We are discovering that society does not mean

Tho so-called newspaper libel BILL"
which was voted for by both our Vermont
Senators and by Judge Poland, and which
the daily papers have raised such hue and
cry over, appears, on further examination
to be quite different thing from what was
represented. The part of the bill most
complained of was the eleventh section,
which allowed a suit to be brought in the
United States Courts in whatever State,
Territory or district there might be on the
part of the defendants ian agent or agents
in respect of the business or matter out of
which the case arises" This has been con-
strued to mean that Boston or n New
York correspondent in Washington who
should be the means of libel suit, might
be cited to appear in the courts of the Dis
trict of Columbia at great expense and dis
advantage. AS explained by Senator Car
penter in a letter to the New York Times,
the object OF the bill is merely TO reach
such cases as that of manufacturer OF car
riages in the city of New York who estab
fishes house in Chicago for the sale of
such carriages, and his business there is
managed by an agent. The agent sells a
carriage with false warranty. Under the
provisions Of this section suit might be
brought in the Federal Court of Illinois.
In other words, the suit is TO be where the
transaction out of which it arose occurred.
With newspaper correspondents the case
is wholly different. A newspaper CORE
spondent is not business agent in the or
binary sense of the term, and hence the
law does not apply to them.

THE LINCOLN MoNUMENT.-The SPRING
works of the Ames manufacturing Compa-
ny, at Chicopee. Mass, speaks as follows
concerning the Lincoln monument:
But the Ames company have now begun
on their greatest work, the statuary design
ed by Larkin q. Mead, the Braitleb0ro
sculptor at Florence, for the national Lin
coin monument at Springfield, Ill. The
models for the coat-Oi-armS and the figure
ofthe president, already alluded to, arrived
at the works in October, 1870. These COM
peted works are pronounced each perfect
by competent judges Mr.. Lincoln stopped
in his shoulders Just enough TO spoil the fit
of coat about the breast, and the statue
shows this to perfection, while the peculiar
contour of the features, the full lower lip,
the mole in his cheek, the wrinkles on his
forehead, and the nose, unlike any other
except Lincoln's, are all faithfully repro
duced. The four emblGmatc gOonps for
| the monument, representing the infantry,
| cavalry, artillery, and the navy, yet remain
| TO be done these are paid for by the cities
| of New York, Chicago, Boston and Phila-
| delphia, and are each to cost 3,700 the
| presidents statue cost the same amount
| while $500 is paid for the cOat-of-arms.
The infantry and navy groups have arrived
| at the works, and the latter is now being
| cut up for the molding; the former is great

and mnst be practically reconstructed.
Indeed, II is so badly broken as to seem
beyond the hope of restoration, but, with
| patient treatment, the superintendent is
certain of getting it ready for the work men
| in time. Upon the monument the eOat-of-
arms will be placed in front of the pedestal
which bears the statue of Mr.. Lincoln,
while around him, at the four corners OF
the base of the shaft, are placed the four

bolic groups are strongly designed = the
naval service, which is the only one that can
be studied, is especially spirited. Here the
captain, sailor and cabin boy are each Civ

private and drummer; in the cavalry, two
| grades of cavalrymen, etc.,-in each case
surrounded by the accessories of one of the
four branches of the service. The repro
duction of this work in bronze will occupy
the company several years at least.
