WASHINGTON, D. c., May 9.-CoL Dom Piatt,

Euit against Gen. ". D. Leggett, Commissioner
CT Patents, for libel the first papers in the case
having been fled this morning by Gen. Birney,

The alleged libel consists OF the following,
which WAS published in the GAINESVILLE {Ohio}

The use of Mr. Townscnd'a name in his con-

is explained By the fact that when tho publica-

associated wi:h Pia:t IN its conduct. He has
not however. been connected with the paper |
eince the third month of it's existence, circum- |
stance of which Leggett does not appear /
to have been advised. Col. Piatt lays |
his damages at 100000. This action seems |
timely. in view Of the fact that it
has become quite common for ofhce-hodets OF
all grades, wien they are brought to account in
tie newspapers for wrone-doing. to forthwith |
charge that it is done for blaclmailing purposes,
and that the silence OF The particular journal /
concerned could have been secured By the ac-

it is not stopped By the tissue OF tho suit it will b
