AS to the alleged libel itself We received
yesterday from the lawyers the ponderous
complaint of Mr.. Shepherd. lt recltes ap-
parently every dispatch FROM Washington ana
every editorial relating to h,e District Ring,
down to the date when COngres undertook an
Investigation. That investigation The TRIB-
UNEs course largely aided to bring on. Its
result was tbe utter demolition of the
Ring and the downfall of Mr.. Shepherd; and
the Congressional verdict to this end was not
reached till long after the similar verdict of
the country had been rendered. If Mr.. Shep-
herd had brought suit before. we could at
least have understood him. To bring suit now
is as if Tweed should emerge from Black
wells Island to arrest us for speaking of his
thefts.
But we heartily believe in libel suits, and
are perfectly willing that Gov. Shepherd
should have one. The trouble is that the
mon who are really libeled rarely sue ;-while
TOBue5 are Oltcu Iuo nioI W puV ih " H"N' "''N
as their answer to an exposure. 1t is easy to
say, ooh, that's all o newspaper lie, and
shave sued for a hundred thousand dollars
damages" People notice the sounding
sum, and quite forget to watch what
becomes of the suit, or whether any
thing becomes of it. But The TRIBUNE
means to libel nobody ;-and if it does it asks
40 immunity. 1t has spent thousands of dol
lars in investigating the cOrruptiOns Of the
District Ring, and has helped to break them
up it must expect the revengeful enmity OF
the persons it has displaced, and it has no
fear that the popular approval will fail to
sustain its work. We have no desire, in
deed, to 90 a days Journey from home to
answer to Mr.. Shepherds charge. He could at
any time have brought suit here. If he dis
liked the State Courts, those of the United
States were open to him. The libeled lnno-
cence which could only be vindicated by
waiting for years to get an opportunity,
through violating the safeguard of Con-
gressienal subpoena, to force trial In
Washington, is not of the kind to
pass unchallenged. By the time we have
done with the case, we shall hope to have the
whole country know what was the character,
and what the work of the man whom so
servile O body as the United States Senate
refused to accept at the Presidents hands, and
drove instead into retirement and disgrace
There isnt much that Senate cannot stand,
but it could MT stand Boss Shepherd.

an IMPROBABLE RING.

Before some of the honest and well meaning
gentlemen of the Administration party. who
seem sincerely desirous of supporting Presi-
dent Grant as the exponent of Republican
principles, shall have fully committed them
selves to an unquestioning approval of the
conduct of the Administration with reference
to Louisiana affairs, we beg them to consider
one or two salient features of the case. We
take for granted that they are not prepared to
assume that whatever has been done was right
merely because it was done or ordered by the
Administration and its friends. We suppose
they can conceive the possibility of situa-
ton in which some things might be done for
the accomplishment OF even 80 desirable an
end as the continuance OF Republican
ascendency in the State of Louisiana, which
they could not in their cOnscences approve
We simply ask them to consider certain as

The election of Gov. A. 8. Paddock as United
States Senator from Nebraska is another evl-
denee that the independence shown OF late IN
popular elections is working its way into Leg
islatures. Gen. Thayer was the regular caucus
nominee of the Republicans, and was the IA
yorite of the Administration. His defeat was
secured by coalition between the Independ-
ent Republicans and Democrats. Thus King
Caucus and the Administration receive another
severe blow, and we have reason to believe
Nebraska secures good Senator.

rr.E NExC CONVENTION.

The Nashville american says that
at the recent informal meeting OF the
National Democr attic Executive Com
mittee the question OF the time aud
location of the National Convention
was considered. No~defnite action
was had, but, according to the dis
patches, tn re seemed to be an a most
universal feeling in favor of not hold
ing it east of Cincinnati. Il seemed
to be tacitly conceded that st. Louis
or Louisville would be chosen, and the
prevailing sentiment was in favor OF
the former city. It may be remarked
in this connection that the new Cham
Der of Commerce in st. Louis, where
the Convention will be held, if held at
all in that city, is perhaps better
adapted for the purpose than any
building in the whole country. Brand
