DEAR SIR:-The contents and charac-
ter of the publication relating TO the
Bcechcr-TI ton controversy for the past
wear have been such that ! am inclined
to think that in case am called upon to
prosecute criminally every libel which
mas been published in connection with it,
the more important administration
of criminal law will of necessity, stand
over for the next half century. It is
among the mistortunes of Civil Courts,
that parties may there indulge in AL
manner of Quarrels and exploits, natu-
raj or artificial, ut their will But the
courts of criminal jurisdiction are moved
only by the people and for the people
Ofthe State. In this hot weather, Jail
eases, like those of Loeder and Price,
have the preference, as it is regarded
greater hardship for parties not yet
proven guilty to sweat in Raymond
street. than to suffer from libeliOus pub
lics,ions. 1t would afford me great pleas.
ure 10 worry you for any oftnse coming
within the ,cverer duties OF the summer
months but it Is out of my power to
indulge you in what YOU seem to
REGARD aS Il luxury at the
cost of the neglect of business that is en-
titled to preference. Later on | may
be able to accommodate YOU to Your en-
tire satisfaction, and then YOU may have
reason to rejoice that the ordeal had not
taxed YOUR energies and fortitudc during
the heated term. Very respectfully.

Visit of the Prince OF Wales 10 India.

presents need not be observed, yet the
Prince must be placed in II position to
exercise generosity and display
Splendor. 1t would, however
be undignifed to enter into
discussion upon this point

will last six months The expense to
insure the necessary pomp and dignity

New YORK, July S.-The following
corre, ponJeure between Frank Moultnn
and District-Attorney BrItton, explains
itself;
SIR-It is now nearly year since, at
the instance of Rev. Henry Ward Beech
cr. was indicted for libel in charging
him with adultery with Elizabeth r.
Tilton. During al this time the prose-
cution have taken no step for the trial
of the indictment. | am advised that
have right to demand a trial, and ac-
cogdingly l hereby notify You that | am
ready any moment to meet the charge,
and I request You to appoint the earliest
practicable day for the trial, and since it
is intimated by parties Of the prosecution
that they intend to shield him
from the consequences OF ex-
pusure involved in the trial of my
charge Of adultery, by procuring a with
drawal or suppression Of the indictment,
! hereby protest against such al evasion
of public justice and outrage upon pr-
vate right. If Henry Ward Beecher be
innocent OF the charge | have
published against him, ought
to be punished for my ofcnsc. On the
other nand, if have not accused him
falsely and were guilty of the otiense,
society and law owe me an acquittal and
vindication from the indictment pre-.
ferrcd against me.

ChnmdIcr-Bue Libel Suit.

Sr. LOUIS, July s.-The Chandler
Buell. libel suit came up in the United
States District Court here to-day. Upon
the application of District Attorney
Dyer for writ of removal to the Dis.
trict of Columbia, under the new indi"t-
meLt found by the last grand jury in
session in Washington, this new indict-
ment raises entirely q new question of
law, in that it charges the
alleged libelous publication to
have been made in Washington by
the act Of filing the manuscript Of u
special dispatch to Il Washington news
paper in the Washington Office of the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
No other complete act Of publication is
charged in the new indictment, and the
appearance of the alleged libel in the
Detroit Free Press is only mentioned in.
cidentally. The case will turn on the
question whether or not the filing OF
special in the Office Of telegraph COM
pany constitutes publication in law.
