II has been the fortune of most really inde-
pendent newspapers at one time another, to con-
front the crucial test Of life and death struggle
with the public wrongs they dare to assail. 1t
comes sometimes in q combination by corrupt men
to crush the spirit of a free newspaper by an accu-
mutation of suits for libel, which ia different
thing as it can well be from the attempt of man
uniustly accused to compel the law to proclaim bis
innocence The TRIBUNE has always held that
libel suits were even more for the benefit OF the
newspapers than of the public, that they hghteIed
that Sense Of full responsibility for every printed
word which every true journalist should feel, and
acted as salutary checks indiscrmiDate abuse or
willsul SANDER But the recent concentration OF
suits agninst The Philadelphia Times looks more like
an attempt TO choke It than TO compel II to speak
the truth. naval contractor has brought eighteen
complaints for libel against its editor and publisher
although one trial will traverse the only issue be-
tween himself and the paper just on the eve OF this
trial Mayor Stokley, passing by specific accusations
directly affecting his official integrity, selects what
at worst could be but technical libel, without tho
essential element of malice and calls The 7iH5S to
legal account This suit 10 followed by another that
has its origin in the prison cell Of one DIR. Bushanan
dealer in diplomas whose arrest The Tines precip
tated II that paper has wronged any Of these com
planants it should suffer, but no technical hbes OF
doubtful yerdcts Will either benefit its accuSeTs or
injure the wide circulation and influence which it
has earned by It's independent course. An intelh-
gent public does not misunderstood such contests
In all this we do not mean to deprecae the bringing
of a multitude of libel suits against grossly libel
Gus newspaper-which The PhLadslDhG Tines is not.

by the actual inspection of divers, the fact is
attested that few large pieces of rock remain
to give trouble in dredging. The explosion
seems to have done service in destroying the
reef somewhat beyond the edges of the mine.

considerably reduce his early estimates of the

There are good many people who may
proftably study the financial tumble yesterday
in Philadelphia. Ever since the coal COM
bination fell to pieces the Reading clique
in Philadelphia have undertaken to hold
up the price of their stock by main strength
and reoklessness. Everybody knew that it
could no more be worth what 1t was before
that combination was broken than railroad iron
could now be worth what it was five years ago.
But Mr.. Gowen, with the fatuity which great
power and long experience of having ones
way seem often to breed, imagined that he
could reverse the ordM of nature, make water
run up hill, and hold Reading at It's inflated
price, while the other coal stocks were tum-
bling. He did sO-at an enormous cost to the
foolish capitalists who gave him the means
At last, their purses or patience exhausted,
they succumbed, and yesterday the stock fell
% Der cent in an hour. People in New
York who suppose that the extravaganza of
the war, the wholesale watering OF stocks, the
fancy dividends, the needless waste in con-
struction, and the like, which have exhausted
the resources Of many of the best investment
companies. have left no mark and cannot be
traced in the actual value of the stocks, may
find great profit in a close examination OF
what yesterday happened in Philadelphia.

Boss Shepherd has testified on the witness
stand TO Gen. Babcock's good character.
Nevertheless, the indications still are that he
will be acquitted.
The baggage -smasher must take a new place
IN history. One day last week he handled
1000 pieces received from Philadelphia on
the Pennsylvania road alone, aud nobody
seems TO have been hurt. The Centennial
travel on this road reached its maximum last
week will quarter of million passengers
carried to aud from Philadelphia without
accident
No more fitting choice could have been made
for the orator of the Seward statue than that
of Mr. Stewards devoted friend apd warm
partisan. The occasion and the surroundings
compelled the address of Mr.. Eyarts to be
brought within narrower COMPASS than the
oration of ~ Charles Francis Adams sew
eraI years aga, but it will excite less criti-
csm and controversy than did that somewhat
famous address. It deals with Mr.. Seward
rather in respect to what he was in himself
thar as to what he was measured by and
above other men distinguished like bimself.
Yesterdays coal sale showed conclusiyely
that the low prices established by the first
auction are to be maintained The public,
however, viii do we'll even yet TO buy
Sparingly. Coal is more likely to be
lower than higher. The coal compa-
MES must throw it on the market
In large quantities, in order to meet their OBJ
legations, and they must take for it whatever
they can get Buyers have heretofore had
nothing to do in fixing the price. Now they
are likely to have everything, if they do not
throw away Their opportunity by undue haste.

Another savings bank has the wisdom 90
close its doors Of its own accord without wait
ing until the time when they wouldS be shut
in the faces of outraged depositors. The New
Amsterdam follows the good example of the
Bond Street Bank, and asks for the appoint
ment Of a receiver to adjust its affairs. The
large proportion of the real estate to the total
assets makes it hardly possible that the full
figure claimed for them can be realized, but
the depositors are better OF than they Fouid
have been if there had been further delay,
and the community is safely rid of weak
bank which probably had no excuse for being.
Thus Gar every investigation that has been
made tends to confirm the belief that the Hell
Gate explosion crumbled the reef into small
fragments. Both by the sounding apparatus
which has been swept along the bottom, and

Should Gov. T'ilden figure in o suit by the
Government to recover the whole or portions
of his income tax wrongfully withheld from the
Government his friends win have no oppor-
tlnity to protest that he is the victim of po-
litical persecution. Commissioner Raum has
issued a circular to District-Attorne in the
principal cities of the country, authorizing
them to institute suits against all persons who
are found liable on this ground. Mr.. Raam
expects to recover considerable sum of
money, and thus make a successful entry on the
work in which Gov. Tilden himself has won
distinction. That even mere suggestion should
couple his name with such proceeding, and
on the wrong side of the u.s., is strange con-
trast in political history
New-York tribune., 1876-09-28

In. all previous international exhibitions there
have been great unhappiness and sometimes
Just cause for dissatisfaction when the awards
were granted. The Centennial Exhibition will
be distinguished from all others as the one Ill
which the system of awards has proved on the
whole satisfactory. There aE8ears to have
been no unequal liberality shassn In granting
medals 10 the exhibitors of ore nation rather
than to those of another. The judges with
scarcely an exception have been eminently
qualified for their respective tasks The num-
Der of awards is large, but tAe true test of
merit will appear in the statements of the
judges as to the reasons in each instance for
their selection. This is a far better plan than
giving graduated awards, and. is likely to be
adopted in future exhibitions. We print else
