A justice Of the pence brought suit against
The New York Evening Post for alleged injury
done to his character by the publication OF an
Associated Press dispatch which gave his
name as one Of several criminals examined by
him. Informed Of the mistake, which was an
oasy one to make tho Post promptly corrected
the error, thus showing that it was entirely
without malice. But The Justice was not sat-
astied. He commenced suit for libel. and Is
awarded dix cents by way Of damages, The
court held that as there WIS no malice in tho
publication and no actual Injury the plaintiff
was entitled to only nominal damages. But,
thrilling as 1t might appear, an award Of six
cents was too much, for 1t carried the costs
which, ordinarily, are not inoonsiderhblo.

Once upon 9 time some Inhabitants
Of q town In Illinois wanted to build 8
railroad, but others Of The inhabitants
opposed very bitterly giving any aid to
the company that offered 10 build the
road. The opponents Of the measure
talked about the cost, and declared that
to build the road would iDjure the
place. Notwithstanding this the town
voted to aid the road and II was built.
In three years from its completion the
town trebled Ia population, and some
Of the most energetic opponents OF the
road grew very rich from the increased
business the road brought to the town
and all we're rejoiced that the road was
built.
The very few of our citizens who op.
pose the voting of all to the Deer
Greek Railroad on it's completion to
Rolling Fork should reflect seriously
on their course, for it seems to US that
VickSburg is just in the position the
Illinois town was in. There is no
doubt that this railroad will greatly
aid this city, aud the opponents of the
measure should reflect that another op.
%portunity to secure the road may never
be presented. We think II is now or
never. If this proposition is voted
down, a man who would attempt to
get ViCksburg to accept another, would
be q lunatic. Public interest in this
measure iS now thoroughly excited,
and II the measure IL defeated Vicks.

LONDON, May 29.--It IL stated that

view with Lord Salisbury yesterday,
at which he submitted RusslA's answer
to the points raised by England t0uch-
ing the Congress, and the final under
standing reached during last week's ne.
gOtiations. No doubt is expressed In
any quarter about the assembling Of

feature OF the morning's news is In the
direction of Austria, for although
Count Andrsssy had been oil along per.
sistently In favor OF o European seEue-
ment In Congress, his u~tterances now,
and Austrian preparations, are creating
u~neasiness.
The 81. Petersburg unOficiel press
are still incredulous about peace, and
point out that while Austria aud Rus
Sia were making negotiations England
brought troops from India; now, Eng
land accepts the Congress and Austria

Russia.
Berlin journals are full Of sarcastic
criticiam of Austria's position. They

Austria could do to remind Russia Of
her claims, while the Russo nglish
agreement was pertecting for Russian
aud English interests. Austria, there
fore, seems unable longer TO efEeclually
take care OF her own and Germanye

The semi.oficial North German
Gazette don't adopG this tone. On the
contrary 1t advocates the formation OF
