Hit i'm the Head.

This forenoon young man named But
ler, in company with a companion whose
name is unknown, called at the sporting
house kept by Mrs. Manly, at 152 George
street, and asked to see the landlady. She
answered to the summons, but on
entering the room she sta es that as soon as
she saw who the parties were she opened
the door and ordered them to leave, where
upon Butler drew pair of knuckles and
struck her severe blow over the
left eye, causing severe wound,
and knocking her almost senseless. A
physician was called, who dressed the
wound, and stated that it did not lack
much of skull fracture. The young men
escaped, but Mrs. Manly declares that a
warrant will be sworn out for their arrest
as soon as she is able to do so.

WAHLE'S LIBEL SUIT.
The GaZette's Defense of Journal
istic Privilege and Justification
OVerrule0.

The GaZette's Defense of Journal
istic Privilege and Justification
| 0verruled.
The case of Gustav R. Wahle against the
Cincinnati Gazette Company was called up
in the Superior Court to-day.
In this case suit to recover damages for
alleged libelous publications in the Gazette
concerning Mr.. Wahle during his service as
Postmaster of Cincinnati, Judge Force dis
posed of the two pleas of the defendant
frs ly, the plea that the publication came
under the head of privileged communica-
tons; and, secondly, the plea of justifca-
ton.
Among the various statements alleged in
the article was that the plaintiff was "a
thief" and thai "being a thief and feon
he should 60 to the Penitentiary, and was
not proper person to be entrusted with
| the transmission of money orders"
Now the question is, what are privileged
conmunicar ions, and what is the rule of
law on that subject? If statement is not
privileged when made by citizen, it GER
| tainly is not privileged when made by a
newspaper and spread abroad by the as
sistance of an engine of fifty tons power
Under representative form of govern
ment every citizen has an interest in the
conduct of every public office and has the
right to discuss the conduct of such officer,
if he does so in good faith and to enlighten
the public and not for malice or personal
ends
In New Hampshire the doctrine is laid
down that remarks upon the conduct OF a
public officer while in office, is privileged
and not aclonable; but this is not the rule
in any other State in the Union.
On the contrary, the rules in the other
States, including Ohio, is that statements
made of public officer do not come under
the head of privileged communications;
that when statements are made, in their
nature libelous it is no de-
fense that they were made on
reasonable belief and with good motives,
and that such defense could only be set
up in mitigation of damages. The demur-
rers of the plaintiff to the pleas of the Ca
zette were sustained and the pleas of the
Gazette overruled.

KEEP COOL.

We have been asked many questions
In regard to the recently published
statement Of self-styled representa-
tive Of the Colorado Centra. railway
company. We have paid but little at
tention to this would-be commissioner,
for his story is too thin. Whenever
the railroad company desires to make
another proposition to the people Of
Laramie county, the message will
come through more reliable sources.
Our county commissioners have re-
ceived no communication from any one
In authority on this subject; when
another proposition shall be properly
made to our legal representatives,
Messrs. Holt, Hecht and Leibey, it will
be time enough to discuss 1t. For the
present our people can well afford to let
this matter rest quietly; something will
turn up' within the next two or three
months, that will change the condition
OF things here considerably.
