Too Meek for nn Editor.


Mr.. Croasdale Of the every Evening
will be the ruin of the editorial pro
fession in this State if he continues to
submit so quietly to every insult that
blackguards may offer. On Saturday
night last his chair was snatched from
under him while sitting in a public
place in Wilmington and glass Of
beer dashed ints his face; all Of which
he bore with meekness that could only
have been expected of the best kind OF
a Chri tian Now as Mr.. G.. does not
put in any claims to piety, verybody
wonders why he has not killed his
man long ago. II he continues to sub
init so humbly it will induce the black
guards to try some Of the rest of us, and
after a while we shall have to fight for
our very lives; all the result of the
meekness of one of our number, and
that, also, the one who claims to be at
the head Of the profession It's too
bad; MIR. c. ought either to go armed to
the teeth and fight like a tiger, or man
itest his meekness more in his editor
ials.

That star Chamber luqussl'
rom the Morning Herald.

The Coronsr's jury on the Rowe mur.
der case voted to exclude the reporters
of th. city press, and also the counsei
for the man charged with the killing.
Their exclusion of counsel was in accord
ance with the practice in other ets.es'
and in England and Ireland. This
presence, as counsel, is mere act oi
grace, to enable him to note the testi
mony, but he has no right whatever 10
cross examine any witness, as the inves-
tigation is merely to ascertain the cause
and manner of the death of the person
killed, and in no way operates upon
the subsequent indictment and triai oi
the accused.
The presence of any citizen who may
note and publish the proceedings Is an
absolute right, which no Attorney ten
eral or Coroner, has any power to
abridge. What farce it was to put
a righ, the exercise Of which is inherent
in every one, to vote Of a "Crowner
ouest" Well, this was "Crowner' S
a uest' law with a vengeance. Every
inquiry judicial in It's nature, by the
spirit of our constitution is intended u
be public. Will the Attorney General
please show us any law which justifles
a Coroners jury to turn their quest
into Star Chamber investigation
The absurdity of this coure is laugh
able.
We present to-day full and peIfec
account of all the evidence in the case
obtained, it is true, with more iaoo
than if the Herald" men had beei
permitted to attend the quest |,
addition, we give facts, found by suci
diligent ami untiring inquiry as IN
Coroner and his jury were not apprise'
of. This exclusion of reporters neVe
works we'll; there is never any trouol

by reading the scriptures. He spoke
Oh persecution from the time Of Christ

marks, he introduced Mrs Watson to
the audience. She was received with
applause. She first ventilated what
she termed the Riley rs. Hagany case.
She felt excited and weak from hav

In men'ioNii Mr.. Ortlip's name sh~
said "that ne was good man and she
Bloped that God would bless him; thew
say he sells rum but she never saw him
sell it,"
She thought that as the Squire was
in the store at the time, that she was
to be tried without jldse or jury and
committed to New Castle. Mrs. Watson
said she had met Squire Hagany be
forn and her impression was that he
was a simple minded old gentleman,
and she remarked as an excuse for lis
actions that he was ''once a man and
twice child" She also said she
was told that he was an admirer Of
Mrs. Riley.
