Error to Circuit Court Marshall county,
Hon. J. W. c. Watson Judge.
The parties to this suit were partners in
q general mercantile business. On the 9Th
Of March 1875 they owned stock Of goods,
worth, at first, cost, about u, 80 90 and also
outstanding debts due the firm amounting
to 10000.
The firm also owed some debts and
among them debt to the plaintiff In error
amounting to $4,000 or $1,000. On that day
a sale Of the stock Of goods was made to
one Morgan ut the invoice price. The
question in issue il, whether the eireum-
stances connected with said sale authorizes
the inference that Ivy, prior to sale to
Morgan, bought Walkers interest In the
goods for q specific sum Of money, 10 be
paid directly by Ivy to Walker. A day or
two before the 9Th Of March, Ivy aud Nor
gan, the purchaser, had some negotiation
about sale Of the stock 10 the latter. Nor
gan proposing to take the stock st invoice
price, provided Ivy or the frm, would buy
from hum tract Of land, at price named
snd which exceeded In amount the value
Of the stock Of goods. Ivy was unwilling
10 make the trade without the consent Of
wsIker. The latter would not consent
10 take an interest In the land. Ivy then
asked Walker 70 let him have the stock, at
ten per cent less than invoice price, 10
which Walker nssented- Thereupon Ivy
sold the stock 10 Morgan and bought his
land paying him the balance new settled,
out Of his privsss ssssts. An invoice was
then taken and amounted 70 about e1,soo.
Ivy charged himself IN the book Of the
frn with this smount less ten per cent
The partnership assirs were still unsettled

Thcre is ono species Of secrecy-that re-
lating 70 the careful supervision of confdcn-
tisl public documents, books printed for
secret societies, and tho authorship of articles
aud pamphlets, 40 already referred to, which
has always been most honorably maintained
When treaties are prematurely published in
newspapers The copy is obtained from some
leakey venal official and not from any of
the printsrs who so. up or worked of the
Original. A case of this kind occurred wear
OF two ago, wherein convention between
this country ond another power WAS revealed
to one of tho evening newspapers. In the
foreign Office, ut Whitehall, there is n regular
stail of prinLerss always at work, and fthese
mon likod they might let out secrets of the
most momentous kind, any one of which
would, perhaps, in these days of Journalistic
competition, be worth few hundred pounds,
But such dcrelicIen OF duty has. never vet
occurred it was a clerk, and not composi-
tor, who betrayed his trust.
Most honorable to the profession is tho
story OF Harding, the printer, who bravely
bore imprisonment rather than reveal tho au-
thorship of the celebrated "Drapior" letters
The printer sat in his cell calmly refusing
the entroatles Of mis- friends to divulge the
name of the writer, Dean Swift, church
msguste, and great wit, who dres cd him
self 10 the disguise Of a low lrish peasant and
sat by listning TO the noblo refusal and ten
der opportunities, only snzious that no word
or glance from the unfortunate printer should
reveal tho secret, Swift wss bent solely M
on securing his own safety al the expense Of
the printer; he covered before tho legal
dagger which Harding boldly confronted.
TIE world has unequally allotted tho need
OF fame To the two contestants. The wit
and printer both fought tho battle for tho
liberty OF the press, until the sense of an.
outraged community released the typogrsph-
or from the peril 80 cody encountered.
There is also tho allegiance which printers
pay TO their chief, in NOT divulging important
Intelligence. In some cases a cOmpostor is
necessarily inirusted with an item of news
which w01ld be negotiable immediately,
aud worth pounds to him. Seldom or over
is there betrayal Of trus. in ihis WAY. The
examination OF papers printed so extensively
in London, is Of tho most tremendous i'm
portsnoe to certain classes, who would psy
amost any sum 10 obtain the toughest proof
the night before. An instance Of this kind
occurred quite recently. A printer was "gol
oL' and promised q considerable amount of
money for q rough proof What WAS his
course Of action! He simply informed the
authorities, and the tempter was punished
1t was another and creditable exsmple nj
how wei and honorably kept arc the secret,
Of the printing office.
