The CIRCUIT COURT of Boston has
justified the defendants in a libel suit,
proprietors of the Boston Advertiser
in their structures upon a proposed
railroad organization, charging that 1t
designed corruptly to influence anoth-
er road IN its interest.
The Court held that the
Journalist isnot bound to prove his
statements true, but has a qualified
privilege on the free discussion of all
questions pertaining to public road.
If aggrieved the proprietors may avail
themselves of a denial, and the usual
resources of a defensive showing. The
building of railroad is a public inter-
prise and, in the discussion of its affairs,
the largest freedom consistent with the
entire absence of malice, may be indul-
ged. 1t would be at war with public
policy to impose further restraint.

IHE FLOATING democratic scum of
New York who are always afraid that
the party will slip away from them by
getting respectable candidate in the
field, is in chronic alarm over Door old
MIR. Tilden's infrm protests of official
retirement. 1t is Mr.. Tilden's age and
lnflrmlty that protest. Why should
they not have credence? Whatever
may be said of Mr.. Tilden's party, or
his politics, he ever brings respectable
lty and character into a canvass. The
mark he made on the political morals
OF the New York democracy, when
governor was an earnest to rogues
and scamps in political democratic cir
cles to move out. There was an i'm.
proved personel in clubs and associa-
tons when Uncle Samuel was on the
ticket; and we do not doubt it would
be so again. But the old man is pass
ing consciously out of politics as one
OF the first doors through which he
moves on his way out of time. But
the political scum do not discern this
departure, nor see the tenacity with
which the Tilden mind holds on to it's
heathan idols, clings to old images wor-
SHIPPED in early days, seeks to cleanse
the rain and rust from the walls of
memory, all out of sheer reluctance to
standing on the shore of the mysterious
river and waiting, like man, for the
boatman's call.

He Hung his Coat on the Gate.

The other morning about 1 O'Clock, as one
of the inmates of a boarding house on Avenue
E was looking out of the lattice, he noticed a
man standing at the gate. Wondering what
he, stranger, could want there at such an
hour, he watched him remove his coat and
put it upon the gate, he did likewise with his
vest, and was proceeding to unloose his sus-
penders, when the inmate called out, "Hallo |!
what are you doing there. It's time you went
home" 81 am (hic) going (hic) home"
calculated the stranger. The inmate then lett
the spot for a moment and then returned and
found the man had gone. Concluding all to
be right he retired to rest. In the morning
the coat and vest were found On the gate and
they are still in the possession of the land
