gratifying that we can truthful ly and feel
ingly unite voices in commendation OF
the Iamented dead with those of the many
thousands of a common people. The occa-
sion which called for such sentiments is
painful in its recollectons, and as fully de-
plored by the people OF the South as by those
of any other section. The unanimity with
which these resolutions were passed and the
expressions conveyed therein speak more
than any words OF mine, and you can rest
assured, madam, that in them is voiced the
tribute of all old soldiers of the South to the
sterling worth of the late President" Mrs.
Garfield with great effort repressed her
emotion and briefly expressed her gratitude,
while the aged mother of the late President
wept violently.

In the libel suit of Edward Crane
against Edwin f. Waters ct al, publishers
Of the Boston Daily AdUertiser, Judge
Lowell, of the United States Circuit Court,
overruled the demurrer of the plaintiff to
the second part OF defendants answer. This
was a suit to recover damages for alleged
libellous matter published by the defendant
in regard to the New York g. New England
Railroad at a meeting of the stockholders OF
said road in 1881. The damages claimed
were 100000. Plaintiff alleged general
damages, and also second count of special
damages, claiming that he was the manager
and constructor of the railroad, and was get
ting up a line between Boston and New
York, of which the New York tSNew England
Road was to form part, and by reason
of the article entitled, ''History Repeat
ed, published by defendants, he lost the
support of the stockholders Of the road.
The opinion finds that in the case of a rail-
road there are some things that are private
and some public; that the contemplated con-
struction Of railroad, interesting people
to take stock, is of public nature, and that
a writer or speaker might discuss such a
project in a general way, and where they
acted in good faith would not be required to
prove the truth OF their statement as i'll
speaking of a private matter; that the|plain-
tiff holding himself out as a railroad mana
ger and constructor, his acts in this respect
were OF such a public character as attaches
to such positions, and that defendants had
a right to comment upon them in good faith
in this respect. The ruling virtually gives
judgment for defendants.
