New York special, Apri1f4.
After one Of the longest trials
which has been on the calendars Of
the civil courts Of this city, the ac-
ton brought by the Rev. Samuel D.
Hinman against Bishop Hare was
to-day concluded by the jury rem
dering q verdict in favor Of the plain
tiff. Mr.. Hinman sued Bishop
Hare for libel, claiming $4,000
damages, and the case was tried be-
fore Judge Van Worst in the su-
preme court circuit. Yesterday az
ternoon, after q long charge from
Judge Van Worst, the jury retired to
deliberate, and were locked up for
the night. They arrived at a YER
dict about 4 o'clock this morning
and were discharged. When the
time for opening court approached
the room was crowded with numer-
Gus persons, among whom were a
number of clergymen. The plain
tiff, Mr.. Human, with his counsel,
was early in attendance. Bishop
Hare. the defendant, was not in
court, but his counsel was present to
receive the verdict. The jurymcn
came into court and took their seats
q short time after Judge Van Worst
had replied. The clerk called the
names Of the jurors, and each an
swered to his name. In answer to
the question by the clerk, Gentle
mon of the jury, have you agreed
upon q verdict" the foreman hand
ed TO the clerk a large envelope,
which was handed to the Judge.
When the clerk received the envel
opc from Judge Van Worst, he said
Gentlemen Of the jury, you say you
find a verdict for the plaintiff in the
sum OF 100000 The verdict was
received by some Of the spectators
with apparent satisfaction, and by
Others with great surprise. Mr..
Human, the plaintiff, was apparent
" overjoyed. He Immediately
shook hands with his counsel, and
was surrounded by his friends, who
congratulated him upon the result
Of the trial.
Mr.. Nash, defendants counsel,
moved that the jury be polled, and
each juror in answer to the question
is this your verdict said, 1T il"
Mr.. Nash then made a motion for
new trial upon the ground that the
verdict was against the weight Of
evidence, and also that the damages
are excessive. II was agreed that
the counsel should submit their
points on the motion for a new trial
in writing to the Judge some time
next month.
Mr.. Fiske then moved that an al
lowaflce should be granted, and the
Judge directed a. allowance of $500.
stay Of proceedings was granted
pending the decision Of the motion
for q new trial. It is understood
that on the first ballot taken by the
jury ten voted for $50, QUO, and two
voted in favor Of q verdict for the
defendant, They stood in this way
all night until early this morning,
when 4 compromise was effected by
Q verdict for the plaintiff for 10000.

The Amendment.

ED. FREEMAN 1t is a fact we'll
understood by every man Of ordi-
nary information, that the Tenn
perance Tide in West Virginia is
rising higher and higher all the
while. The people are very anx-
ious for q solution Of the drink
problem, and it is to be hoped that
the present Legislature will sub
nit an amendment and thus open
the way for an expression of the
people on this great question. For
our representatives to close their
eyes to the petitions that may be
presented, and turn a deaf ear to
the cries for help that struggling
humanity is sending up from every
quarter, would be folly in the ex-
IRENE.
The settling Of the question at
the polls is only a matter of time.
It will be impossible to crowd it off
much further; then why should
the Legislature not submit it at
once and have the matter done
with? Certainly the people of the
State know what they want. If
they do not want prohibition they
would vote against the amendment.
Why should the Legislature be
afraid to trust them! Not to trust
them by refusing to submit the
amendment would defeat the popu-
lar will, and be taking a step al
together out of harmony with the
principles of our government,
In the near future the fight in
this State will not be so much be-
tween political parties as between
the temperance and law-abiding
element on the one hand and the
whisky element and lawlessness on
the other. That class of citizens in
any State who favor the abolishing
Of the liquor traffic, the protection
of home, and the saving Of the
drunkard, is the better class, there
fore the will Of that class should be
known and honestly considered in
representative legislation

Who is to Blame?
Jackson c. H, Jan. %.

+
FD. FREEMAN: Bear with me just
alittle. | never felt SO much like
trying to write something for your
most excellent paper as just now In
the midst of this crime and death.
To-day attended the funeral of
one Of our Jackson county young
men, who on'last Thursday even
ing was stricken down by his fell
low-man.
But for the curse Of drink in our
midst, this sad occurrence had not
happened, and the town and COM
munity had been spared this sor-
row, suffering and disgrace. a
To-day while | wept with the
weeping father, brothers and sis
tiers, the language Of the Psalmist
impressed me as never before !:
"They are like the grass which
groweth up: in the morning it
hourisheth and groweth up: in the
evening it is cut down and with
ereth ?"
How true. Last Thursday morn
ing, this young man, Robert Nc
CURE, was in the bloom of youth,
bidding fair for long life; in the
evening he was cut down.
Mr. Editor, were it not well to
inquire into this terrible affair and
see who are the guilty parties ?
Against whom will this young
mans blood cry out in the day of
Judgment?
Will it be against the man who
sold the liquor, the drinking man
who started the difficulty, or
against the other man who
struck with the fatal knife :?
Wherever we trace the responsible
ity the fiend Of strong drink is
there, and SO let us demand and cry
aloud for the Punishment Of this
instigator Of all crime.
The manner in which the fiend
of drunkenness has run riot in
Ripley for the past few years is
most shameful. fear it is not
congenial to the feelings Of some Of
the ministers Of that town, to lift
the warning voice against the ac-
cursed evil. The ministers Of the
Gospel must lead in the onsets
against the Devil, and ought to be
bold to charge the truth home. Let
them walk out, Elijah-jike, and
say, Chou art the man" even if
they do have to flee to the brook
Cherith and trust to the ravens to
feed them.
The FREEMAN IS making many
friends in jackson. 1t is just the
paper we have long been wanting.

The Spells System.

Perhaps the king Of evils in
American politics, and in the ma
tional administration, is what is
known as the "spoils system" by
which is meant that offices of honor
and trust are to be conferred as a
reward for partisan fidelity. The
man who goes to the greatest
lengths in q campaign, using the
most corrupt and corrupting meas
ureS to win success is first to be re-
warded with an office, without spec
ial reference to his fitness for the
place, or the wishes Of the people
Immediately concerned. The man,
or party, by whom this system is
overthrow, and that adopted by
which competency and fidelity to
public trusts shall be the only test,
will deserve, not only the gratitude
Of the people, but their hearty sup
port, without reference to former
party shibboleth,-C Central Metho-
dist.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1882-02-01

their freedom to drink much or lit
tie, but such freedom will be short
their glory will bring them
shame their end, eternal night.
True freedom is welded to right,
and right is the law Of liberty. He
who departs from right, FORCES his
own chains.
Is it for the good Of men that any
one advocates the right and the
liberty to manufacture, to sell and
to drink alcoholic liquors? If so,
where is the good it produces?
May we ask where is the evil it
produces 1t is abundantly mani
fest. Where is the liberty it has
ever given? Rather, how many are
it's slaves, too low and mental to be
regarded as men?
The law of life and liberty calls
for the Punishment of alcohol, and
for freedom from its enslaving pow
er. .
Could VIC but gather together all
the curses and woes Of the liquor
traffic, and utter them in one inhar-
monious, universal lament2tlon,
heaven and earth would tremble at
the utterance, angels would weep,
and it would seem that even the
devils would feel pity, Yet men,
lovers Of money more than right,
have the etfrontery to look you in
the face, and say:
"Would YOU take our rights and
liberties from us? We pay our
taxes. We help to support the gov
eminent. If we did not sell it some
body else would. We ave not re-
sponsible ifmen get drunk. If men
give us their money and starve
their families it is not we that do
it. Our business is lawful"
Will heavens wrath always slum-
Der? viii the sober and the just be
always thus insulted?
West Virginians, will you longer
suffer your manhood to be insulted
YOU whose State Motto is, Montana
senper Liberi, will you belle the
seal and motto of your State, by re-
naming the slaves Of rum? Let
West Virginia be indeed the noun
tain State of liberty in America.
Let her mountain men be free ;
free from rum, free from drunken
ness, free from pauperism, free from
murder, free from all the vileness,
fithiness and crime which attend
the free use of alcoholic drinks.
Let us set watch upon our Dor
der, and a seal upon our hills,
and "swear by the eternal" we
will be free
