The Rights of the Press.

In recent libel suit in Rhode
Island, the Chiet Justice LAID down
the law in his charge to the jury as
follows:
l think that 4 public newspaper
has right TO comment upon aid
criticise in the discharge of public
duties. l think that if the publish
ere discover what they consided to
be defects, they have right TO point
them out. If there are facts which
suggest faults, think that the pub
lie press has right to criticise and
If in this freedom of comment they
act fairly and honestly and mean
ing to do what is right, they cannot
be held accountable. 1t is of great
importance to the public newspapers
should have this liberty. If there
should be none to censure or to criti
else, frauds would grow more and
more intolerable, to the manifest per-
II of the public welfare, and there
fore you can see that the public have
a great interest in maintaining I'm
shacklcd the right Of the public
press to freely and fairly criticise.

About six years ago | became afflicted
with very disagreeable skin disease,
with large, dry sores and many crusted
pimples on nv face, hands and shoul-

sores near my eye alarmed me very
much. ] tried all kinds of treatment,

the disease. finally decided to try

PLAIN GENTLEME EN-.
The Aversion of Secretary La.
mar and Mr.. Garland to
Society.
Hartman, Ark.

Special Correspondence OF the Post Dispatch
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 23.-
Messrs. Garland and Lamar are the
two quiet members OF the new Cabl-
net. Neither Of them will do any,
thing in the way of entertaining.
Garland has positive dislike to
going out IN society, and refuses
nearly every invitation sent him.
He is occasionally coaxed out to q
gentleman's dinner, but beyond that
he is never seen anywhere. He will
not consent to change his quiet
method OF life since he has become
Attorney General. His mother, Mrs.
Hubbard, is as plain and old fash
ioned as her son. Last Wednesday
(Which is the day when the families
OF the Cabinet officials receive) II
number of fashionable ladies called at
Mr.. Garland's plain house upon
Massachusetts ayenue.' Instead Of
being received by a servant at the
door, Mrs. Hubbard came herself.
She was very dignlfied and seli-pos-
sessed. She showed the ladies into
the parlor and sat down and talked
with them in the most matter Of fact
way She seemed to have good
knowledge Of the politics of Wash
ington, and was more familiar with
public men than with mere social
affairs. Every time there was ring
at the bell she would excuse herself
and 60 to the door to admit new call
els. After time bright-faced old
colored woman came up from down
stairs and said, "Mrs. Hubbard, l
will attend door now for while"
All of the ladies who called were
very much pleased. They found as
much pleasure in their call at this
house, and perhaps more than they
did in the houses where they were
received with more ceremony.
Mr.. Lamar is perhaps fonder of
general society than Mr.. Garland,
but he is equally quiet and simple
in his tastes. He takes no pleasure
in a general reception. He likes lit.
tie dinner parties and limited cir
Gle of congenial friends. He has
great dignity and selfpossession,
but has no small change in the way
Of light conversation. He therefore
finds the society of strangers rather
irksome. do not believe that he
will attempt to set up any establish
ment here, Mt least for year or SO.
His daughter, who is here is young
Miss just out of school and her fa-
ther does not desire to put upon her
the burden of taking charge of so
cial establishment.

PRICE FIVE CENTS.
To the Memory of Miss May
Johnson.


| O vision fair, o vision bright!
A form too fair for earth's dull light,
Though could'st not stay with friends
below
| Where mortal is pain and woe,
But In serener worlds on high
/ Is now thy home of cloudless sky.
But we, though left in pain and stgif@,
To battle with the ills of life,
While holding to thy memory dear,
Would not invade thy happier sphere
10 have thee live life DER again,
TO feel with us deaths bitter pain.
No, thou hast passsd the gates of life,
Whose heavenly glory shining bright,
Leads onward to elysian fields
Where life's fair tree forever yields
Her golden fruit for meet relief
or spirits mourn with pain and grief.
In early spring the flowers will wave,
In light DER thy untimely grave,
AS gently touched by passing breeze
In murmurs signing through the trees
They lose their life in their sweet
breath,
As thou in thy lamented death.
The blue-brd from his tuneful throat
Will fill the air with warbling note,
The bee that builds his fragrant cell,
Will roam abroad through fiowery dell,
Awaking echoes of thy name,
Which in our hearts shall e'er remain.
We bow with hearts submissive meek,
While we the sad farewell must speak,
In hope that when life's tolls are DER
Well meet thee OH that happier shore,
Where life shall bloom in beauty
bright
In shining realms of fadeIess light.
A FRIEND.

Gov. Hughes struck down that
part Of the new revenue law provid-
ing for the adjustment of the county
boards of equalization. The follow
ing is an extract from his message
giving his reasons for the exercise
of the veto power:
81 cannot conceive how law pro
viding for fair equalization of the
value Of property assessed for tax
alton can be productive of hardships
or injury, but it is easy to conceive
that without some such law. equal
ity, uniformity and fairness in taxa.
tion may be defeated, and the integ-
rity and security Of the public rev
enue og the state greatly impaired.
cannot believe that the fair minded
and right thinking people OF the
state desire te be without the val
liable security against inequality in
taxation, which these provisions of
the law were intended to afferd. Be
heying that, IN whatever action the
general assembly may see proper to
take upon further consideration of
this bill, it will be governed by the
highest considerations Of the welfare
of the wealth. and OF justice
to all her citizens"

Some little excitement was created
! in the legislative hall Yesterday af
ternoon by Representative Millsaps
of Van Buren, rising to question o
privilege. and attempting to ex
plain rumor that connected hin
with divorce suit pending between
Mrs. s. A. Massey and Mr.. W. G.
Massey. The chair ruled him out
of order, but he had said enough tc
bring the affair before the public
A Democrat reporter found that on
the 18th of March, Mrs. MASSEY filed
complaint in chancery court against
her husband, praying for a divorce
upon the ground of inhuman treat
ment
She sets up long line of abuses
which, if proven, will doubtless be
regarded by the court as sufficient
grounds for divorce.
This morning the reporter met
Mr.. Millsaps and said: as there
any truth in these reports about
you?
