New York World Editors Indicted.
New YORK, April 3O.-The grand jury
has just handel in indictments against
joseph Pulitzer. John A. Cockarill, Julius
Chambers and James L. Graham of the
New York World for criminal libel of ex-
Judge Hilton.
The World for some months past has
been publishing sensational articles re
garding Judge Hilton's relations to the
Stewart estate and also vague ~insinuations
against the character OF Mrs. Stewart.
On the 23d Judge Hilton wrote District
Attorney Fellows at length, calling at
tcntion to these articles and saying he
would not think of dignifying them by
bringing a civil suit for libel. Had they
been confined to libelling him he should
have treated them with contemptuous
silence, but says the letter: But when
the memory Of adear friend and bene-
factor whose name was the synonym fer
high character. perfect integrity and un-
questionable personal purity. | owe it to
his memory that such shameless and
wanton t~raducers, besides whom the
robbers of his grave are gentle
men of refinement and character,
should be brought to answer at the bar of
public justice. 1t is with that purpose
of view that | write this letter and send
those papers that you may exhibit these
libels to the grand jury for such action as
they may deem proper" Messrs. Ora
ham and Chambers gave bail this after
noon. Mr.. Pulitzer and Mr.. Cockerill
are out of the city on a vacation.

of spring the Niagara Falls hero begins
to exert himself. The usual number of
aspirants for fame will select the falls for
their field Of Operations during the com
ing warm months. Several navigators

marbles and lamp chimneys and drinks

that the trip can be made in twenty-five

While in Richmond recently the
editor Of the Greenville Daily News
shipped to Col. Elliott F. Shepard, of
the New York Mail and Express, per-
sonally, a Confederate battle flag. The
article was sent G. O. D. for the pur-
pose of giving the doughty warrior a
temporary pang Of anguish, but half a
dollar was enclosed within the package
to act as salve and consolation. The
Mail and Express Of the 3lst, prints the
the following:
There is in one Of the front windows
Of the office of this newspaper the
rebel cross flag alluded to in the follow
ing 1oolite letter of the editor Of the
Greenville (S. c. News, who sends it ::

$40 the editor Of the Mail and Express:
dear Sir-I send you herewith a
Confederate battle flag, such as is being
swung by the thousands over all the
thorough fares of Richmond to-day and
being cheered from tens Of thousands
of eX-rebel throats.
"You wear the title of Colonel and
are, believe, of full age: yet, accord
ing to the information We have here,
this will be your first view of the much
hated rebel battle flag. I sincerely
trust that the fact that you can con-
template it free from all risk of the
rebel bullets and bayonets that once
accompanied it will be source of deep
qualification to you. No doubt, sir,
the reverse of a well-known couplet is
true and

The hating are the fearing.'

If, however, Mr.. Pope really thinks,
as he says, that such accounting is not
sufficient, and the the Treasurer's re-
should contain each individual item of
expenditure of the reserve fund, it
seems to us that his complaint is both
late and out of place. Mr. Pope was Il

from his place in the House, and to
o:fer resolution calling on the Treas
urer for q detailed report. The report
having been accepted by tile Legis-
