THE repeated verdicts won by l.. P.
Norton in libel suits against Jas. H. Liv-
ingston, of the RetOrnler, are public and
| judicial vindication of that gentleman
which is quite gratifying. Among his
| friends and wide circle of acquaintance

and in favor of the plaintiff, is better
treatment than is accorded to other vic
tins of the RefOrmer'S pen, Hon. o. M.
Barber alone excepted, to date. Perhaps
a lesson will be learned.
