The Ouay Libel Suits.

The case of the Commonwealth VS. the
Pittsburg Post "a corporation), A. ). Barr
and J. F. Mills, for criminal libel was con-
tinued in Criminal Court Room No. /, IN
Pittsburg, last Thursday The defense
set up by the defendants was that they
published the Bardsley- Quay certificate,
and commented thereon, in good faith,
having been assured by Attorney General
Hensel that the proofs of Quay's connec-
ton with the Bardsley thefts was com
plete. They denied malice or negligence
and therefore claimed that under the cir
cumstances, the publication was privileg-
ed by constitutional right.
The evidence was all in and the attor-
news speeches were all made by Friday
noon, and that afternoon Judge Porter de-
livered his charge, which consisted IN
great part of lot of as contradictory ana
confusing sentences as we have ever hs-
tened to. 1t was SO unsatisfactory that
the jury, after being out fer an hour or
two, came back for further instructions
and after getting another dose OF the same
medicine returned with verdict of guilty
as indicted.
We happened to be in the court room at
the time and thought that several OF the
Judges remarks were open to criticism;
but the most extraordinary feature OF both
this trial and that at Beaver, was the pack
ing of the jury; and this was done by
Quay's attorneys in both cases, by reviv-
ing an old and obsol etc statute giving the
State the right to stand aside two-thirds OF
the jury panel without reason 1t IS an old
statute, copied from the old English law
giving the King the right of challenging
as many jurors as he pleased. and its un'
fairness and injustice have been so general
ly acknowledged that for many years it
has remained 'dead letter" on the books;
but Quay's attorneys saw fit to revive 1t,
and with its aid, they and they alone Sc
lected the jurors in the two cases. The
Post says it will appeal the case on this
point and we hope it will, and we hope our
next Legislature will repeal the law. as 1t
puts the partisan press at the mercy OF the
officials of the oppo site party, according TO
o;ronmstanoes

Black in New Castle.

The following was sent from New Castle
to the Pittsburg Times of Wednesday
Newton Black, Esq, of Butler county,
was in this city yesterday. he has not
yet been announced as q candidate for
Congress, and says it is doubtful whether
Butler county will name candidate thi,
year or leave the field open to Thomas W
Phillips. On presidential matters Mr.
Black remarked that Blaine can have the
whole Butler county pie. If Blaine is not
a candidate, Harrison is Butler county'i
second choice.
The New Castle Ners says Mr.. Blaci
talked on various subjects and incidentally
on politics. He said there was not much
interest manifested in his county yet il
local matters, but that there were very
few offices that had not some aspirants,
as for congress he had tried to go to con
gress himself once or twice, but had mo-
succeeded.
''Mr. Black" asked the.reporter. at il

and that he is foremost in the minds of the
people. AS for my personal relation to
the Congressional canvass l can say moth

matter sufficient attention"
Mr.. Black left the impression that h
may be a candidate, and that then agaiI
he may not As for President, said he
"James G. Blaine can have.the whole But
Ter county pie if he wants it. We have
been for Blaine since 1875. Next to hin

PRESIDENT HARRrsoN's strong and con-
vincing message to Congress on the Chill
ian affair, was sent to Congress Monday,
and itswas well received in both Houses.
1t was referred to the proper committee $,
and will, without doubt be acted upon
promptly unless the Chilian government
makes ample amends in the meantime.
The butchery of the sailors of the Balti-
more, while ashore on '1iberty" was an
outrage that no civilized government can
afford to overlook In this case it would
be an invitation to every petty govern
ment on Earth to insult our flag and i'm
pose upon those of our citizens who hap
pened to be within their jurisdiction. The
Chilian government has acted the
part of the vicious cur in this matter.
1t is pity that such agoyernment exists on
the American continent.

In Quay's case they(the libel suit YER
dicts)count for less than nothing. He is q
man too deeply discredited to be white
washed. He seeks verdicts only in courts
where he can choose his own jurymen.
He has not dared to face facts where trials
are free. He prosecutes before juries o
his own, the newspapers Of Pennsylvania
for publishing minor matters of damag
ing sort in connection with the Bardsley
thsfts, but he has never dared bring ths
World into court for its earlier, more
specific and immeasursbly more damaging
accusations involving Quay himself.
He is man utterly discredited and no
verdict of packed partisan jury can re-
habihtate Hmm. Y. World.

Meeting Of the County Committee.

The Republican State Committee meets
to-day in Philadelphia for the purpose OF
fixing the time for the State Convention,
and Chairman Christley has called meet
ing of the County Committee for tomorrow
a week, Saturday, FEBRUARY 6th-to fi1
the time for our primary, which will have
to be held q few days before the State Con-
vention.
The resolutions adopted by the late Con-
gressional Conferess viii come before the
Committee, for adoption or rejection in
part or whole, and we wish to call the at
tention of the Committee to the wording
ofthe second resolution which is as follows:
Resolved Q. That each candidate for
Congress, at least two weeks previous TO
the Republican Primary election in the
respective counties, shall send to the
Chairman of each County Committee in
the district, notice that he is candidate
for Congress, and upon payment OF the
necessary fees, said person shall be con-
sidered candidate to be voted for IN that
county. Without compliance with this
rule or resolution, votes in the said county
shall not be counted for the candidate thus
failing to announce. Our only oD-
lection to it is in the words "At least two
weeks" Itseems to us that in order to pro-
vide for the withdrawal of candidate
who has no opposition in his own county,
that matter should be left open till the last
possible moment.
Another matter to be considered is the
propriety of allowing the party in the
county to name its choice for United States
Senator. Our present representation in
the United States Senate is, we believe,
disgrace and humiliation, not only to the
Republican party but also to the people Of
the whole State, and as we now have, in
the candidacy Of John Dalzell, an oppor-
tunity of bettering ourselves, for Gods
sake and our own, let us do so, or at least
do our share.

THE Democratic national convention
will be held in Chicago, Tuesday, June 81.
This decision was arrived at by the De mo-
cratic national committee sitting in Wash
ington last Thursday night on the fifteenth
ballot The early ballots disclosed that
there was quite floating vote and this
after the first few ballots was given in
turn to various competing cities as COM
plimentary expression. AS to the political
significance of the selection the prevailing
opinion is that 1t is q straddle of the
Cleveland Hill fight and favors, if anyone
q western man.
Mr.. BLAiSE had another furry of indi-
gestion and nausea recently and had to
leave a cabinet meeting. The unfortunate
experiences of the Secretary with his in
ternal works would probably lead him to
subscribe to Josh Billings wise dictum:
Fame is good thing wealth end wisdom
is desirable. and fine cloths is nice--,bqt a
good, reliable set of stomach works is
worth it su."-Frsukliu Eers.

countries 0tter good authority estimates
the amount as high as $1OO.Oo0,OOO One
hundred thousand people go to Europe
