Only a Negroes Bones.

On Thursday while digging a hole
in which to sink a barrel to hold wa
ter convenient to one of the boilers
used in digging the artesian well in
the court house square, the skull and
bones OF one Of the negroes killed in
the Colfax riot &c years ago, was I'M
earthed. At once an idle and gaping
crowd gathered, and several little
boys exhibited ghoulish glee in Dig
ging and scratching out the grim re-
mains for inspection. True. it was
only a negroes bones, but common
decency prompts that they becovered
out of sight, and humanity dictates
that the children should not be allow
ed to play the role Of jackal and
grave digger.

The limits OF legitimate criticism
havelately had new legal definition.
A critic in the Saturday Review had
described book as "misera bic twad-
die, and as ga compound Of unctu-
GUS sectarianism, cant, bemuddle-
ment, ignorance, dogmatism and ia
tuity.' The judge told the jury that
"if the critic honestly thought that,
and the jury considered that in saying
it he was not going beyond the limits
of fair, honest criticism, then
they ought to find that it was not H.
BEL" And so the jury found; there
fore, it was not hbel.-Picayune.

abused him for what we believed to
be Intentional imposition upon the
newspaper fraternity. The Doctor
claims that we have libeled him in the
publication, and, being British sub
ject, threatens suit in the us. courts
for damages unless we comply with
his demand to retract and withdraw
our statements in regard to his char
acter "in a manner as public as the
article itself"
Now, we have always tried to be
just and truthful in our dealings, and
especially never to inflict malicious
injury, prefering always to suffer I'm
position rather than be guilty of in
justice. Therefore, if we have done
DIR. E. p. Halstead any wrong or in
jury we are sorry for it, and beg his
pardon, and hereby retract any and
all unnecessarily harsh epithets, criti-
clsms and inferences that may have
been used in reference to his charac-
ter in the article referred to.
We have no personal acquaintance
with the Doctor, having never seen
him, and therefore know nothing
about his standing for probity and
fairness, but, from the brusqueness of
his letters and his dillatoriness in set

cause for complaint on our side.
So that, while we tender this AMEN
