And if this news- ile, Miller and E. L Stanton for the | paper acted in good faith and upon reasonabie intormation in publishing these facta, the quse- tion is not whether the matter is Gerd and ab- folutely true. The law does not hold journals to absolute certainty and mathematical exacti- tude, but only to good faith and reasonable in- formation. And though this distorted audex- rated consiruetion be put upon the yet since the matter concerned the public the conductors ot the paper had aright to publish it, it they believed it to be true, and acted in good faith—a= there can be no donbt they did in this case, whatever construction which they seek with so «much effort to establish, still 1 submit this would not beacase in which you could inilict a penalty upon there publishers. But what is the real meaning of this publica- tion? What is the general tenor and the pur- portotit? For that is an important point Judging whether its object was to hold th’ Plaintiff up to derision and scorn, and to bri: him into contempt. It is simply this: That having cause to suspect a lady whom he dit know, whose innocence, therefore, he was not presumed to know, he, missing some articles, followed ber from his store, asked her nam, and in response to her request iatormed ty the cause of hisinguiry. There is no | meaning here; no holding up to scorn a: Fision iy thus, Atterwards it 1s stated he went toa magistrate and scught a warrant fer her arrest. Any pru- dent man might have done the samo thing. There was not even ditcourtesy in it. And th it is stated that the husband, being angry, whipped another man, supposing him to be the plaintift. That is all there is of it. In its gene- u or and substance which as I submit is wh ou are to look at. You do not wish some little foible of your nature separated from your whole course of conduct, the whole context ot your life, and to be judged by that. And, there- fore, I submit that to pick out a word of this publication here, to spy out another there, to spell out another somewhere else, is not a fair mode of ascertaining the meaning of this arti- ele. On the contrary you are to pass judgment in respect ot its general tenor and ‘meaning; which imputes no discourtesy—not even impru- dence, to this man, aud which alleges no fault committed by him. But gentlemen, I do not rest even upon this theory of general tenor, I will follow up the separate words picked out by counsel and see it there ig in them or in any one of them any libelons meaning; any impatation, anything which would bold this man up to scorn and de- | rision. 4 listened with ¢ome care to G sneral Carrinz- ton when he came to this part of his argum=1 to see him put his finger upon even one word, and even by separating it from the context, put upon it # libelous meaning; and I then intended tosclect and exemine that word fairly to dis- cover if it were libelous. That is what I pro- pose now todo. Bear in mind that it is right foregard not merely the general meaning o! the article, but to consider also the reiations between the parties; and the testimony is un- contradicted that there was no disposition t injure this plaintit®. General Carrington PIs, bis finger where? At the caption «An sulted Wife,” he exelaims in stentorian tones, A husband's vengeance,” “The wrong man idl. and I took down his wor: Prince was a blackguard, that he had wantonly and onjustifiably insulted a lady, that he mer- ited the vengeance of ber husband, that he ought to have been punished, and that be was u coward, who onght to have been whipped by the husband. He cuts off from the article this beading, and he gives these words that meaninz, however, they will not bear. It is stated in the context of the article that Mrs, Hume feit agitated, aggrieved, insulted. Now, I submit that this tmputes no fault of Mr. Prince. I do not see that, as represented in this artiele, he was to blame, but I am speaking now only of the representation made of him tn this publication, it being written without the information respectin, on his which has been given to Pe is conduct might bave been zed in different terms if the editor had been informed respectin; ito baprht sion ‘An insulted wife,” meant simply that Mrs. Hume felt “re thet wou! aid aie, that Prince teas ery ee asec Mer Or unjust! nde may vengeance, And bere again, the context exculpates Mr Prinee, for it oe on to show thathe did not deserve anger, that he did not deserve wrath, ‘that be did not deserve punishment. And then come down to this « mi es an up to you and said with great contidence, “1 will prove it to you,” endeavoring by positiveness and loud hers ot tone to drive conviction into your ears And then be produces this alarming caption, which, I submit, was as harmless a statement o° | the case as there well could be. [tts merely a statement of a wife who felt wounded and ag: grieved, and of a husband who sought ven geance, and in seeking it made a fanny blunder; not any statement whatever that the vengeance was deserved by the intended victim. ‘The cap- tion is merely an io, or what follows, and if you cannot find in the genera! tenor and pur- port of the publication a libel upon this man, if you cannot tind imputed ts him even an impra- | dence of discourteous act, then you are not to | find it inthe caption, which is the mere sub- stance in brief of the article itset Now, if disposed, I might, instead of insisting | upon the innocent meaning of these worls, | have taken a technical objection to the gentie- | man’s argument. Where words admit of an in- nocent meaning in a publication which is al- | leged to bea libel, there is required an innuendo, but there is none in this case respecting the words in which counsel in argument rely. But | withont urging this upon you, I submit to you that, bearing in mind the kind feeiings of the | editor and this man Prince at the time of the publication; considering the good feeling on | each side, and also remembering the context of | the article, you, for hoth reasons, cannot say that this caption contains libelous matter. Now, there is only one other place somewhere inthe boy of the article, for which counsel claim a libelous meaning, and wh substance that Mr. Hume register e im on. That is what it means. [t does not nee had want. ge that Pri 1 unjust ¥ insulted € even rideness on his part, nut pruvlence, isjeharged. Anl when’ you to look at this tele, this inn construction of it is the om nbstance of the ar- and good feel to Prince, in And it would editors that halt a grammartans, er that ement upon at their elbows many have n attorneys and with dictionaries and law books, in « notone word which might by carping and cap- must as ious criti ism be construed as libelous atter, may by any possibility creep into a publication For such would be the result of the principle of construction connsel for the plaintiff are seek- ing to maintain here, and [do not believe that you will allow it to be established. ‘There isone other matter on which counsel relied, gentlemen, and which I had forgotten. When the publication was read you smiled; a1 Gen. Carrington says that was because of the ibelons meaning in the article. Now, if it was uch a grave libel npon this ‘poor, injured mer- chant and mechanic,” if you found it h viding him ap to scorn and contempt, you would have had some other feeling than that of humor and of fan. But this smile was not at him. It was merely a xindly smile at the blunder of Mr. Hume; at the contrast between his angry carnestness and his ridiculons mistake. Now, how else does he try to help out his case? He undertakes to prove libel by experts, and by he indirect testimony of experts at that. He says, in effect, that may be you cannot tind th libelous mesuing in the article, and he cal ipon experts, one of whom ts Mr. Prince him- elt. is not competent. He is not to be made the judg a jury upon this subject,even if | ihelous meaning i be proved by experts, | which it never and never before was | attempted to be. It is for you to be the judges. And who is the other expert? The testimony of experts is given in the most remarkable man- ner.

And it I do not pursue the subject further, tt is because | have not the time, and because the facts are su‘fi- ciently significant. ww, in this article Prince is presented as doing nothing which a prodent and conrteous man might not do. That isthe light in which he is presented by The Star, with a very hand- some netice of his place of business. Wi did he actually do? Mrs. Hume, about Christmas time, went to his store, bought a pair of slip- pers, an', according to her b: and that of Mr. Hume's sister and another lady who accom- panied her, paid for them two five dollar bills— not @ ten dollar bill—and went away. Three months afterwards, in March, Mr. Prince— having no reason, according to the evidence of his wite, to charge this lady with passi ona. terfeit bill, and having no conhdence himself, ding to the testimony of Bennett, that slo bad done it—endeavors to collect that note from her. We need not search far for his motives. It Was nota conviction that the bill came trom her. [have no doubt it was for jast one reason, and the facts respecting his,conduct, which have appeared at this tr justify me in imputing @ motive to him. cause he thought he couid collect it from Mr. Home’s wite; that Mr. Hume was a prosperous man, and that he would not want to see his wife charged with anything of the sort. I think he did it be- 's conduct—there may have been another and that is the excuse given by his wife, had 1 beenonasproe.

Then procuration ot Prince aroun comes th constable again; again the threat of arrest o the lady, who kad done no suc Mr. Hume pays the mon ance And den comes the subseqaent condact ot Mr. Prince. Iwill not go into the details of his domestic life. We asked nothing about it. and it came out upon the withdrawal of an ob jection by the other side. Ido not even men- Uon what that testimony was. I close the vet! over that glimpse into bis domestic lite, ani into the character ot the man, too. And [dy that, not because [ think he is entitled to for- bearance at my hands, but because it is my personal preference to say nothing on such a subject. We have this man’s (Prince) conduct drawn here by himself and by the witnesses pursuant to a sitting, which he has, by bringing this ac: tion, furnished the public. And the Star to this day has not published the unfavorable aspects in which his character and conduct have been presented. It might have done so, as a public Journal giving the proceedings of a court. They ave let the veil fall over his c act, and it has only been presented to you, gentlemen of the jury, in a judicial proceeding, and to the vortion of the’ public who happen to come in ere. I leave these tacts without farther comment. ought, however, toallude to General Carring ton’s introduction of these parties to you. Mr Prince was introduced to you as a merchant and anechanic. And he repeated the we chant and mechanic a dozen times. If tists, stamper of initial ler garments ued to you @$ an artis ef you are merel: or mechan ‘rine is introduced as a merchant and m wnic. And again, our client was referre Fanlover again as an overgrown corpora 1. You know as well as Ido the purpose of b an intgeduction.

You know very well that there was no other motive under ihe sun tor dwelling on that over and over again. This man is pr sented herein the character of a model mer hant and mechanic. Now I want to ask you it he bears out the character very well? Those are very honorable occupations, for which allot us feel a great deal of respect.’ But if a man lives in a Community for twenty-tive years (th period the plaintiff says he has resided here,) living a life of sobriety, of industry, honesty, avoiding contention, avoiding ‘alse accus ne, avoiding speculative lawsuits, avoiding bringing his eredibility into disregard— avoiding many of che practices mentioned in the i in this case—what is the ont- rowth of itall? Is it this little chapter in the fire of a mode! merchant and mechanic that has been exhibited to you in this tr: No, it is 'y ditterent nature. A lite of this Kind for a quarter of a century sen roots dewn far and deep; it grapples as w Lookt of steel, the affections and the coatide of neighbors ‘and friends, and it grows up simple strength and dignity, becoming an obje of admiration and respect to ail bebolder-.

And yet counsel, by the same species and constrac- tion and argument which they have employed throughout this case, took this handsome com pliment and smeared it ai! over with their own iy ations, and converted it inte a dark cal- umny against the whole press of this District. I am tict here for this purpcse of general vindica. | tion. I propose to bring this case toa close. All L ask of you is simply that you will let out- side matters take care of theméelves and abide | heirown time; and, althongh you have heard | ot such matters already, and will hear of them again, that you will just make up your mind: upon ‘the facts of this particular c#sa, and will ice between the two parties who are now 5 present matter.

But if theso subsequent papers show anything, they show subsequent resentment, which is a very different thing from previous. xpress and actnal malice; and here I will leave that part of the discussion. In relation to the second publication, made | the day after the alleged libel, and relied upon | 24 45 constituting an accord and satiL ny arrington satd it was a reiteration or the old calumny, and that it was not a denia! You will remember how he dwelt upon the word mysterious; how he hissed it ont as though it were a word of the most pregnant meaning, when reading this article headed with five P’s. It merely relates to those mysterious initials which we all remember to have seen pasted about town, and which I believe was only an advertisement of Mr. Prince, the pawnbroker. (The article was here read by Mr. Stanton.j I say this second article was merely a reter- ence to the former one for the purpose Saree the plaintifi’s denial. The former one conid not be denied without refering to it. It isa part of this acute and absurd eriticism—part of this distortion and ex tion by which they seek to cke out thetr m! ble case, to say that repetition was a malicious, deliberate, un justi tiable, wanton, and wicked repetition ot the origival calumny. tis a mere reterence for the purpose of giving deniai and nothing more. ‘hen follows the denial which both Prince, the stamper, desired regarding the kleptomania, and Prince, the pawnbroker, desired regard ing the compromise tor ‘a drink. And there that denial is. No names were given and very wisely, because thua there was no disclosure of Uke identity of the parties fo those who already did not know it. I do not believe one reater of the Star puzzled his head about this matter, although there may have been some dozen or more of people who heard the original rumor on the streets, and thus identitied the parties. Yet Geu. Carrington said that the heads of old and young were filled with 1’ ie. Ile says even the college-mates of were puzzling their heads about it. If th were [think they had much better have be. attending to their lessons. Ha would ha believe that the 150,000 inbabitants of this D trict bought extra copies of the Star on account of the publication, ‘There is no acorn in the first article. and in the second there is no reit- eration; there is no repetition of what the gen- tleman calls the old scandal. The thing isa denial,and is put in playful and good humored language, and I assert without any apprehen- sion of doubt in your mind that if not satisfac- tory to him, it'was at least alithat Prince, the stamper, asked, and it was cer- any. furnished pursuant to agreement. nd in re this agreement, I will uot argue the question of comparative credibility between Mr. Ni Mr. Prince, or between Mr. Prince and any one else. The case here stands upon the testimony of seven gentlemen and a lady, as 0; contradicted all of these witnesses, and where there is a differenceof this kind between et and one itisa eye al an the statement of the one. There must be on General Carrington; and that isa great com- pliment, because you all know with what ditti- lence he hides his light under a bushel. An‘! here I leave bis remarks concerning the arro- gance of this corporation. And we have been charged with the enormity Oi insulting the dead. Gen. Carrington is here representing Mr. Prince, and not Mr. Charie~ Wallach, and I do not knew that Mr. Wallach’s personal friends or relatives would feel under any obligations to Gen. Carrington for dragging Mr. Wailach’s name into his argument. Mr. Wallach did not see tit to bring the case to trial. The thing rested for over a year, and I do not, for my part, believe that it Mr. Wallach had lived he would ever have brought it to trial. But the only mention of Mr. Wallach has been by Prince. “If the ashes of the dead have been disturbed by any hand, it is by the hand or Prince. Gen, Carrington, too, says that he has been insulted, in ut he has been charged with urging before you a speculative lawsuit. We have not made that charge. Here again, if Mr. Carringten’s name and fame, which are both eminent, have been blown upon, the breath that has blown upon them is that of his client. The only testimony respecting Mr. Carrington ad- duced at this trial is the statement of Prince the plaintifY to Prince the pawnbroker. 1 think you believe that statement was made. ‘Prince, the stamper, may have told the truth about bis counsel, and may not. I do not care for the purpotes of this case wluther he has not. Bnt if Mr. Carrington wants to wreak vengeance’ on the man who has siandered him, his Client's tongue fs the tongue that has done it, if he was slandered. There is a another thing about this speculative law-suit- ntlemen, A very short time after Prince the roker bad testified about this conversation, Mr. Prince, the stamper, was called on the stand, and be proceeded—not having sufficiently contradicted five or six witnesses theretofure—to contradict them over was he asked whether ‘ain.

Finally the storm subsided; and then we had readings from tatutes at large and other interesting literary matter. Then camea sermon, and afterwards a bible class. And bow sweetly, gentlemen, did ariington’s argument, that when Mr. Uar- ringten wept nobody wept with him, “he dit all the weeping himself.” Now, when Mr. Riddle laughed nobody laughed wih him, he enjoyed all the fun himself.

Coming to the defence, he said, the first at- tempt was to make game of General Carring- ton’s argument. The next attack was to insin- uate that counsel had undertaken this case prompted by s rdid motives—that they would not bave turned a wheel except they expected pay.
