IMF RIGHTS OF JOURNALISM.
Judge Poland, one of the clearest and fairest
main& in the House of Representatives, has
given a definition of the legal rights and liabili
ties of the conductors of the public press,
- which does him and his committee much cre
dit, andlays down a principle, already recog
nized by all respectable journalists, but which
does not seem to be clearly understood by
public men generally.
Judge Poland says:
"The law upon this subject has kept pace
'with the advance of free principles in other
respects. A free press is the life of afree gov
ernment. The representatives of the people
are but their servants and agents, and it is of
the highest importance that the people have
means of information as to the conduct of their
representatives upon all matters of public con
cern. The public press is the only means of
making such information generally known to
-the people. It should, therefore, he allowed
the most unlimited freedom consistent with
individual rights and individual reputations.
In former times the publication of proceed
ings of judicial tribunals and parliamentary
boodles were not privileged if they reflected in
juriously upon private character ; but the law
is now settled that such reports are entirely
privileged, providing that they are fairly and
honestly reported. So all acts of public men
upon public matters are fair subjects of discus
sion and comment in the public press, subject
only to the condition that they are made bon
-estly arid npeu reitse nab) eThro ;rounds' — of belief
of their truth."
, .
Here is the true principle of newspaper
criticism upon the acts of public bodies and
.public men. The broadest liberty is cenceded,
subject to the single qualification that it is ex
ercised "honestly and upon reasonable grounds
of belief of the truth" of the statements which
may he made. And this qualification governs
the conduct of every really respectable
newspaper. In the legitimate competition of
a business which, while it is most permanent
in its influences, is essentiallyephemeral ii its
details, no amount of Minium sagacity, expe
rience, or vigilance can prevent the occasional
mis-statement of facts, or the occasional publi
cation of news which afterward proves to be
either untrue in itself, or unjust in its application.
The daily newspaper, after the utmost degree
of human foresight has teen exercised, must
still take the ever-remaining chance of error.
But if •it is guided by the principles enunciated
by Judge -Poland, and tells its dailystory and
makes--its daily criticism "honestly - and - upon
reasonable grounds of belief of its truth," no
public man has any right_to_find_fault.
And yet public men, in -all the grades -of
officeirom the constable to the Senator, do
find fault with the independent news a •er if
its criticism happens to include them within its
range. As a general rule they. applaud the
"independence" of the .newspaper, so long as
criticism falls upon other fields than their own.
When their own turn comes, the whole aspect
of the case changes, and the newspaper is bit
terly denounced.
To be sure, this-common fact does not alter
the. responsibility of thejournalist, but; unless
he is both honest of purpose and determined
of will, it drags him .down to the low level of
a time-serving sycophancy, and of course de
stroys his manhood and his influence among
men. To resist the pressure of public men
and public bodies ; to exercise, boldly and
honestly, the high functions of a just censor
ship, which Judge Poland so pertinently de
tends and encourages, in his excellent report,
sno easy task. No public man is ever guilty
in his own eyes. Men who are steeped to the
very eyelids in political rascality and corrup
tion are usually gifted with a peculiar immacu
lateness, themselves being the judges. Their
injured innocence rises in beautiful indignation,
when the public journal tears . down the cur
tain that - hides their wrong-doings from public
gaze;•• Friends who have fattened with them
at the public crib, and time-serving journals
that hope to fatten upon them in the future,
hasten to draw the veil again around them,
and to raise a Lue-and-ery against the journals
that have exposed their evil deeds. Newspapers
that dare to tell the truth, and to oppose them
selves lioneStly to bad men and measures, are
continually forced to look for their reward
simply in their .own consciousness of right
purposes, while newspapers that cringe and
fawn and crawl at the 'feet of men in power,
do not often fail to reap the substantial rewards
of public patronage.
But these facts do not affect the principle
which .Judge Poland lays down. The preSs
must be allowed large liberty, if it is to be of
any real use, in its influence upon public senti
ment. In exercising this liberty, it must not
be made the excuse for licentiousness. But it
is very largely the fault of public men and of
the public generally that so much American
journalism does run into the most unbounded
license. If public men would discriminate
more clearly between honest criticism and
blackmailing abuse; and if the general public
sentiment was not'so much in accord with that
low tone of journalism that lives upon mere
abuse of public men, and the most impudent
and indecent sensationalism, there would he a
far higher tone of wholesome criticism con
trolling the affairs of this whole country. Now,
public sentiinegt calm& be fully relied upon
in this particular. The New York Standard,
dleoussing this subject, yesterday, expresses
the opinion that " In a free country there can
be no such thing as the license of the press, for
when the journals become licentious they are
• q- no more influence than the croaking frogs
in the village pond." But the Standard can
not doubt that its neighbor, the Sun, with its
large circulation, exercises- a very, :large Ulu-
ence, despite the extraordinary license into
which it has run. The public, must take its
share of tills responsibility, for the newspaper
• cannot liVe; if 'the'people do - not, breathe into
it nostrils the breath ol life.
ISENA'IOII SUMNER'S CUBAN, BESOLUo
DONS.
. ,
• The ~Cuban resolutions ofibred in the crenate,
yesterday, by Mr. Sumner are, important chiefly
because they indicate the growth of public
sentiment toward conviction that. Cuba is inevi
tably lost to Spain. This opinion has been ex
pressed by leading newspiipers of Europe, and
by several prominent statesnien, among them
General Prim -himself, if - report speaks truly.
Mr. Sumner has alWays been opposed to any
interference in the Cuban quarrel by the United
Stati3s, • and any action that he : may see fit to
propose in- favor of tioS insurgents acquires
force, from.his hitherto conservative : position.
These resolutions are the expression of public
opinion which has advanced, as Mr. Sunnier
has, to a sincere desire that. the struggle in
Cuba shall end. The Senator abd'the mass
of intelligent Americans are still unfavoraye
to the _recognition of the belligerents ) and
to the commission of any act which will involve
us in trouble with Spain, or commit us finally
to the material support of either of the con
tending parties. The resolutions protest' with
absolute impartiality against the shocking
cruelties Nyhicli have disgraced alike the
Spaniards and the rebels; they express the
hatred of slavery which exists Nin the heart of
every true American, and call upon Spain to
abolish it at once and forever ; they declare
that the time has passed when European
nations can claim authority in American
colonies, and denounce the attempt of Spain to
maintain its rule in'Cuba by violence; and
finally, they announce that the people of the
United States *sympathize with Cubans in
their struggle for independence, and they ask
the Spanish
: people
. to admit the right, of the,
to,self-g,overnment.
The resolutions are weak in some points; for
instance : in the assertion that the day of Euro
kali - coionieslias Pissed. 'Not 'one orthe Eu
ropean potions holding territory upon this con
tinent will be likely to admit the truth of this
statement; and it must be declared entirely
untruthful while the people of Canada, Ja
maica, St. Thomas, Porto Rico and sundry
other couniries yield sincere And honest. alle
giance tootereign sovereigns. The n protest
against the barbarities of the Cuban war con
demns the rebels as well as the Spaniards. for
both parties have committed atrocities which
are disgraceful to people claiming to be civil
ized. The right of every nation to govern
itself may be a Divine gift, but, as a rule, this
right has always been vindicated upon the
battle-field. If the Cubans desire their inde- •
pendence they ought to fight for it, as we did
foi ours. So far there has been no eviderice
that the people of Cuba are united in their
desire to throw off the Spanish yoke. There
has been very little lioneSt fighting of any kind
since the war began. The contest has taken
the shape of guerrilla skirmishes, in which
strong parties attacked weak ones, and butch
ered women andJclilldren. ..?ind• it; is well
understood, moreover. that the only competent
soldiers in the Cuban army have been Ameri
cans, Without whose assistance the rebellion
would have ended long ago. -
But.Mr-Sumner's-strong point is his protest
against slavery. It is a fact that the Cubans
hegan their work by_emancipating the slaves.
It is also true that Spain has hesitated and
trifled with the subject, only, at last, to perpetu.
ate the accursed institution for a long term of
years. It is inevitable that we should give
much of our sympathy to the men who have
ted - in — ttri = • m actor auce wit i tie
demands of justice and civilization. Mr.
Summer's resolutions are opportune, because the
slavery question is now being discussed in the
Spanish Cortes, and such an expression of
opinion from a nation occupying such a
position as ours cannot fail to have an influence
for good. These resolutions, too, have more
weight, because, while they are weak in some
points, they are altogether• temperate, and it is
impossible that they should give offence to
Spain. They are so much better than the
policy of interference, and the brag and bun
combe of the rabid politicians who favor
recognition of the rebels at any cost, that we
hope they will be accepted by the Senate.
A CLERICAL CRITIC.
The opinion of Rev. Mr. Frothingham, of
New York-upon- any subject, is; not especially
valuable; but it Is perhaps worthy of comment
that he has been uttering some very remark
able sentiments concerning musicians. Ac
cording to a report now before us, Mr. Froth-
Ingham, in a discourse upon music, last
Sunday, took occasion to remark ,that musk_
cians, as a class, are "unreliable, regardless- of.
the restraint of moral law, sbiftless,iniprutletit,
and lacking in common sense," so that "even
while we love them v 0 regard
,them with a
kind of contempt." Men are so apt to judge
an entire class from their \estimate of a single
individual, that we fear 'Mr. Frothingbam's
acquaintance with musicians is limited to a
very few persons; and perhaps these are mem
bers of his own congregation.. Supposing these
melodic beings to belong to the fold-of Froth
ingbam, we can easily understand why they
Should exhibit the peculiar characteristics
observed in them by their beneficent shepherd;
and why they should have fallen so low that
even ho can regard them with contempt. Upon
one notable occasion; at least, Mr. Frothingham
proved himself to be entirely regardless of the
restraints of moral law, and he can hardly com
plain if his followers 'lmitate his
example faithfully. We admit that
these unfortunate beings also ap
pear to have an unusually diminutive quantity
of common sense; for men with an ordinary
amount of that useful article would not under
take to learn the precepts of religion and the
way to a felicitous hereafter from the instruc
tions of such a clergyman. But in their lack
of this quality, also, they resemble Frothing
ham ; for a man whO stands up in a pulpit and
expresses such sentiments as these, either has
not enough sense to occupy such a position, or
else he is deliberately false to the sacred trust
confided to him. We do not consider Mr..
Frothingbam at all competent to express an
honest or intelligent opinion-of-the-moral qual
ifications of any other individual. A minister
who can stand - by the bedside of a dying man
and marry him to a woman whose husband is
separated- from her by what is known to be a
sham divorce ; . who can offer up a prayer ask
ing the - Divine blessing upon his action; who
can afterwards defend his outrageous conduct
in cold blood, and who can declare, as it is re
ported Mr. Frothingham did declare, that . the
Saviour of the world is " only an idea," is not
-fit to sit in judgment en anybedy.

The Seiiate yesterday confirmed Mr. Aker
man as Attorney-General of the United States.,,
NO reason haS haen assigned eitherfor Mr.
Akerman's nomination or confirmation, and: it
may be set down as one of the most significant
proofs of President 'Grant's personal strength
and popularity that a Republican Senate should
-consent to - Put an = ex-rebel - A the head of the
Law Department of the country, without even
a divisirin.' Mr. - Alterman 'is said to be -a gobd

Everybody will be glad to 'learn that Mi.
Dickens's publishers announce that his un
finished novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood,
will be permitted •to remain incomplete. It
was announced that the task of bringing the
story to -a conclusion would be entrusted to
Mr. Wilkie Collins, who would use Mr.
Dickens's memoranda for the purpose. But it
is absolutely certain that Mr. Collins could not
have performed the task satisfactorily to the,
people ; and we have no doubt he would have
shrunk from undertaking it. The admirers of
Mr. Dickens will be better satisfied to obtain
from the published memoranda the outlines of
the story as 'Mr. Dickens- left them, and to
supply for themselves the conclusion• of the
story.
We published a' day or two ago a letter,
purporting to have been written by Vice Presi

know. limas clipped by.u.s. from the Cincinnati
Chronicle, in which it was credited to the De

simple act of justice to the aggrieved indi
vidual, and as a vindication of the. Vice Presi,
dent from the. charge of having shot at some
very small game in a highly undignified
manner.
On another page will be found an interest
ing letter from Jonathan RichardS, well known
in Philadelphia, as for many years the efficient
Steward of the Pennsylvania Hospital for the
Insane, and now connected with the Indian
Agencies established under the auspices of the
Society of. LFriends. 3.i.r,Ricliarils gives a - siin
ple narrative of the' every-day incidents of
prairie travel, and in his next letter will give
some account of the practical experience of the
Quaker agents among the Indians.
We call the attention of our readers to the
advertisement in another column of the new,
and short route from 'this — city 'to Niagara
Falls; - The construction of a railroad by the
North branch of the Susquehanna river from
Wilkesbarre to Waverly, in New York State,
furnishes a connection by which travelers
leaving this city in the morning can actually
reach Buffalo the same night rand after a com
fortable sleep, take the cars forragara Falls
at nine o'clock the next morning., This is the
quickest time ever made from this city, and
there is but one change of cars—at Waverly—
upon the entire route. The tourist has an op
portunity to enjoy the scenery of the North
Pennsylvania Railroad, the wilder scenery, of
the Lehigh Valley Railroad, including a mag
nificent view of the Wyoming Valley from
the top of the Mountain ; and besides this the
new railroad by the Susquehanna opens 'up a'
magnificent new country never before tilt •
versed by a railroad. At different points
upon this route also there are places which
will repay a visit. Persons who wish to take
a summer trip will find this route a very de
lightful one.

THE TAX BILL
FROM WASHINuTON.
.(By the American Press Astocatlon.]
The Revenue Department.
WAsnitioTox, June 24.—Tbe President hatt
informed a high official, at 4 well as several
Eenators, that he favored the bill making the ,
Revenue Bureau a distinct Department and
its Commissioner a'rnember of the Cabinet, for
reasons that the Com Missioner should have
continual and direct access to the' President,
and be one of the advising members of the Ad
ministration, as taxes and their collection now
form the prominent feature of our Govern
ment, and that while 'they contimied such;
Department was necessary. It is 'understood
that Secretary Bontwell is opposedto the bill,
but that the other, mei:fibers of the Cabinet
favor it.
ExpatkallonVlr Currency.
The rnembere Of the Conference -Committe,e
on the part of the Senate big will not consent
to the adoption of the Howe proposition .of
expanding the currency. The Finance Com
mittee, in considering the matter., were a unit
against expansion. -- - - -
Income Tax.,
It seems probable that the discussion on the
tax.and tariff bills in•the Senate will tax
income next week, but that the incoe tax will
be disposed of. The opiniow is prevalent An
the Senate that the income tax will be wholly
atiolished-in that body, although Messrs. Mor
ton, Sherman and others , are the strongest
men in favor of. Its continuance and will
strongly resist its abrogation. In case the
Senate abolisheitit, it is doubtful if the Hotise
- will consent to recede from its position.
Mr. Sherman's Amendment to the Tax
, •
.
~ , ~._ . ... • .....
Mr. Sherman lias prepared an amendment
to the tax - hilt - erenting 'the Coltimissinner_of
- liitiTfiliiifte - fe — nue a Cabinet ocer, and' mak
ing the bureau a separate department, thtis
obviating the necessity considering
Schenck 's bill reorganizing the bureau, which
stands little ellance. It is understood that the
President desires the passage of Sherman's
amendment. Some of Secretary Boutwell's
friends assert that he is unfavorable to its
adoption. -. .
Treasury Items.
The currency balance in the Treasury
amounts to $22,756,000. The coin balance is

NEW Y O RK, June 24.—The rival railways
announce a further 'reduction on first.class

.The
Pennsylvania - Central and Great Southern

A similar reduction on the same sliding
scale has been--agreed upon for through
tickets to other points west. One of the
Trunk lines—probably the Pennsylvania Cen
tral—is said to be.arranging time tabli. foran
extra -- speeial -- Chicago lightning train,. which
is expected to make thetrip from here it/shill
of twenty-four hours—twenty-nine hours - is
the quickest time made by any regular ex
presses. If the' feat be accomplished with
safety and reliability, the rate of speed per
hour will be about Fifty milezi. The general
passenger agent of the Southern Inland Rail
road along the southern seaboard, is said to
be arranging a passenger fare price list,which
will show an average decline of from $.3 to $4
on all throngh trip tickets to all prominent

Down, June 24.—The execution ofEdward ,
Durnell,`the "colored man, convicted-of the
murder of:. Thomas Hogan, a Philadelphia
pedlar, in March last, took place here today.
Hogan was on a visit to Delaware for the
purpose of buying, muskrat skins. ' He, sVa'slib

when his friends became alarmed at not h'dar

on the 19th. of March,,in a dam. on the road
from canterbury to - IFrederica, in - Kent

One of the 'men arrested for the, murder
made a confession as follows: Hogan had
nude some pnrchases of old metal, which he
traded in as well as muskrat skins, and otuthe
read from Canterbury_to_: - Frederica stopped:__.
at the house of an acquaintance for rest and

three inches long over the leftear ' which out °
entirely through the scalp ;, .one onthe back,of
the head_two and a half inches long, and, one
•overthe right'ear.
The surgeon who made the examination is of
the opinion that Hogan was not dead wh'en
he was thrown into the mill-pond. Previous
to'throwing the unfortunate man into the..
water, his; assailants stripped him of all his
