C.) in 1i...•.1 IVe last week stated that it was probably hell knoWn to all the on ners of hemlock back along the line of the railroad that the Company had. entered into ‘ an, agreeinerit that hey would not transport hemlock hark, or that they would, by, the impwition of a high rate of 'freight, practiCallyprohibit the shipment of such bark or its extract over 'their road. We also stated that was adopted by the advice OrlEfehrj- Sher wood . " It is needlestb say that . theSe'charges are denied by the parties interested, and we pro pose to give them the full benefit of . those denials In the first •pla6e, the 'At tiers - of our large tanneries deny that they have en tered into any such agreement with tke Company. We are informed that the Pres ident of the Railroad Company says it is" a malicious lie;" 'but we don't understand whether this Greeleyish phrase is intended to cover the whole or only part of the charge. Mr. Sherwood and his friends also say it is " a lie," and they probably mean to cover the whole article - by that favorite express- lon. r • Webster defines Li l lie to be " a criminal falsehood; a falsehood uttered for the pur pose of deception; an intentional violation of truth." It must be admitted, in view of this dehnition, that the paper or the person guilty of telling lies; even jf they are not •• malicious" ones, deserves 6 lo be excluded from all decent society.' We are willing to stand or fall by that 'test now and at all times. Let us see, then, whether the AOt- TATon did lie when it made those charges. We did believe, on the testimony of men entitled to full credit, that the rßailroad -t - • CoMpany ha ch adopted a rule - 4* policy pm ticallv prohibiting the transportation of bark. Before that article was printed, we 'heard of several men ,who had been prevent -ed from shipping bark by titat rtile, one of fitern being a very large buyer!' :Since l it was published, we 114 e heard, a Other's. in. the same boat.
