Interesting to Newspaper Proprietors Boston. June 27. The Supreme Court the case or Chas. Cowley vs. R.

M. Pulsifer et proprietors of the Boston Herald, has given a decision of general interest to publishers of newspapers. A petition for the removal of Cowley irom membership ot the bar was riled in the clerk's office of the Supreme Court, and the same being publ ished tho Herald, Cowley began suit for libel. The case came up in the Superior Court and the presiding judge concurring in the views of the counsel tor the detenaanttnat as tne petition had been filed in court it was a privileged communication, ruled that the plaintiff could not maintain his action, and declared a verdict for the defendant. Cowley took exceptions to the Supreme Court which have been sus tained, ana that court noios tout it was not a privileged communication and to justify a verdict for the defendant it should have been shown that the charges in the petition against Cowley wore trua The full- court lays down the rule that newspapers in reporting cases actually on trial in any court are protected from libel suits, but they cannot set up privilege as a defense in libel suit after publishing an ex parte statement of a case taken from papers on file in the office of the clerk of a court.

It is also held that papers on file in the clerk's office are not open to the public Inspection, and that only the written record of the case disposed of is open to inspection. Mx Men Drowned. Somers Point, N. June 27. Nine Italians attempted to eross Carson's inlet during the storm yesterday.

JR. About Postal Cards. The mistakes That Are Hade In L'slne menu New York Sun. i "Postal card correspondents make a good -many mistakes. If they knew what a pile of cards are thrown away, and why they are thrown away, they would be more careful." said a Post- office clerk as he pitched a handful of postal cards into the waste nasket.

It is allowable to paste on the mailing side the address of the person to whom it is sent, but anvthin? pasted on the message side renders the cards unmailable. On the mailing side there must be nothing in the form of an advertisement." 'If pictures are drawn on the mes sage side will the card be sent?" 'Xea, unless the picture is of a character which would send the artist to Sing Sing. However, there is a great deal of complaint about dunning and abusive messages. It is popularly be- iiuveu tuat it is a viuiauuii ui tue law to send scurrilous epistles in this way, but it is not.

The belief is founded on Judge Benedict's decision, where $5,000 une was imposea several years ago. xne law is not now in force, and a man can abuse another to his heart's content "Can a postal card be returned "Correspondents often try to do that. but it is against the rules of the office. To make sure, they often stick on a one cent stamp. That won't work either.

If a two-ccnt stamp is put on, it will pass inspection. By putting on a one cent stamp, however, a postal card may be remailed to the person to whom it is addressed, if it does not find him in the first instance. One thing about postal cards ought to be known to poor people who have friends abroad. AVe have stacks of international postal cards unused that may be sent to almost any city in Great Britain or the Continent. Even in the few instances where they are used, they are apt to be sent to the country which issues This is not allowed.

If there is patriotism in business, here is a case for its exercise: Pratt is standing like a moral hero to his obligation to the State of Alabama, surrendering his entire property to save the State from loss so far as he is concerned, and all he asks of the people is to let him work out hisjobligation as Vincent's bondsman; and by buying his Gins you benefit yourself, and at the same time help a worthy man who is virtually, suffering for the people of Alabama. Even all things being equal, we would say buy a Pratt Gin, because it's an AlabamaGin, made by an Alabaniian, and is as good a Gin as 'anybody's Gin. AVe know whereof we Rpeak, because we have stood at the 'breast' and fed one of them many a day; and he now makes a far better Gin than the one we owned and used for years.

Then it was that the gentleman from Illinois broke into turgid eloquence, asking that he (McAdoo) should be marked as a violator of the integrity of the public Record. So far as the question of the Record was concerned, he believed that the gentleman himself (Cannon) had not delivered his tariff speecn, nor is it printed tne itecora. Mr. McAdoo said that in the Record of April 23d he found the following: "Mr. Cannon addressed the committee.

His remarks will appear hereafter." Did the Record lie? Mr. Cannon said that he would reply in his own time. Mr. McAdoo, continuing, said that if he bad as some gentlemen did instead, of printing such a fair thing as a newspaper article and giving the newspaper and date of publication, he might have asked the deluded soldiers what they thought of a grea Senator who, in his greed to absorb a territory which belongs to actual settlers, in the land which was made for independent freeholders and small farmers, went under cover of his brother-in-law to New Mexico and tried to pre-empt the most valuable land, and who was only "estopped by the public surveyor" who found that it bclongea to another class he professed great frienship for, and rumor even had it that he had Indian blood in his veins. He- was trying to steal from his own kith and kin hundreds and thou sands of acres, and was taking them from the unfortunate savages who were unable to protect themselves, until an honest Secretary of the Interior had di rected a survoy or to take pack the lands.

Lamar the' senate took np and read the third time and passed without amendment the! joint resolution providing for a settlement of accounts with the Mobile Ohio Railroad Company. It authorizes the At torney General and Secretary of Avar to adjust and finally settle the accounts of the United States with the road named for property received by that road from the United States in 1865-6. Mr. Butler gave notice that on Mon day he would ask for a vote on his resolution of inquiry into the condition of National Banks. Mr.

Dawes presented conference re port on invalid pension bill. The report was agreett to. un motion or jar. maaieDerger tne house bill authorizing the extension of the Chesapeake Ohio Rsiilfoad Company to the point of military lands at i orcress Monroe, was read the third time and passed. Mr.

uaie. irom tne committee on ap propriations, reported the general de- ucieuuy apprupriatiuii uiu witu auieuu-ments and gave notice that he would call it up to-morrow. The unfinished business was then laid before the senate, the bill being the bill providing for the forfeiture of unearned lands granted to the Atlantic Pacific Railroad Company. The bill declares lorfeitea all lands. excepting the right of way and lands for stations, heretofore granted the Atlantic Pacific Railroad Company wnicn are auiacent to ana coterminous with uncompleted portions of the main line of road; provides for resumption by the United States of the title of such lands, their restoration to the public do main ana tneir sumcction to disposal under the general laws of the United States as though the grant had never oeenmaue.

The Senate committee on public lands h.ad added to the bill a proviso which in effect fixes. the price of lands to set tlers atsa.50 an acre. Mr. Morgan spoke at some length in anvocacy of his amendment and while still holding the floor gave way for a uiuMuu to go mty evecutive Befoithe motion was entertained. howevei, Hawley said he had expected to say afew words respecting the great holding of land that we had allowed to grow in the AVest in the hands of both individuals and corporations, but he would forbear this evening.

There was one thing, however, he would say now. He found in the Congressional Record of to-day. and he invited the at tention of the Senators to it, a statement containing a catalogue of citizens of the United States holding enormous estates in the territories and various Statesi Among them he found the name of A. Logan'as holding 80,000 acres of land. "I can hardly mistake, continued Hawley, when I say that the object of a statement of that kind appears to be to the prejudice of a gentleman whose circumstances are such that he can hardly speak for himself, though abundantly qualified, as everybody knows, to "do so.

I beg leave, therefore, to say the gentleman referred to is not the owner of any such quantity of land in the territories or anywhere else. He had not the good or ill fortune to be the owner of the 80,000 acres referred to. Alluding to the same matter Mr. Logan said the statement is utterly false. I do not propose to c-ive a schedule of my property to anybody, but the proper ty uo own is in tne btateoi Illinois, i do own some two or three tracts of land, but all put together would not make the ono hundredth part of what thev chanre.

The senato discharged the committee on privileges and elections irom iuriner consideration of tho house bill on elec toral count and ordered the committee of conference on it. At 5:45 p. m. the senate went into ex ecutive session, ana on uemg re-openeu adjourned. Hoiiee.

MT. Hancock, of Texas, presented the conttrence on tho pension appropriation bill, and it wasagreed to. Mr. Turner, of Georgia, called up the election case ot 'Ihos. u.

Skinner, irom the second district of North Carolina. The question at issue is whether Skin ner was elected irom the proper dis propriation oin. xne report announces an agreement npon all items except upon Senate amendments striking but that portion of the bill which regulates the compensation to be paid to subsidised railroads for army transportation, Other sections of the bill as agreed upon appropriate $24,454,450, being 8210,000 more than was carried by the bill as it originally passed the House, There-port was agreed to.The disagreement to the amendment indicated was insisted upon, and Messrs. Forney, Towa-shend and Keifer were appointed, as conferees. Mr.

Henley, of California, made an unsuccessful attempt to secure consideration for the Northern Pacific forfeiture bill. The House at 12:30 went into committee of the whole (Cox, of New York, in the chair) on the. private At 1 o'clock the committee rose for the purpose of permitting the House to dig-, pose of the "backbone" railroad forfeiture bill. The Speaker announced the question to be the motion to reconsider the vote by which the House yesterday defeated t.hft "liftplrhAnfl" fnrfoit.nrn hlli The motion to table was agreed to yeas 124, nays 114. So the bill was lost.

The House then proceeded to the consideration of private business, and a number of relief bills were paused. The bill for tho relief of Willis IT. Arnold, of Tennessee, was recommitted to the committee on war claims, after an unsuccesslul attempt had been made by Taylor, of Tennessee, to have it aaopteu as a substitute lor the bill tor the relief of Hiram Johnson. Both of these measures have been before Con gress for many years, and grow out of a Confederate raid upon the town of Henderson, Tenn. Mr.

Valentine, of Nebraska, rising to a question of privilege, said that some uays ago, wnuo the House nau under consideration the bill for the establish ment of branch soldiers' home in one of the Avestern States, the gentleman from New Jersey (McAdoo), had obtained leave to print some remarks upon an amendment offered by him. He (Valentine and others present) had granted that leave. The gentleman's speech appeared in the Record of to-day, and-it was found that he had left the subject of soldiers' homes and discussed the subject of land-grabbers, or what is Known as the lima monopoly ot this country. He had taken occasion to print as part otms remarks a very long dispatch sent from this city to the New xork Star, on January Oth. It contained the names of some of our native land saying that the full list would fill every- page of the paper.

iu i i i i. tue uat ul uauies as iiuutvu iu tue Record to-dav appeared the name of Senator John A. Logan as owning acres of Senator Logan had called his (Valentine's) attention to this to-day, and had desired him to say to the House that so far as related to him the statement was absolutely false. The only land he, owned was a little homestead in Illinois. The gentleman from New Jersey had taken occasion while he was Jtauding the soldiers of the land to stab cine of the -brightest and most gallant of these (Loud applause on the Republican side.

The action of the gentleman from New Jersey was an abuse of the -privileges granted by the House. Mr. Bland, of Missouri, objected; that the question raised by the gentleman from Nebraska, was not one of privilege. The speaker said that it the gentle man from Nebraska had any proposition to submit, he would then decide whether it was a matter of privilege. The gentleman had not disclosed any thing which would have been out of order if spoken on the floor, Mr.

valentine thought that if the language complained of had been spoken in debate it would have been out of order. The Speaker suggested that the lan guage did not refer to Gen. Logan in nis senatorial capacity. Mr. Valententine It says Senator John A.

Logan. Mr. Cox. of -New York, did not think that anything in the shape of a question oi privilege was presented. He pieagea himself that if the gentleman from New Jersey found he had made an error in copying a statement in regard to Senator Logan he would correct it.

Mr. Randall hoped that the gentleman from Nebraska would be permitted to continue. He was advised that the gentleman from i ew Jersey was quite ready to meet him. Mr. Cannon, of Illinois said that the Record did not show that the gentleman from New Jersey had obtained leave to print and, therefore, tho Record on its face misled the House and country.

He claimed that it was his right to have the Record show that the gentleman did not stand in his place and make a newspaper article a part of his remarks. The gentleman had put in the Uecoru what ought not to have been put there, and had violated at least the rules of propriety and fair dealing. If the statement had been made in his (Cannon's) presence he would have controverted it because senator Logan owned no land except his homestead. Mr. Thompson, ot Kentucky it nas never been controverted in public prints.

Mr. Cox, of New York, in order to show, as he expressed it, how the gentleman on the other side attempted to strain at a gnat and swallow a menage rie or camels, quoted from tne speecn printed by Nr. Brewer, of New Jersey, upon the tariff, in which that gentleman made very lengthy extracts from Mr. Blaine's book, "Twenty Years in Congress." The speech, in fact, consisted almost wholly of extracts from that book. Mr.

O'Neil, of Missouri, -suggested that the title of the book should be amended by adding the words, "and tattooed at last." Mr. Cox said that he had trusted that Congress would adjourn without any partisan presidential discussion having arisen. The Democratic side of the house had not brought forward Blaine and Logan and had received enconiuins from the other side for its actions. Now gentlemen on the other side were forcing a political debate. Air.

cannon ottered a resolution that Record of June 27th be so amended as to that a speech purporting to have been delivered by Mr. McAdoo, in whieli reierencc is made to Senator ,1. A. Logan, was not actually delivered, but was printed in the Record of the th ol une. Mr.

McAdoo said lie would let the country judge ot the question of personal honor between himself and the gentleman from lllinois. Cannon. He explained the circumstances which led to his obtaining leave to print it, and ho desired to say that he did not aetraet a worn ot mat speecn. He accepted the authorship of it in its entirety. He did not consider lor one moment that he had violated anv rule of courtesy, any rule of equity or any rule ot manliness in its publication.

He had incorporated in his speech a newspaper article without comment. That article had been published last January, and had been copied from Maine to California. There had not on the subject of tariff, holding that a grant to Congress by the constitution to levy and collect import duties was intended to raise revenue, and for-' bids the opposing policy of the liepub- licau party, of fostering one branch of industry to the, detriment of another, and promotion' of the interests of some persons to the injury of other portions of our common AVe demand a material reduction of the present excessive tariff duties, and such revision-of laws in passing them as will equalize the burdens and benefits derived trom their levy and collection, and that no more revenue be collected than is necessary for wise and economical administration of government. Sections 3 and 4 hold that there can be no conflict between Federal and State governments in exeroise of their legitimate functions, and declared that the Democracy is unalterably opposed to an 1 assumption of power Hpon the part of either without constitutional warrant, for which reason we condemn the tendency of the Republican party to tralize all power in Federal government. AVe utterly repudiate and denounce as most dangerous to the liberties of the people, that heresy which is the animating principle of the Republican party that "the party is the government," and believe administration of government is a trust to be executed impartially for the benefit of all classes, ranks, and conditions of society.
