Camp of Montpelier and unaries fierce oi ueoniogiou. Hon Fran Qoaminti on tbe Libel Cue. From the Montpelier Watchman.J When in May the Richford Gazette pub lished specifications of certain atrocious of fences alleged to have been committed by Judge Royce, the matter of the whispered scandals with which his name had been connected assumed Buch a shape as to render It, in the view of the Watchman, Incumbent on the indire to make such answer as an inno cent man iealous of his personal and official honor would make, and we expressed the hope that a speedy and explicit denial would be forthcoming. The charges the Gssette published were first used two years ago, In an Insidious way, In the crusade BgainBt toe juage to aeiest uis re-eiecuoa. They appeared in the Gazette, formulated in mid tvne.

and were soread over the state on the eve of political canvass with the avowed purpose of bringing Judge Royce's alleged misconduct before the electors who would have his official fata In their keeolnff. Whatever a pri vate citizen might have done under the circumstances, he could hardly seek refuge I in silence. The charges in the Gazette were a cold, formal and relentless challenge. He could not honorably shelter himself behind the irresponsible character of the challenger. It was plain that the Gazette was the mouthpiece of an organised movement to overthrow him.

By dint of persistent repetition many candid men had begun to think the chanres mlirht be trne. The judge was placed In an anomalous position for a judicial officer and It was incumbent on him, for the honor of the bar, for the honor of the bench, for the honor of the state, to silence his inducers by exposing the false and unscrupulous character of their charges. The judge seems have taken this view of the matter. He made the oolv answer an Innocent and out raged man who Is a law-abiding eltlsen could make, ne nrougut nis ae-famer into court to answer to salt for libel, and to answer he- of to oi faUltv wf tbe charirs and to throw the odium of the dely opoa him, the state took tbe matter up, indicted the visible agent of what bore tne semoiancs oi a conspiracy ana Kromptly brought him to trial. It was a old movement, bat it was animated by the calm courage of conscious innocence, not by the audacity of blustering guilt.

A report this remarkable trial is given in another column of this paper. In its freedom from any taint of partisan prejudice the jury was an Ideal one. Oolr a few copies a com a aoxen, report says, tn tne Gazette are taken regularly tn Orleans county. The jurymen were intelligent, fair-minded farmers. They knew neither tbe re-apondent aor the judge, for defaming whom he was indicted, and they were unknowiog the character of the defamatory allega tions.

Tbev beard the evidence without any personal bias. The judge charged with strict impartiality and the result was a prompt and unequivocal vindication of the chief judge. The personal friends of Judge Royce, who needed no verdict of a iurv to acouit him of wrong doiog, will rejoice over tbe outcome the tnal, out ineee wnoso earn ror tne good name of the state was above any personal considerationo will exalt over a verdict that clears an a nauseous and dishonoring scandal which was an incubus upon the entire commonwealth. From the Montpelier Argus snd Patriot The accusation of the Gasette tended to the otter destruction of Judge Rovce not only a a judge, bat as a man, a husband, a lamer ana a granaiatner. i nut way nnoaia be disproved, If they were false, waa a duty which Judge Royce owed to the people of Vermont, who had elected him to his high place because they had confidence in him, and believed that he would worthily fill the seat which had beea honored by Samuel Prentiss, by Charles K.

Williams, by his uncle Stephen Royce, by Isaac F. Redfield, and by John Pterpoint an Illustrious succession of pore and noble jurists. To say that to dignify auch foal blenders by even noticing them mast have been a loathsome and disagreeable task, sufficiently explains the reason of his allowing them to go on so long without calling a halt! But Judge Royce appreciated that It waa not only to himself, bat to the state of Vermont, that tbe vindication was due; and at last he took legal measures for the punishment of the libeller. With singular magnanimity, he gave his accuser every advantage. He miffht nrooerlv have waited until tbe meeting of the legislature, and demanded a committee of investigation, when the harden would have beea out noon the per.

son making the charges to demonstrate them fully and squarely, and he would have been enabled to avail himself of anv lack of testi mony against him. Bat he chose the braver coarse. By our law the prosecution is hound to make oat tbe respondent's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, if tbe inrv feel any well- founded misgivings as to his guilt, they must acquit, him, al though the balance of proof may beagainBi him. Judge Boyee deliberately, and because he was conscious of Innocence, save Mr. Malonej these great advantages.

Ue took upon nimseif, in a county in wmcn neither he nor his accuser resided, away from all local Influences, to prove to the complete satisfaction of the people of Ver mont tnat ne was guiltless or tne cnarges so pertinaciously and vindictively made, and be did so. So thorough was his exculpation even before the completion of the trial, that tbe respondent himself and his leading coun sel acknowledged it by their behavior, and the iurv twelve as irood men as Orleans eoanty contains, reputable and independent eltlsens ret nrned a verdict or guilty with out debate. The people of Vermont of all parties and conditions rejoice at the verdict. Tne great omce of enter luage is not ae graded by the occupancy of an unworthy man. Tbe fair fame of tbe state is not be-: smirched.

The voice of slander Is silenced; and Judge Royce stands before the people of the Btate on the same lofty pedestal of purity ana nonor as nis great predecessors, who made our little state famous in every English speaking country for able and lm- Sartlal justice. By tbe conviction of M. J. alooey the blackest cloud which has ever bung over Vermont nas been aispeiiea. In conjunction with this trial the question of the dnttes and responsibilities of journalism naturally arises.

At the present time the press of this country is the greatest power witnin us Doners. oau man in the control of even a newspaper of small cir culation can do incalulable evil, and ninety- nine times oat of a hundred he will escape punishment. A conscientious and high-minded journalist has a task always weighing on him, which la very Imperfectly understood by the public No one but a journalist knows of the contrivances and device by which malicious persons seek to use a newspaper lor nis own enas, nn eaitor who strives to do his duty wishes to praise good and rebuke evil but the trouble la to ascertain what Is evil and what is good. A large share of his time and his energies must be spent in investi gation, In order that he may spread before tne panne tne tratn as near as possioie. And do tbe best he can he is often deceived.

Jodee Royce's testimonv makes it plain that If Maloney, after first receiving tne stories, had gone to him, as man to man, and asked for an explanation, he must have been satisfied of their falsity. That he did not resort to this simple and indispensable coarse, proves that he is a disgrace to his profession and deserves the se verest punishment. Such a man should be treated as an outlaw by the community. whether he Is prosecuted In tbe courts or not. lie is not nt to associate with bis lei-low-men.

He should be driven out of socie ty as remorselessly as oar ancestors drove away tne pantner ana tne catamount, mey only attempted to destroy human life. He and his abettors have endeavored to destroy an innocent man'tj reputation, which 1b of far more value than life: and woree.
