885 - H Feb. 19:2/1 - In a letter to the editor, "Granite" says: "It was highly gratifying to see the turn out at Prof. St. John's lecture last eve- ning. It was a regular jam .... Either our citizens are becoming more interested in these able and instructive Lectures, or the 'almighty dollar' deterred many from attendance upon the first course, who, now that the admittance is 'free,' rush to the Lectures, and 'with greedy ears devour up' the discourse of the lecturer. If the last is the true reason, what a humiliating commentary upon Cleveland liberality."
Ladies should look to their politeness by being prompt in attendance and not interrupt the meetings, much to the disgust of the punctual gen- tlemen,
(4)
886 - H Feb. 20:3/3 - In a letter to the editor, Leumas says: As you are presumed to know everything, will you be so kind as to state to Mon- sieur "Granite" one or two simple reasons why ladies, on entering a lec- ture room a little too late, insist upon having a seat, instead of stand- ing all the evening.
The first reason, no doubt, results from the extreme kindness of the ladies towards the gentlemen, as it is presumed that gentlemen would be very uncomfortable sitting while ladies were standing.
"Though it is expected that Gentlemen, will be sometimes 'thus rudely dislodged, ' 'Granite' is not expected to arise."
And though it may seem hard to disturb a gentleman who by his commend- able promptness has secured a good seat, yet allowance should be made for the additional time required by ladies to prepare for an evening lec- ture; and as the room is free, and all cannot be seated, it should not be considered rudeness if the ladies claim the precedence. (2)
887 - H Feb. 21:2/2 . In a letter to the editor, "Sixpence" says: As "Gran- ite" and "Leumas" are upon a subject on which opinions differ, I will throw mine into the common stock. "Granite" says that a "preference should be given to ladies, of course, but they by all means should be on hand in sea- son"; and very properly and pertinently asks the question . "Is it true po- liteness thus to disturb an audience of four hundred, and compel some gen- tleman, who, by his promptness, has secured a good seat, to abandon it?"
"Let all who intend being present at a lecture, be promptly at the place at the hour appointed, and any gentleman will cheerfully give place to a lady, if he can consistently with his duties to others." (12)

888 - H Feb. 21; ed:2/1 . "Granite's" brief communication, a few days since, opened a question very similar to most others, in the fact that it has two sides; as appears by the eagerness of knights of the quill to discuss it.
"Sixpence" today is rather "sharp set" and tells some truths in very plain language. "Those who need reproof may profit by it, and those who do not need it can dodge the application ....
"We rejoice that even free Lectures cause a pressure in Lecture-rooms ... Our whole people will learn the value of this excellent method of acquir- ing knowledge, and a public taste may be created that will permit no oc- casion for a repetition of the strictures of 'Granite' and 'Sixpence' in regard to want of liberality in sustaining Lectures on the Arts and Sciences." (5)
889 - H Feb. 22:3/1 - Prof. St. John will deliver his sixth and last lecture in the Baptist Church, on Monday evening, in which he will touch upon the Geology of Ohio, but dwell principally on the harmony between Geology and Revelation.
The Professor having a mind and heart thoroughly imbued with the spirit of Christianity, and being well versed in the science of Geology, will doubtless be able to reconcile the apparent discrepancies between the two, to the satisfaction of the most incredulous. We bespeak him a full house. (verbatim) (2)
890 - H Feb. 25; ed:3/1 - Professor St. John delivered his closing lec- ture last evening in the Baptist church before the largest audience we have ever seen assembled in our city.

Mr. G. Has been one of them, and he has not only cut loose from his former associates and practices, but he boldly exposes the "tricks of the profession," and leads the way in a reform much needed in most cities. His lectures in the eastern cities have been attended by thou- sands, of all classes, and are highly commended. (verbatim) (1)
895 - H July 19:2/1 - In a letter to the editor, "Reform" says: Although Green, the reformed gambler, did not exhibit very close knowledge of rhetoric and grammar in his talk here last night, his message must not be passed upon lightly. "I have been informed that he has done much good where he has lectured heretofore; and it is to be hoped he will exert a salutary influence in this city, for there are plenty of gamblers here. It is a proper time for the friends of reform to show that they are friends indeed, and to support Mr. Green in his laudable and praiseworthy undertaking."

time the custom of procuring gentlemen of talent and scientific achieve- ment to lecture upon various subjects. I suggest therefore that you or- ganize to sponsor weekly talks by prominent local men, and to this pur- pose a paper awaits you at M. C. Younglove's, which, when signed and ac- companied by a two dollar fee from each man, will entitle you to atten- dance at 12 such talks.
"Such is the proposition I offer to you, as promising you more return for your money than if you expend it as too many do, for things pertaining rather to the body than the mind."

902 - H Sept. 3; ed:2/1 - The plan for sponsoring weekly talks by prom- inent citizens, proposed by a correspondent, is worthy of the most favor- able attention by the young men of Cleveland.
"It is much to our discredit that we have no public Reading Room or Library Association; but much of the disadvantage of the lack of these or similar institutions may be obviated by supporting good Lectures on useful and scientific subjects.
"The dull business season may by this means be rendered the most truly valuable of the year, and a taste be established for popular lectures that will measurably supersede the common inclination to indulge in ex- pensive gaieties and frivolous amusements."

The GAZETTE says: The New York TRUE SUN, in noticing the increase of Lawyers, in that city, says: "'There is no end to them, and we do not see how the great majority of them are to live. Their profession will not support them .... ' We hope our young friends, in city or country ere they settle down upon a plan of life, while captivated with the seeming eclat of professional success, will look to the crowded state of the bar, &c., and see if another plan would not be better for them every way."

LIBEL & SLANDER
928 - H July 25; ed: 3/1 . The Dayton JOURNAL announces that Judge Holt, who obtained a judgment against the editors of that paper, has been paid off. The judge, a real Hard, demanded specie, and got it in ten cent pieces. This second Cooper will probably use the dimes for buttons to keep safe his very valuable character in future. The Whig friends of the JOURNAL clubbed together and made up the purse within an hour after the verdict was rendered. (verbatim) (1)
929 - H Aug. 1; ed: 3/2 . A few days ago, says the Pittsburgh CHRONICLE, Judge Holt of Cleveland, victor in a libel suit, put the defendant, an editor, in a hole by demanding the $200 court award in specie. He got a bagful of dimes and will have small change for a year to come.
"You mistake the location, friend CHRONICLE, The Dimes were forked over at Dayton, Ohio."

930 - H Sept. 23; ed:3/1 . The trial of W. H. McCardle, late editor of the New Orleans TROPIC, on a charge of libel instituted by Clement De Neufbourg, terminated on Sept. 6. The libel consisted in McCardle's charging Neufbourg with inhuman treatment of a slave. The evidence presented by the former established the charge in all its enormity; thus McCardle, though not acquitted, was also not judged guilty of the libel.
"With such evidence as we have read on this trial, no jury can ever be found who will give a verdict for damages, either against Mr. McCardle, or any of the other editors who have been prosecuted for their expositions of this monstrous cruelty."

931 - H Dec. 31; ed:2/1 - The New York court for the correction of er- rors, the highest judicial tribunal of the state, has handed down a de. cision against J. F. Cooper, the novelist, who had endeavored to secure a judgment, under the unjust New York libel laws, against the widow of Col. William L. Stone.
"Just decision, and a deserved rebuke to the man not content with robbing the living by aid of the unjust law of libel as heretofore admin- istered in New York, but who thrusts his 'itching palm' into the coffers of the dead that he may clutch the 'widow's substance.' Who would take Cooper's name for Cooper's fame?"

... Redress of wrongs by law is quite superseded by the law of retalia- tion; and unhappily for the well-being of morals and good order in the land, the outrages are countenanced and engaged in very often by the in- fluential, respectable, and leading members of society.
