It Is not denied that Mr. White was dep uty clerk, and it was as such that be acted, and the advertisement so states. There is not the faintest inti mation that it was done after he had become a member of the Episcopal Church, much leas after he had be come a minister in that Church, and much less after he had become a Bishop. In fact the offensive; adver tisement says i distinctly that ' Mr. White "teas subsequently ordained and became a Bishop." We would not have used the paragraph as the, advertisers did, but we cannot see that it is "libellous," for there is no attempt to conceal or mistate the fact concerning Mr. White, who; after' wards entered j the ministry, j j We have said so much because the impression may be made by the Mes. senger, from the way it pats its case j that the StasJ adopted the' offensive paragraph as its own.
