Unexplained, they leave Mr. Marston ami hia timi lu a positiou which he obviously think* uuplsa&aut; an opinion In which ho has the concnrrence ol others. I havo even refrained throughout this con* troveny from ascribing to Mr. Marston any con scioa-me-ts of wrong. The conscience of an English publisher In his transactions with English authors is a thing I am no moro disposed to probe than I am to probe the consclsncs of an American publisher ia his transactions with an English author. Mr. Mars? ton, whom I do not know persoually.is to me merely one of tho members of ii linn whose conduct happens to he in question, Aud tho man who tint started the correspondence out of which the questions have grown is prueisoly tho Mr. Clark Russell ou whose friendship Mr. aMartdon is disposed to lean for his vitiiiicition. If Mr. Kusvl! had BOi made an attack i-n MessrsHsrper whieh pro voodoo faras ho was cou onrned, un warrantable, tho world might never luivo known that the American ?onay which MY.
