A dispatch from Norfolk, Va., says: The American Book company of New York has just gained a signal victory in the courts of Virginia and has received an absolute and complete vindication after along and exhaustive trial by special jury in the Circuit court of this city. The Pilot newspaper of this city, upon the awarding of the contract for school books to the American Book company, a long article written and preparedprinted by R. E. Byrd, an agent and attorney for Gian & Co., of New York, ip which it was charged that the state superintendent had been bribed by the American Booty company. The Pilot was immediately sued for libel, and, after a five 'weeks trial, which created an of interest throughout the state, a verdict for punitive damages was recently awarded, and the. jury found that the statements made were false and a deliberate libel. Not only so, but the company, upon unimf eachable evidence, was proved to have dealt honorably and upin every particular in their negotiarightly tions writh the state officials. It was further proved at the trial that no better terms had been made with any other state for school books. In fact, the attorney-genera- l of Virginia stated that the American Book company seemeddo throw open their whole business to us, and after full and complete examination of all the original contracts made with the various states he expressed himself as absolutely satisfied that the prices .were the same in all cases and that no discrimination whatever had been made the state of Virginia. Furthermore against he mentioned that none of the statements of the American Book company had been accepted until every one of them had been, absolutely verified by direct reference to the governors of some fifteen states, with whom contracts had been made. This proved conclusively that the representations of the American Book company were correct in toto. This celebrated case has thus ended in a complete triumph in every respect for the American Book company, and has shown in clear contrast the clean and business-lik- e methods in w hieh they carry on their great industry as compared with the attempted use of, political pulls and Chimisstatemeuts by their opponents.
