I'VE heard and stated With pleasure that tbs manage

journal has always advocated day or since this

managers hold 10 their determination That they have
proprety well right their side must We think
be evident 10 all IL Is admitted by all that the
not directly connected with the press who
heretofore claimed and received free admission,
noying to audience and CEMENT but In addition ~
these the numbers Of those directly with
press ia greater than is supposed We ind upon exam
nation that there about forty papers In this city all
dseming themselves to have equal rights in this matter
To admit but ono from each of these, would be q tax
upon the unpurchssed seats which the management
would seriously feel and such offer would be publicly
We know this fro the expressed opinions Of some and
to admit more than one from each would be filling the
house in u very Improbable way
The opinions Of the great sority OF the-y
papers, would not reach the audience upon which tn.
managers depend and quenty would not be Of a

desirable to exclude all which Is iair ALL and can

We regret to see that some of our ooutsmporariss
from whom expected better thipgs, have been led
already into violent attacks upon this estabishmsnt
free list But in every the onimus Ii evident, the
motive palpabe; aud thus to their shame respectable
journals have justified the degrading imputatiop that
