merce. Nothing is gained by noticing
personal attacks which appear in the co.
lumns Of a newspaper, and The most fitting
punishment which can be meIed on 10 the
author Of such attacks is 10 treat them with
silent contempt:
During our connexion with The press
in this city, there has been all important
change in the public taste and opinion IN
respect - the manner in which editors
should treat each olher. When we be.
gan, we found ourselves violently attacked
on all sides. without having gwen any 9th.

public sasacity would comprehend The
whole matter. and that We might keep quiz
ct and feel secure. But We found the ease
quite otherwise. An impression had
somehow obtained currency that charge
was considered admitted unless il was de-
ed. There was also something Of an
impression that he who SAID the hardest
thing was The best fellow, especially il he
spoke last. We were, therefore, much
again>l our Mil, obliged IL take up the
cadgcis il a sort Of fancy fight, or else
submit 10 have plea Of guilty entered

say thai seven years have wrought a great
change in public sen,imen, around us. An
editor Of honest department may now, in
ordinary cases, fold his arms IN perfect UNI.

which then formed so large parl Of the
in,eres, Of The press, has no, only ceased
TO be applauded, but is hardly tolerated"

other can fail to meet the stern reprobaton of the
public. We cannot suppose that the late Secretary
of the Navy had any knowledge of the objects to
whichit was designed to apply the funds he paid out
for Mr.. DENLY; but he and the Administration with
which he was associated, are unquesonably open
to the impuaton of confding important public trusts
with too little caution to their political friends; for
we need hardly mention that Mr.. DENLY and Mr..
Osborne are both Democrats.
There is one remark which we cannot forbear to
make in view of this extraordinary business. Mr..
Osbornes total insolvency, if not his peculiar obliga
tons to Mr.. DENLY, was Of course known to the
leading men of business in this city many months
ago, and before the meeting of the Stockholders of
the James River and Kanawha Company in May
last. That there could have been combination OF
interests under such circumstances, strong enough
to make his election to the Presidency of that COM
pany not only possible, but almost inevitable, and
that, too, after the company's recent experience of
the misfortune of having an embarrassed President,
is unquestionably one of the slangest things that
ever occurred in Virginia
