ANONYMOUS Knaves.


It is rarely we notice anonymous scrlbblers
in another paper. who make us the individual
subject of animadversion We do not, be-
cause we al ways take it for granted in these
personal secret matters, that the writer knows
he is giving to the public that which is en-
tirely false, and which, though he may be
depraved rascal, he would be ashamed to
place his name under-Or that, telling the
truth, he is too much a coward TO support
that by his name, which secretly he can bold
ly put forth. In either case an anonymous
writer is alike entitled properly to nc consd-
GRAFTON.
We regard sold Vanderburgh, " who ap
Peared in Saturdays RepubEeanir a eoWa-
munication against the Library committee
and ougseil as both a knave and coward, and
therefore utterly uanoticeable in himself. =
| Yet seae Of his statements deserve denial.
which, If he will call upon US, we shall make
/ in person, with an accompanying opinion very
candidly expressed OF his own contemplate
ideas of some matters. The charge that
politics had anything tie do with our appoint
ment of County Librarian, the writer knew
as well as he knew his wnliheleus existence,
was entirely false. Messrs Hornbrook,
and Corbet and DIR. Walker, were This
committee. This is enough and we should
! like to see this fellow make t c charge with
his own name. Our bid was as low as an5
offered. We know this from the 4ae4, thai
1--WE offered to act as Librarian Ter the Iowesl
sum bid by any of the competitors. As fcl
the people preferging any other gentleman tc
ourself as Librarian, we utterly deny that the
writer knows anything about the matter
h And as for there being an apartment In Gv
ansvIllc better adapted te the purpose of {
: County Library room, tIran that in which th
L. brary will be placed, we also DENY, nor i
there one SO eligibiy situated.
There Is an advantage in this appointment
10 the public, which would not be realized b!
The appointment Of any other persen. TIL
Library instead Of being open at stated in
tervals, will be open all the time. And again
we are going to connect with it a public Read
ing Reom, an object that has long been prem
nent among our citizens,and which they hav
never yet been able to achieve. Ofthis W
shall speak fGrthe., and more particularly
hereafter. With this statement Of things, w
: leave this fellow.
1t may be proper TO state that we sha'
have to pay the whole am0ant received a
: our Librarian salary for the rent Of the Libra
Q ry room. But this at the same time pays th
q rent of the Reading Room, and that is tn
2 main object Of our taking This Library, Q
there are no other means of estab ishing
J public Reading Room at this time than by II
0 divdual effort
