The Nevada journal., 1851-12-25
From the Times and Transcript.
TO THE PUBLIC

and the Company at the Jenny Lind
Theatre, Nevada, | feel it my duty at
last to reply, and explain to the public,
the cause of the articles in the Nevada
Journal. This editor, (for man cannot
call him, being O smooth faced boy,
which hope will excuse his youthful
toliy)-this upstart editor of the petty
journal would not follow either my copy
of bills, or my direc items as to the prints
ing, but executed them in such an un-
workmanlike manner, either from want
of type or brains, or the will to oblige,
that in justice to the proprietor and my,
self, was forced to send the job to the
Times and Transcript, Of Sacramento
City, knowing that they would be there
we'll executed. | also beg leave to state
to the public, that previous to the bills
arriving from the city this youthful Sar-
geant called on me and stated that he
had written splendid article in praise
of myself, family MIR. King and the
Company. Previous, however, to the
paper going to prese he had understood
We had sent our bills to be printed in
Sacramento, and stated that If we took
our printing away from his office, he
would inser, another article, and cut us
up, root and branch, and he has kept
his word. He has threatened also to
write sgainst US as long as we should
remain in California This explanation,
trust, will sufficiently satisfy the public
in regard to his ccwardly attack. That
we are acceptable to the audiences
here the overfowing houses, and our long
stay in this spirited little town of Neva-
dn is sufficient proof-as was also his
praise in the columns of his paper, pre-
vious to the withdrawal of our printing.
shall mo- further notice him, but by
silence and contempt.
Let Hercules himself do what he may,
The cat will NEW and dog have his day.
GEORGE CHAPMAN.
(San Francisco Iapers please copy)
The public of Nevada we'll know Mr.
Chapman as an actor-the above shows
him as man. The first is assumed
and if Objectionable, the fault pene-
trates no deeper than the brain the lat
ter indicates the heart We design to
show several palpable falsehoods in the
above, and rs the organ of the Jenny
Lind 10 at such distance, we give his
side of the story before replying to it.
Mr.. Chapman seems to have a great
contempt for "smooth-faced boys" and
'up-start editors If wisdom were only
known to exist in connection with a
hairy visage, we must resign any claim
to it, and the same rule would sadly
curtail the pretentions Of some Of the
editors of "the organ" But only one
who has very superficial mind and ex.
perienco would base his judgement Of
others on such grounds, Mr.. Chapman
will confer slight favor by restraining
the contempt he has for our youthful
ness.
The above letter does not "reply" to
any thing we have said, but makes false
assertions in relation to other things.
G. Chapman never gave us any directions
as to his printing, and not q soul in our
Office knew that he was dissatisfied or
that the printing was transferred to the
Transcript till after the first bills rers
posted ir this city, The statement to
the contrary is either q mistake or
falsehood. The copy banded in by the
company was frequently very imperfect,
and left much for inference. We pre-
sumo from the frequent errors in the
present printing, the same fault con-
tinues. The statement that the print.
ing was removed from our oi6oe because
of mal-executiOn cannot be elassed as a
mistake. The company found fault be-
cause they were not praised enough, and
said if they sent the printing to the
Transcript, Lawrence would give them
a long puff in every paper. MIR. Hutch
iAson found fault in that he had not
oace been noticed. Mr.. Chapman came
to the Office and complained, personally,
that in reference to o notice Of the com.
pany, We were net warm enough in
their praise. But he made NO complaint
of the printing. Before the subsequent
issue Of our paper, the bills came up
from Sacramento, with a long puff in
the Transcript. after seeing the bills,
We called on Mr.. Chapman, and told
him what We land every editor whose
interest docs not warp his judgment will

proceeded in no cowardly Or underhand-
ed manner, but tsld him eoolly and
fairly that all obligations on our part to
