A BOLD LIAKs-rha editor ofihe T'4.
1egraph, in times past, has shown such an
unprincipled bitterness towards bis. PoIiii-
cal opponents, aud has SO frequently yiolat-
ed that holy commandment which says
.phou shalt not bear fulse-wItness against
thy ~neIghbar, /" that we shouldn't wonder,
that ere this, his corrupt heart had become
completely cssiaed andtasdead to every
principle Of Truth, Right and Justice, as the
most d~epraged criminalthat ever grucedth
1gqtows. In speaking Of our article about
he Amanda mail, In his issue Of to-day. he
says: a -,
Itwss the FIRST occasion Of any cause
of complaint.n We.
Now we uhhesitatiagly pronounce the
above assertion a LIE and the man who gave
utterance to ii a LIAR! As there is but
one ,oay to reach such men as control the
Editorial department Of the Telegraph, we
ask its editor, as an act of JUSTfCE. to go
before the proper authorities and be QUAIL
lied that the above assertion, which we
clip from his paper Of to-day,is TRUE
Dare be de ill Ifnot leta LIARS MA
MY brand him as one unworthy Of belief 1
To add, If possible, to his moral turpitude,
he further says:
"The grounds of the charges against the.

REPRESENTED the matter, through ig-

viii the editor Of the Telegraph have the
fmanliness to come forward and tell us When,
and BIZ iohom, we we're better ihformed!-
We ask him to do 1t. Fromthe time our
article was written, until to-day about u
clock, we never heard one wordi from any
reliable source, in regardto the inaccuracy
Of our statement. To-day shout 70 o'clock
M. TUrHILL, the p. Nj in this city, came
to US and in a very gentlemlnly
explained, as far as he knew how, the
origin Of the difficulty. Although his ex-
PLANTATION was not altogether satisfactory,
yet IT left upon our mind the impression
that Mr.. TUrHIL is a gentleman, and that
he has done everything in his power to fer
ret out and soivethe mystery.
THE PUBLc WoRks--IscREAsE OF CANAL
[ToLLs.-The Circlevae Watchman in THE
annexed paragraph, notices the prosperity
OF our canals, and pays a deserved tribute
to DR.. GRIswoLD, cur candidate for the
Canal Board, who since his appointment by
Governor WonD, has done much to COM
mend himselfto popular confidence. ~ Cam

sInlooking over the table Of receipts of
Canal Tolls, we notice a large increase Of
receipts this season over those Of last, not
outstanding the reduction in tolls. For
Instance the receipts ofthe second quarter,
ending May Is, 1853, exceed those Of the
same quarter for the previous year nearly
eighteen hundred dollars, which speaks high
praise far those who have the management
Of the Public Works in their hands. If we
are led toljudge. from the many favorable
opinions we have received from abroad, not
a ,little life and energy has been instilied
into the business along the line by our can
.didate for the tDoard.of Public Works, DIR.
Griswold, who was appointed TO fill the va
cancy accustomed by the resignation Of Mr..
Manypenny, 4
w wonder IL the editor Of the Wdtchman
knew, when he was p%enning the above,
that he was ce mpfmenting Mr.. Griswold at
the expense Of Mr.. Manypepny's reputation
as faithful public servant, Only to think,
that notwithstanding the reduction in tolls"
the receipts Of THE second quarter, ending
May 10, 1858, exceed those Of the same
quarter for the previous year nearly. eighteen
hundred dollars. If this amt a pretty ac-
neutrality-suspicious. rascallity of MIR. Many
penny, we confess ourselves ignorant of
the construction of words. Perhaps the
Eagle or Telegraph can explain the matter.
What say you, gentlemen? What says the
editor ofthe Watchmaat A little more Gin
formation is required on the subject.
G-A singular case of conscience has ex-
cited much attention in st. Louis within a
few days. A Dr.. BoerDstein, Editor of
the Angeiber deS WeStenS. refused to give tes-
timong before the Grand Jury under a gem
eral oath, but insisted upon being first in
formed of the particular case to which the
questions were to relate, and being sworn
separately on each case. This with him
was a matter OF conscience, his fear being
that he might become guilty Of perjury by
answering in~accuratcly an extended and
miscellaneous series of queries; or rather
as seems to have been generally under
stood, that he might become the instrument
of bringing certain law defyiRg dealers to
justice. Judge Colt, before whom he was
brought for contumacy, sustained his extra
