The Indianola Bulletin and the Gonzales
Inquirer.

ou' 'SsPcS'co uho LISniy esteemed cotcm-
porary Of lndianola, in his paper Of the 2sd
ult, takes MS 10 task ON the score of publish
ing ruinors, and gives us divers and sun,!ry
admonitions not TO spread before the public
untoundcd and injurious reports, and goes on
to refer to two or three small items which We
published as We received them, mere l.carsay,
one Of which We stated at the time that we
did not vouch for liz authenticity. We were
not aware tfat 10y so doing we should call
down upon our devoted head such mingled
torrent of reproof and counsel. We perfectly
appreciate the motives of our respected friend
| OF the Bulletin, but think that the articles
which he mentions MS "iniurious reports"
were scarcely worth the trouble hc has taken
with them, and since he has mentioned the
subject, VIC think VIC can show that we are
more sinncd against than SHINING" We ac-
knowledge TO n little imprudcncc with regard
to the yellow fever in Galveston but we
thought any one of moderate intelligence,
could comprehend that nm Editor should not
bc held responsible for statement he neither
makes himself nor vouchcS for
Our friend Should have taken into consider
alton the fact, that NIL Editors arc not so favor
ably situated as hc is. lie enjoys facilities for
obtaining direct and reliable information of
which few others of the fraternity can boast
Under the present mail arrangements we are
subjected TO 80 many failures and delays, that
our exchanges not unircqucntly reach us II
week after they are due ana sometimes not at
4 NIL Even <nlnnlI. A
which we always read with intense Interest,
is generally from one TO two weeks behind its
time, Notwithstanding there is direct tri-wcck-
~ Stage line plying between Indianola and
Gonzales. Now, we ask, would il not have
been more charitable on your part, friend, to
have iilIed that column of your paper, which
you devoted to our humble sell, with an article
setting forth the abuses and impositons whicl,
yonr subscribers, and tho citizens generally
IN Western Texas, are subjected TO, from the
irregularity OF the mails! Your Journal circu
latcs far and near, and wiclds an influence al
most uncqnallcd by any other paper in the
State, and an article upon this subject, from
your ever ready pen might possibly hav,
produced the desired effect.
So much for the yellow fever in Galveston.
Let us turn now to the next "unioundcd and
Injurious report" concerning the resignatio,
OF our District Attorney. Thy Editor says:
last week the Inquirer announced ri.
NOR that MIR. Glass, of Victoria had resigned
the office of District Attorney, and gave the
names of some half dozen lawyers said to bc
candidates !or the vacancy; when in fact Mr..
| (,lnSS huR M il,n nc
Pray, friend, how did that fact reach YOU Y
You seem very positive about il, and speak as
though you were in possession of documents
which would prove that Mr.. Glass really chad
and ardor manifested in your article that the
"prcss of the country should pay no attention
TO idle rumors,' but to rely upon statements
Thich you tooWld make as II under oatA, we
can show that in this instance, you have "lcnt
too ready an assent - unfoundcd and injurious
rumors." Yes, friend "out of thine own
mouth will we condemn thee" We have in
OUR possession the documonts--a letter from
Mr. Glass hin,sclf--in which you will perceive
that Inc not only has an idea of rcsigning,
but also gives the names of the half dozen
lawyers" which we mentioned us candidates
FOR the Office, The letter Is addressed TO gen.
tclnnn OF orr town, and We suhioin couple OF
extracts, Here they are;
al had
no, resigned, but would, so soon as | could ca
to Austin, Which would hp in the Fall ur Win
ter. | Still adhere to Tint determination"
~ understand that Williams, of Dewitt,
Mitchell, of this lNiotorial county, and VIII.
hanson, ot l4svaca, are oortainly out, and there
may tee others
There, friend, wen let YOU fall easy. Mr.,
Glass is, we think, sufficiently cxplici, rs to
his future intcntjonS and rs to the mere re.
port we Published concerning hjs resignation,
we think il Is pretty we'll sustained
