An article hea7ed"A Fast Editor" appear
ed in the Journal of Friday last which con.
tanned an innuendo of an infamous charac-
ter. The editors of the Journal having been
personally applied to, have informed the as
sociate editor Of this paper that the aliusion
referred to was not intended to apply to eth
er Mr.. DENLY or Mr.. Hall. The Journal

Certainly we will copy it, and with COM
ments gratis. The Enquirer would seek TO
convey the idea in the above perhaps, that
we had written an article containing "an in
uendo of an infamous character and the n
in exceeding great terror at note from the
mighty editor of that paper, had made pro-
per good apology, and thus saved ourselves
from sone terrible punishment. Now, we
don't know any other editor who has a APP
pier knack than the acting editor Of the En-.
quirer, in discovering infamous inuendos in
every article and paragraph relating TO HIM
self. Whether it is his console nee tells him
he salways deserving something of thekind
or that everything relating to him editorially
must assume some Infamous complexion, to
be appropriate, we do not know-but we do
know he has penchant for discovering some
horrible bugbear in everything written
against him. But to show our readers what
the "inuendo of an Infamous character" W as,
how perfectly terrible in its nature, and hor.
ribe in its possible influences on the person
al character OF the editor of the Enquirer,
we copy DIR. Denby's note to us:
Mr.. A. II. SANDERs.-Sir:-I notice in
your paper of this morning Saturday IN G
following sentence:
"There may be some, however, who are
not aware of the modus operandi of the in
iIiatory proceedings, and to those we drop a
word of warning not to allow themselves to
be b-b-b-bug- beared."
desire to know of you as a personal
matter, if this inuendo applies to me.
C. DENLY.
Mr.. Hall brought US this mysterious note,
and we confessed to about as much astonsh
ment as the present reader of it does, who
never heard the expression "bugbeared" be.
fore. We were compelled to get Mr.. Hall
who brought the note, to explain the ex.
preston to US, as the article was written BY
our associate, and we knew nothing Of it, OF
wherein the ha lay. After the explanation,
we saw through the horrible affair, and are
only sorry that the detestable conduct of a
date attache of the Enquirer in the editorial
department was SO very vulgar and obscene,
as to make an explanation of the express
sion complained Of entirely impossible in a
respectable paper. 1t may not be SO in the
columns Of the Enquirer. The paragraph
of course, alluded to this person. We repli
ed to Mr.. DENLY, that our associate would
no doubt be pleased to assume all RESPONSE
blity in the matter, as we had not written
the article, and knew nothing Of the alusion
until explained to US. The proper explana-
ton was obtained from our associate-t
mere explanation that the article was intend
ed as it was written. and that DIR. d. hal
no cause of offence in it, as he might have
known very well himself, had he possesse,
as much common sense as sensitiveness.
We will here say that we expect to give
during this campaign very fair cause for
good many demands frcm the editors OF the
Enquirer for personal explanations, SO long
at least as they may continue their infamou:
charges (nOt inuendoes) against the person,
or things they are combatting-and to save
oil trouble of writing out these demands
which in courtesy require written answers
we will take this occasion to state, that the
little individual whose name heads this PAPER
is personally responsible for ali that may a D
