"A Citizen" published in the Journal of the
Goth, on the subject OF the issues of circu-
lating medium by the "Indiana State Min.
ing and Manufacturing Company" and "Co-
nsnts Coal Banks" brought no charges
against any one, abused no one. eliminated
no person whomsoever. It merely stated
the existence Of certain facts of great pub.
lie interest to this community, and named
certain names in connection with these facts.
1t expressed no opinion in relation to the
character of either institutions or individu.
ais named, and did not even 60 30 faras to

I have nothing to do. 1 have noticed this
morning an editorial in the Evansville En-.
quirer, which identifies the editor of that
paper with the"J B. Hall" on the bills Of
