offer a reward of FIVE thousand dollars ia

found conviction that the regular author
tiles of tie city and State cannot be relied
on for such actions as the interest of

the public press will in this instance, as in
many others, be found the truest represen.
tative and most faithful guardian of the
public welfare.
