cases having as high as ten different pa
pers week to write for. One of these
gentry boasted frequently of making so
week at his profession. Every little
affair which would not be worthy of
note in the States, is dressed up in bad
grammar and worse rhetoric, and sent
East to astonish the readers of metropoli-
tan journals. While these men, the most
ultra of partizans, are retained at their
posts by respectable journals, so long pri-
vate scandal and misrepresentation win
characterize eastern newspapers.
The present correspondent of the Chi
cagO Press, and the regular correspondent
of the \. Y. Tribune, seem disposed to
deal in facts. Of course we see many ar
tieles, even in the Tribune, to which we
would take exception; but, notwithstand-
ing all the hard things said by Mr.. Phil
lips against us, under false representations
made to him by malicious individuals,
and his apparent desire to push us aside,
we are willing to bear testimony to his
candor and apparent desire to tell the
truth. There are probably other journals
who have truthful correspondents, but they
are not those satellites which hover around
certain distinguished personages in Kan
sas, who write as they are bidden, and
whose correspondence is everywhere char
actertised by personal malice and detrac-
ton, or who magnify every incident into
gigantic importance
What follows is from the Chicago 7'l5-
tne. 1t is introduced at this point by a
pretended remark from Stanton, saving
"The federal laws must be obeyed, and
he had come to see that they are en-
/ forced +"
"The audience responded, That's right
we'll help you enforce them; they shall
have our cordial support And the en-.
actments of the Territorial (bogus) Legis.
