To this and TO language still more personal and spe-
cic the Statesman replies first, by the notification OF
trial for libel in these words
1.-The Evening Journal having made the ehaIs OF ON
cia corruption in the matter OF the Ayerii Ore-bed
purchase in terms sufficiently specific, we presume the
editor will have opportunity through an official IN
| vestigation TO prove it,
And next by reply that is evidently in its terms and
purpose, as libellous as that to which il replies:
Tho Journal has gone into the Averll Ore Bed again
Ii has strong scent for metallic substances
in the shape of coin The regency have real grievance
in this matter of the 0reBed purchase The Legislature
in 1855 authorized and dcted the commissioners OF the
land Office to make the -lchase at 800 GEO. foted ~

ec the regency vent their disappointment by denoun-
cling the purchase corrupt although in the same
BREATH they forced to confess that Comptroller Bur-
declined to pay the money, because he had doubts
as to his powers under the law doubts which Judge
Gould has since decided were not well grounded.
Ii is not for endorse such charges these made
either side We give them only TO show the bitter
of the contest leaving the parties to them to tight
il out
The epidemic of mutual accusation has spread beyond
the central organs and has infected the subsidiary press
and these in turn have assed each other and denounced
their leaders.
We have copied some of these passages at arms, But
the Statesman in the paragraph below, explains how the
leaders console themselves under these attacks:
| The in which they dispose of the grumblers
is little amusing to outsiders than fatter1ng 10
those who disposed to rebel against the ntoeant rule
of the juno Dont you think your vote is going to be
very much broken next fall they are asked. oh
no--not at all 7 is the reply.
" Well, but look at the position of the Buffalo Ex-
I press " urges the inquirer.
"Oh Clapp don't amount to anything is the an
swer he's mad because he couldn't get the cerkship OF
the house We will give him sop and stop his mouth
"Well," again remarks the outsider, q there's the
Buffalo Republic p!
"Pshaw r says the junto-man g That's Ben. Welch
Ie is conceited sore-head He don't amount to row

"wcll, then" pcrsevsres the other "ths..-s' the
Times at Oswego r.
"oh, that's tube. We On play upon that as we

''The STANDARD at Syracuse r.
" It he's neither position nor circulation"

g He's an ass !"
"Well, then, the New York Times, Raymond has in
/ fiuence, any way !!
e Not bit" perseyeres the member of the junto.
He wants Office and cant get iteverybody knows
that r.
AT least there's the Evening POST once more urges
the outsiderthe editors Of that paper don't want Of

g No., says Albany oracle, .'but they're set Of
poets who don't know anything about politics. or they
wouldn't have sold out cheap last fall. Besides, no
person the Post out of New York. and don't
| pect anything there but what we buy r.
This is faithful record of the sidewalk conyersa-
ton of the hanger-on Of the junto and all who know
them will recognise its fidelity at once In the organ'
the talk not quite plain 1t is true but the assertion
that the Buffalo Republic and the other radical democrat
c journals in the State cannot take ve radical demo-
Gratis with them out of the republican ranks is
ing ntmaon of the contempt in which the Albany re-
