tzV The pOssessor or conductor Of q newspa-
tor venting his dislikes and ill feelings, towards
various individuals. as the impulse Of caprice
or passion may lead. Private difficulties, per
sOnai controversies and neighborhood gossip,
are net ordinarily regarded rs fit subjects for
the columns of newspaper.-Since the organ
ization of our new Common Council, indiyidus.
members thereof, have been made the sui jsct
, Of frequent remarks, which were doubtless in
tended for witicisms by the Times in this city.
These innusndoes have been repeated in various
Forms, evidently the outgoings of all i'll nature
and aimed to throw odium upon members of the
Board of Alderman. The acts of public officers
are public property, and so far as they have q
public bearing are legitimate subject for news
paper comment. But when such comments
dwindie into mere personal matter, and strain
ed efforts are made to excite little ridIeule. it
only shows bad temper. We have been often
asked why VIC have allowed members Of the
present Board of Aldermen to be misreprssent-
ed by tie. Times newspaper without word of
dsapproYal The chief reason we assign is,
that the attacks upon the Council have been 30
transparently the result of personal i'll nature,
that they would not be likely to harm anybody.
Ii the assailed and assalant, were strangers In
this community the case would be different; but
the long established character of the individu-
al members of the Council for honesty and in
teglity of character is such, that mere newspa-
per squibs will not BIO very likely to endauger
their satnding. We believe the Common Coun-
ell to be aetuated by determination to conduct
the affairs of the city with economy, and due
regard to the best interests of the people.
