4 SraGEsTIoN-Dnr atsentinn has been directed
to n grievance which We think can he very easily
remelel. We aliulc h The want ut order and
management in seating passengers in the coaches
of the two trains departing from the Depot in this
city. AZ the ira :,s arrive, the gentlemen
passengers make far the departing trains which
after reaching they throw their coaks or overrpats
or whatever they ,aav ,'hn'se IL use for the pur-
ppsr IN the seats aud thu" the most rliri-
lie places in the very coaches which intended
for the nc omm.latibn OF ladies' and. families
When the passengers return from thu Eating
House all tho good seats are taken and gentlemen
who are travelling with laes must do the best
tEey can: in many instances subjected IL the
annoyance and Inconvenience If being sepa rated
from those they have in charge. The way Ia
remedy this abuse would he to have n person al
ways nj hund ut the proper time, whose duly 1t
shall be to properly seat alies, and other parties
travelling in company The doors II the tw"
hinder coaches should he kept locked till within
a short time Of the trains starting. aud then all
confusion and diff suty in procuring seats would
be- ovia,ci
The coursc indicated above is the one pursued
at the Depats Of most we'll regulated roads, and
see no reason why it light not be FOL
lowed here with like favorable results.
PUrrING-Some IF our advertising friends have
complained that do not pay sufficient atten-
ton to their favors in editorial columns-in
other words, do not puff them to the extent they
desire To all such. grumblers desire to nd
dress n few practical words, which we hope they
will receive in the same kind spirit by which they
are dictated. In the first place desire all such
persons 10 understand that We are not simple
enoughto view the advertisements sent this pa
per, n compliment to it's publisher; but as in
tended to serve the pecunary interest of the par
ty advertising We are, at all times, happy to
receive the paying advertisements of the dealers
ofour city, AZ well rs those Of other places. and we
believe. in u large majority of instances, they re-
ceive much greater benefit from advertisements
than inures to the publisher. Such being
belief, we of course feel under no obligation to
give extraordinary notice in cur editorial columns
to matters OF this sort. Most people suppose that
the public must have great interest in their pr-
vate concerns, and seem to believe that newspa-
per folks have nothing TO do but to be constantly
saying good things Of them and their wares:
whereas set it down rs a fact, that there is
nothing which professional writer is called up
on to do. which he 50 utterly detests. AZ putting
Editors of newspapers are engaged for special
business, and it is part Of their duty to waste
precious time in obeyng the opportunities of per-
sons for notices tending to advance the private in
tercsts of the applicants. When we chose to IA
vor friend in this regard it is our own matter,
and concerns nobody else If we feel inclined
to write half column out of feelings of pure
philanthropy, the public are not in the least de
gree affected, and only add an item to the debt
due editors, the catalogue of which, is already
n THOUSAND times langer than the Atlantic cable
In what we have written. we hope 70 have used
language not susceptible Of msconstruction.---
Our advertising columns IRE Arrays at the service
of the public, for considerution-our editorial
columns are not for lire, at any price. Are
