and to the senior editor. 4 sax
1t would be just as easy for US to call
old Ratty 'drunkard.' and a regular old
soker,' as it is for him to call us such. but
we do not feel disposed to do so.
When an editor stoops so low as to fol-
low contemporary into The private circles
OF life, and tell all he knows about his char
acter, and all he hears, and all his imagin-
alton can conceive, we think he has en-
gagged in business that does not belong
to hir,. We never have, we believe, fol-
lowea old Ratty out side of his Office. al
though we might have done SO, and been
justified in it by the course he has taken
towards us.
Ratty's last hope is to ruin our charac-
ter; If he can succeed in doing that, he
vainly imagiues that the support we now
receive will rally to his relief. But in this
he will find that his disappointment vii
be as great as when the sad news reached
his ears that the Sheriff's printing and the
Delinquent List had been given to US
Poor old Rst:y, how he must have felt
then.
We have no time or incliration 10 follow
him in answer to all the lies he published
in his last paper, but will only give thu
following, as kind of index to tie ar
ticies in which they appeared.
lst He says he never began PERSONAL
Cd. He says he never called US q drunk
ard. and Sd. he says he has been so inform
ed We deny that he was ever SO inform
cd by any decent man, and we now call Oh
him for the names of his infOrmants:

9Th, that he does not use any slang il
speaking about us.
9Th. That the editors Of this paper are
a trio.
7th. That he will no p (?) to GU

at the same time he calls us ''barebones

To cap the climax. he talks about on

Change Of the Postage Law

Mr.. ENGLISH, one of the members Of
Congress from this State. has introduced
a bill INTO the House, making change in
the rates Of postage on periodicals. with
the design of making the postal department
-self-sus,aining. One important change is
proposed in the bill: compelling publishers
of newspapers. mag ,zines. &c. to pay
postage on their exchanges. We have ne
objection 20 the passage of some law which
would raise sufficient revenue to meet the
expenses of this department. Of the gov
eminent; but We protest against making up
the present deficiency from the publishing
fraternity. Some may say that publishers
should pay postage On their mail matter,
the same as other individuals. This would
appear very reasonable, if we did not look
into the matter any further; but when we
lake into consideration the fact that pub
fishers put more postage money into the
treasury than any other class Of citizens,
it is nothing more than right that the gov
eminent should show its appreciation Of
such favors in more substantial manner
than merely authorizing the publication of
the list of letters at cent apiece! The
Postmasters in Nav York. Boston. Phila-
deiohia. and other large cities. realize ten
or fifteen thousand dollars out of their Of
fees. annually. If the law was so chang
ed that those officers would not receive
more than half their present salaries. and
the balance put in the accounts due the
government. it would tend fully as much
toward supplying the deficiency Is the
amount collected from publishers exchan-
ges. s,.t.
We hope come other method of raising
the necessary amount Of cash to make this
department. self-sustaining. will bs pro-
posed, As our limited acquaintance with
the craft convinces US that to depend on
publishers for any considerable portion of
the present deficiency in that department.
is the most fallacious idea that Congress
man could .enlertain. Another such mo-
tion. - this from Mr. English. and we shall

This question is easily answered. 1t was
because he lies SO continuously that even
his own party began to look with distrust
upon everything that appeared in his pa
per. In order that his paper might con-
tinue to be the organ of his party in this
County, i. was necessary that some i'm
provement be made in its editorial manage
