There is one thing in which we do not agree
With the old sinner; and it 10 characteristic of
"the father OF les" to mix up error and false

THE CHEvAHs WEBB GIVES Us New SEN
sArIoS.-The Chsvalier Webb is out in an
elaborate defence Of the milk and water school
Of journalism, and Is excessively shocked by
the success Of sensation newspapers. This is
exceedingly inconsistent, for the Cbevalier has
given us several first class sensations. Read
the list
1. The great bank sensation, very good, but
excessively dear. Cost 6fty-two thousand and
odd dollars.
2. The celebrated Graves and Cilley sensa-
lion. Webb sstonished ell Washington by run
ping about threatening to cut Ciliey into little
oirs. (Cuiey was dead at the time.)
B. The wonderful mahogany stock sensation.

Washington with the avowed intent Of lighting

4. The Tom Marshall sensation--the trial,
conviction, sentence and pardon of Webb by
Seward-splendid chance for half dozen thrill.

8. The sensation experienced by Webb when
tho Senate refused to confirm him a. Minister
to Austria, when he had bis things. cooked hat,
sword, breechee and top boots ell ready. The
anguish of q small boy sent to bed without his
supper Is mild compared to the feelings Of the
Chevalier on account Of this cruel blow.
6. The sensa.ion created by the Chevalier in
1855, when he declared that, at the first sign of
secession In the South, he would shoulder his
musket and march against the disunionists 1t

his trunk and will soon be of for Charleston.
The last sensation which we owe the Chevs.
lier has been caused BY his statement that the
South was to be whipped into submission. This
tone, assumed BY many others of the Chsvaliers
political stripe, has created quite " sensation
