Itappsars then, that the reporter of the n.
York Times was in lodgings in q corner of the
city and thai he staid there during the whole
time of the Princes visit. We were going to say
that he saw nothing Of what he describes but
that 10 matter of course. He could not have
seen it, for il did not happen. We will amend
our statement, therefore, and say that had
things happened IS be pretended, he could not
have known il personally, for he could not
have seen what was going on. At the same
time, ne might very easily have ascertained
the whole truth, had he been SO disposed. But
1t suited his purpose TO manufacture mali
cious lie He WAS doubtless sent here 10 write
a libel upon u.s. because We were Shareholders,
and il suited the purpose of the New York
Tunes to represent all Shareholders as vulgar
hruIss incapable of behaving with even de-
rency, far less propriety.
The lies OF lne London Tones correspon-
dent are all copied from the correspondent Of
the other copied his lies, and the New York
Tribune, supporting one batch OF lies by the
other, says that the New York Times must tell
the truth, because the London Time, says the
same thing. The correspondent Of tho Lon
don Ttrs,s WAS not even In the city. He stopped
in Baltimore snd staic there all the time The
Prince was here.
The gusto with which the London Times re-
turns TO this fayorite subjec. is refreshing.
