Daily State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1862-04-04

The Journal of Yesterday charges Us with ga
wful and malicious he. manufactured 10 injure
the reputation and business OF this (the JOurnatl
Office" for stating that il had, on the first of
April ISSUED an extra purporting to contain the
latest Dews from the seat OF war" Thatwas the
impression of the public, as it was ours. The
Journal news boys sold the extra and cried il
through the streets "a the journal extra" 1t
was purchased by large number of our citizens
as journal extra" The Journal, in its issue
of Wednesday morning, admits that the extra
was got up nearly in imitation of our (its)

was saddled with the fact" Ii also says that
some of the news boys Thought it a genuine
news sheet" This is the Journals own repre-
sentation of the matter The public believed
that the extra" was issued from the Journal
Office. we believed that it was and the Journal
admits that IL was intended to be taken for it and
in most cases taken for it, Yet, after ma
ding the admission that the extra wasa swim

article. it has the effrontery to characterize with
q great afiectation Of injured innocence, what
we said in the matter, and which were justi-
ned in saying by its own admissions, as being a
malicious, unjustifable and bassess lie," that
never had parallel. IL says, in addition,
that the extra is much its property as its
presses, and that we have just as much right
to injure press, as to damage the standing Of

apply alegal remedy to redress its wrongs, which
has since done. II we have right to dam
age the standing Of the Journal Extra" if il
Is just as much its property as its presses, it
tainly has no right to damage the standing Of
the Sentinel, which is just as much our property
as our presses. A few weeks ago it charged the
SsafiHei with forgery. Had it a right to thus Gin
Jure the business and reputation of this Officer"
Even in its issue of yesterday, the very one in
which it complains of US for publishing the
charge that it had issued spurious Extra .
there appears communication charging US with
dsloyalty to the Government-with treason
the highest crime known to the law. Has IL
right thus to "injure the business and reputation
Of this Officer" Are net the proprietors of that
print liable 10 heavy damages therefor? The
Journal has ever exhibited towards the SentineI
a mean and malicious spirit--an envious feeling
long entertained which has now eliminated in a
suit for damaging it in some way. but for the
life of Us We cannot imagine how. The public
will be duly advised of the amount Of damages,
the ''JoarRai Company RECEIVERS in its attempt
70 establish a character by legal remedies. We
shall certainly take advantage OF the opportunity
that Is thus forced upon US 10 ventilate that es-
tablishmeut from stem 20 stern.
We .an not help asking our Republican friends
IL they are not ashamed OF their organ Like a
cowardy urchin who gets a little worsted in a
rencontre with one of his plasmates, a. a punish
ment Il threatens TO tell it, ma Ii gets little
pat upon its nose which perhaps starts the blood
but instead OF manfullY showing fight. even if i,
has not the strength to conquer, like a cur il
drops its tail between its legs and yelps out
threats of legal remedies We can not imagine
any thing quite as diminutive, as little, as the
position OF the Journal. Ii it is not namby
pamby. puerile. il is impossible to comprehend an
idea of ieebleuess. We advise the Journal
Company. Il there are any men in the association,
for the sake OF the great Republican party. il
they have not enough respect for themselves. 70
try 20 exhibit a little mAnliness. to De somebody
or something, 10 be men OF nice, or. If they can
do better long tailed rats.
