FaI.e News.

II is really shame that there should be
so much deception in regard to the news
dispatches published throughout the coun-
try. There is Of course guilt in this mat
ter somewhere, bat it is not likely TO be
either discovered or punished.
We suppose this deception can mainly
be attributed to the stock market, which
is necessarily governed by the state Of the
country. Even the special dispatches OF
the leading city dailies must be looked up
on lately with disirust. The dispatches
of the Associated press are about the only
reliable source of public information.

icle the capture of Richmond, the seat Of

to occur during the present Neek--at least
