Tue CRY PRINTISG.-Ever since the
new mansg smsnt took hold Of the Gazstte.
that paper has exhibited most oontsmptible
and unblushlng spirit Of jsalously towards our
office. abusing the Council individually and
AZ, ''eetiv ely. for selecting our paper - the
of6s,., organ Of the city. sndsavoring to IN
;ur. our susinss. BY asserting that We are
d,.,os., .o our native land. and other wise
soaking of ~ cir bile in dirty, low squibs
". h.ys l.. them hammer swsy because We
,..v v.u ln.v 1 Vat their sforts would
prove futile, and sup oosed that when the
.r.susv Who was cleo. ed to the editorial
stool OF the Gaxess. haa * eibitsd himself to
his own sstisisc.iou he you'd shut bic hush,
work up the nigger and nothing else. But d's~
appointment sours the soul. The present Pro
pr,etors Of the Gazette parchassd tho s'tso
iishmsnt under the Impression that 'hs1s wac
money in it, and there want. They thous"'
10 nile up . fortune in short time. but bsve
discovered that to run that concern MAI
musl have q long purse and disposition 70
spend its contents. Possibly they Possess 'ne
former /; but hbsrsllty 10 NO. one OF their cnAr-
acteristics Their castles in the air have melt
Cd away, their business is decrsssin every
day, and they feel ugly. We don't bla~e
them, and will allow them to abuse 10 % muIh

instructed Us to print in pamphlet form The
proceedings Of that body for the current year
We did SO, Ap1 to day it is the only complete
journal OF the proceedings Of the Council TO be
found In the city 1t has not been the Gus
tom Of the City Council 10 place oil the pro.
eesdings Of that body upon the pages Of the
journal. Petitions, ordinances, and reports
were stuck in the Pigeon.hole Of the Clerk :
deck. aad many Of them lost or destroyed. and
Furthermore. in case Of the Clerks papers be,
ing lost by fire, the city has printed record
which they know ts be full. complete aud cor.
rect ln ell other cities Of importance the
records are printed every year. and it is right
they should be. The Gazette men would have
thought 90 to. if they had the job Of printing
them. which they have not. The Ga.sns Ut
ters an outrsgsoss falsehood when it asserts
that the printing Of these records will cost the
city Mivtsss hundred and ssreasy five dollars.
Two.thirds Of the work 10 already done aud
paid for, and ws believe the Gazette knew 1t
when the trash published yesterday vas PEN
ned. Il the city chooses to stop the work We
shali not complain. We went to the expense
Of purchasing new type for the job; labsrsd
many days in copying aud arranging the pro-
ossdings, knowing the importance Of having
them correct. and We know they are 20. We
know very we'll that the Gasette would 20 to
any length to injurs % in business. but We
can assure them that fighting just such cattle
- they are, 10 our forte. and We will sudssv-
or hereafter to make It part Of our busin ess
II by chance that institution should happen to
be elected to the Office Of city printer. We
shsll expect them 10 do oil the city printing
gratis. To prove themselves consistent thew
will be compelled to do %. We will here
leave the suLjsct. feeling satis6sd that when
the Council somss:to consider the importance
Of hsvisg the records 10 printed form. to en-
sure their safetv. they vail not allow the work
TO be stopped. the epitsial yslpipg Of the Ca
