YOUR BULL AND MY OK.

tn, Daily Ne,rs of yesterday had leader on
the forged Proclamation and the military sus-
pension of the journals publishing 1t, from
which we read as follows:
For that military crime have those two Journals re
World and Journal Of Commerce, been arrested III the
of their legitimate busincsst FOR WHAT crime
have these Offices been throngcd with solders lhgesS
and cgress prohibited the routine OF business h,or
mptcd their affairs thrown into confusion ana heeNy
pccunary loss occasoned Our sober. justiceloVlng
citizens will hardly credit 1t when we say II was Tor
publishing, in good faith and without suspicion ol
wrong paper that was represented to them ns beng
proclamation of Abraham Lincoln. and That they non,
esty believed was such The idea that any one connected
Min those journals had anything 70 90 ".m msyorgey
thar Proclamation is preposeroas to be entertained by
any sane siad'
Very good: we assent to all this. But, turn
ing TO the first page of that same issue Of The
Daily Ne,os, we find letter from some SeceSh
scoundrel, dated "Lnodon, May 7th,' from
which we read as follows:
Are you tired of hearing about the Mallory Report
orgery If 80 am sorry for you. for 1t VIII DC long
time ere il is forgot H. and will be cropping out re most
inconYenient seasons MIR Mallory has written letter
to Commander Maury. which has been published IN

We can't quite understand how 1t is that
the victims Of forger are severely punished,
while the daily uttcrance of such villainou3,
traitorous and utterly proposterous calumnies,
calculated to shake the very pillars Of the State,
go utterly unrehuked. Can any one explain
