Aqempsst in Tea Pot,
Our neighbor Of Watons Journal must have
breakiasted on sour-krout Saturday morning,
and this Dutch diet had such an effect upon hi,
sensitive and irritable stomach that in the at
ternoon he yomlted forth full column ami a
quarter OF most malignant matter II is to
bo hoped he was 30 far relieved by this wholesale
delivery that he had a comfortable night Of It,.
II he did MT, prudent doctors will have but lit
tie hope for the patient. 10 drop metaphor,
and speak dldly-although the subject is 60
ludlcrous and puerlo that we can hardly bring
ouTseli to treat 1T serOusly--the Daily Journal
comes down on the " substitute editor Of the
FREEMAN with an imbeCile and impotent rage
that is alike laughable and pitiable to see. lie
arraigns us for about all the crimes in the cal
endar, and could be have his own way, would
try, convict, and condemn US without Judge or
jury, and execute US without even the beuef. Of
clergy to shrive US. The head and iron. Of our
present offending is the following little para

Of nn ~, \. d l..
who is one of the fortunate, ana also member
OF the fourth estate, has seen it, and from him
we learn that il IS a very crediteble and interest
ing pamphlet document OF one hundred and
thirty pages, and from its frequent reference to
the Appendix, It is more than probable that il
Is to be followed, at the convenience Of the au.
thor and printer, by u voluminous and exhaus-
tive Appendix"
In commenting on this harmless little item.
the editor Of the Daily Journal accuses US Of
" malignty," and as attempting in it to 80 i'm.

d" Gen Washburnis here charged with official
neglect and a violation of law, and ourself with
a violation Of contract, by consulting conye-
nlence instead Of duty"
Is our neghbor deliberate lalsider. or is he
stark mad Not word is said in the above
derogatOry to Gen. Washburn, either as a man
or an official. We supposed then--we suppose
now-that as soon as 1t was convenieut-and
by that We meant just what the English diction-
airy makes the word meap,-at the proper time,
all the circumstances being taken into eouside,
ration the Report and Appendix would be
forthcoming. We never even mentioned Mr..
Walton as the printer of the work, and we
cheerully submit TO any unprejudced mind that
not word is said, or implied even, about "yi.
olation of law and Of " contract" We have
never written word Of lault-inding, or of uG-
just criticism even, against Gen Washburn or
his printer, because tho book was not ready for
delivery the 9th OF October, as We think the pro-
posals for printing and binding 1t said it must
be, 1t was a matter We cared nothing Tor, and
didn t choose 10 interfere with. And our neigh
Dor can possibly ruile cur temper, or get IN A
quarrel with US on that issue. We have busi.
ness enough Of our own to attend to without
troubling ouIself about that OF others. The
" malgnity" is all in the jaundiccd and dis.
eased Imagination Of cur nervous little co,em-
porary. And viewed in that light, it is simply
amusing to see our neighb)r wax wroth in the
following grandiloquent style:
