The Star not the first London daily paper 10 repre-

in many American Journals OF reputation and its
adoption by English papers rendered Il impossible
any longer to ignore it. Nobody pretend say that
comments upon Mr. Delanes appearance the list

THE TIMES IN sELF-DEFENCE.
From the London Times, Oct 81
Alist Of alleged subscribers to the Confederate loan
has been fabricated either here in America and this
list part Of IT, has been published in the Acrning
Star which has made it the subject Of leading ar
ces Whether the whole story an American casard,
or, what is equally likely got up in this country
and sent to America for the purpose Of being sabse
quently reproduced here we cannot tell but that 1t is
could hardly be doubted by any one who read ~ In
this list the editor OF the Times stated TO have been
loser Confederate stock to the Of and
the Star has made its deductions from the supposed fact
That should be thought possible by the ignorant and
obscure that the orm ions OF great newspaper are
formed from time TO time to suit the mercantile specla
tons Of its conductors Is conceivable, but that such
views should be really taken by men conversant with
journalism and its nteresshat the expression OF such
opinions should be honest we cannot believe Even had
the statement been true might have occurred TO these
ready caumniators that whatever opinions were ex-
pressed In the Times had been consistently held from the
time when the Northern states entered upon the enter
prise OF subugating the South by force Though in
no way defended secession yet OF opinion that
the bloodshed and the financial burdens that would be
caused by would be greater evil than pcaceable
separation. These opinions expressed long be-
fore there was any thought Of a Southern loan,
and from the beginning the end Of the struggle they
never varied SO that even had such an investment as
the Star imagnes and comments been made by q
ductor OF this paper IL might be fairly considered the
efoct and not the cause OF his sympathies But the
stock whatever has at any time been acquired pos
sessed by the editor OF the Times. The Injurious and
insulting comments which the Star has based upon the
original fasehood therefore entirely unfounded No
rprobaton can be too great for the cviy which admits
such imputaons the congenal authority OF the New
York HERALD, and then makes them the theme Of
affected indignation.
