THE TRIBUNE IN TROUBLE.-The Tribune is in
great tribulation about the official statement of
its circulation. II thinks that the circulation of
newspapers should be established every day
upon oath. Well, we think that this rule is
faithfully complied with. We know that as far
as our paper is concerned its daily circulation
ia verified under the sanction of an oath. We
have not the least idea-nor could we be in
duced to believe-that the Tribune people, in
making their first returns to the assessor Of in
ternal revenue, Intended to commit perjury to
evade the tax. Not at ALL On the contrary,
we are disposed to put the charitable interpre-
tation upon the matter-that in making their
first returns Of circulation they simply made a
mistake.
