A DlsAanEEABLD AFFAIR.

The very disagreeable and painful
duty is forced, upon rs this week Of
publishing a couple Of letters from
Mayor Curry and City Attorney Taylor,
relating to a communication in last
weeks JOURNAL concerning "Piue
Garden" We have IN utter horror of
personal controversies among private
individuals through the medium Of
newspapers, and become party to them
only when it cannot possibly DO avoided
Having given place to the communica-
ton Of last week, We cannot refuse
publication to the replies, though W
have protested in person, and do now
protest, against the language in which
they are clothed, especially that Of Mr..
Taylor. Mr.. T. feels himself deeply a.
srieved ty the charges to which he
replies, aud We believe With good
cause; yet the employment Of such
epithots and expressions - are used in
his letter would scarcely be warranted
under any circumstance and especially
toward a minister Of the gospel who
stands high in the estimation Of the
public as man, whose Christian char.
acter is held above reproach, and Who,
however he might be led to act under
misrepresentation, would not willingly
injure the reputation Of Any of his fel.
low creatures. Nor do We believe such
language tends to serve the ends for
which it is used to anything like the
degree that is obtainable through cooler,
keener aud more trenchant satire. :.
While the attack referred to required
and justified a reply, We feel called
upon, for our own sake, to protest
against the dress in which these arc
presented, though at the same time v.
do not fell at liberty to refuse them q
place in our columns or demand their
alteration. It will be much better fol-
all concerned if the whole matter be
allowed to drop just where it is. veg:

- 49, A SETTLER.
We agree with our correspondent IN
the opinion that the ruling Of the Land
Office in not granting to the party
proving the aba,donment and applying
for the. cancellation Of a Homestead En-
try = prior right Or lien upon the same
for'a limited time after the decision has
usea rendered, is mischievous and un-
just in almost every case. The first
principles Of right would seem to tudi-
cate that when settler looks up piece
Of land and proves its abandonment,
meeting the necessary expenses, he
should be granted certain advantages
over other parties who have been mere
~ outside spectators. We are at a loss
to conceive the reasons which impel
the Department to establish such rul-
ing, and 70 imagine the good which is
expected to result from it.
While the condition Of affairs de-
scribed by "settler' may exist at the
Land Office in his district, it does not
stand as the counterpart in any particu-
lar OF the management Of the Office at
this place. We can emphatieally state
that there Is nothing Of the trading Of
settlers rights practiced or tolerated in
either the Registers q Reoeivers Of.
aee." On the contrary, the most liberal
Interpretation Of the law, ~ we'll as
the rulings Of the Department, is en-
ployed to aid those who in good faith
are seeking homes In this District.
