QUESTION OF IRIvILEGE.-I Tue New
. York Tribune, in December last, in
dulged, through its reporters, in some
structures on the vote on the impeach
+ ment resolution given by the members
/ ofConeress from this state, and there
upon our distinguished N. c. arose to
asquestion ofpriyilcge and sent copy
of that paper to the Clerk g desk to have
the article alluded to read, and he then
made a speech defending his own action
and that of his colleagues, and took oc-
casion therein to give the Tribune and
its reporters "a particular George wal,
Looping. In q recent number of that pa
per we find the following Julian Chand-
Ter Lecture Oh good manners, done up,
in the Tribune,s peculiar cut and thrust
style, which the friends of our NJ. O. and
our readers cannot fail to appreciate:
"Why cannot honorable gentleman
scold each. other in private. and wash
their dirty linen at home? Why cannot
they make appointments and settle their
insignificant differences in each others
LODGINGS? If nobody cares for their
wrath; if the public is but an unwilling
auditor of their injuries; if their misun-
derStandiDgs do not in the smallest
measure concern the common veal or
the common woe it is eXtremel y i'll bred
for them to thrust their petty grievances
upon the national attention, to say moth
ing of the space which they eXtort from
reluctant newspapers. They force us TO
print their folly, and if We are a little
FESTIVE under the imposition, and ven
ture to express our dissatisfaction, this
brawler or the other may be rising to a
question of privilege, or may seek to
relieve his overburdened mind by abus-
ing our reporters, who are usually bet
ter informed than he is concerning the
real business of the House; and may
have saved him twenty times from ridi
cule by making the best they could of
his blunders. The mber of men in
the House whose speeches will bear YER
batim reporting is limited and if those
who sometimes find fault so freely with
the daily press did but know what a
dreadful revenge the art of stenography
always keeps within our reach, they
would either show themselves less diff
cult to please, or resort at once to the
orning and evening study of Murrays
Grammar and of Gushing S Manuel
tacy" Gas an honorable member Of Con
gress in his address to the voters Of this
district,) has destroyed his opponents
that he has sswrestled" in time past with,
he has determined to tussle with some
of the leading Republican newspapers
Of the country, in order to keep his hand
and heart in quarreling mood, and sat
isfy the inordinate cravings of his ma
ture The above extract from the New
York Tribune gives his progress in that
quarter, and the following from the
Cincinnati Comm crcial, indicates that
he will have his hands full, and will
have to call upon his friends sdeath and
political apostacy' to again assist him
to get rid of the opposition he has in

ITO the Edit or of the Cincinn att Gazette:
'My attention has been called to recent editorial
in the COMMERCIAL in which is asserted that am
the Washington correspondent of the Indiana True
Republican, and the author of letter which appear
ed therein not long since, charging Gen. Grant with
the vice of drunkenness Both these statements
false. am not the correspon dent of the paper
ed nor of any other, nor had l any thing to do, d
recty indirectly, in any manner or form, with the
authorship of the letter referred to THIS denial is
due to the public and to myself and not to the editor
of the COMMERCIAL, who must have known his
tons were unwarrant ted and gratuitous when he PEN
ned them.
''yery Respectfully,
GEORGE ". JULIAN"
The Hon George W. Julian is q sneak.
The ruling passion of his life is hatred
Of Gov Morton. He has a cold, sna<y
spite toward every body who is superior
to him. If it will 90 him any good to
know it, we will inform Mr.. Julian that
we believed when we connected him with
the authorship of the letter, in the paper
that his brother edits, and which is ex
pressly devoted to his fortunes, that he
was the author Of it. We do know that
the Washington correspondence OF the
True Republican otherwise known as the
Juliam FAMILY O'yan,) is looked at and
considered the production Of the Hon.
George w. Julian. MIR. Julian knows
who the writer of the letter is, and takes
care not to tell. 1t was not character
stic in him if he knew nothing Of the
letter, for he has the keen scent of
long nosed hound for SANDER. The diff
Guilty with Mr.. Julian is his fancy that
HE is a candidate for Vice President
The Cincinnati Commercial states
that on Wednesday not less than 1880
delegates had arrived at Indianapolis, to
attend the State Convention, and there
wasn't hall large enough in the city to
contain those already there and expect
ed The convention meets to-day, and
