ents who are paid for their services,
ana they take good care to earn their
money. We know that the salary Of
one OF the Cincinnati reporters was
advanced i've dollars per month since
the hrst of September. We would
advise our friend William TO COPY
from these papers. 1t il the best he
can do. The idea of abusing the tel
egraph or the coal men is the worst
kind OF nonsense. The telegraph would
be happy to serve even Louisville.

That's the true doctrine. The Gin
cinnati papers pay for their dis
patches.
