and wears altogether a pOverty-strickep
appearance. 1t is evidently on its last
legs. II it should live until the 1st of
August il will be through some miracle.
OF the Bu1etiB's politics we have noth-
ing to say. We could not strike even q
dog with death written In its face. But
We protest against the name in which
its river columns are conducted. We
protest against it because il is q disgrace
to the steamboat business and t. the call
ing OF the journalist. If the Bulletin ex-
poets its river column to command the
slightest respect from any source, IL must
take il out Of the hands OF the dirtv vac
abond who now serihbles for it, and
place il IL the hands Of a mar Who can
make st least soIae little show Of de-
eeney, and who has not been so often
kicked cut Of the society of gentlemen
that be prepares himself to be kicked
every time a stranger approaches him.
