THE PHOTOGRAPHS. = In regard TO the
photograph notice OF which the JOURNAL
complains 50 much in yesterday morn
1ng's paper, we would say that the Locdl
editor had nothing TO do with It. The
p;aragraph &aol.la nave appeared IN the
the city news column. II Would then have
appeared as q comm unication, as il was
VIII the JoURSAL make the dmegds hon
OrabIe F-L0eG,, Courier.
We can only say that the Courier was
unfortunate in printing. as a paragraph
by the local, a stateme Mt that necessitated
the reply which appeared in the JoURNAL'
We have no disposition to censure the
local for q faisehood he disclaims, and
trust hereafter he viii not be made to shou!-
der the siAs of others. as in the instance to
which we refer.-JoURNAL.
After having done a gross injustice
to the local of the Courier, is the
above the best you can do, JOURNAL?
IF so, may the Lord have mercy on
your little soul. Well, this is all that
could have been expected, perhaps,
from that paper. After the session
of the Methodist Conference in this
city, the JOURNAL came out, and in
language-rather soft-but, in effect,
called the Presiding Elder of the dis
trict a liar, when all know that the
JOURNAL LIED, and the Presiding El :
der of the NJ. E. Church at this pl ace
told the truth. When the JOURNAL
will hazard its reputation for truth
and veracity against that of the Pre-
siding Elder of the district, the To-
cal of this paper can put up with
the doubtful 1nlende honorable the
JOURNAL MAKES yesterday Courier
Local.
We do not know that the Local Of
the Courier had anything to do with
the last paragraph. Possibly, it ought
to have appeared in the " local adver-
tisipg columns" instead of the city
news column. But, supposing it was
written by the Local aforesaid, it de-
serves a passing notice. .s.
The original ofense was given by
the Courier in long local item, which
everybody in the city supposed wa:
written by she local editor. The
statements in that article were false.
and we said So On Tuesday evening
we received a call from the Local
Of the Courier. who informed III
that the offensive paragraph was no
written by aim, but by the editor, Mr.
WHITTLEsEY, and should have ap
peared on the second page of the
Courier. He said he would make
Mr.. WHITTLEsEY correct the mistak'
or ne would do it himself. To ou
surprise, the Courier of the mex
morning stated In local item again
that the original item should haY
appeared as communication in tn
local advertising columns" and ask
ing us to apologize for the blun
ders in the make up 0
that paper, a request so vcr
modest that we could not find it i
our heart to refuse. Putting th
Courier's item Of yesterday with wha
has taken place heretofore, we cal
only conclude, after exercising prope
charity, that the local department 0
that paper is in such fuddled con
dition that it ought not to be meas
ured by the rule which obtains i
all we'll regulated newspaper establish
ments, and shall hereafter only motto
it when we think its falsehoods are 0
sufficient Importance to demand refu
tation. @
The JOURNAL does not hazard it
reputation for truth aud veracit
against that Of the Presiding Elder 0
the Evansville District of the NJ
Church. When the responsible part
takes issue with the statements mad
by the JOURNAL, it will be foun
ready to back up these statement
with the facts. We cannot be ez
pected to debate the point with a
