The same inaccuracies run through the
other reports which they pretend are "Tele-
graphed to the ARGUS"
This comparison is most damaging 20 the
credit Of the Union, as any one can see by
taking the very paper in which it is pub
Iished. 1t is to be supposed that the com
parison is between the ARGUS report. as
published on the 18TH and that of the onion
Of the l4.h, being the same market report
that the ARGUS publishes tweIre h0,rs in
aduance of the Union.
1t initiates the report for the purpose OF
making it appear that their report i, alone
correct, aud that we do not receive our dis.
patches by telegraph. Now If we received
our dispatches BY the mule line, it is our
Own business, so they are correct, and as for
our entire dispatches, they are more correct,
fuller. better, and contain more news in one
day than the Unions, which come BY that
old monopoy of trash, The Associated
Press" do In three days.
But let US make few more comparisons
that can be verified by reference to the
papers themselves.

Here are the two reports side by side,
both bearing the same Chicago date, and
that of the ARGUS being published tWelUe
hours in Advance Of the Union. 1t will also
be seen that the Union, in its comparison,
has not even quoted correctly from its own
paper, and in order to further make its point
it does not quote correctly from the ARGUS
a further comparison Of the above reports
with the Chicago papers published on the
| evening of the 18th, will show that the
report of the ARGUS is correct.
But the whole point with the grief stricken
Union is it would like to know where we
get our reports. We will relieve it upon
'n'a point by telling its editor that it is our
business, and further that it is our money
'nat pays tor them. If there is anything
further connected with our affairs that it is
anxious to know, We shall be pleased to en-.
tighten him just as fully.
We advise him to send that nond esoript
individual around again with a sta.emen.
for the telegraph operator to sign, that the
ARGUS didn't take dispatches. Tha. was .
sharp trick, provided he had not sen. fool
