THE RENO CREscENT AND ITS CAR
son CORRESPONDENT.

During the past eight or ten months
ws have been tine object of gratuitous
abuse ut the hands Of certain anonymous
correspondents of the Reno Crescent,
whose conductor had no cause of quar-
rel With Us, and who, in permitting these
attacks, gave countenauce to system
of vituper4tion aud misrepresentation
which professional courtesy and de-
cent regard for former friendships
should have excluded. We have per-
mitted ourself to take notice of these
petty assaults upon one or two occasions
only FIRST, TO protes, against the use OF
a aominaly friendly eotemporarys col
unns for such abuse, and next TO expose
lin a very mild manner under the pro-
vocatiou.) the character of one of the
persons so attacking Us. We also made
allusiou, in our article replying to a
letter written for publication by the Sec
rerary of State, to a notorious business
transaction of the conductor of tia,
paper; and in the same issue (of Tues
day last alluded TO the Crescent az the
organ of a certain clique of politicians,
.nd reproved tina, paper for permitting
,he publication in its columns of a most
gross and iudeceat attack, by an anony-
nous writer, upon Senator Nys and
Congressman Fitch. These rejoin6ers
and charges drove the editor of the
Crescent from his cover (behind his
Irresponsible correspondeuts) and be
has, a, last, been bold enough to declare
var upon his own hook.
Ia the last issue of that paper, its
EDITOR, Mr.. John G. Lewis, proceeds to
desne his position and in doing SO
claims to be so far independent, OF
political parties as 10 be justified in
giving publicity to the character of cor
respondrnce, 10 which we have alluded.
he then proceeds TO insinuate, in q
manner peculiarly his own, that the
APPEAL (which be designaies as the
Thunderer y is supporting the Bank
{. for q consideration" aud that the
prssent State Printer is seeking for a
denomination as q Bank man.
Now, in reply to all this, We have
merely to say that assumed "independ
erce" is no Justification for the publ
cation of systematic scurrillity, either
from aoony nous and wholly irrespon-
nie correspondents or at the hands of The
editor of the Crescent ; and tha, y lille
we can afford TO pass by, with a con-
,smp,uous smile, that puerile sort Of
auSck which finds vent in the appiica-
tio0 of a meaningless and vulgar nick
name, ~e are bound to repel the insinu-
alton of our beiLg subsidized to the
Bank, ny ptouOuncing the innuendo an
absolute and rnqu ,iifed f,lsehood and
ne are justified IN saying, by way of a
i''ing rjoinder, that We share the be-
i.rf If many Others that the course OF
b, Crescent, with regard TO the Bank
of California, was adopted With a view
70 being sileneed through the spplica-
ZOE If inst such 90 considerations as
sh> Gresren: would hare il believed are
the aStlating motive for our unwilling
ness to join tLat paper and lis friends in
their coarse and groyeiling abuse of Mr..
sharon abS the institution of which be
is tie agent in this Safe. As to Mr.
Lewis opposition TO the nomination of
he present State Printer ws have only
20 say that it might be regarded rs in
quite as good taste for him to have
saited for our solicitation OF, his sup
aort before so decidedly expressing him
ssif add this is none the less apparent
vhea ws allsde to the fact that soms Of
bis frissds have samed him - OR SIS
