More light "for the Standard"

To the Editor of the Jou9na2:.
We are happily surprised by the tone of a
brief notice in the Standard of this week, as
it calls two columns, nearly, of printed mat
ter. The air of self satisfaction it presents
is very refreshing. His ''foul insinualons
fall harmlessly," and "we trust" he ''has been
taught wholesome lesson" says he. Why
we hurled six columns of kind request" at
the member of the Committee who dared call
III question the general attack we made on the
city and Capital Guards, we called him ''iiar"
and ''sneak" and "villiher' and we supposed
this duck" ought to submit to burial
at our hands; but he appears as lively as ever
and so we will settle him at once. So he
repeats the term ''iar' and says we are
political Pecksnff," "Gangrened Popin-
jay" Indeed he is a terrible fellow-in his
| own estimation, and yet so ''kind" and tender
and benevolent, perfectly satisfied with two
of the Committee who come to him personal
ly and say they are not responsible, but es
peccially exercised because two members of
the Committee do not come at his bidding
and do homage to his power. His tender
heart is already to forgive even these men
whom he selects as chief sinners, and he de-
clares they have sufficient leisure and
ability to perform this ceremony, and say to
him they are not responsible. We believe
the Committee generally will prefer to deal
with the real parties, than with this kind
champion who suddenly starts up with fury,
and demands explanations and charges guilt on
all parties and excuses such as he thinks
proper. But to his argument, if argument
il may be called. From first to last he as
sumes the guilt of parties and demands thai
they prove themselves innocent. AT first the
city was guilty. BY single statement he
found himself obliged to say they were not
guilty. Then the Capital Guards were guilty /;
next, they were on the contrary. "the pride
of the city," Next it is the Committee of Ar
rangements now it is only a few of them,
for there were thirteen members, and these
must prove tn mseves innocent of his
charges. Then he says he ''has no charge to
make Has he forgotten the language of his
| first article on this matter? for he it was who
selected this subject as one suited to his taste,
and who has rolled it from week to week "as
sweet morsel under his tongue" Suppose
we assume his style of argument and say the
writer in the Standard found that an omission
had been made in the decoration ceremo-
Mes" he deliberately siezed it as an opPortu-
nifty to commend himself to the Irishmen and
Catholics and TO he their champion for the
basest purposes of party, and stoops to howl
and snarl at his fellow citizens in manner
that could only be understood in hyena. He
