With our knowledge of the profession, we
are led to say this much on the Stanley side
that whatever reporters may do in the way
of drawing upon public credulty 1t is but
rare we hear OF one betraying trust connded
to him by his employer. There Is especially among
the attaches OF such paper as the HERALD an
esprit de corps similar to that which animated
Napole0n's Old Guard-a devotion and enthusiasm
which throw aside all personal considerations and
make the man. for the time being, careless fhs per-
sonal safety. We had specimen of this dare
devil courage short time ago In the adventures
OF reporter among the outlaws OF North Carolina,
and this very Stanley, who is now set down as q
fraud and cheat, when sent to Abyssinia to report
the war there, did so with an accuracy and faithful
ness which enabled the HERALD to furnish the Eng
lish government with news Of its triumphs in ad-
vance of any sources Of information at its own
command, 1t was markedly SO during the progress
OF our own war, and we have yet to learn OF the
first instance In which q paper Of high character
was deceived by Its correspondents. That Mr..
Stanley should be the first and the greatest OF
swndlers In that line; that he should lay himself
out to deceive the journal which had stood up to
him splendidly; that he should be guilty OF such
moral baseness and turpitude towards his en-
ployer is difficult for to credit than to take
as truth every word he has said In regard to his
adVentures.
