THAT ATTACHMENT srIT.

Because SutrO aSSailed the SENTINEL
and its proprietor and got worsted in
the contest, hi. lying organ. or the liar
who scribbles for his organ, is daily
heaping, mountain-high, low. vulgar
abuse on our devoted head. John /.
CHM, the miserable. corrupt wretch,
who would sell his birth-right for a

epistles from the eastern part of the
State to his masters organ, i'll which
we invariably come in for our full
share of the malicious ISLANDERS for
which, if for anything, his etfasions
are especially noted. We can stand it.
Indeed we are inclined TO view as com
plimcntary anything these dirty ours
may say against us. 1t is their prov

not be the hirelings of Su,ro a day if
they did not do it. Sutro himself sets
the example; it is his plan of the cam

to get his walking papers without
much ceremony. This is SO we'll I'M

has never confessed any of the many
thefts OF which he has been guilty.
Personal abuse from such a twain can
do no one the slightest harm.
These shameless rouges have lately
had a good deal to say about the at
tachment suit we instituted against
their master. They say our bill WAS
entirely too high, and ever If ii had
been ever so Reasonable. Sutro did o
know that he owed us anything. Pity
about that. Su:ro had been q sub
scriber TO the SENTINEL for the last
four years, and during the last eighteen
months he had not paid US a dime, al
though we forwarded his bill with
marked promptness and regularity.
lie was therefore $50 in arrears for the
SENTINEL. We charged him The mod
crate sum of $50 for advertising his
show one month, certainly a very
reasonable figure, and not one-half as
much as newspapers charge political
parties for similar advertisements.
Our account against Sutro, therefore.
aggregated $50. He knew lie was in

bill. We did not, nor do not. rccog-
nize him as a gentleman or honorable
man, and when he slipped out Of town
without settling with us, we promptly
put an officer on his track. When

tasamagorium, he disgorgcd. and this
is all there wa of the attachment suit
about which his dirty scribes have lost
so much sleep of late. Had Sutro be-
haved himself as 4 gentleman. we
most undoubtedly would have treated
him with becoming courtesy, but as
he failed to do this, failed to observe
the commonest rules of decency, but,
instead, made a grossly abusive and
slanderous attack upon the SENTINEL

and his malicious scribblers don't lik,
