cid Aliens Diary.

Despite the Chicago Journals pointed
| and conscientious article about 'sneak thief
| journalism" brought ont by the publica
| zion of what purported to be extracts from
| E. +. Aliens private diary. we feel that
| enterprise in journalism is better than con-
! science. and thus actuated by desire to
keep pace with the journalistic progress of
the day, we have committed the same fault
/ for which the Tribune was berated. We
/ have obtained possession Of the private
diary Of Governor Allen. of Ohio, from
/ which we subjoin few extracts. How we
| obtained our information we say because,
! as the Governor Of North Carolina said to
the Governor Of South Carolina. ST we
told where we obtained our information
ws would soon be wnable TO obtain any iu-
formation

manuscript are written in cOnjectural Chal-
daic hieroglyphic characters, and are evil

able old Fog-horn was "a boy. The dates OF
the entries are in many cases illegible. One
OF the first paragraphs reads:

father says there was fearful! row about

the pile. an has skedaddled, and E.au is
