OLD BusINEss.-The editor of the Reporter
founders through half a column in his last issue
to explain himself ont of the smart trick he
played on correspondent relative to c. S.
Cobb's business, but only makes the matter
worse. To add to his meauness, he now divulges
the contents of confidential business letter
He says be received letter signed C. S. Cobb,
and, being familiar with our hand, at once con-
cluded that that was our hand, disguised. Just
look at the smartness. He was perfectly familiar
with our hand, whereby he kne W that it was not
our ordinary hand, but was disguised! He then
took it to others who were familiar with our
hand, and they recognized it as ours-that is, it
would have been ours, had it not been disguised!
He ran around town with this confidential bus
mess letter, asking people if somebody wasn't
trying to catch him up something! Then,
before replying to the letter, he wrote to Troy,
asking if such a person as C. s. Cobb lived here.
On being informed in the negative, he was con-
vinced that we had done it, and didn't answer it
at ali, but made the letter the subject of slur
in his paper. He knew we were mp to such
tricks and believed this was one of them. 1t is
impossible for a person to disguise his hand by
making it better than be can write. The gentle
no reason to doubt il, writes better hand than
we possibly can wrte-a peculiarity about it be-
ing, that the letters about alf-way between
written and printed form, and very frequently
the letters of a word are not connected together
with the usual fine stroke. 1t is his ordinary
hand, and not a particle of disguise about it.
He being printer himself, we can't approve of
his negotiations to cnt prices; but it was his
own business, and he was entitled to business
courtesey. By reference to Sheriff's sale in
another column, it will be seen that c. S. Cobb
is not an imaginary person. and did not write for
a "catch."
Now, if the Reporter will deign to give a civil
answer to a civil question, We will ask him when
he ever knew of us writing letter to him under
false name for any purpose, or to any other
person. And what object does he suppose We
could have in soliciting him to reduce his prices
on work which could do ourself, and get full
price Tor it' He has several letters from us, all
signed with our proper name, and has never re-
ceived any other kind from us. Besides, we nev-
er wrote him a htter asking him to cut down
prices-all we have ever written him about prices
was with view to keeping them up to the reg
nlar standard
The editor of the Reporter had better aeknowl-
edge that he has made egregious ass of him
self, and flew off the handle without sufficient
cause. Business men will please take notice,
and learn what ordeal their correspondence must
pass through, before the suspicious and over
smart editor of the Reporter will condescend to
ply to them.

Y gentleman the other day overheard ex-
Governor Smallwood, on q railroad train, blow
ing his bazoo about how he had used MS up
hadn't left particle of u.s. He said, since lie
had written those articles, they had attracted at
tention everywhere, and he had received letters
from all parts of the State, inviting him to come
to divers places, and write for a salary. He was
capable of doing better than editing little pa
per at Waterville. He had received an invita-
tion from company at Abilene, and another
from Fort Scott, and had been offered $1,000 a
year to write just such sharp articles. But he
intended to look around for something better.
We learn that he has looked, and is working at
Topeka for 81 day, and boarding at the Teft
House at $3.50 per day!
