I'D HE PUBLIC.

The reading portion Of this commu-
nifty have doubtless observed that a dls-
or..ion Of somewhat personal nature
h., been going on Tor the past few days
N the columns of the two morning
.,a,s-.be Intelliqsrcer and REGISTER,
Within the two past months, two sePsr-
ste qusrrels OF this nature have taken
nlsce between the two papers. In
both instances, the intelligent
reader has doubtless observed, the Intel
yosneer made the first assault; and in
each instance the assault WAS utterly
without provocstion. The first one was
made by the IntsLtigeneer upon the ed
itor OF the REGISTER al the time the
latter paper was selected by the Council
20 do the official advertising OF the city;
snd the second. because we saw ut

giniss most accomplished citizens,
Hon. CHARLES j. FAULKNER. In
neither instance did the REGISTER re-
for in any way to the IntsIIigencer or its
editor. Both these bitter personal as
ssults of that paper upon the editor OF
the REGISTER, the reader will have him
self observed, were without the slightest
excuse, and were base and brutal in their
nature.
In all newspaper offices of any stand
ing, there exists an unwritten law which
10 observed as rlgidly as the best estab-
lished feature of the common law OF
civilized nations is observed by the
courts. 1t is this: That the editor OF no
newspaper OF character and influence ever
seeks quarrel with, or makes an attack
upon, the editor of another paper deemed
by him Of less standing or influence than
himself. He is as free from doing so as
8 gentleman Is of seeking street brawl
with recognized blsckgusrd. The very
lsct of his seeking quarrel Is an
acknowledgement that he feels and fears
the Induerce and character of the one he
endssvors to pull dowa.
Barring the above in mind, the reader
will At once see that the best witness we
can call to the stand to establish the good
character Of the editor Of the RSGIsTEB, or
the blss character Of the editor OF the
IntsLltgeneer. is A. w. CAMPBELL him.

to prove the lslsty OF his boasted superb

WASHINGTON.
SILVER THREADS AMONG THE
GOLD.
Ffffy-two Senators, Exactly Two
thirds, Claimed I'm Favor
Of RECOMMENDATION.
The Proposed Reduction of Tax on
Tobacco.

WASHINGTON, January 19.-The sub
committee of the House Committee on
Ways and Means, having under consid-
Grafton the proposed reduction of the tax
on tobacco, to-day heard representative
of the firm OF Lorlllard & Co., of New
York, who protest against the reduction,
and also against any further sgi-
tation of the subject claiming
that either will greatly Injure the busl-
ness, and should the reduction be agreed
on by Congress it will be- impossible to
allow it 10 remain at lower figure then
it is at present. No conclusion was
reached by the subcommittee.
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer telegraphs as fol-
lows to that paper, as TO the feeling in
both the Senate and the House on the
silver bill:
silver I'm tine senate.
Senators Merrimon and Msxey both
announced themselves for silver, and de-
livered long speeches in favor OF remone-
tizstion to-day. Both speeches were able,
but neither attracted much attention.
The silver men have now canvassed the
entire Senate thoroughly, and figured up
Just So, or an exact two-thirds, whom
they profess to believe will vote for
BANDS Bill with Allison's amendment,
which limits the yearly coins1e
to $4,0O0,00O, and the Senate Commit
tees amendment, which strikes out the
free coinage clause. The fiity-two
whom the most sanguine OF silver men
claim as checked off on the list which
Senators have agreed upon are as fol-
lows: Allison, Armstrong, Bailey, Beck,
Bullock, Cameron OF Wisconsin, Cam
eron OF Pennsylvania, Chsfee, Chris
tisncy, Cockrell, Coke, Conover, Davis
of Illinois, Davis of West Virginia, Den
mis-, Dorsey, Eustis, Ferry, Garland,
Gordon, Grover, Harris, Hereford, Howe,
ingalls,, Johnston, Jones of Florida,
Jones of Nevada, Kellogg, Kirkwood, D.,
Matthews, Ms1ey, McCreery, McDon-
aid, Mcmillan, Merrimon, Mitchell
Morgan, Oglesby, Patterson, Plumb
Ransom, Sargent, Salisbury. Sharon
Spencer, Teller, Thurman, voorhees,
Wallace, Window and Withers. 1t is
certain, however, that this list is too
large. Senator Butler, who WAS unde-
cided when he came on, and has been on
the tencs for some days, has at last got
down on the gold side. Yesterday he
told your correspondent that he had
decided to vote against the silver bill.
Patterson, who is also counted in this list,
has not put in an appearance IN the
Senate yet, and the chances are he will
not be present to vote on the silver bill
Kellogg and Chaffee also are both shsky.
Hence is sac to say that forty.nlne is the
outside which the silver men can count;
and to get this they must get their full
vote. The silver men realize this state
of affairs, though they dislike to admit it,
and are therefore rather nervous through
fear of veto.
