A;rk that the ISTELLiGRScER has been
syiny something unkind OF the Rgi'ter,

Monday to flash article, on the first page
oI,bs Rtqisltr Of Sunday, taken bodily from

4,Dacisl letter from staff correspondent
IN article not lit to so into any decent
family, palmed off with the shameless

ostrich policy it does not mention the

Of what It is all about.
The ISrELLlGENcER has at hand scissors
and paste pot, but it has no desire to "use
The same untiring energy" which, with ac'
comuOdaliug conscience, furnishes, as orig

1.-The people OF Wheeling want such read
in, as oIends decency and inaAmes i'm
mature minds, it is only fair to tell them
where it eau be had at first hands, without
the interposition OF a "staE correspondent
who does aot exist. We should be sorry
tOthink that many OF the people reached
bya Wheeling newspaper want this kind
Of reading, but perhaps the Register knows
its own constituency. There is no envy
about this. The sun does not envy the
moon. We have some regard for the good
name OF Wheeling, and ior the fair fame OF
West Virginia journalism which, il it can
not be great, can at least be honest and
clean. 80.
