Ino pre- or uC-on would nelp to cOT-
 rect some wrongs. aud tend to Keep
 alive h healthy sentiment for the right
 Things of public interest shodld nct
 be purposely overlooked to screen some
 guilty sinner, nor should a communi Y
 be bliDded by apologeiic, half-told
 trnths, and right here the question is
 sugyested-wby were not the revelations
 Tn court during the past week on the
 Lord S Williams failure reported?
 My dear sir, think I can safely gay
 that this, and every other communit,
 wants the electric light of the press to
 shine forth on everything that relates to
 the best interests of the people. and
 tiat whije-waSh tubs should be sent to
 the rear. C.E. DALEY.
 Chairman Com. of Creditors.
 WE have iudulged Mir. Daley to the
 extent of his asking. We have denied
 him nothing. He has had free use of
 the columns of the CITIZEN, and if he
 has failed to inform the pubic and raise
 popular indignation it is his own fault.
 His Insinuations as regards ourself are grouudless. If We look at matters Tn a different light from MT. Daley we do not accuse him with being leagued
 with the devil to defraad mankind. We never smother truths, but We avoid making false and groundless statements
 We do not, nor will we, attack any man or set of men unless we have something upon which We can stand--unlsss we can make out a case against them and bring them to trial. The thousands of matters of right and wrong winch an editor must judge between and take bis choice, is not comprehended by MT. Daley. It would be little too saintly to say We are always rIght-never wrong. In MT. Dailey's zeal and bitterness against Hudson * Co.,, he distor.s what he reads, unless it breathes maledictions upon the heads of Hudson < Co. When he insinuates that We have attempted to smother in- formation or gloss over crimes and wink at the same, he is making a statement that the facts do not justify. We have given all the NEWS there was to give, and gone so far as to allow him to assist us m looking up and writing it out, but because we do not see fit to Bssail Hud- son < Co. Hs robbers, etc, Mir. Dali ley finds fault and covertly insinuates a falsehooi that we are in league with cer- taIh parties to do injustice to men who have lost money through Hudson < Co. To such insinustions we have to say they are ingeniously woven and cslcu- lated to deceive the people, hence 1t is necessary to put our heel upon them at once and for all. When this failure came about We looked the field over after the first shock, and determined that 6 con servative course on our part in the mat ter would produce more good effect than to take a sensel-ss, radical course. The mischief had been done; the fail ure came about and the assignment was made. We condemn the failure as much IS MT. Daley. We hold that no bank ought to fail, and cannot fail if they do business as banking business should be lone. Mir. Stiles was made assignee, and knowing Mr. Stiles as We do, and as we have eudeavored to learn, we became satisfied that the business could not be placed in better hands, and
 kn atan minds We have not the slightest | loubt, but that the business will be | wound up as honestly and ss econo- nically as if MT. Daley was the receiver.
 As to our "back- bone" which troubles rierd Daley, we are pleased to say that he spinal column which plays such an important part in his estimation has trength enough We hope to stand for he right. and ID doing so do no man njustice. There is strength enough to ay to MT. Daley that he Is wrong in is position and that he IS deceived by lany of those who profess to be m ympathy with him. We have had realtors, men who are close to MT. bailey, corce to us and ask us to ssist them to reinstate Messrs. Hud- )n x Co.,: our answer has been. no; leir credit was gone; confidence was one; and it would be impossible; thers have voluntarily come to us and ersonally approved our course, who ere perfectly satisfied with MT. Stiles , the assignee; but truce to these
 they come from one ho is over jealous and who can ,t see reason in any position that ,poses him, but now we believe it time to say something about the re- ,ivership. Mir. Daley proposes to peti- on the Judge of this district to initiate e which is to eventuate in re- { owing the assignee of Hudson < Go. , Id to substitute for him a receiver of f & own appointment The motive of , e petition is to be sought from a small ( ,rcentape of the creditors who have ,ned such petition, representing but action of the total indebtedness of the
 Ink. That motive may be as various the mental dispositions of the peti- ,pers and as in the nature of peti- ,n. no inquiry can be made into the tual facts, because the Judge IS with It power to command the presence of Iyone interested in opposing the pet- ,ners; the court would be compelled take as true all the allegations made
 the petition. In case the Judge ould so determine and issue the pro- ss of the court to remove Mr. Stiles t
