whose claims are much stronger, since
i'm many instances their ancestors lost

who derive the greatest benefit from
war or public cOmmotion are looked
upon as deserving more at the hands
Of their country than the mon who

it to the civil department of the gov

penury and distress that their "super-

The New York Sun has been "off it's
base" on several points the last few
months; but the first out-and-out false
hood-a falsehood patent to every body
who basks in the light of the great
luminary, and shown as such by its
own rays-that we have seen in its
columns, was that in reference to Gov.
Crittenden on the 2Sth ult. It copies a
paragraph from the Post Dispatch
though said-and caps it with lie.
The p. DPS reporter represents Gov.
Crittenden as having said, "If some
paper was not making charges against
me / should scarcely feel as if 1 were
doing my duty. To tell the truth,
don't care a d-n what they say" To
this item the Sun puts its own head
ing: "The Governor D-ns the News
papers," Now Crit. may, or may not,
scare q d-n" for what the newspa-
pers say,of him. He may have even
used the language attributed to him;
but no fair-minded person can construe
that sentiment into dining the news
papers" If such were the case every
Christian in the land would be guilty of
dining every irresponsible scallawag
who spoke i'll of him. Besides, if
man doesn't care DID," he doesn't
care to d-n.

In fact, they can't hold a candle to the
Magazine publisher. There is lying be-
fore us a Southeast paper of the better
class with "local' notice of one OF
these magazines, containing thirty-sev-
en- lines. At ten cents per line, the
usual charge, this would represent
$3.70-a pretty fair price for a periodi-
cal sold everywhere for 30 cents! But
this is not all: in addition to these
monthly notices, the paper published
an advertisement which, charged for
at the usual rate, would have cost at
least $40. Take the notices, one each
month, at, say So each, and the pros
pectus at $40, and the publisher OF the
paper i'm question pays just SAG for
twelve numbers of a magazine that are
sold to every body else forS3! But, aft
er all, that these thing are, is the coun-
try publishers own fault. Just so long
rs he will work for next to nothing,
board himself, and take his pay in
chips and whetstones, just SO long will
he find lots of persons who will "pat-
ronize' his paper. To publish pros
pectus for daily paper in considera-
ton of Exchange" is right enough, and
the great daiIies are usually not ex-
acting in their demands. But the mag
azine business is a fraud, aud one that
could not be played on any other trade
or profession.
