The Torringten Daily Register of Nov 18th says:
 This weeks Canaan NEWS re-publish- es 8 letter written to the Register of October 18th, from Cornwall Bridge, which sharply criticised the manage ment of town affairs there, and publish es an answer to it by a resident of Corn wall, who denies the charges and says they must have been made by ''sore- head" Evidently the author of the second article took 1t for granted that the Register would not publish this communication, hence he wrote the NEWS. The article in the Register was written by our regular correspondent, a man of character, and who alone IS re- sponsible for it's statements.
 The correspondent of THE NEWS is al- so ia man of character" Furthermore, he is prepared to back all assertions he made in THE NEWS. However, the proper place for his letter to appear was in the Register, whose editor tries to shirk the responsibility of publish ing the original charges and who seems to think that THE NEWS correspondent evidently took it for granted that the Register would not publish a reply to the original charges. If the Regis ter is anxious to right the wrong done the people of Cornwall it should pub- fish the reply which appeared in TH1 NEWS. The Register should not try 10 place the responsibility on it's cores pondent, and it ought to know that principals are responsible for the acts of their agents.
