Noiv, Mr. Ofady, I like editors—tbeynio respectable fnniity of lioopte, nnd I sup pose can’t lie bought—for a less price than other folks—everybody hns his price, nnd so hns editors, I suppose.

Some organs .sell party high, nnd some less, according to muafe, and it is nmusin toseeeuiuhnngo their boss. Now, I’m In for.all the ftm that can bo enjoyed, nnd after a popr editor hns woro out his wains and Ids Body lyin on ono side, I think its good for Ills constitution to turn over nnd fie on tho other.

Willingham enjoyed it, and sodid Fitch, and they talk out of school. Fiteli snys there aint but. two honest editors in Georgia—one of whom ho is which, und modesty forbids him to uarno tlio other.— There is a heap of competition for that othyr—and I don’t knpw who’l git it, but I rnlher supposed it. -would ho between Whitaker’s front and Dr. Bard's rear. But, tlio Mention is, were the Excursion a suckei-ss? One tiling is certain, I’m in favor of bavin cm once a year, just for tho ftm of tho tiling. It wns a glorious occa sion. nnd done tho editors good. The trouble with editors is Hint they can sec oilier people’s faults, hut they can’t seo their owti. Nobody ever writes ebont em—every ono praises the other’s pnpersi They even sny they are gratified that you, Mr. Ilenry, have fied your time and tal ents to sueli nu able sheet as Mr. Dtvi- ncil’s! Great spoons! Good sakes! ns Col. Akin would say. Bat 1 shnut make any inueiidocs. I’ll refer tho matter to Filch. Editors can write ns fool things ns anybody, but nobody dare to tell 0111 of it. Tho reason is nobody have got a pa per to fight back in. I’ve thought 1 would buy n paper, but then If I did I suppose I would jino the fraternity nnd stand tip to itty crowd. But Hie question is, was tlio Excursion a suckcess? Ilulhevt says it was, and Hulbert is a man of parts. 1 might say he wns a whale, nnd Hint tlio Press was Jonah—hut I wont mnko such painflil al lusions—nevertheless, jrulbevtwasasuek- ccss-rthnt’s certain. He got tho editors in the cautions State. 'They whispered “cat in tlio theft! tub,” mid he hollered hi a great big, double bass voice, “IRON.” They said there’s poll licks In all this, nnd ho shonted, “enal—anthracite -hematite —marble—gold,” mid they hushed, and went along as gently ns a drove of hogs Ibllcrin a leaky corn wagon.
