Last week, the good jieople of

article in the Cincinnati Enqui

one Fred S. Brown, to visit certain

Atlanta and several other places
before lie came to Macon. Here
lie spent two nights and a day,
and sent hack a vile letter full of
scandal and lies, reflecting main
ly on some of the best men and
women in the city. For down
right villainy and meanness, it is
declared by those who have seen
the article, it has never been sur
passed.
There are two things suggested
by this matter that are to he la
mented: The first is that any pa
per, and especially one of the
standing and influence ol the Cin

The second is that there should

There has been a large demand
for the paper of that date in this
and many neighboring towns—
and a heavy premium would have
been cheerfully paid for it.
Here is the sail part of it: that
this ties ire should exist—that tin-
tastes of the | cople should call for
papers that deal in the real or ini
aginary scandals of society. It is
a sad commentary on human na
tore that the New York Police
Gazette, so infamously soiled and
impure as to lie shut out from the
United States mail, and debarred
from sale in many of the cities ol
the different States, should yet
have a larger circulation than any
other one journal in the Union.
It is a fact patent to all observ
ers, that there is a strong tendon
cy in many of our leading dailies
to go off after not merely the sen
sational, but the scandalous things
of our society, and this strong
leaning is justified by those guil
ty of it by the reply that there is
a demand on the part of the peo
pie for scandal.
