It is content tbat ita defense of Schley’s rights has brought to a limit those who sought to defraud her of them. It is unnecessary to name tbe parties, for they arc generally known and their motives under stood, and tbe Recorder has no personal lights to make—it battles for principles, rather than men. it was not the Recorder who “preci pitated this unpleasant and unnec essary issue,” but rather the parties who sought to abolish the rotation system and defraud Schley of her rights; but it is perfectly willing to assume all responsibility for all it has done in the matter and has no apologies to make.
