DSL. .MINUTOM, FRlUXf, DKC. *2. Aflua! Word About the City Printing. Every Evening thinks we failed to give a reason the other day for our opinion that itajelaima to a part of the city printing are " plausible rather than just," to use lta version of our remark. We certainly thought we gave a reason, theugh we did not do so very extendedly, simply because we, had in mind the same resolve which our respected cou temporary es presse* when It says that it does not mean to take a hand in the fight for spoils that seems brewing among Wilmington newspapers. The Gazette has never sought the city printing since Council has been Republican, and the resolutipc with reference to the city ordinances was passed without the slightest iustlgation or suggestion on its part, or on the part of any one connected with it. At the same time we cannot but approve the plan embodied in this resolution as a sensi ble and business-like method for securing the widest publicity of the ordinances and also as a matter of justice to a large number of our citizens who under the recent rule of advertising only in Republican papers were compelled to go outside of their regular family journal in order to learn anything of the provisions of such new ordinances as might be passed from time to time. If you ask any man of ordinary intelli gence who knows anything of the matter, how to best reach the most people of a com munity through any two of Its newspapers, nine chances to one he will tell you to select one paper of each political party. This Is the idea we had in view as the reason for our opinion that Every Evening '* claims were " more plausible than just" when we said " one paper of each political party reaches 11 all the {»copie of any community much " more thoroughly than it can be done in " any other way." Rut after all, the question is one concern ing which we do not Intend to be disturbed, let Council do what it may in the piatter. We merely express our opinion that, as the matter now stands, Council has made a wise and equitable disposition of the city print ing, but we hope, if the question is again opened, that not one of its members will allow this approval of their action to weigh a single iota in our favor. The reeeptaclc for stolen goods, at Third and King streets, seems to think that it would have a bearing upon the question, but we take pleasure in saytug that we have a better opinion oi Council than that, though a majority of Its members are Republicans and consequently our political foes, but, we hope, not our personal enemies. tho It According to hi« own admission Street Commis aiouor Zebley which he failed to render serviee, in inspect ing tut two cesspools dug by a citizen, aud taking pay for five. Thu*, he not ouiy dis regarded hi» duty to tba city, but gave official bauet ion to a work he kuew nothing about, »Imply taking it for granted \ that it wo» all right, and thereby permitted a palpable violation of the 1 appertaining to the digging of cesspool*. Hud matter been called to the at tention of in^Aigard ot Health it would have escaped detection thu» proved an en couragement to others ^violate a law the strict observance of which i» necessary to the health and comfort of the people. •pted fees for a Thr Tnntu and Kino htrekt »beet, the Daily Dix;/ race, conferee that the promi nent coal merchant, the toe of whose boot it ha» just metaphorically encountered with auch disait rou» effects to iu very »mall piece of mind, really succeeded in insulting not only one, but "ail connected with that Vpaper." Really this is almost equal to the d time miracles. To have performed the \ult feat ol insulting one of that tribe Nnie would have been noteworthy, but \trate at a »ingle stroke the callous i of "Old man Vernon aud the boys" \ hired man" Hersey, too, is * r -o8t astounding example of wholesale moral surgery. : adly Tils desperation of the Daily Disgrace over it» failure to secure all of the city printing i6 doubtless augmented by the re membrance of its failure to bribe a former Clerk of Council, when the Democrats were in control of that body, by offering him ten per cent, of its bills for printing. If it shall have the temerity to attempt a like dis graceful transaction with the present Clerk we have no doubt it will be spurned with the same contempt that it met at the hands of Clerk Frazer. f The news thief's idea of cultivating business relations with advertisers is to praite those who patronize its columns and curse those who don't; hence, its inference that the Gazette was moved to make a just temark concerning a recent action of Coun cil because it had received a few orders for l \ty printing was a perfectly natural one it to draw. \ f>SB word with respect to the market i et removal so far it affect» Madison p-nefc between Eighth and Ninth : What ber the property holder» may have to say nut the change, the resident», whose iahes should be consulted, arc almost to a an—and woman, too—opposed to aoy arket on that part of the street fronting Kir houses. Those punctilioub people who aceuee tic Board of Health of presumption in claiming the service» of wfllciala should remember that a» the law now stands "the Street Comaiszioner, the "high constable, and all the police of the "city are offlt*rs of the Board, bound to "uAfteut« its orders." certain city We really don't know that we ought to •ay anything In reply to the Third etreet thief» raving. of yeeterday, except perbape remind tt oi a memorable occasion, not ▼cry long ego, when it groeelled in the duet the feet of a gentleman of this city to escape the legal coneeguencee of ita Hbeloae language, and to want It that a repetition of that degrading experlenee may be In etore for It again at no distant day ; that Is if we choose to let It off on terms so own estimation. We feel though that we ought to apolo gise to our readers for besmirching our columns with the name of such a dtareputa iy In lta ble blot upon civilisation aa the fake pre tenae at Third aud King streets, but wa in tend to bring this matter to a bead right here and now. We, therefore, publicly and emphatically charge the Republican, a dally paper ot this city, published by George W. Vernon A Sons, and edited by Solomon Hersey, with having deliber ately and wilfully stolen valuable news property rightfully belonging to other*—and appropriated It to Ita own use In open and flagrant defiance of every principle of decency and honor, and In direct contraven tion of that great moral law which aays "thon vbalt not steaL'' If there Is any plainer form by which a charge of moral theft can be more clearly and explicitly stated we shall be glad to hear ot It. We don't want to be misunderstood. We say that the Republican Is an habitual thief In the strongest meaning that the moral law can give that term and we are prepared to prove tho charge by evidence of the most In disputable character. Now, to Its libelous abuse of the Uszxttb I n yesterday's Issue with reference to the city printing we have only this to say : It must now sod at once cease Ita vile slanders and learn in the future that deference of language due to lta betters or we shall con sider whether it will be worth the while to make It answer at the bar ot justice lor the grosa libels it has dared to utter against this paper NOTES AND COMMENT».
