If we had known that our feelings would Is* so lacerated by the onslaughts of the Jour nal we would not have called at I tention to the allowance. It shatters our faith in the Journal. It has heretofore been so willing to criticise officers of the county, we had no doubt but that it would point out to the city clerk the error of his way. But we are grievously disappointed. We are now willing to drop the matter and concede that a three cent Johan Faber pencil is g<Msl enough for democratic county officer but that nothing short of a6l cent A. W. Faber pencil will do for a Republican city officer. With this concession we will expect the Journal to apologize for the harsh language used towards us.
