Not High-Toned.

One of the charges brought against the Chronicle is that it is a “high-toned” paper. The Argus and several other papers are fond of heaping up denunciations upon uh for this; and then to show that they are not of that class, they call us by a great many very naughty names. Our chief rock of offending seems to be that we will not say “You-’re another,” and then bedraggle the columns of the Chronicle in the mire, by calling naughty names in return.
