Sa nnch for public matters.
Tka Standard of tbe 15th inet. cbsrgf^d t*-e EJitirsot
’.his paper with having “irade fortune* during tbe war
)«t of tbe necassitied of the (leople.’’ In the Obcorver
■f tho 18th wa made the followiug reply;
-“Naithcr they ^the agenta of the town aoil county) so
far as we know, nor we. have “an abundance cf corn
and meat,” nor have they or we ‘•oade fortunes during
the war out cf the ne'Kssities of the people,” or out of
anyt^ng elM We caa speak with cerioicty as to our-
8«l»es, and we are pretty well “cleaned out” of corn
and mtat, havs not n.ade a cent by speculation, acd
are at just about the same distaBce from % fortune as
we were at the beginning of t*ie war We have h«d
abundant oppartuHitiri to make a fortune, and a large
one t»o; but bavp sot donf' it Some of tbe causes
why we have not were explained in rrodigicua edito
rial laudations of our patriotism, and liberality, and
•undry othar good qualities, which appeared in the
K%l«)igh Standard very frequently Siiuie months ago.
Parbapg tbe Standard will prove w'nat we say by r«-
>-nhii8hitg some of then? As v' never publish 1 r re
publish elevar things said of the Observer, we wiil not,
as usual, prove tha Standard's present error hy an “ele
gant extract” from its* former sayings We oant ot oon-
dffct'tii to such a deepicikble wiode of poliiicaliararfar',
or wo mifbt retart in k'nd np->n t’e &t'iDd»rd. So far
a? w« can judee, f»w ic North CsroUna are cakini; so
much raoDsy as itg9lf, and by what eeem to us to be cx-
ttnionaie prices for what, it hM 10 sell But we may
not judge corrtctly, and we do not iike to speak of
ikiaga of which we krwv notWng, tii'r of any man’s pri.
vats business aff^irs 5f we knew all abcut the5D. We
have never been able to see the pr ;rif\y of newspap'^r
meddling ia su«h mattere The gt^ad.'ird appears Jo
entertain well aettlod different view! .More tkin twenty
years aga it was falpely assailing this paper in tbe same
■tanser as now.”
Of oourse the Stata»ri—which v«r; s.lemnly pledged
itself some months ago to cop^ in full koy article of tha
Observer'to wbioh it replied and has persistently and
aai/orsaly vi«!ai«d its pledge aincf?—bas not copied a
word of this If *t ha>l ddne so its rtaders would have

anything that anyboij thcught would be a public im-

Standard much traub'e to know, that tbe only two which
have »ver yielded sit- pi;' ;n ere«t upon tbe invoi ment,

have eocapcd the abuse of these vrt o, like tbe St indsrd,
think evil, aitribut.Eg everything,, to a sordid mo
tive. We are not aware that we c^n r. tcrt upon the
Standard in thi« particular, for we have never thought
it wrrth while to inquire whether atiy of its earaings
have ever been simiUrly invested, nnJ we never heard
it a^cusod pf tuding any public improvejsente.

these private mattere la crdinnry time-ithey would not

causa, through us as its advocates, and an such they re
quire and bsl^e reoeivea this correction. That they are
mis statemsBts thu Standard is doubtless quite as well
aware as we are Its own files con'ain the testimony, edi
torial andoffieial, that its present statetr-enfs are utterly
un^oundfd. S'lme of these d*ys, for ‘party purp.ses’ the
Standard may admit that it made them unly for “party
purposes,” just as sora‘ time ago we a.-e informed that
it confessed that it used to abubc Gov Uraha:n. ?Jr.
Badger, Gov. Vance, Mr Gilmer and many othen a«
untrue to the Peuth, not becauee they were so, but, for

A I'.w word^ in reply. And 1st, as to the unpopu-
l-.rity of th* Observer. We re£tr the Standard for ac
curate iafornation to tbe Pobtmaeter and paper roakei-
here. From them it may gather aonre faots vp^ un-
palatsable to hself, and not’ overly pleasant to ui>, for
wa are worked abcut to the limit of human endurance
n^w. The Ouaerver iias not been losing money, aa the
tiix we paid last week on its profiu saows. Its ctrsu-
lAiion is increasing with great r.tpidi!.y. It »as not
iD.'eed been making.sj much money for our work as it
^ught. Tha reason Waeetat^d on the let inet. We are
I I'Ji'i to add a oeat to the price of any thing, for euci sd-
1 tiui uH are irjuriousinmany waye, and wa are waiting fo
'«» wtiat action Congress may take in regard to the
turr«ucy. If what we hope can be aooomplishi d an in-
I ur« .B* of price may be uanecesuary If not. wo shall
I ^v)uco rates, though to no euch figures as the Stan-
I whioh eharges four times (aot twice, as U says)
I M smch as we do, vi*: doubU rat s for half ihe paper
I *>t' course we kt:ow nothing of the c'.’nditiou of the Stan-
I d ri’B basiness. But we are practical priuterp, bred
I to tbe trade at whioti we have worked* in ai? its branch
I 6) ditily for miay yeers, and now harder than ever bo-
I and we do know that the rates of the Sts^udard ap-
plitid to our large list of subscribers would yield us a
csi profit of teventy five thoutand dollars ptr annum:' We
ould call that a rospecfabje fortune.

Mob L.\w—The Raleigh Standard affects to think
that theOb>^erver wishfs i*sofi5cemobbed. Thereu v r
was a greater mistak Tai.'« paper has ever ^. ea an I
will ever be the e vrnest upnolder of thb Law. But iptrt
fr*/m that, if we were an advocate of mob laV'', we
should most earnestly deplore mob law against the
St&udard, for that would pUce in its posxeesion the
much coveted crown of martyrdom. We never heard
cf the api‘l;catidn oi mob law without mopt earnestly
condemning it, and never but once without an uatnix*d
feeling of abhorrejiice. Tnat once was the mobbing by
the Standard’s “friAds”—so the Standard callei them
—of the State Journal office In that case, much as
we deplored the violation of law and the destruction of
individual properly, there was a feeling (wljic t cvi-
denMy pervaded Kalsigb and tee Slate and prevented
further violeoce ) that tbe cviia had been somewhat
equalized on both sides It was a great political blunder
of the Standard's party, snatching at once tge crown
of a martyr from the head of its chie , where the Oeorjria
ec.ldiers had foolishly placed it. As suob, the Standard’s
snapping and snarling ever since lias conyincod us
tbat that paper too late recogniiad it. We fear that
ito conetant talk about mobs s^nd threats of vengeance
upon mobbers are only an invitation—a “dare”—for the
repetition of tbe folly of the Qjorgia.is In adiifion
to the better reasons for refraining, let all remember
thit tp mob tn« Standard office ia only to play into its
Uauis!. We think it oaly right to ailvisa the Standard
that this talk about mob Uw cornea with an exceeding
1 grace from that p-»per So far aa we know it was
the first paper in the Confederacy to threaten those
wtio are for “the Constitution aa it is and the Union as
it was”^ with tue code of Ju ’ge Lynch. W'aen^oa July
24, 18til, the Standard published the following editorial,
we suppose it had not dreamed that it w;i8 destined to
be the leader ot those whom it threatened then witti
swift det-.lTUOtion;’'—
• Fro*u the Raleigh Standard, Julv 24, IStJf.
“TAe Old Union —‘We eoncuc with tho West'^ra Sen-
fiael. that “no ma'tcr how much we (uuy have loved the
