but we think it may be said even now chat the minimum of responsibility which Mr. Marsh ought to bear for this misleading Minute referred to, has not been clearly set forth The public, bow- ever, know all about it now. If all had been done who is admitted by the Press itself to have been done-vizy that the Governor's special attention was called to at the previous papers bearing on the subject-our center- purary says it seems inconceivable that the release should ever have taken place.
