There are other aspsste more serious how ever under which the libel conveyed in the style of oritioism contained in the article may be contemplated, and not the least of these is, as it relates to carelessness or de- sign in exercising its power to misrepresent and thus give pain, by conveying an unjust innendo at the person aimed at, and in this case, I think, the inference of design, may fairly be inferred as the intention of the writer, his object being evidently to draw public attention to what he maliciously supposed would bring down public obloquy on the person referred to..

Mino-siang Ngan, Sept. 17th, 1878. For two weeks past great preparations have been in progress for a grand review, which was to be held in the presence of the Viceroy on the 17th of the moon. From morning till night nothing was heard but the discharge of musketry, varied only by occasional booming of field-pieces. Drills and parades were the order of the day. The landscape, viewed from the city wall, was alive with moving figures of scarlet and blac. The stockades were all excitement. Everything was in a forment and a bustle. Four men blew themselves more or less to pieces with gunpowder, one of whom died And yet, so high was shortly afterwards. the standard of excellence aimed at, that, as the great day drew near, the officers

You are not personally known to me, and whether you are, or are not the author of this article, I am nevertheless at a loss to surmise your motive in permitting this public attack upon my official words or deeds to be coupled with an offensive sllusion to an affair in private life, and which had no connection whatever in either time or place with the subject under review. This article implies that certain feats are not as they were roprosented by me, and that therefore wrong was designedly done in my repre- sentation of the case si Warnecke & Marçal, and at same time the writer endeavours to draw extraneous attention to a case of assault, having nothing whatever to do with the words or events he is passing under review, and I think the general public will look upon such cowardly proceedings in a pablic print as ill adapted to recommend with effect or propriety the cause you pre- tend to advocate, namely love of fair play, while you are malioionsly in fact practising its converse foul play, the course you took being to let slip the envenomed shaft, by
