NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.

“ Climax.” We eannot find room for your letter, even if it were put in readable form. We really do not care two straws for your opinion of the individual to whom you allude ; and in answer to your question as to whether he is positively going to leave “ the Bay,” we may state it is a matter of perfect indifference to us: we neither know nor care. As you seem to think so much of your friend, “ singing and all,” you should have sent your communication to the Herald, “ Scrutiny ” Under the circumstances, we do not intend to publish the second letter with which you hare favored us. No good cause requires to be narrowed down to personal abuse. Mr. Caulton may deserve all the hard names you call him —although from an acquaintance with him for many years, we believe he does not deserve them—but even so, it should not act against his right to stand his election for the Council if he choose to do so. You have no right to consider a man a target, at whom to cast malevolent slurs, because he seeks to occupy a public position. Besides that, your effusion is grossly libellous; and partakes of the cowardly under cover of a fictitious signature.
