We are willing to bland on facts and true figures us regards our past business trans actions In thin city , and have hoped all the limn that It would not bo nocossury to go into print with our matters at ail. But It seems cruel to us to have tbo minds o ! the ueoplo polluted with a lot ot stuff brought to their notice tn nearly every Issue of a morn ing paper for the past tivo weeks. Sensational articles appeared nearly cvrry day during the session of tbo grand Jury , this being for a purpose that wni very evident on Its fuco.
