That should he papeis refuse to acceiil the amount >t $2.50 each, instead of $5 each, (the established price,) the candid.iteo would iot announce iii either paper. This ret ion of the Executive Conimitee looks like an attempt at coeicion, .vhich we think is unfair. The Times ias always been liberal and fair even to hose who from motives satisfactory to themselves, saw (it nottoannounie in its columns.
