The cause of failures in previous steamboat enterprises seem fo have been from bad management. If ‘bis Hine faiis it will Rot be from this cause. President Thompson is a thorough business man, and understands the necessity tor rigid Supervision ofaftairs, aud the closes: economy, where so many employees and agen‘s are con- cerned, and where so Many openings are af- forded tor “bleeding” tne line. He is insticuting reforms, pruniag down expenses ia the work- ing of the suips, remoying incompetent or un- faithful employees, and,in fact,if the enterprise Goes not succeed under his management, we shall despair of a line ever succeeding between the District cities and New York. The three sensations of New York are the new Jicrald office, the Turkish Baths, and the Black Crook. The public 1s familiar with the Turkish baths according to Ross Browne and Bayard Taylor, but may like to know how they are managed in Gotham. Four, only, of our party ha@ the courage to under- take the ordeal. The estabdii. nt is on htstreet. Upon entering we were called wy to register our mames, and our ‘val: bles” were deposited in a drawer, after which we were shown to curtaimed stalls where we upplied with & long strip of red cloth—it must ne red to be Turkish—to wrap around the waist. Then In addi The mercbauts of the Iistrict cities +0 me oe CHING + mee i lar. we were ushered into tne sweating room This was & room with a tiled floor and an im- Mense furnace occupying one entire end of the apartment. By tarne we were lead ‘oa water jet, which was ed upon onr heads. doubtless to wet and ¢ m for the dry best ofthe room. Strips of palm matting lead over the stoue floor to four reclining wooden chairs, near the inraace, and in these we were placed and left to simmer for some twenty minutes in a temperature of 143 degrees. On first entering the room the heat was oppres- sive, Dut as the perspiration began to start, the sensation was rather pleasant than otherwise. Shortly the perspiration began to develop in large beads and then ran down in streams from tbe body, i: so sypemed, by ac- cident or otherwise, that an estimable bu Stoutish official of the steamship company was seated near the farnace fire; and as the atiend- ant Turk (from Cork) passed throagh the Toom to ascertsin how we were cooking, our steamship friend inquired in what he evi- dently intended to be scorching sarcasm if he conld not “make it a little hotter!’ The Turk cheerfully responded that he conid, and wheeled the official to within a couple ot feet of the gloomy furnace, leaving him there ta sizzle. Out bounced the official upon the floor, but finding the tiles ata blistering heat back be scooted to his chair, but meantime the ‘wood-work of that article of furniture had got an extra touch of caloric from the glowing furnace, branding the official like the bars of 8 hot griddle as he dropped into his seat. Out he went again ina hurry, landing in the mid- dle of the floor, where he executed a series of lively nope, roaring lustily for the Turk mean- time to wheel his chair away from the fire. The attendant examined our condition from time to time; and when apparently all the moisture in our bodies had es- caped through the pores, supplied us with copious draughts otf water to furnish ma- terial for keeping up the sudorific process, We were next taken to an adjoining room, placed on marble siabs, and put through the shampooning proc: the surface of the body kneaded and pummeled from head to toe, and then we were rasped over with tufts of a sort of Ruessian grass that peeled off the skin at every touch. Then came the soaping process after which we were cold-showered and hot- showered, the contrast being so great as to cause the victim to involuntarily gasp for breath. Next we were taken to the swimming pool, where we were directed to plunge intoa tank of icy cold water. The official warmly and positively declined to submit to this last ordeal, and beat a retreat to his dressiag room, baying got all ne wanted of Turkish bathing forthe present. On emerging from the ice- water bath we were taken to a cool room. Wrapped in plankets from head to feet, and left for some fifteen minutes todry. We were Det supplied with sherbet and coffee, after the oriental style of doing up the thing: but found ourselves, despite the omission, in a tranquil and amiable frame of mind that told well for the process. Rw baths have been introduced into New York at an estab- lishmenton Broadway. The process is much the same as at the Turkieh baths, with the exception that hot vapor is used instead of hot Sir for the swesiing process. The son of the orient, Who waited upon us, told us that the baths were patronized extensively by the fast young men of New York, as a means o promptly sobering themselves after a spree. The new Herald office, on the site of Bar_ num s Museum. destroyed by fire, is undoul: edly the completest and best appointed ne paper establishment inthe world. With the exception of the press room the Hrra/d business is now in running order «tthe new building. ‘The press work is yet being done at the old office on Ann street. wbile (ae immense new eight snd ten cylinder Hoe presses are being set up in the capacionus subterranean pre room of the new establishment.

Without entering upon tedious details itis sufficient to say that no newspaper man can go through it without feeling that every, thing possibleaim the way of convenience, com. fort, working efficiency und good taste have been united im this estabiisument. The London Times office (visited by the writer some years Ago) ts a tenth rate concern as compared with the new Hergid office. James G Beanett, Jr+ now Mantiging editor of the Herald. has just returned trom Europe. In conducting tne Herald be bas shown bimsel! a genuine “chip of ‘he old block.” I tind him aniversally weld Spoken of amongst the newspaper men. aud tbe be'tefis that he will not only manage the paper with euergy. but being of atrank. genial nature, will make many more friends for it thin has bis brusque tatber, who, in his news- eer, has never asked or given odds. sisted As Spectators at the one hau. dred aud tbirty-third representation of the Black Crook at Nibio’s, Lt may be of in‘eres; to prospective visitors to New York to know that the great rush to seethis piece Is over,and thaf eligible seats may be secured without dufficulty, The bouse was perhaps two-thirds tull last night. The Black Croek bills are headed, » Tbis establishment does not adyer- tise in the New York Mrrai@”’ This seems intended as a crow of exultation over the fact that the play has drawn large houses, though not adverticing in the Herold, and ean, in fact. do without the newspapers. The point is bot quite appreciable. Doubtiess the Mer- establishments might maze a simular boast of success without adver- tisimg, but we venture to say that no theatrical establishment in New York fo run With attractions les: piquant and questionable than the Black Crook ba= found occasion for gloritication over the result of their quarrel with the Her- id. But it certainly seems strange to see the other New York papers taking sides with the manugers against the Herald, thus virtually deerying the advantages of advertising. 1: Would be deemed seif-stultification in the Inst degree fora physician. a lawyer or aclergy- man to underrate the importance of his cali- ing, but Bewspaper men do this in a thousand ways and then complain that the importance of (he press is underrated.

He saw no impropriety in allowing Dr. Boyd to Take « statement. E Dr. Boyd said tha’ he wiis <atisfied the reso- lution was intended for him; he had been told of it before hand. if they mtended to throw him overboard why don't they do it: butif they did it would not change hi< principles, lor he was above tt. The disturbance, be Wished to state, did notoriginate with him, and wished all bickering~ to cease. it made little difference to him whether he was in or out of the association, or whether or not he wa- elected to the convention. He woula ask betore he sat down if the resolutions intro- duced several weeks since by Mr. Hepburn were intended to apply to him. Mr. G. S. Hepburn (white) replied if the bis bee aoe suit the gentleman he may take them Dr. Boyd.—That is not an answer;if the gentleman says that they were not intended forme lam prepared to show that he made the assertion on the streets that they were ~. intended: hut he was beyond any such taint- ing.

H.© Jobnson and Mark Scott were also Kominatec. Mr. T. E. Smithson (white) and Benj. Lan- hum (colored) were appointed tellers. Mr. Bowen moved that the ten colored dete- Rates be first electad Mr. J. F. N. Wilkinson (colored) urged the deiegation should be at least haifand half: he ‘would favor ten white to five colored.

[Great confusion. in whitch Johnson used towards Wulkirson the words, “You scoundrel, you.” The Chair succeeded in restoring order, an Ain urged that no personalities be indulged in. Mr. Wilkinson continued, and remarked that he W&s not disposed to allow colored men to swallow up the convention. He underatood that the colored men were not ready ye', and did not intend at is election to place a col- ored candidate in fleid. Mr. J. H. Crane, ( white.) —That question has sot been determ. et. r.

He did not mean to say that the colored men were not qualified to hold office by any means, ‘The coun ‘as looking to the colored men e Distr: jet now. had been legislated bill, they could yote for t Ww fit. “If colored candidates are ne there will be ne mistake a to their principles, but as to the whites, they would have to pick out their trae friends trom «heir pretended friends. Dr. Boyd believed that colored men should bave the majority of the delegation. Mr. Sam- ner told bim that he would like to see one or two colored men elected tothe Board ef Al- dermen and a fair spriokling to the Council, for some of the present incumbents might sign—refusing tosit with the colored men aud then other colored men could be elec He wanted to see a black Aiderman alongside of Mayor Wallach. This would havea great effect on the pon-reconstructed States, The Gelegation should consist of at least ten col- ored men, and he would not object to all being colored. The motion that there be ten colored and five white delegates was carried, but one vote in tbe negative. The tellers bere took their place: Mr Crane suggested that tnking the vote by tellers would occupy too much time Mr. T. H. Barron (white) said for the sake of harmony he would withdraw bis name, and he proposed that others would follow, so asto Dave but fifteen, who could be elected viva voce Mr. Watson moved that the motion to take the vote by tellers be reconsidered, and that the election be riva voce; carried. Mr. J. F.M. Wilkinson moved that the Chair appoint the delegates. The Chair —1 would not do it for $5,000. Rev. W. J. Waiker suggested thatthe list be Teferred to & committee to make the selection of delegates. The meeting proceeded to elect delegates, each being called betore the yote was taken, and questioned as to whether if elected they Would support none but radicals, which they answered in the affirmative. The followin, lored delegates were eiect- ed: Rey. A. no, George H. Newman, Sampson Zetter, Rey. W. J. Walker, W. H Tallitero, W. Coale, R. H. Wilkinson, Arthar Pannell, Abraham Dyson, and J. T. C. Brown. : J. F.N. Wilkinson was not elected. J.L. Bowen was called before the meeting, bat Mr. Crane raising the question that it was bardly fair to send father and son to the con- vention, he declined. The following white delegates were elected: ‘ker, James Small, Henry M. Knight, Wm. Boyd, and William ©. Ba mberger. T. Williams’ name was placed before the meeting, when Mr. W. H. Wilson, (waite,) raised the question that Mr. Williams having by bis own admissions been a resident of Washington only ten months, was therefore Ot & voter, and could not represent the club. Mr. Williams a pee that he could repre. sent the clubas well as the gentieman, although he was not a veter. A colored man raised the question that the same objection applied to Dr. Boyd. The Chair ruled that Mr. Williams was not eligible; and as Dr. Boyd had been denied the Tight to register he would have to rule so im bis case also. Mr. Crane urged that it was highly, amproper to elect a citizen ot Virginia to represent the ‘ward, and the person was out ef Place who, under the circumstances, would attempt it Mr. Williams aid that he would abide vy the decision of the club on the question. Mr. Small remarked that at the last meetin, be bad spoken of Mr. Wiiliams’ character, and he bad since made inquires, and found that he wasa No.1 Radical, but by bis own admis- sions he was not eligible as a member of the convertion. Rev. Mr. Walker appealed from the decision of the chair, and ibe decision was sustained. Mr. Crane offered a series of resolutions, de- claring that the time bas arrived when the colored men's right to vote and be voted for should be recognized by the party, and that duty and expediency demanded that they shall in the coming election furnieh some of the candidates, and at least one on the general ticket: that the right of every man to own himself and the proaucts of his labor is a self- evident truth, and that those who assisted a slave to get his freedom committed no crime, that the registers in refusing to register Dr Boyd on the ground that be bad been sent to the penitentiary under the old siave law of the District, for aiding 8la\es to escape, placed 4 construction on the recent Iaw ne! wur- ranted by law or common sense, regarding the decision as an outrage upon the People, that to charge a man with baving commi't+d Sn infamous crime im aiding his fellow men to escape to freedom is to trifle with common sense, Gnd that those who made the law. the Jury who convicted, and the judge who sen- tenced Dr. Boyd were the persons who com- mitted an infamo rime, and if any one is to disfranchised i those who violate God's aw. Mr. W. Wilson moved to lay the resolution on the table, because they impeach the regis- tere: lost Mr. Williams—Now, where are you! Mr. Crane preceeded to argue his resoin- tions. and was replied toby Rev. A. Bowen, who ‘ook the ground that the registers cenia not go behind the isw. Mr. Bowen said that be would like to ask Dr. Boyd it he believed in the Trinity: he had been informed tha: the Doctor was not orthodox, and he couid not believea man or allow Bim to represent him if Be could Lot swear on the bibie Mr. Crane objected to the introduction of religious matters. The constitution gave every man the right to believe as he thought proper. Mr. Walker moved to refer the resolution to a committee. After considerable debate, in which Mr. Bower ssid he was here to defend the bible and was told by Mr. Urane that that woula do ‘na prayer meeting. the resolution was re. jected, and the meeting adjourned. oe - First Warp Rervrcicay Crun.—The reg- weekly meetung of this Club wax haid jasteyening atthe Union Bethel Caourch, on M street, the President, John F.

He states tbat the great object is not yet attained, as the Union 1s pot restored, ten States being denied participation in the Nauonal Government by the action of Congress. Such measures, if persisted in, will transform the Republic into a despotism. He deems the course of legisia- tion pursved by Congress as wholly unwar- ranted. and as fatal to the Union and Cons: tution as doctrine of secession. The legisia- ‘ion of the 29th Congress, tos large extent, was 4 series of usurpstions and infractions of the Constitetion. He argues that Congress has no more power under the Constitution toestablish military governments in the Southern States than ‘o institute xo order of nobility in Eag- land, 8n¢ claims that Congress assumed that Power only for the purpose of more thoroughly Accomplisbing tbe -ubversion of ate au- jority. If peress can legivlate for those States, it 14 not difficult to fore ee a lke mnter- ference im otber States, and the right of the e= to late (beirinternal affaus in their own way may benceforth be subject to the caprice of Congress.
