Patible with his ministeria! duties, M, Demeter Guika, President of the Council of Ministers at Bucharest, has received from the Sultan the Medgidie of the first class. According to the New Free Press of Vienna, Count Beust is about to publish some despatches confir- matory of his recent statement that Austria had en- deavored, but without success, to establish better relations with Prussia, ‘The action claiming damages for the alleged ab- duction of a Jewess terminated on Saturday, 31st ult, in Cardiff’, Wales, with a verdict for the plain- ‘Ms, to Whom the jury awarded £50.

A communication from Yenitsseisk, Siberia, in the Bankers’ Gazette of St. Petersburg, states that a new auriferous strata has been discovered in the country’ traversed by the afiluents of the Angara, at @ distance of about 80 verste (live-eighths of a mile each) from the first named place. A fearful accident, caused by storm, weather, oc- curred on the 2a inst. in the Borg colliery, in the valley calied the Plaueascher Grund, near Dresden.

It ig stated jn the Italian papers that great pro- gress ia making with the Mont Cenjis tunnel, the work being actively carried on night and day, and that there is every probability the line will be opened in the course of next year. To celebrate this event thas now been definitely cecided that a Universal Exhibition shail be held m Turin in the spring of 1872, The summer drawing of the Russian Government lottery took place at St. Petersburg on the 13th ult. ‘The fortunate winner of the £28,000 prize on this occasion is a subordinate elerk tn one of the banking establishments of the capital, who became possessed almost accidentally of the successful tcket.

The proposal to leave the construction to private enterprise has been abandoned, and it will be under- taken by the government. Naval aud military con- siderations have led to this decision. The expenses are estimated at 30,000,000 thalers. ‘The partisans of Don Carios VII. at Madrid! have taken as their emblem the daisy (Margarita) in allu- sion to the name of the Princess, wife of the Pre- tender. In all the public walks, theatres and places of amusement numbers of ladies may be seen wear- ing those flowers in their hair, ‘The betting agency prosecutions in London were again before the notice of Sir Thomas Henry on the 2d inst. Counsel on both sides having agreed upon the details of a “case” for the decision of a superior court, the magistrate imposed the penaity named in the act of Parliament, viz., £100. It is probable that the points at issue wiil be argued nefore the Court of Exchequer in the course of the Michaelmas term. ‘The Common Council of Vienna in its last sitting decided waantmously to adaress a petition to the governinent and the two Chambers to obtain the suppression of all the convents and religious com- munities Whose statutes are contrary to tue organic Jaws of the empire.

The Leumenical CounclimThe Pope's Policy fu Respect to the Council—His Preliminary Acte—The Syllabus of 1867—The Secrecy af the Prevent Operations, Rome, July 28, 1869, Ja treating of this subject, so fraugat with mter- est for the whole Christian as well as Catholic world, I must solicit the attention of your readers wile | retrace a) ovo the course of events con- neecied with the approaching Council, ana piace vefore them the sitnation of affairs at the present jnoment. ‘The Pope's intention of convoking a General Coun- cil ot the Church, hinted at in the summer of 1865, ‘was not seriously credited even tu clerical circles at that time. The Supreme Ponti was aamitied to ‘be personally infallinie when speating ex catheara, and he, hal shown, by the deijinition of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, that he did not require the concurrence of a Council for the accomplish: ment of one of the greatest acta of the Papal authority. The Catholic bishops were simply con- sulted on that oecasion by a circular letter, and ins vited to the Vatican to witness the splendid cere- mony of the dogmatical definition, ‘The ultra- jnoutane party Intue Church, therefore, Livorabie to the absolute supremacy of Rome, saw na necessity tor the convocation of a Council, The non. Mi tramontanes ould not comprehend why the Pope, whose absolute power of laie years m Ubareh mat- ters had inereased as much as that, of temporal sovereigns in State afairs had diminished, shenid wish to summon a kind of Catholic parliament, possibly to circamseribe tis attributions, Both parties admitted that the only necessity for such a step would have arise from the develoument of some Dew HhIMw OF Dangerous heresy, tv judge and condemn which wonld require tne authority of the Supreme eg, surrounded by all the bishops of tne Church. Bat no such cause was verified. A lapse of two years confirmed the doubtfal rumor, Qn the 6th of June, 1867, about halt the bishops of Christendom, being congregated in Rome for the centenary of St. Peter, received a syllabus of seventeen questions, chiefly disciplinanan, with @ letter from Cardinal Caterini, requesting them to meditate thereon and give their opinions in writing on the subject in three or four months. Similar letters and copies of the syllabus were forwarded to the absent bishops, but no allusion was made to the Council, although clerical journals hinted that the syllabus was, as it were, a sketch of the matters to be treated of in that assembly. But on the 29th of the same month the Pope, replying to the address of the bishops, declared his intention of summoning a council 1m Rome on the sth of December, the festival the Immaculate Conception, but without specifying in what year. On the 29th of June, 1868, Pius IX. published bis bull Aiterni Patris convoking the Vatican Council for the Sth of December, 1889, and touched on the pro- gramme, pradentiy putting forward ‘the integrity of the faith, the dignity of divine worship, the sal- vailon of souls, the discipline oi the secular and regular clergy, the mstruction of the clergy, the observation OF ecclesiastical laws, the correciion of manners, Lhe Christian education of youth,” &c, ‘The ultramontanes of course acquiesced tmme- diately in whatever emanated from the wise and provident decisions of ce Supreme Pontuff, and pro- claimed the Council as a measure of the utmost im- portance for the iaituful. ‘rue non-uitramontanes and secular governments, however, suspected that tne court of Kome, in sum- moning a Councii, had some other object in view than the mere confirmation ot che questions Bro wed in the sytlabus and te bull avternt Patris, the Pope hav- ing previously taken upon himself the mach ver responsibility of defini @ dogma of tie Church witaout any such aid. The non-uliramontenes suspected the pontifl of aiming at obtaining from the Couneil adecree estabits his personal in- Talitbiity—a privilege watch in practice already belongs to him, but which would only be -in- contestabie after the solemn confirmation of an Ecumenical Council, It 18 useless to demonstrate what a revoluuon sach an innovation would pro- duce in Church government and how superfluous Councils would become forever after. Secular governments were more suspicious that the Coart of Kome was about to extort from the as- sembied bishops @ new ailirmation of the necessity of the Pope’s temporal power, aud a full approba- tion of tne condemnation of ail the modern princi- ples of social relations contained in the tamous syi- jabus accompanying the encyclica, “Quanta cura? of the 8th of Pecember, 1864, ‘This condemnation, as yetemanaung from the pore only, Would acquire more authority if sanctioned by the Vhurch universal. Hence the coldness with which tne non-uitramon- tanes and secular governmens received the oficial announcementof tke approaching Councii. Mean- while the subjects to be treated of are being worked out im Kome without the concurrence of the bishops ot the Catholic worid, who will only be informed of the programme when they arrive in Kome, ‘The Pope reserves to himeeif the tnitiative of the ques- tions, and forms ‘hem in concert with the congrega- ton of cardinals directing the Council, whu then submit them to the examipation of the various pre- paratory committees, who give cueir votes, or ratner opuntons, as to the opportunity of treating such ques- tions and the solutions to give them. Such discus- sions are to be held secret under pain of excommu- nication, and the printers employed at the Quirinal ‘Typography are bound to siieuce under the heaviest penuities, ’ verlaps the governments most interested might obtain irom the Court of Kome more precise information a8 vO the proposed operations of the Councy, before taking part decidediy for or against it But hitherto the repiies of Cardinal Antonelli to Foreign Ministers have been too caunous Wo lead 10 inopportune revelations. His Eminence justly attri- butes al future decisions of the Ecumenical Council to the direct wspiration of the Holy Ghost, of whose intentions he equally reasonably professes himself to have no previous Knowledge. . Generaily speaking such inspirations have been held to ve colucident with the wishes of the Court of Rome, and in the approaching Council they will be doubtiess equally so. Your readers will thus realize the uncertainty which hangs over (he programme and the decisions ot the Vaucan Council, and the difficuities which diptomatists and special correspondents have to encounier, Above all, give no credit to current reports that the Council will not be heid at all, or at Jeast that it will be adjourned. {tis not probable that the Coart of Rome will re- nounce a project on which it has evidently founded great hopes, hor 18 It likely that secular governments in the present day wul consider it necessary to hinder aa ecclesiastical assembly from meeting, dis- cuasing possibly condemning the most liberal Principles of modern society. M. de Beust himself, in replying to Prince Hohen- lohe, has declared that Austria is strong enough not to require coercive measures against the Council, and will make use of tae power conlerred by the new laws ot the empire if the rights of the State are infringed upon by it, Similar moderation may be xpoees, from other governments. w up adjournment, 1 can think of only three coutingencies Which would render such a atep neces- sary or even probable~a turopean war, & pesti- Jence in Rome or a iresh Garibaidian myasion, none oY which, it 18 to be devoutly hoped, will take place. It is to be recollected that Pio Nono clings to the realization of his plan with as much amour propre as is admissible im achavacter so sincerely and un- doubtediy pious as tus.

Rouher in the Senate. The Senate assembled on the 2d inst., and M. Rou- her, the president, delivered a speech in which he said that the Senate had been convoked to examine important modifications of the constitution of the empire, which had been brought about by a fortu- nate understanding between tne government and the Legislative Body. No sovereign had followed the movement of public opinion more faithfully than the Emperor, who had always considered power as being the propertyof the nation. M. Kouher dwelt upon the coutmual movement which had been gomg on transforming an authoritative em- pire into & liberal empire by the initiative of the Emperor himself—pointing, im support of this view, to the amnesty and the reforms of 1800, 1863 and 1867, the whole terminating to-day in a perfect- ed equilibrium between the powers of the State and a better distribuuon of their rights and_ privileges. Alindmg to the impatience and regreta recently manifested, the President said:—‘ They are both equally unjust. To wish that France should remain at a standstill while liberal doctrines take possession. of the whole of Europe would be to disregard the ne- cessary law of our influence tiroughout the world and to weaken the sacred ties which unite the Napoteonic dynasty to the’French nation; bat to let oneself glide with indifference down a decline which ieads to an abyss would be to torget that France has a right to re- quire from the government absolute security against violent passions, mad wishes, and naplacavle hatred, for, m the words of Augustus, ‘The Empire is suili- ciently populac to go hand and hand-with liberty, and strong enough to preserve it from avarchy.’ (Appiause.) The Senate will, therefore, approach the discussion of these constitutional reforms with- out experiencing a misplaced timidity, and, at the same time, without yielding to thoughtless impulse; bat with the firm intention of interpreting and cou: secrating the will of the country. The combined efforts of the government and ol tlie Senate will es- tablish a more genuine harmony and a more fruitful solidarity between the powers of the State aud the institutions of the Empire, and will give them re- newed strength, Justre and popufarity.” M. Rouher alterwards expressed regret at the death of M. Trop- Jong, late President of the Senate, and of several other members of the Upper Chamver, andythe Sena- tus Consuitum was then read. ‘The Basin of the Senatus Consuitam.

AUSTRIA, The Foreign Policy of the Empire. [Vienna (July 28) correspondence London Times.) In the Reichsrath Committee the foreign policy of the empire has been subjected to a searching criti- cism, and this criucism was followed by a long exposé by Count Buest, of both of which only frag- mentary intelligence has oozed out. The reiations of Austria to the North German Confederation formed the chief subject of the discussion. Dr. Lemel, be- longing to the so-called German left, wanted to know why relations with Prussia were not 80 friendly as they might and ought to be. According to his views there ought to be the mdst friendly relations with Prussia, instead of the approach to France which he seemed to aiscern in the Red Book; above ail, in the advice given by Count Beust to Belgium in ‘the matter of the railway business, Austria, according ‘to his opinion, had no points of contact with France. It was this last country which had always fostered the so-called nationalities, and this was certainly not tn the interes: of Austi ‘The Poles in the committee stood up in defence of Frauce and the principle of nationalities. According to them neither was France to be condemned far having taken up the principle, nor was there any danger to Austria in its application. Other delegates asked questions about the rela- tions with » and in general about the pro- — which the Minister followed in fis foreign policy. Count Beust answered in a long speech all these different questions, insisting, above ali, that it was not his fauit if the relations with Prussia were not as they might be. Not ouly has Austria shown every opportunity that she accepted frankly and without alterthought the consequences of the treaty of Prague; not only bas Austria conscientiously ab- stained from exerting any influence in the internal organization of North Germany, but she has even, in the North Schleswig question, confined herself to some well meant advice, although Count Bismarck lummself has declared im fall Parliament that Austria was the only Power which could demand that the provisions of the treaty of Prague relating to North Schleswig should be carried into effect. Besides, although the treaty of Prague con- siders the future organization of a South German Confederation, Austria has looked on without say- mg a word, while Prussia, by her military treaties with the Southern German States, has rendered the establishment of such a South German federation meaningless. It could scarcely be expected that the Austrian Foreign Minister should ask Prussia to cross the lime of the Main, and he could scarcely be blamed if he syecuot to the treaty ot Prague as setting limits to the extension of Prussia: ‘that, op the other land, Austria should entertain friendly relations with France and Italy could surely be no reproach; for if the treaty of Prague obliges Austria to be neutral with regard Ww the North German Confederation, it cannot con- demn her to impotence and complete isolation. That some of the despatches sould be rather pointed was: natural enough, considering the boundless attacks of the Prussian semi-official press, As for a general programme, Count Beust thinks this with regard to loreign policy is impossible. The La to be fol- lowed consists, first, im adapting oneself to the exiat- ing circumstances.gin general Count Beust described the situation as decidedly peaceful, and assured the cominittee that he always endeavored to keep Austria’s freedom of action for any eventuality un- impaired. The Convent Disclosuare—More About the A Cracow Nun. The Kvraj again, a paper which appears in Cracow, publisnes in a special edition a story which may weil be in connection with the whole mystery. It is as foliows:—In the month of April, 1848, a patrol of the National Guard remarked, about one o’clock in the morning, @ travelling carriage before the entrance door of the Carmelite nunnery. Curiosity and sus- picion mduced the young men on guard Ww stop the carriage, which was just starting. Two of them went to the carriage door, and saw in the carriage two men, one of whom held on his knees a woman in a nun’s dress, and having @ pightcap on her head. While the National Guards asked questions of the men in the carriage, the woman jumped out and ran into the courtyard of the convent. One ot Sneenes ran after her, and, in spite of her ent les, WOULA not let her go. ie noise in the midst of the night awoke the nuns aud servants of the convent. When the nun remarked this she cried out “Lam lost,’ and faintea. What happened wo her alterwards is unknown, ‘The patrol arrested the two men and Jed them towards the town, but moved by their entreaties and seeing tn the whole matter Dut a love adventure, the patrol, consisting of stu- dents of the University, let them go. The Cracow paper now thinks that there may be some comnec- “tion between this adventure, which happened in tne year 1848, and the mystery lately discovered, and that by looking over the lists of the National Guard then existing and tracing those who were on duty Sik combed jon between the two might be estab- ished. ‘the Czas of Craeow announces the sudden death of the confessor of the Carmelite nunnery, the prin- cipal witness in the affair of Barbara Ubryk,@y whom indirectly the barvarous imprisonment of the nun was revealed. ‘This man, who ts called Father Lewkowicz, lately visited the parish priest of ‘frze- binfa in astate of intoxication and betrayed the secret. The priest, who 1s a very worthy man, made it immediately known to @ cousin of his own in Cra- cow, and the latter wrote the anonymous letter to tne Minister of Justice. The excitement of the peo- pie is still so great that the autnorities have found Tt necessary to protect all the convents of the town by giving each of them a military rd. ‘The lady superior has been arrested, a8 Well as her predeces- sor, who was living in another convent. SPAIN. Bold Manifesto of the Captain General of Madrid—The Carlistse—Diplomatic Repre- sentatives Abrond. General Izquierdo, Captain General of Madrid, has addressed a long communication to the Regent and General Prim, in which he says:— I took part in the revolution of September in the hope of seeing morality, law and justice succeed to the former abuses, ‘The revolution has now been ac- complished ten months, but my bopes have deceived, and greater abuses, extenstve immorality and deplorabie anarchy prevatl—disorders to waich 1t 18 absolutely necessary to put an end.

If the government doe# not shoruy considers this question J shali abandon ail iiluston ag to the consolidation of the revolution, and shall definitively retire into private life. ‘This communication was read to-day at the Coun- cil of Ministers and created a deep impression. The Carlist bands are increasing in number. Carlist ac- counts represent the movement to be of a serious character, Several journals of moderate politics, in- cluding the Siglo, have ceased to is The Optctal Gazette publishes a circular of Sefor Stivela to the diplomatic representatives abroad, in which the Minister says that the momeat has now arrived for completely renewing diplomatic rela- tions with foreign Powers, The Carlists in the pro- vince of Leon are increasing. Important Republican Declaration. The Jgualdad, of Madrid, publishes tie toliowing manifesto:— The republican party 18 preparing at this moment throughout Spain to face and overcome all the perils which menace liberty, from whatever side they ma) come. Union, identity of view and simultaneous action must prevati in all our arrangements, in alt our resolutions, IN Order that their results may not be sterile. We again recommend to ali who may share our opinious the greatest harmony, the most fraterna) union, and especially the necessity of main- taining an understanding with the central commit- tees. ‘These latter, thoroughly convinced of the gra- vity of the circumstances and the dangers through which the nation is passing, and having the firm de- termination to conquer them, will know how to de cide opportunely as to what isto be done in any event that may arise. To the free judgment of those bodies must be left the selection of the moment aud the oceasion javorable for # fina) effort in support of our principles and propitious for their definitive triumph. DENMARK. The Relations Between the Prussian and Duuish Governmente—Schleswig-Holstein. In Dagbladet of 26th ult. the third anniversary of the signing at Nicolsbarg of the preliminaries of peace between Ansiria and Prusma—there is given an excellent sammary of the relations that have wince subsisted between the Prussian and Panisi governments, in which it 18 clearly shown that although it was then stipulated and subse- quently confirmed by Artele V. of the Treaty of. Prague “That the northern districts of Schleswig should be resiored to Denmark if « vote freely given by the inhabitants should intimate their desire to that effect,"’ not only has no step been taken by Prassta to fulfll her obltgation, but every evasion has been practised to render it nugatory, though she has meanwhile avaiied herself of every other condition ia the treaty to reap the immense advantages which she has gaiped by it. it is also shown that Denmark has never ceased to ay poe bse of ir ‘of the North ba a wig obtain thett though Pruse! wnepeupon "‘Dagbladee auguifeanty sake, “At such w y sake, “IT auc Conduet of Prassia mows.

To this the Cing sent no reply at first, and it was thought the suggestion did not meet with nis Majesty’s approval; but at last, on the 16th April. the King answered, through the Crown Prince, ‘that he would be glad to hear trom the hereditary duke if he would write to him direct, but that there must be no go-between, and any communication made must be as between prince and prince.” As the imdispensable coudi- Lares for Prussia the King menuoned the follow- 1, The establishment of # naval station, and of a safe place for the evolutions of the Prussian navy. 2. ‘hat Rendsburg should be deciared a confederate for- trese and should be garrisoned by Pruestan troops 3.

On this the Duke went to Berlin, where on the ist June he had an audience of the King, when the above ar- rangement was confirmed, and the King deciared himseif quite satisfied. The Kiel paper aids:— What the Itzehoe journal tells is uo news here, and it would be strange if these facts were not known also to the Hamburger Correspondenien, as they were fully explained in a pamphiet published at Friburg, entitled “Schieswig-Holstein and the An- nexation,” though it bas been thought well to repeat the whoie here lor the benetit of all who may take an ipierest in the question. rf MUSICAL REVIEW. George Wilhg & vo., Baltimore, publish the fol- lowing:— Suppe’s overture to “Pigue Dame,” for two and four hands. The “Poet and Peasant” overture, by this composer, nas long been a favorite here since its fotroduction by the popular maestro, Theodore Thomas. This overture will be found to possess the same freshness, vivacity, melody and charm, and if heard as trequently as the “Poet and Peasant,’” would be perhaps as great a favorite.

The General Agent and His Power. [From the Spirit of the Times, August 14.) INTRODUCTION. The Queen of England, in closing the present sit- ting of Parliament, enumerates the reforms which it has consummated, and especially commends the action of Parliament in providing for a cheap tele- graph and free trade in news. “Her Majesty trusts” (we quote from her speech) “the measures for tbe Purchase and management of the telegraphs by the State may be founda to facilitate the great commer- Cial and social object of rapid, easy and certain com- munication, and prove no uluworthy sequel to the system of cheap postage which has passed with such advantage Into so many countries of the civil- ized world.” The advance on the part of Great Britain is a proud step in the interest of a free press. What England has done America is has- tening wo do, American public opinion is rapidly crystallizing in favor of “rapid, easy and certain communication” over telegraph wires. We have followed England in cheap postage; now we must follow ber in the blessing no less precious of cheap and unrestricted telegraphing. In the interest of the same great reform the dis- cussion opened by the Spirit a few weeks since in reference to the great monopoly which now para- lyzes the great dailies of New York has pro- duced good results. In every part of the country we find the considerations which we have ventured to present to the Associated Press attracting observation, From this discussion good must come. The anomalies and biunders in the Associated Press economy are so great that the able men comprising it have only to open their eyes andsee, The trouble with these men is, that they know little of their own partnership. They have other concerns. Business, politics, investments in railroads and real estate are of more interest than the gathering of their news. In the few years past they have madea good deal of money. ‘There is scarcely a newspaper in New York to-day—we meap of the great dailies—that is not spending its income and its principal. The days of enterprise have be- come days of luxury, The real business of journalism has quietly drifted into the hands of a news reporter who is calied a “general agent," and this general agent, by some mysterious alliance, or obedience or contract, has reduced his office into a bureau of the Western Union Telegraph Company. ‘The news columns of the great dailies are very frequently the expressions of the hopes, the hatreds, the am- bitions of this news reporter and of the business ne- cessities of Mr. Orton. The owners pay large divi- dends, They turn everything into money. They cbarge war prices in times of peace. The great monopoly has soothed them into a condition of pro- fitable acquiescence. Samson rests im the lap of Delilah, and sweet are the hours of his dalliance. His strengtn i leaving him! How long will this last? So long as one news- paper was content to spend large sums of money to procure pews for its partners, the Associated Press Maintained a kind of ascendancy. We should have thought that the policy of this partnership would ve the encouragement of the newspaper's enterprise. It plainly became a duty for this Otmer temoers to compete with this journalist or yiela to his do- minion. THE POSITION OF THE HERALD IN THE PRESS. If the NEw YorK HERALD was permitted to gather news from all the world, and print it. or even divide ft with its partners, then in time the other journals would become the dependents of the HERALD, and the HERALD would usurp the functions of the General Agent. This might nave suited the partnership, but it did not suit the agent, and so we had what was called the “enlorcement of the rales.” The partner- ship Would not advance, nor would it permit the HERALD to advance? What did the Express, or the Journalof Commerce, or the Sun want with special despatches ? . THE EVENING EXPRESS. The £xpress iives by a. It fills the same position in the New York press of a noted character im Paris whose death was last year’s gossip. It is the king of the Chigonters, It lives along in its tree, careless, gypsy way, finding a rivbon here and an old -hat there, and remnants of silk and lace slureds and regs and patches. Any effort to spend money Was competition, and it regarded the HERALD with as much cern as the King of the Chigoners would have looked npon any rival who proposed to give money for what cost him nothing. THE EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT THE JOURNAL OF COMMERCE DERIVES FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The Journal of Commerce has no ambition in news gathering. Its owners‘report the markets and the arrival of ships, and there stop. ‘The interest of Mr. stone is to make his partnership collect the market reports and ay and economize alt other classes of news. is 18 done by the great dathes. They do Mr. Stone’s work better than he could aford to do it himself, and as none of them venture to compete with him in printing this news he has great cause for gratitude and comtort. THU SUN DAMAGES ITS PARTNERS BY PEDDLING THE NEWS aT HALF PRICE. The Sun merely wants the news despatch. briefer it ia the better. The space is limited. cannot afford to take a page or iwo of despatches. So loug as the great dailies collecu news enough to make Mr. Dana’s paper interesting he is content. He has no room for “enterprise,” and any rule which prevents competition puts the great dailies at his mercy. So long as they collect the news and permit him to sell tt atone-half the price, he wilt Dot complain. HOW THE TIMES STANDS IN THE ASSOCIATION. The Times bas so much control over the macnimery of the partnership that it can well afford to submit to the numbler needs of the weaker members. We fancy that Mr. Bigelow would unite with the Sun in having even a more condensed despeth. He seems to be am- bitious to rival the Evening Post—vw make up tor news by what we presume he calls * dignity” and large type. We have seen a process like tnis applied to Shakespeare and Byron, the classics, and even the Bible. The news is the news—and each day tells its story. The newspaper only fuifils its function when tt prints it, Sometimes it is a story of shame, and crime, and terror, wt brings tears and blushes. Stil tt most be told, and any “expurgated” edition ts an abandonment of the duty which the editor assumes. A Bible edited upon Mr. Bigelow’s theory would make sad havoc with the Pentateuch aud ihe gos- pels, for there are many things there written tuat Would not be suitable fOr the columns of tie Ties. : SUMMARY. So the necessities of this grotesque partnership are briefly these:—The Journal wants no news, the Express last week’s news, the Sun hait the news and the Times what might be cailed wsthetic news, something which clergymen like to kuow is in the Papers, but which nodody especiaily cares to read. A GRNRRAL VIEW OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARTNERSHIP. Of this partnership the Herald, Trivune and World come within the range of newspapers who want all the news. Do they get it? Do these journais give their readers what they have ‘a right to demand? Do they, for instance, print a news despatch twice as good as that.of the Sun? They give the same despatch. Ifa man simply wants the news he can buy It jor two cents. That answers his necessities, If be has time and money to indulge his tastes he may gratify them at twice tne cost. The demo- crgt buys the World* to see what the ra men who make it one of tue most brilliant and scholarly newspapers in the country have to say on politics and social progress. ‘Tne re- the 7ribune to study the teachings of great editor, (0 see What Mr. Sinailey writes from Lendon, or to jearn its opinion of the last history, or the ripening harvests of the world, The Worid and the 7rigune bot answer important bat not neces sary functions, Omit the news despatch and the reader will see a3 much tm the seini-weekly and weekly editions of these newspapers as in the daily, The reader of the HERALD Will tua the news des. patch and as much otner news as “the rules’? will permit itto gather. fle sees a great newspaper curbed, bridied and strapped by its rivals, HOW THE LARGE DALLIES ARE FOSTERING A CANKER ASSOCIATED The tt WORM. Of course the future of the Sun is growtn, This growth we see, The managers of the great dailies may close their eyes and talk about auil business, and summer Weather, and no excitement, and “watt, until the Presidential year;’”’ but they arc ignorant of what everybody eise Kuows if they do not see that the journal which prints the news despatch for one- hait thetr price is rapidly gatning on them in etreu- lauon. They stand still while it gullops. tn foster- ing @ monopoly they stunt their own growth, and have no future. Mr, Greeley is a great man, and 8o long as te lives men Will greedily buy his paper to see What he has to say to lia fellow men. But Mesars. Gales & Seaton were great meu, and in their day exercised as great an influence upon the oid whig party as Myr, Greeley does upon the republican payty, Politicians and statesmen sat at their feet und listened. in time they were gathered to their rest, and when they ceased to speak their journal ceased to live. The opinions of no man, however wise or illustrious, are anything more than luxuries in a dally newspaper. News is its life—its biood— its breath—and only by competition in news can it expect a dominant in! ution is imposible w: 8 monopoly, which commands that the strong shall be crushed and robbed for the benefit of the weak.

No man will give four cents for what tf can buy for two, and in time every man will know where the article tat costs him four cents may be bought for two. THE POWER OF THE GENERAL AGENT OF TUE ASS0- CIATION. We have spoken of the influence which the hired news reporter, who bas the resonant dignity of “General Ageut,” may exercise over (he news which he is pleased to give to the great dailies, We showed how his oitice was once made to serve the ambition of our Jamented friend Mr. Raymond, and the “policy” of Mr. Johnson by what were called ‘des- patches” from the South. We cited an mstance in Which his office suppressed @ despatch from Cati- fornia because it reflected upon the Western Union Telegraph Company, although the despatch was the solema ‘record of a great Ste Convention. HOW THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 18 PROSTITUTED TO POLITICS AND PAY. Look at recent events. Last week @ riot took place in Mobile. Like most ‘riots’ in the South, none but negroes were killed. Yet we had telegraphed all over the North one of the old time “negro out 4 despatches, emphasized by an extract from the Mo- bile Register—a newspaper which threatens another war and represents the Worst phase of the rebellion. This despatch was as much of a falsehood as though Mr. Simonton were to telegraph to Mobile an extract from Mr. Pomeroy's Denvocrat assaiting Mr. Lincoia as an evidence that the peopie of New York rejoiced in the assurance that the soul of our late rresideat was in eternal torment.

Let us translate this, The San Francisco Bulletin, @ newspaper mainly owned by Mr. Simonton, has been bitterly opposing Mr. McCoppin the democratic Incumbent of the office of Mayor of that city and a candidate for re-election, Ite assaults have beea bitter, persistent, coarse. It has assailed bis fata and bis country. The publisher bas becn arresied for libel. The Democratic Convention nominates McCoppin upon a platform which demands free and cheap telegrapaing, and an employe of the Butlecin, Mr. Simonton’s San Francizco agent, telegraphs this damauing libel all over the country, We make this translation simply froma knowledge of Caltfornia patie aud of we motives which prompt the attack. ‘hese illusirations are but scattering evidences of the abuses Which sucround the administration of the Associated Press, and of the power of this agency to give tone and color to what Its news reporter ts Pleased to call the “News Despatca” of his corpe ration. THE BENEFITS OF FREE TRADE IN NEWS. We very mueh jear that the sceptre is passing away from the press of New York. Look at the West. Iuere we have free trade in news, and there We see betier papers than we fad in toe East. The Cmeinnati Commercial 13 as good a paper as aby printed uf New York, and we have (ew journals that Make more money than the Chicago 7rioune. By its weaith, 13 commerce, Its unrivalled command of sea and railway, by its beauty and public spirit, and the Intepidity of its citizens, New York has become the metropolis of this continent. Wiiie every in- terest ativances the press stands still, It is because, in some ubaccountable Way, Mr. Greeley aod Mr. Bennett have allowed themseives to be hedged in and curbed by a monopoly waich began with an economical expedient twenty-five years ago. They must come back to the old days of competition; they must then open the news to every comer. Abolish weir resiriction and we shall have four of five cheap journals to compete with the Sun. That there is roow for such competition imay be seen tn the success of tie Star. Or, sf they will combine to monopolize (he news, let them at least imitate dealers in groceries and coal, and insist that their Wares shall be sold at the same price. Do not have 4 monopoly WilnouUl enjoying it—a MoLopoly which gradually reduces their own circulation and adds to that of a rival. We shail have free trade in news when we have free trade in tie telegraph. So long as Mr. Simon- ton’s interests in California and Mr. Orton’s in New York are best served by this monupoly we shall not see it cease Without a siruggie, That struggle takes shape in the establistiment of anti-monopoly journals @lcvertiec Uiuy. Im Califor: ia and Pe mayivai te and New York we have able, progressive news- nd rising LO power outside of Ip time they must combine— as, indeed, they are combining. A new association will come, based on healthy ana endurime principles. Its members wili graduaily occupy the field which the strange supineness of the older journais is yield tug. The men who control the great dailies must sooner or iater see the oily of ther strange copart- bership.
