; me Rtatue may not balance well on the pedestal, and that there may come a toppling over one as he ts vulgarly called, that the of these days. We wara his colleagues also, in all kindness, that they may not be strong enough to carry this rostloss “Old Man of the Sea” upon their shoulders, and that the sooner they puta curb upon his personal ambition the better for the prospecis of the democratic party. This selfish bill of Senator Tweed's embodies a direct assault upon the press, and we hope that the newspapers—including the World particularly, which ought to havea friendly voice in the matter—will protest agalost this outrageous ‘‘advertising com- pany” legislation, The fact that the bill has been favorably reported by the committee may probably be regarded as equivalent to its passaze, It will therefore remain with Governor Hoffman to serve both his party and himself by vetoing the bill when it reaches the Executive Cham- ber, {fhe should not do 80, but, by affixing his signature make a law of this obnoxious piece of legislation, he wiil be only driving a nail in the coffin of the democratic party. “Deacheadism?” and the Public Press. Wo are glad to notice that, the remarks of the Heratp in regard to ‘‘deadbeadism,” pub- lished just prior to the meeting of the late Editorial Convention in Ohio, have called forth a cordial response from among respect- able journals in various parts of the country, Among the most prominent of these we are Pleased to recognize so enterprising and vigor- ous a contemporary as the Cincinnati Commer- cial, a sheet that may be regarded as among tke most dignified and independent in the West. Referring to the members of the late Editorial Convention, and the manner in which they indulged their gormandizing propensities upon the ‘‘deadhead” principlo, the Commer- etal pertinently asks:— ‘What ts there in the printing and publishing of a newspaper that should euttic the proprietors or editors to privileges not extenued to men engaged in otuer branches ol industry? Or what 13 there about the business that would prevent them from applytng to it the same principles that are applied by those who conduct other manulactories? Can abybody teliy The press will never take that posl- tion of independence to which it is entitled till te Principle is universally recognized and applied of cash pay for what is done by it as weli as cash pay for what is done for it, The whole system of free assing and free mailing, free pufilng and free notic- , Should be done away absolutely. This language has the true ring. Itisa pity we do not hear its reverberations through the columns of the press more frequently. We agree with the Ogmmercia! that it is time the day of deadheadism or .frecticketism for anywhere or for’ anything were done away with, just as the system of free puffery or free advertising for anything or anybody should be forever abolished, And there are substantial reasons why this change should take place in the management of newspapers. There was 2 time when newspapers were printed more for the amusement of the editor than for the profit or for the edification of the people. Politi- cians, too, were wont to start newspapers and Prevail on some tramp of a journeyman printer to do the meehanical part of the work for a beggarly compensation. Some authors, too, with the excusable ambition of airing their lucubrations, have started papers, which, after flickering a fitful life, have died out. Even in tho present day it would take a quarry of bluestone to furnish tombs for the newspaper bant- “lings that are yearly buried in early graves. But it is not to journals of this ephemeral character that weare impelled to speak. It is to the great daily newspaper press of the country—those that have to pay enormously for what they consume in every issue—that we appeal for co-operation in uprooting and wipinz out this abominable practice of dead- headism. In recent years new and vast bur- dens of expenditure haved been imposed upon the daily press that did not exist formerly. ‘To illustrate this point we propose to look back to an early period in the history of the daily press of New York. ‘In 1830, at the time of the formation of what was called the Trades Union, which occasioned strikes among all workingmen in this city, and which had the effect of advanc- fing some of the leaders of the movement to high political offices, such as Ely Moore to Congress and others to smaller places, the printers came in for a share of the advanced rates of wages, At that time morning paper compositors were receiving ten dollars a weok .for their labor, and their wages were increased to twelve dollars a week by the strike, The Mercantile Advertiser had six compositors at the time, a foreman, one pressman and a roller-voy. The entire expenses of that paper at the fime of the strike for the advanced rates were eighty-six dollars a week, including the presswork; and after the proprietors paid the advanced rates their expenses were less than ninety dollars a week, a3 they dismissed one of their compositors and made five do the work. The New York Herarp now employs over one hundred compositors and over fitty pressm2n, and our expenses for composition and presswork alone are over four thousand dollars a weok. Our readers can here readily realize the difference between the expenses of ono of the old “blanket sheets” and a live newspaper of the present day, There is another important addition to the expenses of publishing a newspaper at this day which was not . dreamed of thirty or forty..years since. We refer to the magnetld telegraph. The com- paratively new invention of the telegraph annually absorbs one or more millions of dollars from thé press of the country—the telegraph expenses of the Associated Press alone being nearly a million annually, The during the war in Europe reached nearly two hundred thousaid dollars in gold, exclusive, of course, of the very heavy outlay in main- taining an extensive and able corps of corre- spondents at every point of interest, To these telegraphic charges must be added the weighty expenses attending the intro- duction of modern improvements in print- ing and stereotyping, the increase by nearly a hundred per cent of compensation paid to practical printers over the rate of thirty- | five years ago, the enhanced price of white paper and printing ink, tle employment of ®@ small army pf editors, reporters, corres- pondents and special writers, whero a few ready writers formerly performed all the duties required of this class of attach/s, the erec- tion of costly buildings, and the numberless otber ways that have entailed outlays in order to keep a great newspaper up to the NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1871.—TRIPLE SHEET, standard of this living and progressive age, Adding all these expenses together, and the ‘‘sum total” shows an aggregate dis- bursement on the part of the press of the country scarcely paralleled by the outlay in conducting any department of the government of the nation, With all these heavy expenditures, borne by the newspaper press of the country for the benefit and enlightenment of the people, how ridiculous it is to see somo editors and pub- lishers craving the paltry favor of a free ride or afvee dinner or a free ticket to some place of amusement! And, on the other hand, how cool and unreasonable it is to expect that pro- prietors of newspapers, who have to defray all these excessive expenses, shall surrender (heir space gratis to noticing and puffing and adver- tising all the little private jobs of interested parties! Our regular advertising columas aro open to all customers, and the wonderful array the Huranp daily presents in this respect shows how far the business community appre- ciates our motto of “Pay as you go.” Lut that motto be adopied by the press all over the land and the deathkaell of deadheadism will soon be heard. Congress Yesteraay—Biil Repoal tho Duties on Coal and Salt—Repression of the Ku Kinx Kian The House of Representatives went to worlk yesterday in the right direction. The first two bills that were introduced under the call of States were presented by Mr. Hale, of Maine, that being the first State’ on the list, and were for the repeal of the duties on salt and coal. They were referred to the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union—a reference which is usually fatal to all measures; but on the motion of Mr. Cox, and against all the dilatory expedients of the Pennsylvania mem- bers, the House followed them up by resolving itself into committee, and taking up for con- sideration the bill abolishing the duty on salt, to which the other bill, abolishing the duiy on coal, was tacked on as an amendment, All gen- eral debate was shut off, but the discussion, under the five minute rule, continued until the time that the committee rose and the House adjourned, Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, who believes in the highest protective duties, especially in the matter of coal and iron, argued that the reduction of revenue which this bill would necessitate ($1,198,743 on salt and $521,578 on coal) would prejudice the efforts of the Secretary of the Treasury in floating the new bonds issued under the Funding bill; but the inconsistency of the argument was exposed by a Missouri member, Mr. Finkelnburg, who reminded the House that the genileman who exhibited so much concern lest the Treasury should be diminished to the extent of this million and a half of dollars had voted quite recently to diminish it twelve millions a year by the repeal of the income tax, Mr. Kelley’s other argument, that the tax on salt only cost three cents a head per year to the whole population of the United States, was no less insincere, That was the proportion which the tax brought to the Treasury, but its cost to the people was the difference between the price of salt with the high duty on, estimated at between two hundred and three hundred per cent, and what would have been its price to the consumer if it were free of tax. The same fallacy prevails in regard to coal and iron and all other highly protected products, The amount of revenue which they bring does not show the real figure of imposition on the people, which is the difference between the cost of the ariicle free of duty and its cost under the tariff. If the differential price to the consumer found its way to the Treasury there would be no reason to complain; but where ten per cent goes te the Treasury full ninety per cent goes to the capitalists and pro- ducers in the country to enrich them at the expense of the people at large. After the committee rose some propositions were introduced in the House, including one by Mr. Sheilabarger, of Ohio, authorizing the President to use the land and naval forces in repressing outrages and executing the laws in any Siate or Territory, even although the Executive interference may not be calied for by the Legislature or Governor of such State or Territory. This is another advance in the direction of centralization which is more sim- ple and far-reaching than Mr, Butler’s Ku Klux bill. It was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Tie Senate spent but a-brief period in ses- sion yesterday, being too much exercised and interested in the caucus arrangement to dis- place Senator Sumner from the chairmanship of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and to reduce him to the ranks, No further movement was made in either house on the subject of the final adjournment. to Jcvpce Barsovr, of the Superior Court, has just given a decision ina divorce case that should prove a timely waraing to husbands secking a severance of their marital relations, Twenty-five years ago a Mr. David Halstead was divorced from his wife. At the time of | in business. granting the divorce Mr. Halstead, it appears, wag comparatively impecunious, and in view of this fact was adjudged to pay only fifty dollars anfually toward his wife’s support. Since then fortune has kindly favored him. The divorced wife naturally obscryed those benignant smiles of tho fickle goddess, and made application accordingly for increase of alimony. Upon this application the Judge made an order directing Mr. Halstead to pay his wife five hundred dollars within twenty days and five hundred dollars annually daring her life. The moral is obvious. If husbands will get divorces from their wives—though ia this case the wife got a divorce from ber husband, which amounts to the same thing, as to the pecuniary resuli—they must expect their wives will keep a clos? watch upon their business careers, and if successful draw from their fuller exchequer increasing annui- ties in the. ratio of their progressive success Tue GoLd SPEOULATION.—A rathor unset tled market bas prevailed in the Gold Room for a few days past, owing to feara of mone- tary activity in London.

The principal question that mow occuples.the ate tention of the government and is the theme of conversation here, and, in fact, all ever the Penin-. sula, is the refusal of Generals Duke de Moatpen- sier, Marquis de Malpica, Marquis de Novaliches, Count de Cheste, Sanz, Calonge, Contreras, Trillo y Lacy, Blaser, Sandoval, Nouvilles and upwards of 200 oMfcers to take the required oath of fidelity to the new Kimg aAmadens. It appears that the government 1s resolved to all the force at command to compe! all oilcers to take the said oath, and, on the other hand, the generals and other oficers before mentioned seem. equally determined on their part to resist what appears to be an arbitrary measure and opposed to the new constitution, Among the marshals and, generals will be observed the names of men wha Haytien, has written a lotter, dated February | have held the highest offices of stato, and, though 4, to General Alexis, charging the Haytien officials with assisting Luperon, and warning them against interfering with the Baez govern- ment, Alexis replied promising to use re- doubled vigilance, professing the strictest Minister Bassett hag called the ationtion of the Haytien government .to the necessity of observing the strictest neutrality and has named the Haytien Consuls at Ja- maica and Curacoa as being engaged ia aiding Notwithstanding all these rumors the Haytien government is believed to be well disposed.
