Prudentius on the Papal Elections. To THe Eprrok oF 1HE HERALD:— Although the churches in communion with the See of Rome cannot claim as a strict right to @nare in the election of tae popes noone candeny | that they have an abiding interest tn the purity of | Papal elections, Just, then, as the abuses and ex- cesses arising {rom the participation of the people and the inferior clergy in episcopal elections have gradually led, wherever the State aid not inter- Jere, to the exclusion of both priests and people from any share therein, and to the choosing of bishops by their peers, 80 may It happen in the course of ages with the election of the popes, Itis not impossible, nor even improbable, that a day may come when the Sovereign Pontiff shall be elected by the united suffrages of the episcopal body as- sembled in council, or by their delegates, chosen by every ecclesiastical province. Thus the General of the Jesuits is chosen for life by the professed of the society, represented by the provincials and two deputies from each province assembied in general congregation. It 1s not, of course, pretended that this shall be so with papal elections, but simply that it may be; nay, that it is not unitkely to be in course of time. But there is another aspect of the cardinalate under which the universal Cuurch would seem to | claim some right of representation in the papal councils. The cardinals are the Pope's advisers and assistants in the government of the whole of : Christ's flock. It would seem but reasonable and just in thts reiation that the great national churches should have in this supreme council representatives chosen by themselves or from among themselves to be near tie chief pastor and to enlighten him on the interests and needs of their conationalisis. This fandumental consideration has infuencea the sovereign pontiis ever from the beginning tn admitting members of every nationality in Chris- | tendom to @ piace in the College of Cardinals; and had not emperors and kings interfered to thrust their own relatives or favorites on the popes’ the latter would have always and naturally selected for the cardinaitian cen the worthtest eccle- | Be siastics in Christian land Aud it is the conviction and the consolation of many of YHE FOREMOST DEFRNDERS OF CATHOLICITY in our own age that Providence is ridding the popes of the oppressive protection of princes only to leave them iree to appoint Jor every dignity in the Church, and especially for the cardinalate, the ‘dest men and the truest, Tuis increase of freedom and its consequent in- crease of power are the great biessings which are to compensate the present struggics oi tue papacy aod to crown the bopes of Catholics, As things are, however, under actual circum- stances, the Holy Father is bound to act, in choosing luis cardinais, in deference to precedents, customs and imperious exigencies, which leave nim in many cases bat a very limited liberty of choice. The right of veto in papal elections, granted by iormer popes to the representatives of Portugal fur instance, might be claimed to-morrow by that least Catholic of former Catholic peoptes, and exercised under the dictation of some unti- Catuoilc Power, with a miscitevous obstinacy in @irect ratio to the utter absence of all Catholic conscience in the ralers of that wretched country, So wit krance. ‘be French crown is in abeyance, or it exists no longer ti you Will; aud the radical taction Who may rise to power to-morrow in the ancient kingdom of Chariemagne and St. Louis Would be the deadhest foes of Catholicism. Yet, it @ conclave assembled, the French rulers might, and doubtless would, claim, as tyranuically as ever did Louls Quatorze, the rigut to veto the cuoice of the majority. Until the periect freedom of the Charch and of the tioly Father have sprung from new revolutions or changes he and the Sacred College will be practicaily bound by the CUSTOMS MADE SACRED BY THE Past. It is this impassable barrier of custom and cus- tomary jaw that the Pope cannot overstep and break through in order to appoint cardinals ior new and republican countries. The tidal wave of revolution tmay indeed at any moment sweep this barrier away. But we must wait patiently until | Father Jor ecause tae it bas done so, and not blame the Hol, ‘What in bim 1s cousummate prudence, Trait of traditional wisdom. ‘There ts snovher consideration which should not de lost sight of, Popes, in the choice of cardinais, have been gnided either by their own knowletye Of the persons tu be so honored or by the deier- ence due to sovereigns and to national deserts; or, again, by the advice of the papal nuncios or aiaeken resi in the native country of the can- Men of emment learning and ripe virtue, who have resided in Kome, like Vardinals Wiseman and Cullen, commend themseives at once to the choice of the Pontit and of iis immediate advisers; | While iu other casem a8 Of bishops or sumpie priests, | Hitule known, seldom or never seen in the Eternal their recommendation of fit sub‘ects for the dignity of cardina! must have great weig! head of the Church. Then, wh secure or to keep the support and co-operation of their wishes in the appointment of cardinals, it happened in the case of the present Cardinals Bonaparte and Hohenlohe, cannot be set aside, especially where long custom or existing goncoraats leave the Pontiff little or NO PREEDOM OF ACTION. When sovereigns make an proper chotce it is for the resident representative of the Holy See to inform the Court of Rome. Now, the Cnarch in our country is but of recent pried the Holy See has no representative in ‘ashington, and our legislators tn Congress laith- ful to the dictation Of the ‘inspired cobbvlers” who sent them there, are too fanatic and too niggardiy to maintain a representative of proper rank near the Holy Father. On the other hand the creation of a cardinal has ever been iooked upon by every Christian nation and government as the highest honor that could be bestowed on one of their own. It is for the reager to see that ali these consid- erations, Which have ever been decisive wi'h the Court of Rome, are against our having for some time to come an American cardinal, : If, then, the qoeahon be seriously asked, Why does not Pins IX. have regard to the many claims of the Catholics in the United States on his affec- tion and gratitude and grant them, by honoring one o! their prelates with the Roman parpie, a suitabie return for their acknowledged loyalty and generosity Y an answer may be jound in the pre- ceding considerations. The conterring the honor is not @ matter o! choice. If the question be not asked seriously it implies A SLIGHT ON THE PONTIFF himself and on the dignity, the highest in the Church of human origin, The sufferings and heroic services of that august person should secure him from irreverence, and the long st of saintly and venerable hames which have shed a lustre even on that rank must ever preserve it {rom contenipt. Whenever providential circumstances will allow the present Pope or his successors to reward dis- tinguishea merit in the New World by elevation to this sacred dignity they shall find m south America preiates kindred in soul to the martyred Mosquera, and in the North men who can be worthy heirs in station and merit of the Carroils and the Englands, the Cheveruses, the Kenricks and the Hugheses, just as across the Canasian frontier men shall not fail to grace with equal learning and piety the ancient See of de Montmorency-Laval. PRUDENTIUS. The Wicked Joke Doubted. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— In a late Sunday’s paper, in the religious intelli- gence columns, was an article headed “A Wicked Joke.” The writer tries to Jeave the impression that he ts or was a Catholic. Often I see men upon the stage whose delineation of character makes me think that they never were actors. Similarly am I influenced by the writer’s words:— “For I begin to think that our holy religion 18 nothing but @ lie’—thatis, he never was a Ca- | tholic, But whether ar no I ask him, does this story, without authority tor its truth, break down | offered proof of miraculous cures irom the bishop of Buffalo, or the cure of Mrs. Baker, of Boston, by using the waters of Lourdes? Is it probable that a priest, believing that the Eucharist con- tains the body and blood of Jesus Christ, would speaks of? Your correspondent intimates that he thought poison would be harmless in such a case. Does he pone that the priest would not think | the same? [i the writer is a Catholic he will un- derstand that pricsts are firm believers in trai b- stanttation. If he is a free thinker he does not act | as cautiously in regard to believing such stories as ' he does in utterly denying evervthing that reflects credit upon Catholicism, no matter how good proot may be given for the same. Ili proof is given that the poison story 18 true it will then be time enough to argue that point. Cc. E. P. i} “Ithiel” Answers “Ingenuous,”” | To roe EpiTor or THE HERALD :— In your issue of Sunday, July 19, I had the pleasure of reading the article signed vy “Ingenu- ous,” headed “The True Humanitarian,” and though I give due credit for the excellent spiritin sented, yet I desire in the same spirit to briefly point out two or three statements made by “ln- | genuous” which appear to me quite erroneous, | and also to present in as succinct a manner as |3 | possible my reasons for considering those state- | ments misleading tn thetr tendencies. | In order to make myself understood clearly I | Must quote his own words, as follows:—“The un- | | avoidable inference, then, is, that the conflict of mind alluded to 18 produced simply by an uncer- | tainty as to what is the true method of showing allegiance to the great First Cause, Power, Deity, or whatever you may term it in reason.” | In the first place I consider that ‘the confict of | mind” is not “produced simply by an uncer- | | tainty,” &c., but that several causes other than | “uncertainty” operate to bring about the truly | deplorable present lack of knowledge existing | pot only in our country but over the whole world concerning man, Ms duties and privileges, re- hgiously, socially, politically and educationally. it would be not only interesting, but bighiy in- structive, to review the histury of the causes that, | during the slow progress of the past ages of humanity, have produced results ciiminating in | the “uncertainty” which, we must all admit, pre- yails so universally concerning our knowledge of | God and maa, their reciprocal relations to each ! otner and the relations of man to his brother man. | What, then, are some of the causes, other than | “uncertainty,” which produce this “conflict of | mind” alluded to? | Cmef among these, and, In fact, the principal | cause, 1s ignorance. | . First—Of the nature and attributes of God and | | the nature and extent of the demands which He | Inakes upon man for recognition 0! His existence, | Worship and implicit obeuience to the laws | which He has orda:ned, Second—Ignorance of the three-fold nature of man, of the divine laws which obtain ip the gov- ernment of each of unitized domains of his being and govern | him. from the embryonic stage of his | existence, « or conception, in his growth, | physically, mentally and spiritually, toward that grand and glorious type of complete ‘development, | represented by the mau Adam iv the purity oi his | “first estate,” when fresh irom the hunds of his Creator, and to which, 1 tally believe. man will again, in the dim remoteness of tue future ages, | ultimately attain. | _Third—Ignorance concerning the physical | world in which we live and by wiich we are sur- rounded; the laws which govern all the distinct mate, and man’s relations to it, as well as its re- lation to bis Wellare in the triune departments of ; lis nature. | We may be either wiliully or simply indiffer- ‘ently or neglectiuily iguorant of all that is in- cluded within the compass of the preceding state- ments; but in tpis age of progress aud enlighten- ment the latter is quite as culpabie a condition as the former, and certainly we must acknowledge that the responsibility for this state of things rests With man, for surely God is not to blame. | Again, I recognize as another cause, the intense and determined spirit of selfsnness existent in Lumanity, which 1s persistent and pugnacious in | seeking the advancement of self velore all el: at the expense (If ueed be) of every one and every | Other thing, resulting in the state of society which | at present exists. Another operating canse Ideem to be the tnor- dinate love of, ana outrageous greed ior, the pos- session Of Money, sO that the worshippers of Mam- mon outnumber by wany miilions those wio wor- Bulp only “theirue and the hving God,” and in- clude also in their ranks, as idolaters of tine Money King, inany thousands whose names are enrolled upon the church records throughout all Christen- | dom, until, as @ logical result, morality and hon- esty in all departments, religious>as well as secu- lar, are too lamentably deficient to be a source of satisiaction to any earnest lover of humanity. | teria T conceive that the failure of each one of us to live fully up to our best apprehensions of what God requires of us respecting our relations hindrance to our speeay enlightenment concern- | salvation,” go that we shall not only be delivered from our present existing evils, but also be pre- | Yented from making such sad mistakes, in the | fature history of the human race, as huve blotted | “the chart of time” since the advent oi man. Other causes suggest themselves to my mind but enough on this point has been advanced, an ; how I wish to refute the error which 1 conceive to be embodied in the following word ‘My dear brother and fellow sufferer, why do you trouble | yourself about that which tne Great ininite has | Mot chosen to reveal to yout’? | _ fhis statement I consider wholly untrue, and tt reflecta in severe terms upon the character Of God, especially a8 we believe and conceive Him to be | the’ bignest embodiment of love and wisdom, Would there be either justice or mercy on the part of God in placing,»man on tuis planet without at the same time instructing him about the necessary principles and laws by which not only he but the whole world of matter is governed by God, and also enlightening nim fully concerning those laws necessary to be clearly understood, 60 that man should be able io fulfil the behest of the Almignt Creator when He gave the command, “Be truitiui, | and multiply and replenish the earth, and sabdue | tt; aud have dominion over the fish of the sea, | nd over the fowl of the air, and over every living ; shing that moveth upon the earth?” As well might we say tout it would be loving, just and wise for the parent to place the cniid in the midst of powertui, complex and dangerous Machinery in motion, and expect that child not only to “run the machine” properiy, but also to guard itself against the death which, under such circumstances, would be the inevitabie result. Now, I deny the assumption that ‘the Great In- finite bas not chosen te reveal,” either concerning Himself or His laws, but, on the other hand, I post- luvely assert that He hag revealed them to ua by direct revelation, a8 well as in the works of nature, 80 clearly that “wayfaring men, though foois, shall not err therein.” Ii we take the | trouble, which our friend “Ingenuous” seems so much to deprecate, and study the Book of Kevela- tion—the Bibie—together with the boox of man, and also that other book of nature, then City, the Pope sees with the eves of his nuncios, and | these with the | e the Pope has to | commit such an unnatural act as the article | which several very important truths were pre- | the three aistinct yet | N. iL classifications of that worid, animate ana ivani- | Band | to Himself and to our fellow man, is a very great | he has declined and intends to return to his own ing the truth which will make us “wi-e unto | shen we know for a certainty concerning truths “whereof we speak.” In- | Stead of secking to save ourselves the “trouble” oi investigation, let us rather search zealously and diligently after the truth, 80 | far as revealed and developed at the present day, | | each one aiding his brother in the (onreex upward | | and onward, toward that complete knowledge | which it is our ultimate destiny to attain in our | future existence.

Bishop Kavanaugh on the Adaptive- ness of God to Man—Enthusiasm Among the Audienc Sea Curr, L. I, duly 26, 1874. The great feature of this day’s services at Sea Cliff was the sermon of Bishop Kavanaugh in the | ‘rabernacle this morning. It was of such a kind and character as to rouse the congregation to a high state of enthusiasm. There were flights of eloquence im it that li!ted the people up in thought and feeling toward the better world. The order of exercises consisted of a prayer Meeting at six A, M. in the little chapel, which, however, is rather sparsely attended, This meet- ing lasts an hour, At -past eight A. M. @ prayer and experience meeting was held in the Tabernacle. This was well attended and was led by Rev. J. 8, Inskip tnis morning. It was the beat meeting of its kind that has been held on the ground since the opening of this camp gathering. The experiences were of a different character to those given yesterday and were directed to the topic that ts uppermost in the leader’s mind— HOLINESS TO THE LOR ‘The preaching ecrvice this morning was delayed NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JULY 26, 1874.—TRIPLE @ little to permit the arrival of the boat from New York, which brought up # goodly load of passen- gers for the Grove, Among the ministers who are here now and not mentioned heretofore are L. H. | King. C. L. Gtlder (who led in prayer this morn- ing), 0. N. G, Cheney, G. H. Anderson and George | A. Hubbell, of Brooklyn. W. P. Corbitt is also | bere, and Messrs, Inskip and McDonald arrived here yesterday. Kev. Mr. Hebbard, of City Island; R. Meredith, of New York, and Mr. Gothard, of Cy- press Hilis, aud Father Reynolds are bere also. Bwhop Kavanaugh, of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, preached, and as introductory thereto read Lamentations ii., from verse “The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; thereiore | will I hope in Him’’—of which he preached an abie and eloquent discourse on the adaptiveness of God to we necessities of man, The Bishop briefly pictured the melancholy disposition and temperament aj “the weeping prophet,” aud pointed out the only hope of his sou! amid all his trials and sorrows. Job was nexi introduced as an example of one who bad lwoked in every quarter for help, but ound none anywhere, Even lis wife Jailed to encourage him, but vade bim CURSE GOD AND DIE, or, as some translators make it read, bless God. Job, however, found encouragement in the thought that be knew his Redeemer lived, and that ne should stand with Him in the last day upon the earth. The Bishop went on to show the variety which God has given to everything. Call up maa, he said, and you will see the imprint of this variety. He was glad this is so, tor if it were otherwise when we had studied one man we should nave had the character of all. But now, he said, the variety makes the study of man and of nature mteresting. We inquire about his spirit, bis mind, his manners. This book (the Bible) is the grandest commentary of God’s periections tn existence. There is a sense in which we shall get throug’ with this book some day, but we shall never lorget its trutia in all the un- measured days o1 eternity. We shall never get through with the study of the infinite extent of God’s greatness in nature. ‘The most scientific man has only got to the suburbs of creation, and how much more God has made he nas no means of knowing, No wonder, then, that Jeremiah ex- claims that the Lord 1s his portion. “The Lord is my portion, saith my soul.’ It was bis soul that said it. If he had had only a body he would not have required so much to make him happy. ‘The sheep goes out in the field, eats the grass, lies down and chews 1ts cud and is as happy 4s a shecp can be, But is it A MISFORTUNE THAT WE RAVE SOULS which cannot be satisfied with anything less than | God? He has made us religious veings. We must worship sometning. We must have some source of reliance and help, and if you don’t give man a God he will go to work and make one. And the gods of the heathen are the best commentaries on the conditions of their minds, The mind makes the god and the god ts like the man. How different is the God of the Bible—the Caristian’s God. No man can look at himself and not be convinced that there 1s @ great Creator, and nobody but @ fool 18 capable of saying there is noGod. And as the rustte Irishman once said, “If such a man gets to heaven at all it will be by @ fool's pardon.” Lt isa selt-apparent fact that there is aGod. We can’t reason this thing out, but we can stop where the Bible stops—at the first Creator. It is enough for us to know that He is and to | know something of His character. He | can’t be physically present everywhere, because He would fill all space and leave no room for creation; but, being @ pute He is every where present. Is He @ God at hand and not alar or? He can, therefore, bring all the perfections of his | nature to every polnt io space. So that every- | where He is THE ALMIGHTY, OMNISCIENT, OMNIPRESENT GOD. He is here in this congregation to-day, and He knows more about you than you know Oo! your- selves.

David exe claims, How precious are thy thoughts unto me! they are more in number than the sands; tl I should reckon them up in order how great 18 the sum of them! ‘The Bishop, in elucidating the point of God's omnisctence, took Dr, Adam Clarke to account on this doctrine, and remarked that owniscience tm- pled not only the abuity to know all things, but the fact of knowing. And to come to the Doctor's con- clusions, God must first know everything, and then to enable Him to know what He pleased and not to know what He did not please, He must be avie to forget that wnich He had known but He pleased | not to Know, ‘his 1s the logical position in wich Dr. Clarke places himself and God. If [study great men I find detects here and there in them, and, | aiter all, they are like ourselves, fallible. But how different 1s our God! Oh, if 1 must adore anything, GIVE ME GOD, the God of the Bible. ‘rhe Bishop’s eloquence at this point so carried | away the people that there wes a general re- sponse of “Amen!” “Glory Hallelujah!” through. ot the Tabernacle, ‘he Rishop theo passed on to consider the adavtiveness of God’s provisions for man in the life tocome, Christ, he said, will come with the shout of the archangel and the trump of God. Shouting is a sign of weakness, Christ, the king and sovereign of the universe, does not shout. He sits calinly on His cloud of glory and views the scene before Him, But the angels and archangels | accompany Him, and they ehuut because Jesus comes to gather His loved and saved ones to Him- | self, If 1 am there I think I, too, should be weak’ enough to shout. I should have no respect iora | man who would not shout on such an occasion; and if we bring the offering from pure hearts God will pardon our manners on that occasion. The Bishop went on from this point to consider God asa God of hope. Therefore will [ hope in him, says the prophet, He is also a God of grace { and of patience. What are We to hope lor? Eter- nal life, glory, honor and immortality. We are to hope for the ultimate triumph over all our ene- mtes—the world, the flesh and the devil, The vic- tory that ovcrcometn the world is our faith; we | must cructty the old man with nis affections’ and lusts, and we must resist the devil and he will fee | from us. The Bishop next dwelt on THE HOPE OF THR LIFR BEYOND the grave; those whom we shall meet there, some, perhaps, Whom we did not love here. Bat wheu We see them then we shall ask no questions, for it | will be all right, else they would not be tuere. The inhabitants of that land are all cultivated peopie, pure minded men and women. Yhe Bishop re- | Jerred to the alienation that has existed between the North and South and the change that he found here on his visit. Everywhere he is treated as a brother and a lite-long triend. God is a GOD OF ALL GRACE AND CONSOLATION, a God of patience and of hope. Hes an intellec- tual portion, a satisfying portion, an immortal and eternal portion, saith my soul; therelore willl hope in him. Dr. Sargent preached an eloquent sermon in the evening. Bishop Doggett is to preach on Sun- day morning and Bishop viaven in the afternoon. The statement reported to your correspondent as coming from Dr. Lee, which made him say that he could not associate with Northern ministers in tie South, | learn to-day was incorrect. The Doctor's sentiments are altogether different. He did not | like the writings of (ie Bishop, but when he met | him and associated with him he found the man | better than his writings, This explanation is due | to Dr. Lee and to the spirit of iraternal felowslup which has brought him and nis colleagues hither.

HOW IT HAS BEEN IMITATED docile na Enterprise in the Olden Time. [From the Commercial Advertiser.) SARATOGA, July 24, 1874, Since the interest excited by the row between Harvard and Yale, with the probability of fur- ther unpleasantness between the rival crews, bas died out, the chiet subject of gossip among the loungers in this delightiul watering place has been the unsuccessiul attempt of the New York Times to compete with the enterprise of the HERALD, There was in the beginning of the week littie op- portunity to discuss this curious mstance of news- Paper rivalry; but now, when the hour approaches Jor the HERALD special to steam into Saratoga with its Sunday morning edition, still wet from the printing presses of Ann street, there 18 much ce riosity to know whether tbe Times will make an- other effort to supply Saratoga with its Sunday edition, The story of the race last Sunday morning be- tween the rival metropolitan journals is scarcely less interesting than was the trial of skill and en- durance between the college crews. The idea of starting outa special train on Sunday morning originated with the enterprising proprietor of the HERALD. Other journals, it appears, had an offer to share the advantages of this newspaper ex- press; but, not being smart enough to see its ad- vantage, they let the opportunity slip. Wide- awake, as usual, the Heravp then took up the en- terprise as its own, incurring very large expense for tue sake of Keeping its readers posted on what Was going on in the world. ‘The managers of the Times, seeing the unexpected success attending the HERALD express, began fo regret their stupidity in allowing their rival @ clear field in this novel enterprise and chafed under Its contemporary’s success. While tn this state of mind the Coliege Regatta caine up, and after long cogitation and consultation the wise men of the Times resolved to Tivai the HERALD enterprise for at least one day. A special Jimes express should bear the Sunday edition to Saratoga, 80 that the hated rival of Ann street should not bear off the palm on this day, at least. ‘This resolution once taken, circulars Were printed and distributed lar and wide, announcing that, without fail, there would leave New York @ “Times special train.” And now, having made this public announcement and sworn by the spear of St. George that it should be done, even as the sapient managers from over the water had decided it should be, they went to work to try how their eat oath was to be iufiled. John Thomas and his laithful squire, having engaged themselves wo do or die, sailed out immediately in search of Mr. Toucey, the Superintendent of the New York Cen- tral and Hudson River Rauway, and, having laid their case before him, were told, with many re- grets, that the favor sought could not be granted. The HERALD had secured the right of way, and no train could leave ahead oi its special. What, not lor money! and the managers of the Times ex- hibited a large bag of Treasury notes of the newest and latest issue. Five trundred dollars for a train | to beat the HEKALD! $1,000 to beat the HERALD! | but it was in vain, With a thousand poiite regrets, Mr. Toucey informed the supefied Times managers that “the right of way belonged to the HERALD. If | John Thomas and his iriends would apply to Mr. Bennett, probably he would allow the Times to attach a carriage to the train.” But no, this sug- gesticn brought sorrow to the depressed mana- gers foo bitter to be borne. As a lnat desperate | alternative, John ‘thomas olfered his fortune and his eternal {friendship to the man who would help him to get his special edition to Saratoga betore | However, even this | wonderful fit of generosity failed to produce any eflect. Matters were so arranged that it was im- possible fur the Superintendent to grant the | Special train asked for, It was {n vain that the | dimes people thundered and vowed vengeance, | throwing the influence of that wonderful journal | at the devoted heads of the Superintena- | ent and directors, The charter would be | revoked, and not @ rail would be leit on | tue road, so dire would be the vengeance | of the British editor and his dreaaiul wand, | ‘Yhe British Lion 18 dangerous to provoke | and so the frightened Superintendent offered to | place at the disposal of the 7imesa train which would start filteen minutes later than the HERALD express. But, no, Johu Thomas was resolved to beat the HERALD, end bis train should go out first, but to this the Superintendent demurred, He feared the auger of the British Lion, but stood still more in awe of the HxRaLp’s trumpet. duty and nothing but his duty, editor and his trusty squire leit m violent disgust, expressing themselves in adjectives, efore going on his way John Thomas swore by the beard of Mohammed that he would execute | dire vengeance on all concerned. 1tis worthy of | remark that notwithstanding all the grand offers | of unlimited cash the moment the offer to give a special train was made the British Lion became more furious than ever, and immediately began | his retreat. A train fifteen minutes later than the HERALD | express would have served the purpose of the | Times quite as Well as one fifteen minutes before it, | as both would have been obliged to make a junction | at Troy with the same train in order to reach Sara- | toga. But there is a suspicion that the Times did not really want the special train and Was not seri- | ous in its desire to obtain one, If it were other- | wise the offer of a train to leave New York fifteen Minutes later than the HERALD express wouid un- | doubtedly have been accepted. Tnere 18 reason to believe that the fuss was made merely to cover up a very queer proceeding on the part of the “umes. Failing in getting tne spectal | train, ic was impossibie to deliver their Sunday | edition as they had promised. So the ciever | managers, not to be defeated, made up , an extra edition of Saturday’s paper, with | a strung out account of the regatta, | which was padded out, and contained little or no information about the actual race. ‘This un- fortunate edition, Which thus saw the light before | its time, Was intrusted to the care of four picked men, especially selected lor their good looks, This | snow-white hat shone like the white plume of | Navarre, which stood out as a promise of great things to be accomplished, To the care of this chosen company four brand new tranks, well stuffed with sad examples of the Times, were in- trusted. Each paper, that had seen the light when Saturday’s evening star had not yet opened her beautiiul eyes, was dated as though born in tue rosy dawn of Sunday. It was eleven o'clock at night when those mysterious boxes were | stowed away on the last passenger train to Saratoga. Scarcely had the journey been entered on when the troubles of the escort began, The suspicions of the baggage master were aroused by | the actions of the young men, who seemed to fear | some actempt on their precious merchandise. | A close scrutiny resulted in the demand for pay- ment on accouut of extra baggage, which left the chie! and the escort little more than their good | looks to travei on. | On thetr arrival at Troy, at half-past seven A. M.. | they despatched one of their trunks to Albany, | secretly rejoicing that they had beaten the HERALD | at this point at least. But imagine their chagrin | when the peopie informed them that they were Telauing ancient history, The MBRALD Lightning | Express had hours belore visited the town and dis- tributed the news in ite usual prompt and eficient manner. No one wanted Saturday's | Times aiter iooking through the sunday HERALD, and so the poor Zimes men leit the town ‘adder but wiser men, fully convinced that it was useless to try to beat tha | ever Wide-awike HERALD. Of the 500 papers sent | to Albany it is said that 501 were sent back, the difference being due to the agitation caused by | the efforis to clange a Saturday extra into a Sun- On the arrival of the train in Saratoga @ similar disappointment awaited them, as the HERALD Was jound to have penetrated all the hotels and private houses in the city. Some people who in- vested in rhe 7imes exira were sailly disappointed to find that tiey had been badly imposed upon by having Saturday’s paper furnished them tor Sunday's issue, In view Oi the little success at- | tending the Times’ first effort to be enterprising ‘we do nov hope much to see any more Times Sun- | day specials, In any case We are forewarned and | know tha we need hot expect a newspaper, but a penny weekly, by the Times Special Humbug Ex- press, Enterprise in the Olden Time. (From Frederic Hudson’s “History of Journalism.’’) Aiter the New York HERALD had gained its Teputation as a newspaper, and had irequently an- | Licipated its contemporaries in the acquisition of news, especially trom Europe, the Zridune, Sun and Journal of Commerce, of New York, combining with the leading papers in Boston, Philadeipnia, Baltimore and Washington, made one or two pro- digious efforts to destroy the prestige of their sin- gie-nanded contemporary. Intimations of these efforts developed themselves mysteriously, The HERALD, in common with the other journals of New York, pubiisned the following advertisement on the 6th of February, 1846:— AETTREA TOR SUROTR. sh cice sasting f extraordinary, 9 with cho manor and p cked crew, will leave New Yor for Liver: pool on Monday, the st, at twelve o'clock, and re- Yurning wil leave Liverpool on or about the 26th or 27th just. Letter bags will remain open until Monday morn- ing at ten o'clo ‘Thia escaped general observation on the first day of its insertion, But in the excitement in the community on the Oregon question the fact of the So the British | | morning.” 5 despatch of a vossel of “extraordinary speed® goon spread throughout the newspaper omces, | reading rooms, hotels and business circles, What could it meant Some thought it was special government express, with an Oregon treaty quietly made with the British Minister at Washing- ton, Some that it was @ stock or cotton specula- aon, Others that the vessel was to be sent by Sir Richard Packenham with important despatch relative to Oregon, Mexico and Texas. No name appearing with the advertisement and no place indicated where letters could be deposited tended to increase the mystery. It was ascertained, how. ever, that the vessel was one of the jamous pilot boats of New York. Implicit faith was placed in her speed, for she was advertised to leave New York on the 9th, and Liverpool on her return trip on the 26th or 27th of the same month, Once a pilot boat, in pursuit of a defaulter to the govern- Ment, crossed the Atlantic im eighteen days, in- cluding three days’ detention tn a storm. The new enterprise Was arranged to beat that time; but The best laid schemes o” mice and men Gang aftagley. The “vessel of extraordinary speed” was th Pilot boat William J. Romer. ‘She was engaged or the New York Tribune, Journal of Commerce, ter and Enquirer, Sun, Philadephia North Amert- can and several papers in otver cities for the pur- pose of getting news from Europe in advance of the HERALD, and put @ stop to the unpleasant boasting of that paper on the arrival of each packet ship from England, It was deemed espectally necessary to accomplish this object at tnis particu- lar time, when many believed in a war between the United States ang Great Britain on the Oregon question, The enterprise was a splendid one, and leserved success for ifs boldness ana originality and cost, The H&RALD had, by the assistance of the New York pilots, its own Dews boats and its expresses from Boston, anticipated its contempo- raries so many times that they saw the necessity of one or two great efforts to counteract the egort of their neighbor's enterprise, The name oi the Corey who chartered the Romer was so closely kept @ secret that the public for some time after her departure delleved that she was despatched by either our own authorities at Washington or by the British Minister. The pe boat was cleared atthe Custom House by J, . Braine, interested in trade with the British provinces, and the importan! correspondence be- tween Mr. Packenham aod Mr. Ruchanan came out just at that time, These circumstances assisted in keeping the real parties in the enterprise out of sight, It was only tue pecuiariv smiling face of Mr. McElrath, as if he wa= satisfied with some ar- rangement of his own, and the patronizing man- ner of the North American that betrayed the origin of the brilliant effort. The Romer lelt New York on Monday, the 9th of February, under the command o! Captain McGuire, One or two days after lier departure, the Boston Transcript contained the foliowing paragrap! It is ramored that the Portlana folks are going to the Naw Yorx Hxnaup in the joreign ews by the Cam- bria, now six days out from Liverpool. The modus operand: is to have an agent boar! the steamer off Hali- fax, cross over by horses ‘o Annapolis, Join the steamer Kennebec and run to Portland, and irom thence by rail- road to Boston. We are inclined to believe this operation wall cost more than it will cume to. About the time of the appearance of this para- raph private iniormation was received at the fienao office of this extensive arrangement. One day the mail brought a letter from Bangor to Mr. Bennett asking the suggestive question, ‘Are you stocking the road for wn express from Halifax?” Such @ question 80 soon alter the departure of the Romer was a snail problem to solve. Seekin: iniormation the editor of the HBRALD ascertaine the extent of the opposition and laid his plans ac- cordingly. Tne HERALD had arranged an ordinary express to start from Boston on the arrival of the Cambria, iar | over tie Worcester and Norwich roads to Allyn’s Point, thence across the Sound to Greenport and thence over the Long Island road to New York. The expected steamer was commanded by Captain Judkins, @ thorough satlor, an energetic pavigator, and not partial to what are Called “peats,” "The Cunarders at that time ran to Bos- ton only. There Was no opposition. Sufficient time was taken to discharge passengers aud cargo and take in coal at Halifax. ‘They never hurried. ‘rhirty-six hours were occupied in making the run to Boston. The ‘Holy Alliance,’ as the 7ripune and its associates were called, had taken all these facts into their calculations, So it appears bad the HERALD, It became important to notify the agents of the steamer at Halifax of the impending struggie and in‘orm Captain Judkins immediately on his ar- rival that when he reached Boston be would find that bis news preceded him. Human nature is retty much the same in England as in the United States. The HRRALD, in this view, published numerous paragraphs On the great race. and sent them to Halifax to be shown tu Captain Judkins as soon as the pliot stepped on board the Cambria. “Is an express to beat me to Boston?” asked Captain Judkins. “I’u see about that.’ ‘There was never greater activity displayed at Halifax.’ No Cunarder ever remained so short & time in port, and the Cambria made the run to Boston in thirty hours! It wag fair to suppose | that the “Holy Alliance,” entering on such a costly | enterprise, would have all its arrangements for | Speed and success complete from Halifax to New | York. It would be unjust to suppose otherwise. ‘Time and space between these two points were, | therefore, to be fully considered by the HERALD. What did that establishment ao under these cir- cumstances ? No plans existed east of Boston. | Tne only imperfection in the HERALD arrange- ments was in the steamer engaged to connect the Norwich witn the Long Island Railroad. She was | slow. The only hope of the HERALD Was in mak- ipg @ very quick run from Boston, If it beat it would be an Austerlitz, a Marengo and a Jena rolled into one magniticent victory. If defeated, Us opponents wouid call it a Leipsic, if not a Waterloo. If this great overland express was a | success Napoleon Bennett would be sent to Elna. if the Romer anticipated his packet ship he would go to St. Helena. “Eh bien!” To prevent one and accomplish the other of these contingencies a fast steamer was hecessary to carry the HERALD messenger across Long Island Sound. ‘There was one steamer cailed the Traveller, and owned by Commodore Vander- biit, suitable lor this purpose. The HERALD called on the Commodore and toid the siory of the plans of the opposing Journalists and of the importance of the coming news, “What can Ido?’ asked the Commodore, “If I can aid you! will. Thke your pluck.” “We want the Traveler,” said the HERALD, “to run across the Sound, land our messenger at ireenport and then come through the Sound with another messenger.’” “Well, well; let me see,” and, turning to a young man, suid, “Write out an order for the Traveller for Mr. Bennett.” Signing the order the Commodore passed it to the HERALD and said, “There’s the boat. Keep her till your express expires, Now gu ahead. Good “one more word, Commodore, Will you send one of your smartest captains in her, with orders to keep up the fires xud not sleep Y"” ““Yos, I'll sead two.” The Traveller, with Captains Scott and Lefevre, was imediately despatched to Allyn’s Point to await the arrival of the news. Mr. Joseph Elhott, Ol the HERALD, Went on her prepared to catch Mr. Bigelow in his arms as he jumped trom the loco- motive to the steamer. The Boston Transcript, of February 20, 1845, gives the result of the spirited journalistic affair, as iollows:— THE EXPRESSES FOR NEW YORK WITH THE CAM- BRIA'S NEWS. r. L. Bigelow leit the Worcester depot on the locomotive Jupiter on Wednesday evening at eleven o'clock, arrived in Worcester in one hour and thirtecu minutes; from thence to Allyn’s Point in two hours, took the crack steamer Traveller tor Greenport, which place was reached in one hour and forty minutes. Here Mr. Bige- low took the jocowotive Jacob Little and ran to Brooklyn in’ two and a _ half hours, arrived in New York at halt-past seven o'clock, in eignt and @ half hours irom Boston. This, we believe, is the quickest time ever made between the two cities, and was ran exclusively for Mr, Bennett of the New YORK HERALD, beating the Tribune compimation express five and a half hours. ‘fhe latter was ran via Worcester, Hart- ford and New Haven, and arrivedat one P, M., Thursda; ‘The scene around the HERALD office was one of great excitement. The Oregon question for a time was overshadowed by the result of the great ; race, Mr. Bennett immediately had the news from Europe prepared, an thousands of extra HERALD’s prinied; and as the express horse of the “holy Alliance,” | erea with perspiration, passed down sireet to the office of the Journal of Commerce the ¢ newsvoys with extras swarmed after him, Among the crowd Of spectators in front of the H&RALD ‘ding was Colonel James Watson Webb, much amused with the scene before him. He had re+ fused to join in the overiand mail. OLIVER CROMWELL (From the Brooklyn Union.) The HERALD says “it would like to see a statue to Cromwell in the United States.” Then why not erect one in front of the HenaLp office or in the Central Park # Just at present there is a move- ment on foot among newspaper men to erect a statue to John Milton, who was Cromweil’s Latin Secretary. Cromwell came very near being an American, but the HERALD says, “He was as much au American as an Englishman,” which ts hardly true, if he had come over in the Mayflower he would never have been Protector, and would have made no more of a figure in our history than Miles Standish, It is well ior Eagland and for the bu- man race in general that he did not come, ior he did a kind of work in Kurope which no other mi of his time was capabie of doing. The only proper place for @ statue of Cromwell is in Lon- don, and as soon as they have ® republican government tlicre it ts probable that one will be raised in his honor, but not sooner, There 1s no particular reason why @ statue of Cromwell should be set up here, but still if tl HERALD Wants to have one We see no particuial reason Wiy It should not be gratified, As the Tribune, fmes and Sun have a statue of fad hemselves in Printing House Square, | ooue Be @ Very proper thing for the HERALD tt set up for its own special qratification a statue oj Cromwell in front of its oitice, Launt Thompsom would do the subject justice It the HenaLp were t¢ qive him & commission lor the statue,
