HARLEM RAIL RoAD.-Unless the travelling super

travel in the rail after dusk Deeming IL our duty
TO inspect regularly all the public cenveyances, &C.
&c, as well as places of amusement, we rode out 10
Harlem and back last night. The cars were half-ful
OF rioters and drunken rowdes who attempted TO in
suit two ladies in the cars but were prevented The
attendants 10 the cars noisy and unclv and the
loafers who ride backwards and forwards are such
perfect nuisance that again we say, unless some bet
ter regulations introduced ladies should not ride
in the cars after dark. We have examined the modus
operandi-aRd this is our verdict
Growth and Popularity Of the Herald.
The organization of the HERALD ESTABLISHMENT
Is now complete. Our steam engine-doube-cyln-
der-tAree news boats-our foreign and domestic
respondence-o money and commercial markets
our theatrical cricisms-our law and police reports,
all united and condensed into one system, under the
personal inspection and supervision of my SELF the sole
editor and proprietor, enable us to issue two daily
and two weekly papers with ease and despatch.
For many weeks past we have beaten all the Wall
street paper. in ship news, foreign and domestic arrv-
ais and local intelligence of every kind. The superb
orty of the Herald in commercial matters is now as
universally acknowledged as it has for a long time
been in every other department in life. In every
branch of new spaper our intellectual and physical
elements far superior to any other IN this city
Asa natural consequence of this powerful organlza-
tion the popularity and circulation of the Herald
increasing beyond that of any former period. This
increase and this popularity are not new as in 1885
and 1896, confined 10 the city or neghborhood-they
are coexteasve with the whole Union, and even
reach to foreign countries. As a specimen of the
extraordinary and powerful movement the Herald is
producing on the public mind the following
letters received Except the nsmes for day-yes
terday-from persons residing in every section of the
