The Lone AFFAIR.

The venality of part Of the press Of New York 10
notorious, and the ixcsmpeteRcy tamounnng IN
some cases to imbsclity) of Its conductors, 10 pro-
verbal. The Courier & Enquirer is large sheet,
but desttuts of sodi,y and sterling qualities, that
it has received the universal appeatlon Of the puff
ball" Whatit says is matter Of not the least i'm
portance in the communicable its nominal con-
ductor and proprietor il is boated humbag, and its
opinions are despised by thinking men.
When we consider that . lew-bred petty. foggng
EDglishmaa named Hosken, complete Oilver-le-
Dam in principle without 1.-THE of the talent of that
renowned rascal,) conducts the Courier who can
wonder its sayings are 50 little worth. We have
seen this ill looking parsonage deormed both IN body
and mind, SO stupefed with intoxicating liquor, OF an
evening at the Courier Office, that he was not able to
read the proofs of the paper or TO use the scissors in
his editorial capacity; and yet this genius conducts
the foreign, including the Meziean, department, and
writes the articles and makes up the news for the
same.
We deem it necessary to state this, to show what
weight is due to the leading article in the Courier
yesterday relating the Lone. We have heard that
the Courier is or in the pay of the Mexican gov
eminent. This may be rue-n may be false!-but
wish all who know aIght of the matter to tell
what they know.
We intend by argument and facts on Monday to
expose this Hoskcn and the rascality of Mexico
their murders of American ci,lzens-the bloody mas
sacre OF Goliad land all their crueltes to- and rob-
berries of American citizens! Citizens of America re-
member, this low minded fellow, Hosken, sanctions
the blood thirsty cruelty Of Mexieo-the government
that mastered your brothers, and fathers and sons,
in cold blood at Goliad!!
The following are the opinions of the American and
the Journal, on the subject =
The case of the re. capture Of the schooner Lone
about which much boasting has been made as
cute Yankee trick, turns out TO be an affair IN no
wise credtable TO those concerned. II seems that
Captain Blake was liberated on parole not to at
tempt to re-take this vessel, which parole ne has
forfeited. BY giving il, he acceded virtually 10 the
legality OF The capture. representation OF the
case has been made in The proper quarter, by the
French Minister, which will, no doubt, lead TO an
inquiry, and full development of all the creum-
stances.-Amertcdn.
The SCHOONER LoNE.-lt turns out, as we feared,
that the recapture Of the schr. Lone by her Captain
and two nen, assisted, 1t appears by passenger,
occasoned IN the first instance by the desire Of
the French Commodore to deal literally with our
vessels, and then by the excessive confidence repos.
cd in Capt. Cla ke by the prize MASTER who treated
him and his men mere like companions than prison.
1t is further said that Capt G. had given his pa
role of honor that he would not attempt retake the
vessel. If this be his laurels pretty thorough
ly blanched. There is no glory in an achievement
effected by dshonor-.jeurnal
From Vol. of the American Diplomatic Code We
extract the following, in connection with the law Of
blockade =

But the Lone was forewarned and by the Cap
tan's conduct was confscated.
And In conclusion to day, we have simply to say
that the French officer treated shamefully by
Capt CLARK, the one who saved the lives of the
officers and crew of the American schooner Atalanta
oFTampico, in 1885, to whom the Mayor and Corps-
ration of this city wished to pay particular honor ;
and in relation to whom the following letters passed
between the commander Of the Inconstant, and M.
De La Forest, French Consul
Copy Of letter addressed to the Captain of the
brig lnconstant, by NJ. De Laforest =
SIS-I regre; extremely that you deem il your
duty 10 leave our harbor the civil and mil
iiary authorities of New York have informed me that
il would afford them much pleasure to be able TO ex.
press IN public manner their grateful sense for tho
assistance so generously rendered by your Ulcers to
| the u. s. schooner ATLANTA.
The Mayer and Major General Morton have re-
quested that would officially convey the expression
Of their gratitude 10 the Minister of Marine who, no
doubt will appreciate the courage and boldness dis
played in that circumstance by the officers Of the
lnccnstant.
