Ga cents.
A subordinate Branch Of the Moral War.
We stated a few days since our belief that Wads-
worth & Smith, the agents of the British and
American Steam Packet Company, had msmanased
the affairs of that Company. This drew from them
insolent remarks, without argument, ana through
their entrcaties and unme aiming attacks from
the five or six senseless newspapers who conduct
the moral war.
We now repeat the charges, which not all tn in
science fools, bertines, oankruPts,or hypocrite,
placed by accident at the head of press or COM
pany shall induce Us to withdraw. We said they
insu!ted many citizens by sending them with tickets
To see the President which tickets were mockery.
They denied this, and said that the holders Of tick
cts had kept them for several days To this, we re-
ply with the following letters, being two out Of
twenty, which we have received from houses Of the
highest respectability in this city
SATURDAY AFTERNOON, Aug. 18th, 1910.
To J. G. BENNETT, ESQ.
Sir-From your very graphic description. given
In yeur paper, oi the steam ship President, was
induced by several female friends to visit her. l
procured admissions, signed by Wadsworth
smith, which, with two notes OF Introduction-one
10 Captain Fayr.r, and the other to the first officer,
considered, beng thus threeiold armed, we GER
t.inIv would receive No insult but on the contrary,
receive every attention. So, of We went, with
light hearts and merry faces, till presented our
admissions par excellenee;0'' You cant come on
board was the answer :" But we have admissions
to go on board - Can't help it-come in October
you can't come on board" "Will you oblige me
by delivering these notes ~ "No-its no use-Cap-
tain Fayrer is engaged on important business"
By this time, absut thirty interesting ladies, with
about ten gentlemen had collected and crowded
into the porthols-all with admissions-when an o.
fcer, with gold band iound his cap, made his ap
pearance and the following interesting scene took
place :-'' hollo what the devil IS all tins here
orf-6ce-sar-where the-eh-here quartermaster-
why the devil don't you attend to your duty y The
orf6ce-sar, to show his interest In behalf of the
owners, absolutely made the attempt to leap over
three barrels Of -four bat having very short legs,
he made signal failure, and fell over the second

these gents, that If ever they had the toohache,
thought i should like 10 extract them for nothing

New YoRK, Sept. 2, 1870.
Sri have observed your remarks regarding the
steam ship President. and whatever other journals
may say regarding -" black mai" &c, am ready
TO attest to the very bad management on board that
boat l, with several other persons, obtained tick
cts Of ad mission from Messrs. Wadsworth x Smith
week before she sailed, and on the very day OF re
csiving them went mp tn go on board but greatly
to dis ppontment especially TO those who were
with from the country, the impairment fellow
who acts as ship keeper. very uncourtsonsiy pre-
vented us from going on board, though he had but
few minutes before admitted others The low, yul
gar expressions Of this man. and that, too, TO ladies'
rendered IT a matter Of great improperly 10 take
them on board. You at the present time under
rong second moral war, and that too for honest
w telling the truth. The remarks Of other journals
are not worth minding. Finding the attack on you,
rs an editor, unvaling, they attempt now To
sail your do nestle comfort, which will be equally
unavailing. Let Webb beware, however, how lar
he carries his falsehoods il may give him another
opportunity of putting his courage to the test. IL
is one thing to attack man, but when he attacks
a lady, he may find some one ready 10 espouse her
cause " no is not afraid of Percussion Lock and
Mahogany Stock.
Yours, sc. J. h. L.
We think that these are a sufficient to the
subterfuges Of Mr. wadsworth-for we hold Mr..
Smith harmless in this matter He knows his in
terest well, to become party to the folly, and
suicidal caarse Of his partner. But Mr. wadsworth
has charged us with showing revepgeful feelings
because he did not ad vertise with us Indeed. But
let see how stands the case.

ed its rights and claims against all the other papers
wadsworth and Smith had no other defender bu, us

We did not care for their $50 per year, but did
care fr their grateful feelings, which our due

We did not and do not complain of this. Mr.
Smith was in Europe, or he would not have allowed
this upgrstefal procedure. But Mr. Wadsworth
