T. YORK HERALD.
New York, Thursday, April IA, 1874.


To City Subscribers and Advertisers.
We have received many complaints OF the late
ness of the hour at which the Herald is served to
many of our city subscribers. We admit the fact,
but at the same time, assure them, that on and after
TIE Is, OF May, a most effectual remedy shall be put
TO the evil. Ga that day, we enter our new pre-
misses, at the corner of Fulton and Nassau strees'
where we have now erecting -four double cylinder
printing presses and one steam engine 1--we Oh
these presses are intended for our daily paper, and
are constructed by Hoe & Co., (and we request
them to be busy about them,) on such principles as
will enable us 10 print fire thousand sheets per hour
Our daily edition is so large-being the largest in
chi. country. of any paper which is sold for two
cents-that hitherto we have been utterly unable to
keen mace with its increase, or to serve our patrons
as early in the morning as we could wish. After the
LIST of May we shall be able to crafty all our readers
and kind patrons.
To our numerous and increasing body of advert.
sers, we have also an apology to make. OF late our
advertising business has 80 much increased, that we
have had a constant struggle between the news and
the advertisements. If this pressure continues, We
shall either have to increase our dimensions, or give
a double sheet twice a week, or Issue an advertising
extra. We shall ascertain as soon as possible which
OF these modes, is the most economical 10 us, and
the most useful 10 the public, and take our course
accordingly.
In the meantime, We hope that cur large body OF
readers and advertisers will bear patiently with us
for a little time. The organization of this establish
ment, and the facilities we possess in producing a
leading newspaper, are such as TO defy any compe-
tltIon from any quarter. The establishment of new
papers only strengthen our position and enlarge the
circle of patrons that fall back on our columns. Eve
ny new cash paper, lift only lasts for SIX months,
brings a fresh assortment OF readers into the field who
remain to read, while the paper that taught them
how, sinks away.
With our sincere thanks for all past favors-and
for the great patronage and appreciation we have re-
ceived from an intelligent people, through an unex-
ampled career OF prosperity, persecution, abuse, and
triumph, we beg our readers to be assured that we
shall not relax our efforts an atom in all future time,
while this soul can feel or this heart can beat.
Singular Result OF the INSTRUMENTATION
character Of the new Common Council.
One OF the most remarkable results of the recent
municipal election, Is the. lncomprehensible mystic.
rious, magnetic, political and geological character
of the newly elected Common Council.
The members elect are nearly ascertained, but
what their sentim ents are on the great question that
agltates the country-viz: Clay-or anti-Clay-alias
wing or democrat-it is utterly impossible to
tell. In some of the WING wards Aldermen
have been elected, decidedly in favor of the
present general administration, and totally OPP
posed TO the course of MIR. Clay. Will such
Aldermen uRite with the ultra wings, who abuse
John Tyler, and oppose the democrats or patriots
who give his conduct a fair hearing, and a generous
support? This is the singular question that will agi-
tate the public mind till the new Common Council
meet-this is the incomprehensible. question which
gives a new character and direction to the move
ments Of the Corporation.
The municipal legislature of this imperial city,
will be the first body of representatives, elected
since the division took place between Clay and Ty-
Ter, that will divide on the same influences. From
this circumstance, the whole republic, all Texas, a
fourth of Canada, and half the civilized world, will
wait patiently till their character be settled, On it
hangs probably the next Presidency of the republic.
If a majority of the Common Council are ultra wings
warm friends of Mr.. Clay, that fact will form a
nucleus OF strength and influence that will be of vast
importance to his ultimate chance. On the other
hand, if the Common Council should have a MAORI
ty OF only one opposed to Mr. Clay and his move
ments, that will give an entirely opposite direction
TO the vast moral and political influence of the city.
On the whole, therefore, the character and dispo.
sition of the new Common Council is Invested with
az pretty a mantle OF mystery and doubt as any
mystic could devise. Time alone can tell.
