IT, Probably Major Noah knows something about
this money. He, we think, was fairly entitled to
some OF 1t. He gave up Office worth $4,000
year. and what has he got in returnl Nothing. If
then he neglected to pay himself out of the $4,000,
all we can say is, that he must be sadly deficient in
that wisdom and discretion for which his brethren

inatentlve to the observance of the precepts OF his

looking about for another paper, it was discovered
that the "Aurora" was in the last stage of consump-

the same process of collection adopted in the case
of the "Union." about $1,000 were obtained, and
the 'Aurora" became the organ and residuary lega-

1t would appear, from the aboveresolutions, that

by this rump' of the ancient Tyler party in order

administration in each of the wards. but with the
additional piece of advice to unite with the demo-
cratic party in all practical operations. 1t is also
now understood, that John c. Spencer is at the head
of the Tyler movement in this State and city. The
| recent appointments of number of postmasters in
different places, has given foretaste of what is
coming, and it is very confidently anticipated that

The REVOLUTION IN THE NEW YORK NEwspA.
PER PREss.-The revolution in the newspaper press
OF this city, Is still going ahead-partcularly in re-
ference TO the Wall street journals. Yesterday two
of these journals bent to the times, and exhibited
unequivocal symptoms of decay or change
First, the New York American" conducted by
Mr. Charles King, the brother of Mr.. King, of the
firm of Prime, Ward Il King, of Wall street, came
out and announced the abandonment of the old ere.
dit system, and the adoption of the cash SYSTEM be-
sides the reduction of price to ttco cents per copy
This presents symptom of respect towards the sys-

bllsh permanently in New York. that speaks much |
for the good sense of Mr.. King. If in abandoning |
his old system, he would also abandon his PRIDE his
arrogance and his pretension, by substituting indus
try and humility in their stead, he might hope to
succeed and prosper. AS it L. we can only regard |
this unexpected movement as an evidence of the |
great revolution that is going in newspapers, soci
ETY., politics and every element Of humanity in this
country.
The other newspaper change is the announcement
for sale, made by the " Standard" which Is offer
ed on easy terms" And in good sooth, the terms
must be very easy to induce any person to pur
chase
Both these movements are strongly indicative of
the revolution in the newspaper press. The eek

times" to adopt the system introduced 10y The Her

power and influence. But if these, or all the Wall |
street press expect to succeed OF to live for five
years, they must not only adopt system of doing
business, they must also procure from some quar-

posed TO all hypocrisy and humbug in every element
OF human life. We fear very much, however, that |
all these restless changes in the Wall street press are
only signs of decay, death, and dissolution. Let us
wait and see. |
