REPORTING OF THE HERALD.-Ever since we es-
tablished the system of full and accurate reporting
of all public proceedings-ill then unknown in the
and fury of all who had been in he habit OF work.
ing in the dark by ciiques-constant efforts have
been made to impugn the accuracy of these reports
to call them by all sorts of names-and to do all
that disappointed maiignity could suggest to ex
cite prejudice against them. But these efforts have
only elected ridicue and laughter. The fidelity,
skill, and despatch which has characterized our
reporting has never been approached in this coun-
try, and may be equaed, but not surpassed, by the
London press.
We have repeatedly received the most gratifying
testimonials of the excellence of our reports OF
public proceedings. Not long since distinguished
literary gentleman made speech at public din
ner in this city, which was reported in the Herald
OF next morning person connected with another
paper here, took notes of the Speech and after set
ting up all night writing them out, sent them TO the
gentleman in the morning. with a polite note, re.
questlng his corrections. The gentleman thus ad-
dressed, replied, by enclosing the report of his
speech cut out Of that mornug's Herald, which
was accordingly published in the paper referred to,
as usual, without a syllable of acknowledgment.
This is only one out of ten hundred instances in
which the most gratifying evidence has been borne
to the fidelity Of our reports
Recent controversies, too, have demonstrated
most signally the accuracy and the value of our
reports. We allude particularly 10 the case oil
