the departure Of this great vocalist We have seen
number Of disrespecful remarks, and malicious
inuendos, in some obscure journals around us, re-
lative to his professional conduct,. during his So
journ in this city, without understanding the cause
of the difficulty We now hear that all this hos
tility has arisen from certain black mail leves,
made by certain gentlemen connected with some
obscure journals, published this city, Of which,
probably, TempIeton knows nothing, and never
dreamt Of In reference to this subject, have re-
ceived the following droll epiyle from Mr.. Clire-
hugh, the hair dresser in Broadway, which dis
closes the secrets Of the matter =

We are perfectly willing to give Mr.. Clirehugh the
benefit Of his statement, and we assure him that we
mean no offence to him any one else. We differ,
however, with Mr.. Clrehugh about the vast magni
tude and Importance Of the matter in dispute be-
tween HIM and Mr.. Templeton. We believe that
the whole OF it amounts to but few paltry dollars
that is, Clirehugh makes claim OF $500 on lem
peton, while the latter thinks it ought not to be
more than shave of one or two hundred-ln tact,
mere money account, which the public have no.
thing to de with, and care nothing about Temple.
tom came here and gave concerts; had successful
run, and concluded by giving concert for the oeae'
fit Of the poor, and left for other cities whether
he owes Mr. Cirehugh one dollar or fifty dollars,
the pcbIic don't care fig, and will let them settle
| it between themselves in the usual way
But there is another portion Of Mr.. Cirehugh's
epistle which is very amusing, and which discloses
some Of the secrets Of journalism particularly OBJ
scure journalism, in New York. 1t seems that there
is set Of reporters connected with these journals
who expect compensation for attending MIR. Tenn
pleton's concerts, and writing favorable criticisms
| of them Now, we venture to say that all black
mail contracts of that kind were totally unknown tf
| Mr. Templeton, and we should like to know wha
journals and what reporters are complaining Of mo-
receiving their provender and provisions. We have
been given to understand that the Erpress, the Epe
sing Mirror, the Tribune, and. perhaps, or two
other papers, in this category; but we don't know
accurately This is one OF the most singular dis
| closures about black-mail journalism Of New York
that we have seen in a long time. With respect t.
ourself, we have never heard Of any person con
nected with this paper being guilty Of anything Of
the kind and if we had, we would have dismissed
him ON the moment. a. Fl
On the WHOLE then, the attempt Of the black mail
men to blacken Mr.. Templeton in this country, vii
be properly appreciated by the public. And al
regards MIR. Clirehugh, we advise him to settle hi
account with Templeton the best way he can; fo
the public care nothing about either of them
further than that they willing to give Tempetor
fifty cents night for capital collection of songs
and Mr.. Clirehugh ten cents for capital shave. o.
twenty-five cents for exquisite cut of the hair.
