ABusx.-During the receat Railroad Jubilee
in Boston, one Of the gentlemen connected with
this Establishment, vas there for tho purpose
Of corresponding with this Journal and keep
ing our readers advised Of what transpired in
that city DUNG the three days In some of his let
ters he commented on the want of courtesy exhibit
ed to him by the Boston authorities and referred to
member Of the committee Of arrangement, as un
qualified for the position in which he was placed.
The gentleman who represented the New YORK
HERALD on that occasion, has been connected, in
various capacities, with this journal for number of
years past we have reason to know him thorough
ly, and satisfied he is incapable of doing any
thing that would reflect discredit on himself
or on this journal The remarks had their
effect upon the Boston public. The cap ap;
peared to ht the person to whom they applied
to nicety, and the individual penned q vul-
gar and coarse attack on our correspondent
1t signed 50 37S5 - but why the writer
used such signature is best kn own to himself In his
excitement, however, we suppose he added figure
too much no doubt he intended TO write 373
that being the number of tickets for the festival
which, it was said, he distributed among his own
aequantances We suppose he despatched these
in "perfumed" envelopes, being determined to
make the most Of the position in which he was, for
the first time in his life, and by accident, placed.
To give pungency to his abuse, he quoted Shaks-
peare in his comm uncation In wing illustrations
from that source, he cannot be compared to his
classic rival the razor strcp man, who certainly is
far in advance of him in the appropriateness of his
extracts. The scented soap man has much to learn
before he can equal his rival in quoting from the
immortal bard. Thus much a small subject.
There is not the slightest room for doubling that
the Boston authorities guilty of great many
biundere in their arrangements for the RailroadJub
lee. The first error they committed was in vesting
authority 10 any person other than the Mayor, or
some other gentleman All their other errors we're
the consequence of the first. The pre- ,sof Boston,
and the representatives Of the press from distance,
were not emily refused common courtesy, but were
treated as if they Of no account. The festival
was at the expense Of the public, and part of it
should have been inaccessible to the press Strange
to say, however, there was not single scented
card Of invitation issued to the Boston press
for the dinner to the President and his cabi.
net at the Revere House, nor Q single per.
famed invitation extended to any editor in that
city to accompany the President on the excursion
down the bay. There is but one way Of account.
II for this, viz: that the committee of arrange
ments, and the authorities generally, expected to
make asses OF themselves over their wine and were
fearful their brayings would be given to the public
Their quotations from Shakespeare, which no doubt
they literally INDUCED in at the dinner, would
create some amusement if printed in the newspa-
peJs. Indeed, the much abused, but very efficient
Marshal Tukey and Mayor Bgelow, two of the
very few persons connected with the city govern
ment of Boston, who knew how to conduct them
selves properly on the occasion. The latter, how "
ever, allowed himself to be governed too much by
the several cliques comprising the committees of ar
rangement.
In not noticing in proper manner the indgni
ties offered to them during the festival the Boston
press forgot their position and did injustice to their
cotemporaries throughout the country. As far as
the NEW YORK HERALD is concerned, it will main.
tain its dignity, and win rebuke in proper manner
all scented officials in Boston, or else where who at.
tempt to slight or to deny its rights.
