EVENING STAR.
THE LRAD1Ne NEW yoRr ppr..

The Daily Idea gives the fcllov;no nm
tice of the three leading papers of New
York as they now are:
The Herald next, and we will give Il
but fews words. Bennett Is aged. and his
genius is rotting; Hudson, from hard toll
is used up man, and the Herald is al.
ready on the decline. These facts are in.
controvertible. The Times is rapidly
walking into it, and five years longer will
see it but beggar of a thing,-the
Herald is undoubtedly rich, and now the
best paper for news in the country: vet
it cannot be relied upon for its news, as it
unquestionably publishes what it knows
as false. On Saturday it led the Daily
ldeainto error by publishing downright
lie as an item of news, SO that hereafter
We shall have to look to more reliable
source, or we too may fall in disrepute.
We are now so far advanced in distinct
nationality that it is essential the first Or
gan of public sentiment should be con-
Quoted by one whose affinities are with
US, one whose nature is stamped indelibly
with fepublicanism and American insti
tutions, and one who can thoroughly
comprehend democracy and its attendant
institutions. Bennet now is playing at
looslng game, and we don't know wheth-
er he will come down like a wise coon
without being shot or stand to his post
till hide is torn, till he is threadbare iR
fortune-nOr in fact do we care. 1t
would be wise in him to sell out his es
tabllshment to US On liberal terms, and
Scotchmen are sometimes wise; so we
know not what he may do. nor do we
care, for we are going up, and he may do
as he must.
Raymond and the Times are .ssome"
just at this time, they are both fashy
not built on sound principles. Raymond
is smart, but he is squirt, and his su.
gar and tart gliding will soon desert him.
He is now about as much as he ever can
be, being one of that kind that is smart,
young, and now nearly Oh The turning
point. Some says he will, be governor
yet; but we say Cannon! The Times
will go with Raymond. If we should
break down with the Idea we will write
the editorials for the Times, while Little
Corporal is performing the duties of Lieu
tenant at Albany for one thousand dollars
week, but even then we would not blow
the pipe he pleases.
We sigh when We think of the Tribune.
On Horace! that you could again see the
days OF travelling on foot, small wardrobe,
short pants, and jammed hat! Would
1t not be well for you were you only a |
picture of a long headed Yankee, with
banged cady, pants minus half the length
OF leg, and boots with soles seeking to
rise above all others leather? In short, |
were it not well for thee if thou vert
again lad seeking to rise above difficult |
ties and had sufficient sense to guide thy
bark SO that it would not be imperiled
by SO many breakers as it now is ! Shift
ting and tacking in political sea where
designing leaders pull adverse wires, like
tacklng, upon the ocean when adverse
wind do blow, is very dangerous. And
thou y Greeley, even now hast received
a gust broadside, from those you thought
would blow you on to fortune. Oh how
we pity thee. Twill tell you what we
will do Mr.. Greeley, as you have been a
pretty good stager On the great highway
of moral progress, if you will just Jump
on to our platform we will carry YOU for
nothing, but you must not try to dead
head Seward and Weed. Come, take a
ride on the platform of the Idea, Mr..
Greeley, you will find it more of Jehu.
than your Tribune ever was? again we
ask you to ride, and let hobby of many
isms be considered used up nag, for its
ribs will be apparent soon unless you do
turn.-Turn again, but never turn
gain.''
