be necessary 10 commence the business with suffi

of Europe added to the inventive power of this
country, a profitable manufacturing business
would result. Indeed, in the matter of toys there
is an immense field for productive ingenuity.

Immunity from abuse, Misrepresentation, and
SANDER can only be expected by . public journal
on condition of possessing neither character nor
influence; and as general thing We accept what
falls to us in that line with an Indifference which
is partly the result of reflection and partly Of
habit. But occasionally it becomes necessary
to lay aside this tranquility and to repel the
assaults made upon US; and such seemed to be
the case when the recent severe and iojudicous
structures of The PxJlshers' Circular accusing the
pre,s 10 general of bribery and corruption,
attracted public notice. We were well aware
that various persons, actuated by motives of pr.
yate disappointment and malice, had busted them
selves for months previous in circulating and 10.

tions Of yenality On our part we saw also that the
friends of those persons, as we'll as our own
chronic enemies, made haste to take up the a,cu.
sation Of The Publishers' Circular and 10 fix il
directly upon us and We at once determined to
improve the opportunity and to silence these busy
calumniators in the only eaectual way by holding
them Immediately and personally responsible
before the public.
Among the parties who, o. we were crediby in
formed, had been wont to repeat the calumnious
allegations in question, were the members of tbs
firm of Mason Brothers, either one or both, from
one of whom proceeded the article in The Publish
e's Circular; and uIder that impression we, at
once and repeatedly ara'gned these gentlemen in
our columns. Explanations have since been had,
in which they give Us the assurance that our In
formation was altogether incorrect, and that what
ever Others may have done, such calumnies have
never been entertained nor circulated BY either Of
them. Their assurance We are bound to regard as
conclusive and in view of we desire to state that
the language used with respect to them. under .

THE TRIBUNE has in view the good of its readers
rather than the good Of somebody else who waats
to sell something to those readers, or to buy some
thing of them, or somehow to make some profit out
of them OF course we expect to encounter the
frequent complaints and sometimes the loud exc
cratons of those whose pursuit of their own private
advantage We do not and will not serve.
In mai ing up our reports Of the Cattle Market,
our great object has been to convey to our intel
ligent readers throughout the United States en-
gsged in the important business Of cattle raising
the most full and reliable information a. to the
actual value Of cattle in this market The utility
;ef such Information to the PRODUCERS, end to the
public generally, however it may interfere with
the scbeces of some speculstipg persons who
would prefer to PROFIT BY the ignorance OF the pro-
ducers, is generally Acquitted. Even the dssatis-
fed parties who met the e,sher night at Tammany
Hall to Genounce The TRIBUNE, the railroads.
and the cattle. brokers, do not atemps 70 deny tne
benefits Of such q market report. Their COM
plsint is that THE TRIBUNE does mo- report the
prices Of cattle to suit Them and they propose 70
establish an organ of their own for that special
purpose. This they are at perfect liberty to 20
We do not interpose the least objection toit. But
whetkera paper known as the special organ Of
the speculative droyers will be apt to supersede
The TRIBUNE in the confidence of the raisers Of
cattle remains to be seep.
In answer TO the charge Of " false" dishonest
Injurious" al even Infamous reports brought
seainst us In the call and resolutions Of the Tam
many Hall Getting, we have only to say, that
neither we nor our reporter ever have the slight
eat periopal interest to misrepreseDt the facts
Some of these facts are obtained from drOyers,
some from owners, some from butchers, some from
the class known as cattle brokers-who. as well
as The TRIBUNE and the railroads, seem to have
fallen under the ban of the Tammany Hall meet
ing and rome from the personal observation of
our reporter, who has the reputation of having
himself some knowledge of cattle. DrOyers who
would buy low and sell high, constantly complain
that the prices are reported too high The cattle
brokers, as q body, are anxious for q perfectly
true report and they take the personal RESPONSE
biliy for the correctness Of the reports of their
respective sales which are given under their own
names Some Of them very likely when applied
to for information may have estimated the prob.
able average price Of drove too high, but genef.
ally their estimates fail in being too Low.
The only persons who appear to have strong.
direct personal interest in false report of the
cattle-msrket are that very class Of specializing
drovers who got up the Tammany Hall meeting,
bat who, we are happy to say, constitute but a
small portion, aud by no means the most respecta-
bic portion, of the great body Of the drovers.

innOc, of the charge on which he was recently
tried, and states that the resignation is made from
affecting that Judicial magistrate ought to be free
not merely from all actual guilt, but from the sua
picion of it. No doubt the personal friends cf
Judge Stuart will agree as TO the proprety of his
present step, while we trust that there is no in
all the community who will no: rejoice to see his
future career altogether Obliterate the stao which
the recent proceedings have necessarily cast upon
his reputation.

HINT TO THE POLICE COMMITTEE.

Our friends Of the South have single "institu-
ton which overshadows, controls, aud mOdfes
their whole social and political system. We in
the City of New York, have two institutions"
Intimately allied and cooperating together, the
joint pfu. nee Of which upon our so ;ial and polid
cal state may bs almost compared with that Of the
single Institution" Of the South. The best
known of them is that which has for it's OBJ
ject the supply of our citizens, and the Du-
merous strangers who witt W, with intoxi
eating liquors. 1t exists in the shape of some
thousand drinking places nicely adapted to suit
all tastes ard purses, from the bars of our first
hotels down to the vilest grog-shop of the Five
Points. On these 1t is not our present purpose to
dwell Their fatal influence upon the health the
morals, the productive industry, the politics and
the finances Of this city have by the lsbors of the
Temperance societies been already placed before
the public.
The other twin institution, that Of our numer'
oxs brothels, is much less distinctly known to the
