BLARSEY OF THE New YORK HERALD.-It
is we'll known that the war steamers Niagara
and Mississippi have been detailed by the Sec
rotary of the Navy, to assist in extending the
Marine Telegraphic Cable from Ireland to New
foundland. This is a judicious measure.
1t appears that the publisher of the New York
Herald applied to the Secretary for permission
to place reporters on these vessels, to report the
progress for that paper, and that the request
was refused, because such supernumeraries
would be announcement to the service" Could
any reason be more satisfactory to fair mind !?
But the Herald writer takes the refusal in high
dudgeon. As if the Secretary was not comps-
tent to decide on what was proper for the SER
vice of his Department. But the proprietor or
probably one of his corps of writer's, is of diff
ferent opinion, and resorts to Billingsgate-.
calling the Secretary hard names.
He asserts that reporters were on the English
ships before Sebastopol, drawing rations; and
that, at the memorable review of the feet at
Spithead, special vessels were assigned for the
press. He also alleges that the aids of each
American General in the Mexican war, report
ed for some American newspaper. Very likely
that at the famous review, which was for day
only, reporters were enlisted to magnify to all
the world the grandeur Of the British navy.
But it may we'll be doubted, without better au.
thority than the assertion of the Herald, whether
the aids OF our Generals were not better en-
ployed than in connecting newspaper accounts,
in advance of authentic reports from the Gener-
ais themselves. We doubt it,
The grandiloquent Herald writer, in his cap.
ton, speaks with arrogant complacency of what
he terms the commercial interests of the
world, in Connecticut peddler's view" This
is sheer cockney slang-wang. Admitting for
the sake Of argument, that the commercial
interests Of the world depend on this tele-
graphic line-what then! Would these great
a commercial interests" be jeoparded if scrib-
bier for the Herald could not be harbored on
board Nonsense. What possible good could
he do, If Bennett "paid for'' his grub and
grog, as he offered to do, he could not aid in
paying OUT the cable He would be in the
way if he attempted 10 interfere at all He
would be, as the sailors say, " like a marine
adrift, in every bOdy's mess, and nobody IS
watch" "A landlubber afloat"
days, and may be some twelve or fifteen days
in extending the cable. Meanwhile, no daily
reports could be expected But if they could,
what would it all signify? Nothing whatever.
The reports would prove but the 90 sea scky
alterations" Of a five point landsman and
worse than useless, simply because they could
only be but the crude anticipations of the au-
thentc reports of the scientific officers employed
in the service. These officers would certainly
wish them all to the-tO Coventry. One might
as well prepare an inaugural in advance. 1t
might please the gullible readers of the Herald,
and put money in the pockets of the editor
but how could it advance the " great CONNER
cial interests of the world ~ Not whit
But if the Herald were to be accommodated,
how could the Secretary refuse other reporters
Applications might come in for fifty other re-
porters. Any one who should be refused would
have as good reason to complain. Every prin-
ter's devil would then ''pitch into'' the Secre-
tary after the Heraid's fashion.
The slang of the Herald is not entitled to the
consideration of a pinch of snuff 1t is low,
vulgar, and in bad taste. A jurist and states
man, who has served honorably in both branches
Of Congress, and at the head Of q Department
under two Administrations-high in the conf
dence of his own State and of the National
Executive and unimpeachable
in all the relations of private and public life,
has nothing to fear from the off hand bluffs Of
such writer's. Their shafts fell as harmless "a
pop-guns on Gibraltar. Such a man NAV be
supposed to have a just regard for the com
mercial interests of the world We venture
the prediction that with the judicious arrange
ments Of the Secretary, if the great marine ca
bic be not safely moored, it will not DO because
the presence Of the Herqld's reporters were not
deemed essential. When the work shall have
been accomplished. if successful, land it is vet
great problem to be solved we doubt not
full, prompt, and scientific reports will DO fur
nished to the entire satisfaction Of the world.
