Who are the SmObsl

The New York Herald publishes a list of the
names of the managers of two rival balls in that
city. Among the managers of one bail are the ed
itors OF the Express among the managers of the
other, the editor of the Herald. The question is,
which of these balls Is the more aristocratc7 The
Herald publishes the names Of both to show that
the Herald ball IL as respectable" as the Express
ball. We have read over both lists in order to en-
able ourselves to come to a clear decision upon q
subject of such thrilling interest, that no man
would be willing to die and leave 1t unsolved. But
we confess our perplexity How are people out of
New York to understand from names, which they
have never heard of before, who are the magnates,
and who are not, II there could be prefx-such
for example as-His Grace, the Duke Of -; or,
Her Grace, the Duchess; Lord, or Lady, &C., &C.,
We should not be all at SEA, bat at present it is ni
possible to come to a conclusion. The culpable
neglect of the founders of this government in fail
ing 30 establish orders of nobility, becomes every
day more apparent and incxcusable. We should
never see such social confusion, we might say an
srcby, as now prevail In New York and other large
Cities if the sages who fabricated our political in
situations had possessed the capacity to construct
social framework suitable to the development Of
that sristocrate germ which lies hidden in repub-
lican breasts. Even Souloque, Emperor of Hayti,
tuse. for he has surrounded his throne with an
ebony aristocracy, from the Duke Of Marmalade to
the Baron Of Terrapiu Soup, which, prior to their
creation by his sovereign fiat, had no more heredi-
tary claims TO rank, and, scarcely less refinement
aud intelligence, than an American aristocracy.-
what a miser able oversight in cur white Iepubli-

not needing themselves the claims OF noble line
ARA and therefore naturally forgot that others, not

resuire the advsnttious aids of rank aud title to
enable them TO look society In the face. We dare
sav that the managers Of both balls in New York
are respectable" men, but what is meant by re
