EkGLsH AND AMERICAN JocRAAIIsM-The full
and accurate description given by telegraph in
our columns yesterday, OF the ceremonies at
tendant upon the Prince Of Wales reception in
Boston, must have considerably astonished and
exercised the local press there. Not only we're
all the proceedings of the day, including the
grand military review on Boston Common. re-
ported with the same minuteness as were the
circumstances of the Princes reception in New
York, but everything which occurred at the
ball was faithfully given, up to the hour of mid
night The Boston papers, considering the ex-
ira arrangements made by them for this grand
event must feel somewhat out OF sorts at find
ing themselves equalled on their wn ground.
for a comparison of the reports will show
that we have given as full and as graphic
an account CT its incidents o. any that
they have published. The Portland papers
will make similar discovery. In the same
number of the HERALD they viii find a full de-
scrption Of the royal squadron and Of the ball
given 10 its commodore and officers. the toiettes
Of the Portland bellies included. Thus we have
closed up worthily the efforts made by the metro
poiitan journals since tie landing Of the Prince
of Wales on the American shores. In no instance
have the royal party been compelled to trust
to the imperfect arrangements OF the local press
of the different places they have visited for
report of the events in which they took part.
All this has not, o. course, been accomplished
without great expense Our bills for special
telegraphic reports for the period covered by
the Princes sojourn in the British provinces
and in this country amount in the aggregate to
a sum that would cover more than a whole
years telegraphic expenditure of the London
papers combined. We give the weekly amounts,
promising that these bills are exclusive of the
charges OF the Associated Press for additional
matter, and are mostly for reports furnished in
connection with the Prince OF Wales Wait

THs C,rr ELECTIONS THE HsR,Ip's
TIcKET.-In little more than a fortnight an
election will be held In this city for various
ofiices-for members Of Congress, for the State
Assembly for seats in the judiciary. and for
county Offices. For these positions candidates are
nominated by different parties and factions
some by Tammany Hall, some by Mozart Hall,
some by the Bell and Everett men, come by the
Union men, some by the Douglas faction, some
By the Breckenridge party, and some by the re
publicans. How many other kind of stripes
there may yet be In the field in addition to
these we cannot say.
Some Of the nominations have been made 10
and dirty places, some even on the sidewalks;
and most OF them have been bought and sold
for cash down, like 80 much beef at the

Probably the worst men in the whole list will

this operation may therefore save themselves
the trouble Of making out select ticket We
intend to take that matter In hand ourselves,
and few days before the election we will pub

from Tie various tickets in the field, or from

To The above have to be added the amounts
OF the last two weeks accounts, making for
about two months and bali total of upwards
Of $4,000 expended for special telegraphic re
ports for the HERALD, independently Of those
furnished by the Associated Press
We advert to these facts merely to show how
superior in liberslity and enterprise is the Anne
rican to the English press, which ridicules US
because we have made display Of those quail
tiee, on an occasion deeply affecting English in
terests that has cast its own exertions and those
of the Canadian journals far into the shade. The
truth IT, that ever since our first telegraphic re-
port from ST. Johns anticipated by more than a
London Times, and compelled that and other
London papers to borrow from our columns,
:" the Thunderer" has been specially wroth
against US. Although 1t has continued to owe
to US the same obligations down 70 the present
time, it's correspondents taking from our reports
of the Princes movements more than one half
the faSs which they are supposed to acquire
BY personal observation, 1t has not as yet mend
I'd its manners or exhibited the least indication
Of gratitude. We can afford, however, to set
our London contemporary an example Of equa-
nimity. We console ourselves with the refec-
ton that If the New York and London journals
had to compete with each other in the same To-
cality the latter would soon sink to the position
now relatively occupied towards us by the
country press. In other words, We should do
all the work while they did all the bluster.

noihing for any of the parties or any Of the
Candidates Ia the field. We have never mixed
in the dirty pool Of politics, and we want no
ofice; but, IN common with large mass Of our
fellow ci,,zens, we want good government, aud
we will try to have it by some means or other.
Meantime We will inquire into the history
and the in tellectual and moral character OF the
different candidates, and announce the result
to our readers We have the means OF finding
out all about them. and will probably enlight
en- the people about several Of theee aspirants
to public offices, of whom they know little or
nothing, but who have been palmed OF upon
them as worthy Of their conddence-worthy to
be entrusted with the administration OF public
Justice, the custody and control Of the public
money, and even the property and the lives Of
citizens-when no good man who Is we'll ac-
quainted with them would trust them in the
most trifing matter, but would deem the CON-
munty unsafe as long as these jail birds were
not Gagged in Sing Sing or suspended by the
neck with very long and very strong rope.
