enemies try to revive them; put sucn az
tempts have always been failures but now
that the press of Europe has taken tnA' matter
up, and treats of the HERALD as diigonsiy ana
copiously as our own press, we may expec1
more food for mirth from such stories. We snail
see them invented here, sent across the
Atlantic, revised and improved there, and tnen
returned to us in new forms and with further
particulars, like the old fable Of the three black
crows. In this way the list OF subscribers to
the rebel cotton loan, which was communicated
to the press by the State Department came
back to US endorsed by the London papers a.
"a HERALD forgery" We notice, however, that
year by year, although the reports about US
grow wilder and more numerous, they lind
fewer and fewer persons credulous enough to
believe them Time always vindicates US from
every SANDER Tho objects and motives of the
HERALD are steadily and rapidly becoming
more and more thoroughly known and re-
spected and we can therefore well AFFORD to
smile at attacks that are as impotent as they
are malicious.
LrvEIMEss m NEW YoRK-The city of New
York. as the metropolis Of the nation,
promises to be as lively the coming winter
as 1t ever was during a previous season.
Two years ago we had the shoddy aristocracy
in full blast and brilliant vulgarity. Last
year we had the petroleum aristocracy, which
flashed like a meteor for while, and suddenly
went into darkness as dense as dry oil well.
This winter we shall have an aristocracy OF
heroes and practical men-an aristocracy based
upon reunited and gigantic republic, more
powerful, if not as dazzling, as any OF the aris-
tocracies of the Old World. While Washington
city will be the capital where all the Kitchen
work OF the nation will be transacted, New
York will be the metropolis where all the bril-
liant men who have passed through The cruci-
BILE Of the rebellion and come forth like bur-
nished gold will mingle with our practical
men and lovely women, and erect an arts
tocracy Of patriotism and brains, beauty and
wealth, that shall be enduring.
That New York will have lively winter
there is every indication. The FIRST class hotels
are already filed to excess, and will be obliged
to increase their dimensions as well as their
rates of fare Both, we believe, in some In
stances, have been determined upon. These
hotel Represented princes in their way-are
pretty good barometers of the movements OF
the fashionable as we'll as travelling population.
Besides the hotel palaces already ornamenting
the city, several new and splendid ones are
contemplated-one by Cranston, intended 70
eclipse everything now existing, and another
by the Lelands, that is intended to eclipse
Cranstons. The Lelands have already nearly
completed their extensive enlargement of the
Metropolitan, with its new and immense ban
quet hall, which will prove the hotel wonder
of the season; but they intend to Guido
themselves on their new and magnificent hotel
on the grand Partisan plan, charter for which
was granted by the last Legislature. Besides
these new hotel projects, our far-seeing CAPT.
talis!s are preparing 10 erect new theatres and
opera houses on the most eligible sites in the
city. A new French theatre is already in
course Of erection. and the ground for new
opera house selected. A free museum and
geological garden is already fully under way
in the Park. A new theatre is to be erected
in the Bowery, which will be relieved Of the
dramatic bucherics that nightly occur In the
theatres now there. There will be as many
people in the city this winter seeking amusc-
mont as ever, and the managers OF theatres
might have profted by their presence had
they not been both mean and stupid. There
will be more private balls and parties this
winter than usual, and the silly managers, in
discharging their musicians, only afforded the
public better opportunity for the selection Of
high order Of musical ability to enliven
private salons and soirees dansdnte. Those
parties--gay, chaste and fashionable-will take
the place Of the old iAestres during the winter.
Thus, while the silly, and selfish, and stupid
are going to smash, we see the live and
electric men and capitalists Of the age in
augurating new schemes that will keep pace
with the ever increasing prosperity Of the city
| in all that relates TO the comfort of strangers
the pleasure Of its inhabitants, the besgty Of
It's Embellishments and the grandeur OF its
proportions.
