There is trouble in some quarters as to what
we are to do in relation to the Associated Press
We hear from one direction that we are not
going out and from another that we are; and
the public, If it gives the topic any attention,
may well be puzzled to know what are our
purposes-or, indeed, il we have any. All this
interest in our movements is not unaccount-
able. 1t is certainly natural that some poverty
stricken radical sheets should represent that we
are to stay in-sheets that are losing both sub
scribers and advertising patronage; up and
down whose columns one may follow few
advertisements that look bewildered and lone
some in their isolation, like scattered mustangs
Of the prairie driven from the herd. Such sheets
may naturally say that we are to continue in
the Associated Press; for the reputation Of our
adhesion is q strength to that machine. But for
the satisfaction of whoever wishes to know the
truth for papers East, il they wish to know for
papers West, if they wish to know; and for
papers South, if they wish to know, we take
this occasion to declare positively that we are
going out Of the Association. We began life
with some different ideas from those that now
guide our acts. We went into business with
partners then. But we found that would
not do. We always had to kick the
partners out, or they kicked us out
Coming to this city, we resolved to 60
it alone, and did so. For years we fought
the Associated Press, and for years we beat it ;
but at length, at the solicitation Of it's members,
WQ hoCovuo ~ Of - nd
have had enough of it. We have kept the
| straw-made papers alive on our news. News
| gathered from every quarter OF the globe, at
other expenses than those Of money, we have
been compelled to share with all the papers of
this city, who could pay the pittance toward
the mere money outlay but could make no
payment for the expense of energy, foresight,
tact or judgment involved, all Of which, there
fore, went for nothing-which we had to give
away, thus putting our rivals on the same
level with ourselves in things the most essen
tial to success. 1t is due to our readers and to
the true spirit of journalism, no less than to
ourselves and to the devotion and esprit de
corps Of our correspondents everywhere, that
this should STOP Men have exposed them
selves to the fate of battle that the HERALD
might win because their own pride was invested
in it, and have seen that they only secured the
success Of some vague entity of an association
for which they cared not pin. So they have
faced death in the form of this latest scourge of
yellow fever with the same result And this
shall happen no more. We are going out of
the Association. 1t may fight US If it will
that is a tride and they who do not choose to
Hght us may go out with US.

What sre the exact political relations be.
tween Andrew johnson and Salmon p. Chase
As one is the idol Of violent radicals, and the
other the bugbear Of radicalism, they ought to
be, politically, as far as pole from pole-types
indeed, Of the extremes of difference in public
sentiment. But are they! On the contrary,
some facts indicate that these worthless under
stand each other very well. Who. indeed, was
it but the Chief Justice that furnished Mr..
johnson with the only respectable weapon he
has yet employed against the reconstruction
laws! The country will remember that Mr..
Chase persistently refused to hold a court in
Virginia, for the good and sufficient reason
that the State was subject to military authority
yet Mr.. Chase did not wait for military to give
place to civil authority before he held court
in North Carolina. Why the difference. II the
reason was good for one State was il noe good
for the other! 1t is significant circumstance
that the judgments given by Mr.. Chase in North
Carolina are what Mr.. johnson stands upon in
the new opening Of the dispute against the
military laws and in the removal Of Sickles.
What is Chase's position in this muddles Was
his holding the courts and making case for
johnson only great piece Of stupidity or
was it q political move-a thing done for con-
sideration not apparent to the public, but
which they may guess at who know Mr.. Chase g
interest in keeping up the present revenue
system, and know also that II Mr. johnson were
inclined he could so easily sweep that system
away! Again, We inquire, what are the rela-
tons between these two men, Who will
answert
