A SPECIAL dispatchlto the Cincin
natl Times contains an important
item that we failed to discover in the
personals of the New York Herdld.
/ The dispatch is dated November 1st,
l23 p NJ, and reads as follows =. o~
JAMES GoFdbni Bennett. Dr., late man
I ager of the Herald, was arrested this morn
4 ing, in Broadway, for drunkenness and
/ dtsorderly cenducts He resisted the officer
! who arrested him, and fought all the way
to the Station House, being frantic from
| excessive use of liquor. He was kept in
confinement ali night, and this, noon dis
/ charged. Attempts to Keep the 1nfortun-
ate affair secret viii prove abortive, ow-
ing to a bitter feeling against the Herald.
The cause Of the young mans dissi pation,
| since his return from mis- yachting excur-
father. and his dismissal, yesterday, from
| the office.
Noman in New York. has done more
to build up and sustain the drinking,
gambling, theatrical and horse racing
institutions of that great city than the
proprietor of the New York. Herald.
His paper for years was their mouth
piece and champion. Every act of
the Legislature, and every ordinance.
of the Common Council, thatinfringed
upon what these institutions regarded
as their special privileges, was always
denounced by the Herald and every ;,
thing in their favor as promptly ad-
vocated and defended Z Whole col1
umns of f1orid editorials were devoted
to pfaising e3 kibfdons, IN themselves
immoral, and the individuals of doubt
full reputation and honesty who con-
.trolled and conducted them. By the
above telegraph dispatch, we see that
Mr.. BENNETT, ST., is receiving the. re-
ward of his services. IL seems to be
enc of the inevitable laws of Divine
Providence that evil counseis and
Krong actions, like. chickens, shall
always come home to roost. Mr..
BENNETT, no doubt, had INDUCED in
pleasing dreams of the future Of the
great Herald he had built up, with
his favorite boy as It's Editor and Pro
prietor, and the summary 7dispersion!
Of these fancies by the incompetency
and dissoluteness of his boy is adisap-
pointmeut which must fill up the re-
rnainder Of his days on earth With Keen
anguish. Other boys have been at
tracted to haunts of immortality and
vice in the great city by the 'Herdld's
gorgeous descriptions of the, same, !
and thence quickly IA n to ruin. WHO /
so we'll calculated to keep them com
pxay as the son of the man who en-
ticed them into these paths of folly?
People have wondered at the sud
den conversion ofthe Sunday Herald
into newspaper devoted largely to
churches and religious notices, and
have been at a loss to discover
the cause. Perhaps the above. dis |
patch furnishes key to unlock tie
mystery. 1t were high time for a man
to pay some attention to morality and
religion, when. his own boys start on +
the road to- misery and despair t.
were high time TO pay less attention
to aGdsements that lead astrag and /
more to those virtues which purify
and preserve the soul. when ones !,
OWN household is invaded by the 3
monster intemperance, anaathe best 2
loved one selected as his victim sfea!
