Mr.. Fisk, Jr., In a New Role.
From the ". Y. Times.

HTOU Hte Nv. l. IUHeS.
With the most profound regard for Mr..
James Fisk, Jr., that is to say, such regard as
his public performances warrant us in feeling
for him, We feel constrained to think he has
made a mistake in rushing into print. His
card, which we printed on Tuerday, is not cal
culated to raise him in public esteem, or to
virdicate his conduct from censure, in the
arrest and treatment OF Mr.. Bowles. And it
is quite certain to create the impression that
he knows little of English grammar, and still
less OF good manners or the decencies of
speech and of life. Mr.. Fisk, Jr., may not
think very much of this, or of any impress
sions the public may entertain in regard to
him; and ii his operations were to be hereafter
confined to Erie and other railroads, perhaps
he would be right. 1t does not make much
odds to man who bags his million as ooolly
and as easily as Mr.. Fisk Jr, has been in the
habit of doing, and who jugs an editor who
talks irreverently about him, without the
slightest let or hindrance, what anybody may
think of his English or his manners.
But Mr.. Fisk Jr, is about to enter upon
new field. He is about to become a great
patron and supporter of the arts-a deVotee
of the MUSES. -one of the great pillars and
ornaments of the sublime temple of genius
and art which his country hopes to erect for
the admiration Of mankind. Now, there is
certainly prejudice in the public mind, which
hts IiSh JLs, WOulO D5 "lbSI W lchpSOt bndu
to contemn, in favor of a great patron aud
minister of art being able to write grammati-
cally and to express himself as well as to de-
port himself generally like gentleman,
rather than boor. Mr.. Fisk's card indicates
no sort of respect for this prejudice, but rather
defes and affronts it. II will, we fear, create
the impression that Mr. Fisk should employ
private tutor, or in some other way cult
vate a little familiarity with the English gram
mar and dictionary, and the rudiments at
least of writing, before presenting himself to
the world as distinguished patron of the arts.
AS We have already said, we see nothing of
any great outrage or tyrannioal wrong in the
arrest of Mr.. BOwles for libel. The liberties
of the American people are not endangered
either by the arrest ITSELF or by the manner
in which il was made and nobody will laugh
more heartily than Mr.. Bowles himself at
such preteDsions. We have no doubt he will
forgive all that, since the publication of Mr..
Fisk's card, which is much more likely to

Mr.. Butler's explanatory letter, though il
evinces a spirit of recruitment and spleen
against Mr.. Bowles for which we see no ocoa-
sion or call, is q much more straightforward
and creditable performance than the card of
the gentleman for whom Mr.. Batter seems
ambitious of acting ss sponsor and champion.
II all its statements are correct, and we pre-
sumo they are, his letter relieves the affair Of
some of its most unpleasant features. Mr..
Fisk, Jr., would do well to hand over his lite
rary and artistic matters wholly to Mr.. Butler,
and go back himself TO his Erie corner: IT Is
there he shines most and appears to the best
dvantage-thoueh that, we fear will sound
like damning Mr. Fisk, Jr., with very faint
praise.

no more division of responsibilities between

shall rest nowhere. We bslieve that Grant
will appoint his Secretary of the Treasury,

system of removals in every case of failure in
administration, purity and efficiency could be
secured from the highest officer to the lowest
