Money as nm Elcctioneerins Element.

Money as Elcctionecrins Element.
We have not heard much of money so far
as an electioneering element in this campaign.
The time, however, for passing round the hat
and for electioneering subscription funds and
forced contributions from officehoders and all
that has not yet come. Brick Pomcroy has
found a mares nest in one small operation
which may be worth shot on the wing. He
has discovered that the HERALD received
dollars for advocating the nomination Of Chief
Justice Chase by the Tammany Hall Conven-
ton; but it appears that this fat was thrown
into the fire by the counter movement of Jeffer-
son Brick. He does not tell how much he got
for upsetting the Chase movement; but as he
has all the airs and Hourishes Of flush or
fash tinancier the presumption follows that
he got something. 1t is reported that joint
stock combination of banks and bondholders
have raised fund of half million for the
protection of their interests in this election
against the repudiators, and as Brick, in his
reckless scurrilities against General Grant, il
doing good service in behalf of his election, il
IL probable that Brick has had sop of this
bank fund. If we may believe him he has
somewhat suddenly become rich, and 1t is ru-
mored that he has had sop from this bank
fund of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
If this Is true the World IL surely entitled to
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars from
the same fund; for in his reckless and scan
dalous abuse Of General Grant the little Manti-
lini eclipses Brick and labors to do 80 as If it
were matter of life or death to the owners Of
the World establishment. So far as the
HERALD Is concerned we seize the occasion to
notify oil political joint stock companies and
spectators In the purchase of newspapers for
Tom, Dick or Harry that in their line of bust
ness nothing below the figure of two hundred
thousand dollars will receive the slightest at
tentlon at this establishment. Our advertising
columns are open to the politicians, as they are
to all other parties at our usual rates, but our
editorial columns are not for sale. Meantime,
In the industrious Brick we congratulate the
bondholders and Mantilinis of the Manhattan
Club on the effective democratic agent they
have secured to aid in the work of electing
| General Grant.

Preparations for Business-vast Increase in
the Circulation of the Herald.

Despite the prevalence of the political
excitement which precedes Presidential
election. the commercial interests in New
York and the other great centres give
evidence of the steady approach of very
heavy business season and indicate vast
expansion of trade. The advertising columns
of the HERALD reflect both facts daily. Our
advertising business this fall commenced to
extend at an earlier date than in any pre-
ceding year, and is accommodating 50 rapidly
as to give solid assurance that 1t will be
larger, as well as of more diversified
character as to the wants of the Millions than
in any foregoing fall. The circulation of the
HERALD increases in an equal ratio. Letters
enclosing business advertisements and sub
scriptions for the paper pour into the HERALD
establishment in increasing volume. Ignoring
The shiftings and turnings, the violence and
vulgarities of the party press, merchants
aud traders from different sections write us
by every mail in the following terms -

and want to learn something to the probabilities
Of It's result the substantial interests OF the coun

merely the sayings and doings of party leaders and
represent the case as they direct, want paper

is anything but promising to the radicals, and
the Southern radical Representatives and
Senators lately admitted, it appears, insist
upon some additional measures of legislation
in the cause of self preservation in advance
of the Presidential election. We may, there
fore, count upon the reassembling of Congress
on the 2lst Of September. All the Southern
States seem to be drifting away with the up
rising of the democratic niggers, and something
must be done to stop them.
