The i'll. l.concealed dissatisfaction with
which the leading Radical presses have
been watching the course of President
Grant, has at last broken out in open and
bitter invective. Dana, in Saturdays issue
Of his sprightly paper, the New York Sun,
opens terrible editorial broadside upon
the hero of the Appomattox apple-tree
After drawing damaging contrast between
the present administration and those of
Jefferson, Jackson and John Quincy Adams,
he goes on to say:
General Grant spent nearly the entire first
sweek Of his term in trying to evade the plain
provisions Of salutary statutes, because they
''blocked the way for the admission to the most
''imFortant seat in his Cabinet Of an almoner
''who had BESTOWED q dazzling present. Baf-
s'fed in this by the irmness OF the Senate and
'the howns of the public, he nevertheless in
"stalled among his constitutional advisers
''other individuals who, though not obnoxious
"to this particular objection, were chiefly dis
''tinguished for having conferred upon him
''costly and valuable benefactions. The natu-
'ral result Of all this must inevitably be, that
corruption and veuality will walk unabashed
''and almost unrebuked through every depart
'ment of the government. Such evil exam
''pes tend to make lucre the badge Of honor
"able distinction, and the possession Of riches
"the sole passport to power, eminsnce, or even
'respecLability."
Dana concludes by the pertinent inquiry,
whether it is not high time that the masses
Of the people, who neither seek nor hold
Office, should labor for the return of the
good old times Of republican simplicity,
when statesmen felt stain as a wound;

GUS charges against the managing ed ltor OF one
of the New York morning dailies. They allege
that said editor has been guilty of furnishing
to a Philadelphia newspaper, which does not
tclong to the Associated Press, the cable news
belonging exclusively to the association. This
is a violation of the rules of the press OF the
whole country. 1t is further charged thai
Simon Cameron was led to pay the editor
s12.5O0 to secure the good influence OF this
editor and the paper to which he Is attached;
also, that Galusha A. Grow paid him $4,000 for
the same purpose also, that the State
Acknowledgement, Brewster, OF Pennsyl7a-
mia, paid him $1,000 for his influence;
also. that this editor attempted to obtain
five thousand dollars from Governor Curtin,
in order to sec are the good will OF his paper TO
aid him (Curtin) in getting foreign mission.
IT, is also stated that documents will be pro-
duced showing that some twenty-five thousand
dollars have been divided between this editor
and leading Albany lobbyist, in consideration
of the editor avoiding any editorial illusions
to certain jobs which have from time to time
been put through the State Legislature. These
allegations are made against MIR. John B.
Young, of the Tribune, who declares that they
are the result Of conspiracy formed by two
employees discharged from the Tribune, acting
with his personal enemy, Mr.. simonton, of the
New York Associated Press. He proposes to
show that they are utterly false.

New York and New Orleans.

One of the most notable of the recent
developments of the system of "through"
travel, is the completion of the arrange
ment by which a passenger is carried by
rail all the way from New York to the Cres-
cent City, with but a single change of cars.
son last Thursday night" we are told, "a
'through palace car left New York for Lou
ssisville direct, for the first time in the his
story of American railroad operations. y.
The trip Of this car inaugurated the run
ming of new line that will shorten the
time between New York and New Orleans
from 81 to rs hours, and give through trav-
ellers the advantage of only one change of
cars between the great marts Of the North
and the Southwest. The shortest available
distance between New York and Louisville
is 894 miles, and the new line traverses it
by way Of Philadelphia and Pittsburg to
Columbus via the Pan Handle route, and
thence by the "Cambridge cutoff" :" (near
the Ohio and Indiana State line) to Jeffer-
sonville, and thence across the river into
Louisville, where passengers are transferred
to another palace car through without
change to New Orleans. The time over the
Pan Handle route between New York and
Louisville is 81 hours, or "a 6 miles per
hour, including stoppages. The seaboard
route will have to spur up its iron horses
to compete with this time.
