NEWSPAPERS.
From the N. Y. Tribune.

From the N. Y. Tribune .
The World, in attempting to draw a news
paper moral from the recent stoppage of the
morning edition of that able London paper,
the Pal Mall Gazette, says:-
'.The newspaper is rapidly developing by dfferen-
tlation The journals of the future will be Of two
sorts-a journal for the few and journal for the
is reason to fear that the latter will be cheap and
nasty. The one may be paper written by gentle
men for gentlemen the other by blackguards for
We are less interested in deciding what the
''journal of the future" will be, than in try
ing to make the journal of the present what
it ought to be. But we don't believe that the
journals of the future will be of the ''two
sorts" indicated above, any more than the
journals of the past, or of to-day, have been
or are of these sorts only. We have as yet
seen no reason to doubt the possibility of the
existence of journal for the many at once
cheap and respectable, possessed of principle,
ability, and popularity. If we had not for
years felt assured of the praoticability of such
journal-which is different from either of
the ''two sorts" mentioned by the World-we
should not have remained in the newspaper
business.
When, after classifying the journals of the
future into two sorts, the World says that one
kind will be written ''by gentlemen for gen.
tlemen, and the other by blackguards for
DioShSuditoj ~ iooSo oiShe Vi eIO AoSo ehoo
the great body of people in every city New
York included), are neither conventional gen.
tlemen nor blackguards. The majority of
newspaper readers in New York are merchants
and traders, shopkeepers and their clerks,
manufacturers and their employees, profess
sional men, artisans, mechanics, and working
people generally-wh cannot very we'll be
said to belong to what Wendell Phillips de-
signates as the "vulgar class which in this
country call themselves gentlemen" They
are ''the many" whom the World discrimi-
mates from ''tbe few who are expected to
support the dear and gentlemanly journal.
But they are not ''blackguards, though they
are the many. 1t is to this body of mer-
chants, workingmen, and professional people
that we constantly look for support, and we
assure the Werld that it is better for news
paper to be sustained by such readers than to
cater for blackguards and snobs.
The World overlooks the real life and func-
ton of the press, as well as it's true basis of
power and popularity. The ''journal of the
future, as well the journal of the present,
should be the exponent and upholder of ideas
and principles that will elevate man and So
ciety-that will give honesty to life, integrity
to business, honor to legislation, and justice
to the administration of affairs. journalism
is only worthy of existence when it seeks to
| do this: newspapers would be contemplate
and infamous if there were only the "two
sorts" described by the World.

THE HOWARD INVESTIGATION.

From the N. y. Journal Of Commerce.
Some of the ablest radical newspapers in
the country are making powerful efforts to
clear General Howard in advance of the in
vestigating committees report. They heap
unmeasured abuse upon Mr.. Wood for having
moved the inquiry. They refer to the Gene
rails war record and his reputation for Chris
tianity and philanthropy, as if these things
made it morally impossible that he should
have speculated in patent bricks, lumber, and
building lots, and in other ways taken advan-
tage of his official position in the Freedmen's
Bureau to fill his pockets and those of his
nearest of kin. This is all irrelevant to the
case. General Howard is distinctly accused
by Mr.. Wood of making improper use
of the Freedmens Bureau funds, and
enriebing himself disreputably out of the
tion to be tried by the committee is one
of facts. 1t matters not what the Generals
war record may have been. Suppose him to
have been a soldier of the highest capacity
which is disputed-then what 1t does not
follow that he is a man of honesty and capa-
city enough to manage a responsible civic
trust Instances are common of generals,
even those of undisputed ability, who lacked
honor and integrity. We are equally indis-
posed to have our Judgment dazzled by the
citation of the Generals career as professor
of religion and a friend of the oppressed,
remembering how often it happens that the
cloak of piety and philanthropy is used to
shelter the most selfish and sordid of aims.
Whatever claims to spotless character
General Howard's friends can set up for him
should have their weight in influencing us
not to PREJUDICE him; but we cannot allow
them to override facts. But this il precisely
what his partisan and interested admirers in
sist that we should do. They would have
us dismiss that may be damaging in the
evidence, out of consideration for the Chris
tian and humanitarian and patriotic reputation
that he asachieved and worn. This we cannot

THE NEW NEW JERSEY JUDGE.

From the NJ Y. World.
We have every reason to believe that Gene
raj Grants ill luck in appointments, and es-
pecially Judicial ones, is pursuing HIM, and
that he has just made huge mistake in New
Jersey. In these respects he seems to have
'fate' When he tries-which he rarely
doos-to fly above the personal" atmosphere
which is so congenial, it seems as if there was
a string tied to his leg, which is sure, after
certain grotesque evolutions in the upper air,
to bring him down to earth again. He has
made this experiment in his selection of a sue
cessor to Judge Field. 1t was heralded that
in selecting MIR. Nixon, of lower West Jer.

and is in fact administrator de 5Onis non
of Mr.. Lincoln. That Lincoln promised
to appoint Nixon, but for good reasons
didn't and therefore Grant must and
does. This is the poetical theory, while
the fact is that in the choice the President
has again, unconscieusly perhaps, been
victim to local manipulation which does
him no credit. The bar, especially the Re-
publican bar, of New Jersey stands amazed
If not aghast, SO see such men as Frelinghuy-
sen and Zabriskie, and James Wilson and
Teneyck, passed by without thought, and

delphia, misleading the President into the
choice of one, no doubt an estimable gentle
man, with no accredited professional stand
ing. and whose chief merit is, as We have
said, that Mr.. Lincoln would not appoint
him. The only part 1Of New Jersey
that Grant knows anything about is
