The Demand for the Herald Outside OF
New York News Agents Monopoly.

The Demand for the Herald Outside OF
New York News Agents Monopoly.
The following letter is one of many we have
received regarding the demand for the HERALD
outside of the city of New York;
PHILADELPHIA, July Is, 1871.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Owing 10 the superior enterprise or your New
York news agents, who now monopolize and control
the business OF this city there was not copy
of to-day's HERALD obtanaDle nfteen minutes alter
their arrival, at any news depot IN tins city,
ana fabulous prices were offered Tor It. flfty cents
was common hgure. and at one store five dollars
was offered for one
That any such price should be charged by
a newsdealer for papers upon which at the
regular prices they make fair profit is an
outrage that should not be encouraged. The
news agents should see That their supply is
equal TO the demand, and that speculation be
left to those who are not legitimate dealers.
1t certainly is gratifying to know that those
who outside Of the city desire to have full
and reliable information of events transporting
in New York, as well as in every part of the
world, look to the HERALD for it, and to know
that they will have the HERALD at any price.
We see by this that our labors, our enterprise
and our great outlay Of money are known,
understood and fully appreciated. Large as
the circulation of the HERALD has been or
late it has excelled itself, aud has grown to
proportions so large as TO astonish those who
have been satisfied with anything under
hundred thousand. This is significant fact.
IL shows fully that the free and Independent
course pursued by the HERALD ON all matters
appertaining to the public welfare is approved.
The masses of our people see in it journal
that is not influenced by party patronage or
prejudice. They know that it takes the
ground of the good of all and not of any
particular class or Sect Hence it is that all
must read it, To those in New York the
HERALD serves as the companion of the break
fast table, and out of the city-say within two
hundred miles-it is the great appetizer for
dinner The people will possess it. You find
it every wherein the palace and the howell,
among those of high and low degree. The
cost for it should place the HERALD within
reach of every one, and we hope in future
that news agents will so arrange that every
person DESTROYS of procuring a HERALD can do
so at no more than the established price.

CAPTAIN PETTY made frank acknowledge.
ment of his indscreton in publishing resolu-
tons of ccnsure against the militia before the
Commissioners yesterday, and the charge
against him was at once dismissed. It would
have been injudicions indeed to have thrown
away the valuable services of Captain Petty
merely for wordy indscretion, especially a.
he established new claim to manliness by
his straightforward acknowledgment of error.
Sergeant Quinn, who ventured to argue tho
right and wrong of the matter before the Com
mssioners, was fined ten days pay.

AN ABSURD Observation-Disclosures Washburne.
according to q cable despatch which We
print this morning, has assured the French
government that no person convicted Of
criminal acts in Paris against the National
Government during the reign of the Com
mune will be permitted to reside in the
United States. We are disposed to regard the
rumor as unfouuded. We cannot believe that
Minister Washburne would make any such
statement-at least not without qualifications.
Members of the Paris Commune are in London
and safe. Members of the Paris Commune, IL
they come here will be safe. Great Britain
does not refuse asylum to political offenders,
neither does the government of the United
States. If Minister Washburne made any such
statement as that which is attributed TO him
he must have referred to criminals of the
ordinary sort and of course we shall give up
all murderers and thieves and incendiaries
and forgers and the like. A Frenchman whose
only offence is that he was or is Communist
may come here, and We shall not send him
back.

fun in Congress last session by his humorous
description Of the mushroom city of Duluth, is,

THE THIRD TRIAL OF BUCKHoUT, the Sleepy
Hollow murderer, has terminated in his being
found guilty as charged in the indictment.
From the conclusive nature of the testimony
offered by the prosecution it is difficult to con-
ceive how a similar result was not attained
when the accused was first placed on trial.
The prisoners crime, in killing two persons
and attempting the life of third, is one of IN
usual atrocity, and ii now remains to be seen
whether or not he will be made the subject OK

MORE BLOODY WoIK IN CUBA.--The news
from Cuba this morning is Of the usual bloody
and conflicting character. We have some de-
tails of the landing Of Quesadas expedition
near Santiago de Cuba, and Of the engagements
in which the Spaniards, who attempted to pre-
vent the small force of Venezuelans from COM
ing ashore, were severely punished by General
Gomez. Then we have the usual reports of
insurgents captured and shot as soon as
caught; but by far the most important event,
if true, is the reported surrender of General
Agramontes secretary. These men are all
fearfully Enthusiastically; but the surrender of
the secretary to the Cuban General-in-C Chief
is an event that forebodes i'll for the republic
in any case.

WALL STREET ANIMATED. The Stock Ex-
change was quite excited yesterday, the ''bulls"
and ''bears, after their summer doze, getting
into one of their periodical wrangles and
fighting the quarrel out desperately. 1t is
thought Dan Drew is the man who stirred up the
animals by selling the ''boys" some of ''them
ere sheers." As there hasn't been live
''bear' on Wall street since last winter the
advent Of such polar animal, suggestive Of
frigid GOODNESS in this warm weather. was very
refreshing. The brokers were in doubt about
their ability TO take run to the Branch or to
Saratoga, but the commissions poured in
yesterday, and they are in great glee.

Is so Ingenious ana so clever that we all owe
Napoleon debt of gratitude for preserving it.
But the whole collection is rich and rare. 1t
was very silly in the Emperor to preserve all
this trash; but he evidently did 1t for the
amusement of depressed mankind after his
dynasty had failed. Through his care a score
of epistolary jumping jacks have been able to
spring from the imperial jackbox, and will
to-day be the surprise and delight of thou
sands of innocent children and frivolous men.

MIR. Gladstone and the Right Of Pmrcha Sc
in the British Army.


The House of Lords has refused to pass the
government bill which has for its object the
abolition of the right of purchase of commits
sions in the British army. 1t was not to be
expected that the old fogies In the House of
Lords would act otherwise. The British army
has always been convenient asylum for the
younger sons or younger brothers or nephews
or cousins of noble lords. The Premier, how
ever, has fixed the aristocrats, if report speaks
truth. The right of purchase in the army is
no right. 1t was originally an abuse.
1t has become, by liberation, sort of
privilege. 1t is a custom which has been
winked at rather than sanctioned by law. Mr..
Gladstone, it is said, has informed the Lords
that he will take advantage Of Crown warrant,
which Her Majesty, we take it, will net be
unwilling to grant, and thus, without their
consent, abolish custom which, though con-
venent to the arstocracy, is at once offensive
to the great body of the people and unconsti-
tutional. This announcement OF the Premier
will embitter the fight, bat Gladstone means to
and must win.

Wendell Phillips the Riot and 4
Rampage.

Wendell Phillips is out in the National
Standard with characteristic virulence on the
riot of the 18th inst. He goes back to the
riot of 1886 in Boston, and draws COM
parison between the conduct of Mayor Lyman
in Boston then and the conduct of Mayor Hall
10 the riot last week in New York The COM
parison is not favorable to the latter He
procaims that ''New York is vile city, it's
private life corrupt, it's Exchange den Of
thieves and its government foul conspiracy"
He is especially complimentary in his way to
the newspaper editors, as will be seen by the
following extract from his acrid manifesto -
is cruel and am not sure that the tyranny OF labor
will not be more cruel still. But the most cruel.

democratic gains and great rejocings East and
West and for corresponding losses and de-
moralizations to the republicans. But these
lis of this month Of July have changed the
whole face of things in regard to these coming
State elections
The democracy were prepared to take the
offensive in these State skirmshes; in-
deed they had taken the offensive !;
but now they are thrown back upon
the defensive. They had opened tine
campaign pretty actively against General
Grant and his administration ; but now they
will be compelled to waste their precious time
and strength in defending Tammany Hall, in
explaining how and why it was that the
famous Order No. 81 Was issued, and how it
happened that our patriotic Governor first
heard of all this melancholy business at the
eleventh hour, just in time to save himself in
saving the city from the disastrous surrender
proposed in Order No. 81. PROFESSIONALLY
the late Orange procession and its politi-
cal surroundings and its bloody conse-
quences and its political bearings will tend
and are tending to unite and harmonize the
republicans and to embarrass and weaken the
democrats. II is evident that in this city and
State the late wranglng and fighting repub-
lican cliques and factions are beginning to
harmonic against Tammany, and that they
will not only make a bold push to carry our
State Legislature in November, but will pro-
badly succeed in their efforts
Mr.. John Quincy Adams has defined the
Ku Klux bill of Congress as the act of
despotic power and General Grants admins
tration as only little better than military
despotism. But the question involved in this
New York Orange procession overshado Wa
and supersedes the Ku Klux question, and
the general political agitation of Tammany's
affiliations with the Irish Catholic vote will
surely make its impression upon the Protes-
tant elements of the city, the State and the
Union. There would have been no hope for
the democracy had not Governor Hoffman
interposed before it was too late in behalf of
the great fundamental rights of the American
people. AS it is, the mischief done to the
democratic party will hardly be repaired in
these coming fall elections, while the
vantage ground gained by the republicans
so far strengthens General Grant in his
administration and as candidate for another
term as to remove, for the present, all doubts
upon the subject.

July, 1871, has, so far, with us been a
month of heavy storms and tornadoes, from

cool for the season, and bad for our summer

crop OF grass. Let us be thankful.

THE CEssIoN OF GUINEA AND rHR DUTCH
PARLIAMENT. The Upper Chamber of the
Dutch Parliament has by vote of sixteen
to fifteen postponed indefinitely the further
consideration of the treaty for the ces-
sion of Guinea, on the west coast Of
Africa, to Great Britain. A majority Of ono,
even in an Upper Chamber, cannot be
said to settle any question. The dying
natonaliies Of Europe have not yet subordin-
ated pride TO common sense. Spain will not
part with Cuba, Great Britain clings to the
New Dominion, and Holland. by a majority
vote of one, refuses to cede Guinea TO Great
Britain. But Cuba must be let loose from
Spain, the New Dominion must find on. for
herself q separate career, or become an
integral part of the United States, and Guinea
must ally herself in the future with Australia,
the growing giant of the Southern seas.
Guinea will be ccde to Great Britain in spite

for Mrs. Fair, the murderess, has been insti-

has made statement to the police that she
was knocked down while returning from a

has reason to believe it was done by Mrs.
Fairs enemies. The police doubt the story,
as she was uninjured. 1t seems to be foolish

knowing what effect such simple stories Of
wrong like this may have upon the rough

Governors Message.

The message of Gov. John G. Brown
was the principle matter Of interest in
our Legislature last Monday. We
hope to he able to give it in full on our
outside next week, or in an extra. The
Nashville Banner says it is Il carefully
prepared document, judicious and able,
and much attention given hyitto Sta!e
linancics-that the Governor is in ia
vor Of maintaining the credit of the
State ut all hazards, and that to the
best OF. his ability, he will enforce the
laws, and use the whole power commit
ted to him to suppress crime and pro-
tcct the citizen.
