The New York Press-Forcc En-
pIOyed.

The Herald has had for years the largest
number of editors, reporters and correspondents
of any daily ia the city. and on the whole makes
the poorest use of them. That office has very
poor material generally, for the reason that
intellectual and cultivated men will not consent
to such total suppression OF individuality as
has always marked the concern. consequently
it is compelled to employ many persons to do
in a mediocre way what less number might
do i'm a superior manner. The entire s'au vi
the Herald reaches it is said, over two hundred
men, whose salaries average $50 week. Ihe
entire expenses Of the establishment are estl-
mated, understand, at SIS 900 week, on an
ayerage-sametimes running much higher, ana
sometimes materially lower.
The expenses of the Tribune are ranked next
Its editors, reporters and correspondents num-
Der about one hundred and fifty, and their rate
of compensation is much higher than on the
Herald. The TrtbHnes weekly expenses are
about $4,000 During the late Franco Ger
man war they were often as much as $40, 600,
andlthey were also very large while the rebel
| lion lasted but Sl0,000sa fair average, taking
month after month.
| The World has a large corps OF writers, and
has the reputation of getting better service out
of them for less money than any newspaper In
the city. Its journalistic attaches are almost
as numerous those OF the Tribune, though
its expenses are not, | have understood, more
than Sc, 900 or 81 900 week.
| The Times is conducted with small force,
most of which is resident. Salaries are said
to be liberal at home, but rather slender for
domestic and foreign correspondents, of whom
it has few compared with other quartos.
The employees and expenses of the other
morning papers are few and small, taking the
great dailies as a criterion. As to the evening
papers, they almost always consult economy
before enterprise, and their expenses, though
extremely judicious are rarely remarkable

The COngregationd!iSt earnestly urges Us an
impershable monument to John A. Andrew
the endowment of law professorship in How
ard University. Most heartily do we second
and commend the proposition of that journal.
1t says:
SIT was well to erect statue to John Albion
Andrew in the State House of Massachusetts,.
For his services in the war of the rebellion he
deserves to be ranked with the civil heroes of
the Revolution; with the men whose stirring
eloquence and political faith inspired our
fathers in that first great struggle. His proc
lamations, his counsels, his deeds, his tele-
grams, were electric in their influence. But
he was especially true TO the cause of the OPP
pressed. He first saw the soldier in the lber-
sted slave, and equipped him for the battle.
His quick intuitions thus opened to the colored
man the door of citizenship for he who fights
the battles of a free people must eventually
rise to all their immunities and honOrs.
"There are however, monuments more dura-
BILE than brass or marble. A mans moral in
fuence, his works that follow him, the good
that lives after him. constitute his noblest me-
mento. To perpetuate these influences and
continue in any way their activity is to erect
the noblest monument. In accordance with
this idea it is proposed by the trustees of
the Howard University, Washington, d. c.,
to name for Governor An drew one of the pro-
fessorships in the Law Department of that in.
stitution, the same to be endowed by those
who revere his memory.
"This university is a noble enterprise, worthy
in every way, we believe, of the support Of the
Christian public. 1t is the elimination of the
system Of education inaugurated by the Freed
mems Bureau--its object to prepare the freed
man for citizenship. This, in its preparatory,
collegiate, law, medical, and theological (just
organizing) departments, il is well fitted to do
in the largest sense. Give the name Of John
Albion Andrew 10 one of the profeSsOrshps
here, put his portrait upon its walls, and his
memory will help to do a work begun by him
in his life. 1t will inspire both teachers and
pupils. 1t will be fitting tribute to a noble
and heroic man. The plan has already been
favorably considered 10y gentlemen in Boston.
1t only needs to be more thoroughly presented
to command general attention for its apprO
priateness, whether 10 the man or to the uni
versity. Ought such work u lack for sym
patty or for funds?
without being UNCONVENTIONAL, Howard
University is decidedly Christian. 1t is founded
upon the principles of the gospel and intended
to illustrate and enforce them. And the es
TEEN in which the country, New England es
pecially, holds the distinguished soldier whose
name the institution bears, and who presides
over it as a labor Of love, should act As an add
tional motive to generous response. Let the
funds for the endowment Of the Andrew Pro
fessorship in the Law Department of Howard
University be promptly forthcoming"

Mr.. John c. Calhoun spent the latter years
of his life in vehement efforts to overthrow the
protective policy but hear him, in 1916, adyO-
eating in the House of Representatives mini
mum daty Of CD cents per square yard on all
cotton fabrics costing less than twenty-five
cents per square yard-One of the most strln-
gently, efficiently protective duties ever i'm
posed. Just consider his reasons for unfolding
that stern impost, which he set forth as follows:
Neither agriculture, manufactures, or COM
merce. taken separately, is the cause Of wealth !;
it flows from them combined and cannot exist
without each. The wealth of any single nation
or individual, it is true, may not be Immediate
ly derived from the three but such wealth
always presuppOses the existence of these
sources, though derived Immediately from one
or two of them only. Taken in its most en-
larged sense, without commerce, industry would
have no stimulus without manufactures, it
would be without the means Of production and
without agriculture, neither of the others can
exist. When separated entirely and perma-
nenty, they must perish. War. in this cOun-
try. produces to a great extent that separation
and hence the great embarrassment that follows
in its train. The failure of the wealth and re-
sources of the nation necessarily involves the
ruin of its finances and its currency. 1t is ad-
mitted by the most strenuous advocates, on the
other side that no country ought to be depend
ent on another for means of its defense that
at least our musket and bayonet, our cannon
and ball, ought to be of domestic manufacture.
But what is more necessary to the defense of a
country than its currency and finance? Cir
cumscribed as our country is, can these stand
the shock of war? Behold the effect of the late
war on them When our manufactures are
grown to a certain perfection, as they soon will
be under the fostering care of the Government,
we will no longer experience those evils The
farmer will find ready market for his surplus
produce, and, what is of almost equal cOnse-
qaence, a certain and cheap supply for all his
wants"

Mrs Laura Curtis Billiard, writing from
Rome to the Golden Age gives the following
interesting sketch Of the present condition of
the papacy:
The Pope has constituted himself voluntary
prisoner in the Vatican. lie has ordered the
omission of all the customary ceremonies of the
church. He allows no one TO visit the gale
ries and museums Of the Vatican without
permit; and in fact he is taking great pains to
make himself generally and thoroughly disa-
greeable For an infallble man he exhibits a
degree Of ill-temper at the loss of his temporal
power that is rather surprising He has not a
good word for any one. The journal which is
his organ, IL Unitd CdtOliicd, calls Napoleon
LII "a rascal "a poor compliment TO the
man who, more than any other monarch of this
century, has tried to sustain the temporal pow
er. But Popes, it seems, are not free from the
general weakness of humanity, which is to kick
a man when he is, or is supposed to be, down.
There is tradition in Rome that If a Pope
occupies the chair of st. Peter for twenty five
years, he will be the last of the long line Of the
Apostolic Princess--and if Plus TX lives till
next June, that tradition will have chance to
be tested. He has been n most unfortunate
monarch, and his ill-luck is not confined to
himself. Ii is a singular fact that every royal
house which has received his blessing has been
remarkably unfortunate lie blessed Mayimil-
liam and poor Carlotta just before the ill-starred
Mexican expedition. He blessed Francis JO-
seph, Emperor of Austria, just before his con
flict with Prussia, and his defeat at Sadowa.
lie blessed Isabella, Queen of Spain, and sent
her the golden rose, and she lost her throne
almost Immediately after. lie blessed Louis
Napoleon and Eugenie, and they are exiles and
wanderers on the face Of the earth. lie cursed
Victor Emanuel, and communicated him, and
he is King of Italy, beloved by his people
victorious over his nations enemies. His son,
Amadeus, is the newly elected King of Spain.
one of his daughters the Queen Of Portugal.

TIVE Way TANNANY SrEALs.-The adyan-

are strikingly set forth in letter to the New
York Times The correspondent relates that
William NJ. Tweed, yr., was appointed re-
ceiver last September, in proceedings relative
to the foreclosure Of a mortgage on an up town
house. The only duties he had to perform
were to receive and hold the rents OF this pro-
perry for five months, subject to the order OF

the property yielded exactly So "A TO lis owner .
Mr.. Tweed has just been appointed receiver OF
an insurance company, the assets of which
amount to quarter of million dollars-the
court probably having in mind the Scriptural
passage Thou hast been faithful Ito thyself)

MANY things" The creditors of the company
will doubtless find in the end that the confidence
of the court in Mr.. Tweed is not misplaced

BY ELIJAH W. SMITH.


We hear again his buglenote
From Freedom ramparts high;
We see again his meteor brand
Clean in the lowering sky
We hear his call to Freedom hosts
To buckle on once more
Their armor, till foul Slavery's fruits
Are banished from our shore
We hear, with Joy, their answering hail
From forest, hill, and glen;
We see, with pride, their banners wave
Ger earnest, faithful men
We see, abaShed, the foeman stand,
Who vainly hoped that he
Would ne'er again TO battle lead
The legions of the free
No syren singing ne er so sweet
Could lure him from his path;
And Slavery's minions shrink with fear
From his awakened wrath,
And In thin air dispel their dreams
That he would ground his arms,
And yield his sword and buckler up
To their Delilah's charms
And we, just rising from the earth,
To which Oppression heel
Had ground US in its vengeful wrath
We, who have hearts to feel
The value of the blood bought boon
OF Freedom, hail with joy
The pledge that our great Joshua
Will Slavery's brood destroy
Though threatening still the Southern cloud
And loud the rebel boast;
And though around our people fash
The spears of Pharaoh host,
Still in the God who did of old
The Red Sea- waters cleave,
Put We our trust, and in His power
To save US we believe.
Lead on /! well follow thee until
Redemption's work is done,
Till DER the land, from North to South,
Shines Freedoms glorious sun
Until our race In peace can dwell,
Free from all doubts and fears,
Upon the soil made fruitful by
Their sweat, their blood, their tears
