New YORK, July 16.-The Herald prints two
pages of Catacazy's manifesto against Secretary
Fish, embracing the correspondence between
them and letters written to Catacazy by Horace
Greeley, James Gordon Bennett and Charles
Dana and letter written by him to Chief Jus
tice Chase. The Herald says editorially, that
on his own showing it is very difficult to say
whether he or Secretary Fish was the person
most TO blame. His manifesto is full of trans
parent special pleading, which most people are
likely to receive with the traditional grain of
salt. The case which he makes against Mr..
Fish is so based upon what invisible and I'M
mentionable persons told him that it is of the
most himSy kind.
