WHAT pUBLfo MEN OWE no NEWS.
PAPERRs

from the Sc. Louis DemucFstl ----
Colonel F0rney complains, in q Well-Writ-
ten article Ia the Philadelphia Press, that pub
lie men are, as a class. ungrateful to the news
papers and the journalists to whom they, in
many instances, owe their position: Nobody
Is more competent to speak on this subject
than Colonel Forney himself. He has made
more statesmen out Of small material than
any man in America. He has taken more
active part in the personel Of American pol
itics in thelast twenty years than almost any
other man. Much OF his work has been that
Of politician rather than that of journal
lst, but In either capacity he has always been
able to serve his friends well, and he has al
ways served them faithfully His reward
has been very small. II he had let politics
alone and devoted himself exclusively to
journalism, he might have made a greater
name than Greeley'S and greater fortune
than Benefits. But he was always very fond
OF helping some friend to an Office and always
had q taste for political intrigue with pur-
pose OF this kind. His experience has, no
doubt, been that of hundred others who have
operated in the same way on a smaller scale.
Make governor out of an alderman to-day,
and tomorrow he'll tell you that he owes his
elevation to his own superior merits. FOrney
made president Of the United States out of
James Buchanan-but before the old public
functlonary had taken his seat he repudiated
his pateDtee and manufacturer in the most
ungrateful manner. congressman are made
py country newspapers-yet when they go to
washington 1t wouldt be safe to tell them
so.
Garfield, as an NJ. c., was invented by a
seven by nine Sheet the editor OF which had
probably never seen a five dollar bill in his
life, and Garfield certainly would be indlg-
nant now IL asked to give five dollars of his
back pay to that man. Trumbull was first
heard Of, we believe, through little paper at
Alton and he was last heard of drawing his
$4,000 grab. Ben. Butler says he was not
made by the newspapers; but then it must
ever remain one of the mysteries of nature
where Ben Butter came from, and what OBJ
ject was in view In producing him. If the
grievance of which Col. FOrney complains Is
sore one, it is the fault Of those who are ag-
grfeved.
There is too much puffery of small men in
the newspapers now-a-days-too much dispo-
sition to exalt gentle dullness and amiable
imbecllity into intellectual greatness and
real ability. Every chuckle-head in Con-
gress gets more praise from the press Of his
party now than could truthfully have been
bestowed upon Daniel Webster in his palmi-
est days.

THE BACK PAY STEAL.

Washington dispatch states that the SER
gsant-Gt-arms of the House declines to furnish
list OF the names of members who have drawn
their back pay. 1t is uscertained however, that
the list or those who still have money to their
credit on the books Is very small. Only one
Pennsylvania member has returned his amount
into the treasury. viz, Washington Townsend.
Every member Of the next House, with one ex,
ception, Foster, of Michigan, has drawn his pay
up to the third of this month, at the new rate,
which is regarded at Washington as indication
that the law giving the increase of salary will not
be repealed next Misunderstanding Eagle.

UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO SAVE TWO
LIVES.

Yesterday afternoon, about one O'Clock, three
young man, named respectively James d. Barry,
aged thirty-one, OF 6e6 Greenwich street; John
Bradley, aged twenty-six, of Thirteenth street and
Tenth avenue. and Horace Stack, aged eighteen,
went out IN a row boat to spend q few hours on
the North River In the healthiul exercise OF rowing
and developing their muscular power. 1t appears
that they had been imbibng pretty freely OF lager
and were in the best OF spirits. While about in
the middle OF the river opposite Delamater's iron
works, Bradley and Stack commenced knocking
of each others hats into the water, and in an en-
deavor to reach for one OF the hats the boat
was upset and all three precipitated into the
water. Barry, being an expert swimmer, thought
1t an excellent joke, but after regainng the boat
he saw nothing Of his two companions Feeling
something under the boat with his feet ne dove ui-
der and brought Bradley up, who was almost
exhausted and, telling him to mold on to the boat,
he commenced to LOOK for Stack, and not seeing
him dove under the boat again TO see II ne might
not be under II; but he was not and when ne
emerged from under the water Bradley had disap-
peared also. Finding all efforts TO find them irui'-
less he managed TO climb on the bottom or the
boat until rescued by young man from Dea-
mater's iron works, though In an exhausted con-
ditiOn, minus his coat, vest and Shoes when he
had divested himself OF In order that they would
not retard his movements in endeavOring TO save
his two companions. Bradley leaves widowed

THE WESTCHESTER COUNTY PAIR

The westchester County Annual Fair commenced
yesterday, near White Plains, under not very en-
couragng auspices Universal dulness was the
most observable feature OF the opening, even
the itinerant Snowman, after Tightening his
well-worn canvas around some nonsensical
"curiosity," was noticed making several abOr-
tive attempts to look cheerful, as though he
had already concluded that his gains for the week
will be small indeed. The entries Of live stock and
articles for exhibition were not numerous during
the fore part OF the day, but in the after
noon, however, lair quantity OF domestic produc.
tions, horticultural specimens and implements OF
hv manv that the managers are not acting
judiciousy in charging exhibitors such inexcus-
ably high rates. as some OF these latter were seen
returning home with the products OF their industry
alter learning the amount they would have to pay
for the privilege OF exhibiting them: II the trOt-
ting course, with its cOncomitants, is allowed, as
in the past few years, to exclude progress from all
the other departments, then the discontlnuance OF
the exhibition for agricultural and other industrial
purposes Is but question OF time.

THE NEW CITY BOND.

Comptroller Green has communicated to the
Mayor a statement OF the different classes--more
than seventy-nvc in number-of city and county
stocks and bonds now outstanding, issued during
the last twenty years, and the various suggested
schemes Tor their consolidation.
Notwithstanding several obstacles which he
enumerates, the Comptroller deems 10 possible to
FIX upon standard bond, payable In about forty
years, at five per cent semi.annual interest, both
principal and interest being payable In gold. fnc
practical value OF consolidation, he states would
be reduction o! the large interest account ana IN
placing OF municipal securities at more iavoraDie
rates. These classes OF securities were multiplied
by excessive legislation, and policy hereaIter o,
