Journalistic rrium phs.

The mission of the press at the present day
is of such an extended and varied character
that nothing is left untouched by it. The
most remote regions of the earth are visited
by its representatives and subjects which
were once jealously guarded as the exclusive
property of few favored individuals are now
discussed at length in its columns. The
HERALD has always appreciated the vast i'm
portance of the mission of journal in this
progressive age, and has omitted no oppor-
tunity to make its columns faithful mirror
of the worlds history from day to day. A
in the publication of the address of Don
Carlos of Spain to the Christian Powers,
which address he intrusted to a HERALD oor-
respondent as the best medium for making it
known. The entire London press, to whom
copies Of this important document we're sent
by our representative at the British capital,
heartily Acknowledged the courtesy and bore
testimony to this Triumph Of American Jour-
nalism- It is, indeed, a most remarkable
instance Of the power Of the press
when king-for Don Carlos considers
himself as such by divine right-in issuing o
most important proclamation, nothing short
of the vindication of himself before the whole
world, selects as his mouthpiece the corre-
spondent of an American journal. The frank
ness and polite acknowledgment of the Lon
don press in this matter might be proftably
initiated nearer home. While attending to
the Carlist war and its many vicissitudes the
HERALD has been equally vigilant in noting
the outbreak of hostilities on our own frontier,
giving on Wednesday last an exclusive account

The Scene at Plymouth Church.

Plymouth church last evening was again in
its glory; for had not the committee acquitted
Mr.. Beecher of all the charges against him,
and only expressed its inclination to severely
censure him for not sooner communicating to
his pious brethren the prosecutions he
had so long endured? The enthusiasm,
congratulations, thanksgivings and embrac-
ings which followed the reading of the report
of the Investigating Committee were wonder
full, and if they are only repeated by the pub
lie outside of the church all will be well.
But this peace, which was invoked upon the
church by the committee, did not long con-
tinue. The appearance of Mr.. Frank Moulton
at the meeting was an unfortunate event, which
led to unpleasant and unexpected scenes. We
must be pardoned by the church if we are re-
minded by it of Emanuel chapel, which is so
graphically described by Dickens in the
"Plckwick Papers"
Professor Raymond will please excuse us if
we compare him to Mr.. Stiggins, the shepherd,
and it is impossible not to look upon Mr..
Moulton as the Tony Weller of Brooklyn
No one who has read the chapter
in which old Mr.. Weller appears at
the temperance tea drinking can fail
to see the resemblance to the Plymouth meet
ing. "Where is the sinner2 where is the
mis'rable sinner9" said Mr.. Stiggins; "upon
which," says Mr. Weller, "all the women be-
gan to look at me and groan, as if they was
dyin'." "Where is the sinner where is the
mis- 'rable sinnerI" again inquired the red
nosed shepherd, ''and all the women groans
again ten times louder than afore.' II got
rather wild at this" observed old Mr..
Weller, $50 I says. MY friend, did you
apply that ere observation to me2' Stead
Of begin my pardon, as any gen'l' M would
ha' done, he got more abusive than ever,
called me /. a vessel, Sammy--s vessel of
wrath-and all sorts Of names. So, my blood
being regularly up, first gave him two or
three for himself, and then two or three
to hand over to the man with the
red nose and walked off, wish ycu could
ha heard how the women screamed, Sammy
ven they picked up the shepherd from under
the table," The parallel does not 90
quite so far as this, though Mr. Moul-
ton called Professor Raymond a liar
and the Professor called him q dog.
But the general resemblance is remarkable,
and we even have an old lady in the gallery,
who cried out in shrill voice, "Iagov' The
"Doxology" was sung and then the trouble
began. The boys went for Moulton to the tune
Of "Old Hundred in waltz time, and there was
q lively row between the Christians and the
police, while the organ played the hymn of
praise. Then Mr.. Weller went home in car
riage, with groans and excavations from the
mob.

The Great Swimming Match.

The Great Swimming Match.
After three postponements had wearied the
patience of the public the international SWIM
ming match took place near Long Branch
yesterday. How great an interest was felt in
the contest is shown by the fact that notwith-
standing the edge of curiosity had been dulled
by previous disappointments over five thou
sand persons were present fleet of small
boats attended the bold swimmers over the
course, and the two Leanders when they
emerged from the water were welcomed as
heroes by the crowd It was evidently a well
contested race, johnson, the English cham
pion, swimming the three miles in one hour,
ten minutes and thirty seconds, making ono
minute and fifty-two seconds better time than
Trautz. The Englishman reserved his power
till the last permitting his opponent to lead
six lengths on the last mile till he was within
one hundred yards of the stake. Then he in
creased the power and rapidity of his stroke
and came in the winner by fifty feet.
But while tho skill and strength dis.
played justified the enthusiasm Of the spec
tators it must be conceded thai the race did
not take place according 10 the original oondi-
tons. Pleasure Bay is an inlet whore the
water is comparatively still. The transfer Of
the contest from the ocean, therefore, entirely
changed its character, and made the perform
ance much easier. The result is, tor this reason,
unsatisfactory. Old Ocean was the appointed
place, and its pillows alone could present the
difficulties which these great swimmers were
expected to overcome. No doubt at Pleasure
Bay better view could be had of the men
than from the bluff at Long Branch but the
convenience Of the public was not the main
purpose of the race. Johnson and TrautS
were announced to swim from q stakeboat
three miles out OF sea to the Shore and their
failure to do this unquestionably diminishea
the importance of the event

ministration OF the government. To
what more faithful hands could his
policy be bequeathed than those of
Governor Dix? Whose well-tried frmness
and honesty could be more securely trusted
for efficient administration in the interests of
the people2 The recent statements of the
President, published in the HERALD yesterday,
in which he declared his hostility to such
ticket as Cornell for Governor and Fenton for
Lieutenant Governor, saying that if he were
citizen of New York he would vote against it,
cannot be understood otherwise than as favor
ing the denomination of Dix for Governor. If
after his election he should also conclude to
favor his nomination by the republicans for
the Presidency he could easily bring that re-
wishes to the hosts of active politicians whom
he has placed in positions of trust in the pub
lie service would have the force of q COM
mand and secure general obedience. This
subject will be well worth the Presidents
meditation when Governor Dix shall have
given new proof of his great popularity in
another successful and triumphant State
canvass.
The third topic of interest, which is more
slightly touched in these interviews, is the
question of the Mayoralty, in which we find
only one decided opinion expressed-that of
MIR. Algernon S. Sullvan-that the democratic
candidate will certainly be William H. Wick
ham. This confident opinion by well posted
politician, who Is inside of Tammany, will at
least secure very careful reading of the in
terview with Mr.. Wickham. That gentleman
regards it 'as foregone conclusion" that
Mr.. Tilden will be nominated for the Govern
orship, notwithstanding that no actual nomi-
nation has been made;" and adds, in tone
entirely free from doubt, she will be elected"
Are We not therefore. justified in lnferring
that Tilden and Wickham are on the same
Tammany slate?

The Black Hins-A Timely Caution.
The discovery of gold washings in some of
the streams Of that remarkable group of the
Black Hills recently explored by General
Custer and his command will doubtless attract
the attention of miners in the neighboring
States and Territories, and the fascinating
descriptions OF those new gold washings from
the prospectors accompanying General Custer
may induce bands of adventurous gold seek
ers to undertake journey there. General
Sheridan, however, has warned all such bold
pioneers against adventuring to those Black
Hills, and for the simple reason that they are
in the reservation Of the Sioux Indians, and
white gold hunters therein will be unlawful
trespassers; that before they can rightfully
enter this forbidden region they must get the
required authority from the government
Meantime such trespassers will be apt to
have 'their hair lifted by the Indians, for
those warIike Sioux, the most powerful of all
our Indian tribes, have been aggravated by
Custers trespass to the mood Tor killing and
scalping, and they only permitted the inva-
sion of Custer as an exploration because his
armed force was too strong to be resisted
But even with the consent of the govern
ment and Of the Indians to miners to 90 and
search for gold in those Black Hills there are
reasons which should deter them from the
hazardous and doubtful adventure. First,
those Black Hills, surrounded by desolate
country, lie on the western side Of the Terri
e MI. l..~ L.
store of provisions or base of supplies and
they lie as far north as Nova Scotia, and the
general level of their streams is some seven
thousand feet above the sea, so that they are
probably deep in snow from October to June.
Next as this isolated group of mountains are
only some sixty or seventy miles from one
side to the other in any direction, and as the
gold bearing rocks cover, as it appears, only
q small portion Of this area, the field is too
limited to promise even hundred miners any
washings that will pay their expenses judg-
ing from the average yield of the gold wash
ings of California. But against those fighting
Sioux no company of miners less than a thou
sand strong, and well armed, will be safe
We do not think that gold in any quanti-
ties, from the streams or the rocks in those
Black Hills, can be found to pay expenses Of
obtaining it. because the upheaval of the
group has not been sufficient to bring up the
precious metal in any great quantities from
the bowels Of the earth. We apprehend, how
ever, that an expedition Of adventurous miners
will undertake the difficult journey to those
Black Hills, and if they do the only warnings
that will be of any value to them will be, first,
to provide against movement upon their
works of hundreds, or it may be of thousands,
of Indian warriors, and, next, to provide for
the return trip against the danger of starva-
ton.
