The New York Hsrald's Management.

New York Correspond dence Chic igo Times.l
The Herald seems to be in trouble. Young
bennett is in Europe, and since his absence
the paper has been pursuing wild and pur-
poseless course. One day last week Mr.. Con-
merry, the managing editor, left suddenly for
Europe, Mr.. Flynn, the chief of the city re-
porters, becoming managing editor during his
absence. Flynn is q young Irishman with
talents peculiar to the Herald, and it is sim
gular comment on Mr.. Benefits ideas of jour
nalism, placing him in charge Of a great news
paper like the Herald, to direct and command
such eminent writers and journalists as Ivory
Chamberlain, John Russell Young, DR.. Hos
mer, Jno. D. Stockton, Charles Nordhof, Geo.
o. Seilhamer, James Goldsmith, Col. Clarke
and DR.. Wallis. But Bennett has always been
erratic in running his newspaper, his idea sp-
peaTing to be to keep insignificant and weak
men in commanding positions and the strong
men in the background. Chamberlain, Young,
Nordhoff, Stockton, Goldsmith and Seilhamer
bave all been managing editors In their day.
Chamberlain for years controlled the World,
Young the Tribune, Nordhof the Evening
Post, Seilhamer the Standard, Goldsmith
Frank Il sLie's Weekly, and Stockton Phila-
delphis paper. But Bennett prefers Flynn to
them all. The sudden departure of Connery
is a surprise to the profession, and our curl
osity as to its meaning is very great. The
feeling is that Bennett is dissatisfied with Con-
uery's management: during his absence,
especially his fearful blunder in the Central
Park wild beast" sensation, and intends put
ting him in command of some foreign expedi-
tion for the paper, while Flynn is to try his
hand at management. Il makes little matter
who runs the Herald, as 1t really runs itself;
and as to the eminent writer's spoken Of above,
they seem perfectly contented as long as they
are paid good salaries and can shirk work
under incompetent managers. l understand
Bennett returns home to take command him
self some time in August.

son discovers something that he can say, or
do, that will cause those who strayed of into
the Greeley movement to come back again, he
is certainly free to do or say what he can to
that end. But the criticisms of which he COM
plains, and which are not confined to any one
Republican paper, rest on other reasons than
this. While he has been placating malcon-
tents, he has continually held TO the idea that
their detection grew out of the misdeeds OF the
Republican party. They are pure and un-
spotted lambs, but the Republican party has
been a very black sheep, was, in effect, the
Vice Presidents accusation. We do not call
this up to elaborate 1t, but 1t must be very
evident that If the malcontents can comfort
ably associate With the Democratic party, and
If the Republican party must meet their views
in order to possess their allegiance, there is
nothing left It but to 90 over to the Democratic
party too. This is the inevitable logic of Mr..
Wilson reasoning.
Complaint has also been made that Mr.. Will
son has not been practical in his course. He
has been full of complaints against party man
agement, but we do not remember single spe-
cific change that he has suggested. He has
urged fraternity with the malcontents, but
this the party has always been ready to &C
cord. Let these gentlemen come to 1t, even, II
they choose, with the mention of what they
want reformed. If ever a party engaged ac-
lively in the work of reform, the Republican
party has been at it for several years. Civil
service reform was demanded, and President
Grant gave it fair trial, abandoning It only
when seen to be utterly impracticable. Credit
Mobilier received q most searching investiga-
tion, breaking up a vast number of embryo
schemes.
The Republican party, after compelling its
Congressman to repeal the salary grab law,
finished the business by leaving at home all
who participated in it-with possibly one or
two unimportant exceptions, while the Demo
cratic party returned its most prominent salary
grabbers to Congress, and will probably elect
one of them Speaker. Yet in the face of all
this, Mr.. Wilson is petulant because the Re-
publican party does not run after those who
find congenial society in the Democratic party.

THE young man who formerly wore the
uniform of the tiger" of a Nevada Sen
ator wrote several squibs not long ago
criticising Mr.. Jennings, the editor Of the
New York Times, and characterizing him
in a decidedly uncomplimentary manner.
In fact the eX,tigeT showed so much dis
gust at, and such due appreciation or the
character of the unnaturalized editor that
We admitted his squibs to our columns.
We knew that it was an improper thing
for him to write them, because he was
then, as he is now, in Jennings employ as
Washington correspondent; but under
the circumstances we published them SIM
ply to crafty the little cubs ambition to
show his ungrateful nature. In palmer
words, this abortion of Journalist has
been guilty OF maligniug the character and
traducing the reputation Of his employer.
We may be induced to refer to this matter
again.

Eordhoff's Southern Sensations.

lFIO the AlaOdlna otabS 0OuA A@ -
Mr.. Charles Nordhoff, New York journal
ist of some reputation, and acting as corre-
spondent of the great American sensation, the
New York Herald, has recently made what he
calls tour of the South. He was no doubt
instructed when he left the Herald editorial
room to crowd all the sensation possible in his
letters. He has done so. He not only deals
largely in sensation, but in falsehood and in
justice to the white people and the colored
people alike, of Alabama. Mr.. NOrdhof visited
Montgomery and Selma. He did not go out
among the people of the State-the farmers
and laboring people; his ideas were formed
from what he observed in these two cities, aud
are not at all compatible with the true condi-
tion of affairs among our people. Our cities,
10 matter how small they may be, are cosmo-
politan to come extent, and the characteristics
Of the citizens are cOnsi antly changed by con-
tact with the world. Here in Montgomery we
find the abode of the leading politicians of the
State-me1 WHO themselves know as little of
the actual condition OF our people as Mr.. Nord-
hoff.
There is no sentiment in common between
the ofIiCe-seeking politicians and the true peo-
pie of the State. Mr.. Nordhoff confined his
investigations and associations to those incom.
petent in every respect to give him the true
state of affairs here. Men who never go out
among the people, who never see them, and
who have no common interest with them, are
unfit to give a true statement of the condition
of the people of Alabama in respect to politics
and to business. Had Mr.. Nordhoff been anx-
ious to obtain correct information of the con-
dition of Alabama he would have been little
more circumspect in his associations while
here. His letters contain nothing new. They
are simply rehash of absurdities which have
been exploded so many times that their origi-
nal authors had become ashamed of them, and
disowned them. Notably, the old cry of"forty
acres and a mule"-a canard which found its
birth in the policy which prompted certain
politicians of this State to overcome their op-
ponents by abuse, Misrepresentation, denuncia-
tion and ridicule. There was never anything
tangible in it.
Long ago it ceased to find men simple
enough to repeat it, and even had it been
decent subject for political use, has not the
press North years ago dissectcd it, paraded it
ard discussed it to nauseatiOn2 Doesn't 1t
look like a very small thing in the New York
Herald to send a man SO far from home to
pick up such stale news? Is it becoming in Q
man of Charles Nordhoif's requirements aI1
literary attanments to deal in so small mat
ter as this old political egg which spoiled so
long ago that decent Southern politicians re.
fused to handle it for fear of becoming be-
foulsd with UnUnslYe odOr! IL the purpose
of the Herald management had been TO circu-
late the truth concerning the people of the
South, does it stand to reason that it would
open its columns to all the old ISLANDERS and
stories which third-rate politicians AMI hungry
ofiice-seekcrs banded about the State until no
decent man would give ear to them?

OUR NATIONAL FLOATING POPULATION.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Geo
logical Expedition now camped beneath
the shades of Harney's Peak, sends back
to US rather mild reports concerning the
existence of rich mineral deposits in that
famed region, still these reports bsar suth-
cient evidence of gold ore in paying guam
titles to invite general panic among the
floating population of the country that will
soon lead to the invasion of the Black Hills
BY an army of adventures which neither =
the military nor obstinate Sioux can possibly
rerel. Even in the line of march taken by
the Janney expedition scattering squads of
miners were found who had already staked
out their claims and were industriously
panning out the precious metal in quauti-
ties which not only seemed to satisfy them,
but also made them exceedingly jealous of
the new -comers.
The water resources, which are posi-
tive necessity in all gold-mining operations,
seem TO be abundant in all the districts thus
far explored This, added to the fact that
the timber and grazing facilities are the
best existing in the Northwest, will natu-
rally augment the mineral attractions of
the charmed bourne, and bear telling in
f1uepce upon the restless body of humanity
which seems to have no further aspirations
in life than to practically investigate all
wild rumors respecting wonderful discov-
cries by which mankind is to become sud
denly rich with little exertion. This class
of people exist amid the respective popula-
tons of the globe in great numbers, and
they seize upon these new e. Dorado ru-
mors with a remarkable credulity and seri-
ousness that nothing but personal inspec-
ton can satisfy. In the last two centuries
they have speculated in South Sea bubbles,
in the diamond mines of Africa and in the
big bonanzas of Nevada. They have taken
in the wild stories from California with the
readiness that trout gulps in fly, and
have chased phantom bonanzas until finan-
cially exhausted, and yet they are to-day
the same hopeful, restiVe, curious, specula-
tive crowd they were centuries ago, and
under the strong influence of the present
panic nothing will satiate their morbid de-
sire to become suddenly rich save an ac-
tual entry into the Black Hills region, COM
bined with an actual attempt to pan out a
fortune from the gravel bars which have
lain for ages at the base of Harney's Peak.

WARRINGTON AND THE CENTENNIAL

The apathy prevailing in Washington
in regard to matters pertaining to the Cen
tennial Celebration of 1876 is a matter of
surprise and regret. Our citizens seem to
be laboring under the delusion that they
have nothing whatsoever to do with it.
If this is not so they are strangely post
poning preparations which convenience,
necessity and patriotism demand. 1t is
positive fact that up to this time not one
single step has been taken by the District
authorities or by a resident of the city with
reference to this celebration, and this is
the Nations Capital. What is the reason
Is it because we are so poor in purse, or in
pride, or in patriotism, or in invention,
that we take no interest in an affair which
enlists the sympathy and support Of every
other section Of the Union and of the civil
lied Governments of the world2 Is it pos
sible that Washington cannot supply any
thing worthy Of place in any of the de-
partments of the great exhibition? We
certainly manufacture steam engines,
boilers and steam hammers; great variety
of hydraulic machinery; electric, air, cal
oric and gas engines; all sorts of machin-
lists tools and metal-working machinery;
woodworking machinery; we are strong
in printing, stereotyping, lithographing,
engraving and bookbinding machinery,
and in hosting machinery, and
milestone dressing and stone saving ma
chinery; fire engines and apparatus, and
especially in fre-escapes; we could make a

ernments, and to show the progress OF our
Governmental system, we are not ADVISED
but something from each of its Departments
will undoubtedly be sent but in this dis
rlay tie District of Columbia cannot share
directly in the honor.
And now it is quite a safe estimate to say
that from December next to December
1870, Washington will be visited by one
million of strangers who will leave in this
city, at the lowest calculation, $50, 600, ,OO9
simply for living, carrisge-hire and pleas
ure. This by judicious people is regarded
as a very low estimate. Hotel and board
ing house keepers are not the only ones to
be benefited by the visitation. Every class
Of society, all merchants and artisans and
laborers will be benefited, and all will share
in blessings flowing from an impetus IN
trade, commerce and population. There
ought 10 be better sentiment prevailing,
enlarged views of this great affair ought to
be taken, meanness and lack Of pride and
patriotism ought to give way to deter
mined will to put the best foot forward,
and organized committees of citizens ought
to be at work preparing for 1876.

VICE President WILSON recent letter
is not creating half as much of ruction as
he anticipated it would. In fact, the only
importance which attaches to it outside of
its cordial approval by the Democratic
press resides in the fact that he assailed
THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. One third
of the newspapers OF the country have thus
far ignored it entirely, another third, in
cluding the Democratic journals referred
to, approve of it, and the remaining third
either derounce it as unnecessary or as
foolish attempt to make strong case out
of weak one. 1t is easy to strike the
average and find that Mr.. Wilson has not
succeeded in making ten strike this time.

Vice President Wilson writes long letter,
