Different Cases.

II Mr.. CYRUS W FIELD wants TO put up
u monument on American soil to Major
ANDRE, paying therefor out Of his own
pocket, there il nothing TO hinder. One Of
the inalicnable rights Of an American citi-
zen is to do what he pleases with his own
money, so long as he keeps within the laws
and we are not aware Of the existence Of
any law that need give Mr.. FIELD pause in
the carrying out Of his design.
But while Mr.. FIELD is building his monu-
ment to the spy ANDRE, other New Workers
with spare money on their hands might well
employa little Of II in putting up "A monu-
ment in this city TO the spy NATHAN HALE.
Both these spies were accomplished men,
and both met death bravely. The English
man ANDRE was hanged by GEORGE WASH
ISdToN; the American NATHAN HALE was
hanged by the English General HOWE. His
last words We're: . / only regret thnt | have
but one life to lose for my country"
1t may be said that he already has monu-
ment at South Coventry, Connecticut. Sc
has ANDRE a monument in Westminster Alb
hey. There is some doubt as To the precise
spot in this city where NATHAN HALE was
hanged, but the most trustworthy tradition
locates it between the present County Court
House and the Hall Of Records
What rich New Yorker will give the first

price at which these merchants sold their
goods does not fall under any of these cX-
ccptions. II it gave the price incorrectly, 1t
might indeed afford ground for legal re-
dress; but even then 1t would not amount to
u libel unless there were proof OF malice on
the part Of the publishers aud actual
pecuniary damage 10 the complainants. In
the present case, though, the agents of the
goods in question take the broad position
that the paper has no right to publish the
prices, even aside from errors; that Is to
say, they deny the right to publish the true
price. This appears clearly enough from
the letter of their counsel.
II is difficult to perceive what just cause
OF complaint merchant can find in the
publication of the price he receives for goods
openly sold by him. If forany reason, how
ever, he desires to conceal It, he may best
do so by observing secrecy himself and inn
posing Il upon tho buyer Unless he can
succeed in this way, we doubt whether he
can succeed at all The price Of standard
classes of dry goods Is matter Of general
public interest, omincntly proper for publi-
cation in the newspapers, and we do not
believe any court will venture to interfere
with them in this respect

Hardly in Keeping.

The Eighth OF January the anniversary
Of the battle Of New Orleans--is to be cclc-
brated 10y the Tammany Society Of this
city.
The day deserves to be commcmoratcd ;
hut what particular proprcty is there in its
celebration by Tammany? The meaning Of
the celebration is to do honor to the name
and character Of its great hero, ANDREW
JACKSON. Now, what had ANDREW JACK
son in common with the Tammany Society
as IL exists to-day
ANDREW JACKSON was q democrat. He
actually believed in an equality OF rights.
lie was thoroughly mbued with the Amer
lean principle. lie hated monopolies. lie
was suspicious and jealous Of corporate
power.
Tammany on the other hand, is n Jealous
champion Of the one-man power OF n power
wholly untagonistc to the American theory
of government and the equality OF the peo-
pie.
We heartily commend to the Tammany
Indians the study Of the grand and simple
character of ANDREW JACKSON. lie lived a
true democrat; and when he was going To
die he refused to have his body placed in q
sarcophagus because 1t had been designed
for a King A hero with such stanch antipa-
thics TO royalty would have been shocked at
the bare idea Of having his great victory
signalizcd by a King and Clown and their
sycophantic adhorcnts.
Let Tammany study the character 81
ANDREW JACKSON, and seek TO initiate, by
discarding its present principles and eschew-
ing its present methods.

New Law for Market Reporters.

4 very remarkable assertion Of right has
lately been made On behalf Of a prominent
firm of dry goods merchants in this city.
Under the head Of prices current, a weekly
journal called the DrH Goods Trade has
published the prices Of several kinds Of
goods which are said to be manufactured
on sold exclusively by the house We have
referred to. The firm alege that this is an
unwarrantablc Interference with their bust
ness, even if there is no error in the quota
tions They contend that goods for which
they are sole agents have no market price
properly so called; and itappcars that their
counsel have demanded Il cessation OF tine
publcatiun at tho same time warning the
proprietors OF the journal that its contilu-
uuce will be- at their peril.
Tho doctrine thus sought to be- enforced
is that newspaper cannot lawfully publish
under the title Of prices current the actual
price at which certain goods have been sold,
If IT happens that the solo agency iol the
sale Of those goods Is vested in "A llrln whose
members refuse TO consent to such publica-
tion. This certainly Is not familiar law to
the community, il indeed it Is law at all.
We are satisfied, however, that it is with
out legal authority either in principle OF in
any precedent worthy Oi respect. The gem
cral rule Is that publication Is lawful

one OF several classes Of confidential com
