N B OT-Y ORSISUS, Vsm Our Oam Correspondent. New York, Doc. 17, 18C9. Itlr. Oreelny and Mr. Reed. As soon as it became evident that the Richard on-McFarland scandal is abont to die out, some hlug occurs to throw in another pinch of innancy. If Messrs. Beecher, Frothingham, W Greeley had only imitated Sch.yler Colfax lind remained exasperatingly silent, the Inter viewers generally would have had no new per pective, and the sensation newspapers would padually have loosed their hold. Mr. Greeley, liowever, has eeen lit not only to make some ery inexpedient confessions to the reporter who ailed upon him. and who, he knew, paid the isit for the express purpose of phonographlcally Sporting him, but be also stooped to the still greater folly of interlarding those confessions mith profane expletives, and of subsequently llenying the correctness of Mr. Reed's report. ro dlillcult Is it to persuade people who only know Mr. Greeley by reputation that he is in the Cubit of using oaths, that nine out of ten Phlla- kieiuhians will De reaay to crcait ine wmie-coaica philosopher's denial. Deny it as he may, how ver, the simple fact remains, however, that few men living betray less reverence In conversation than he does, and are at the same time in the receipt of more. He knows when and where to lant a good oath, aud when he grows Indignant ii conversation is as full of dams as the imoiit mill-lined river in existence. To clinch the matter, however, Mr. Isaac G. Reed hu trnna in .Taflnrsnn Market Police Court, and . , - fihero before Justice Dodge, In the presence of witnesses, taken oath as to the minute truthful ness of his report, especially In regard to the points most strenuously denied by Mr. Greeley, Where will the end be, I wonder? Did ever one unhappy disaster cvor produce such a series of spectacles, at once sad and amnsing, as those presented by the wrigglings of the New York triumvirate, Greeley, Beecher, and frothing- ham? Of course It is easy to see that the perti nacity of the tfun In which Mr. Reed's counter contradictions have been published is due to Its hatred of Mr. Greeley. It is amusing to hear the breakfast-table comments upon Mr, Dana and bis conduct, by people who know but little of the ins and outs of newspaper life, and who critlcir.o in amatourlht fashion. 'I believe that man Dana has sold himself, body anc soui, w wo eovu r says ne man, a WaU street broker, who believes that Richard' son was all right, and "by Jove I d have done the f aVuo myself." , " LVliove Mr. Dana is one of the pioneers I nation s purity, exclaims a cotton merchant. "He respects the sanctities of domes tic life, and countenances no outragos upon public decency." "Do you suppose he cares a tinker's curse abont the right and wrong of the matter?" third puts In, a young man evidently on his way to the bad. "He wants to sell his paper. That's nil he wants. Such a fraud as that ought to be kicked to death by lame spldors." Indifferent totheso opinion, butnof indifferent to the fact of an opinion existing, and of himself and his paper fieing continually talked about. Meanwhile I might mention that one of the chief sources of the brightness of bis sheet is his having secured as night editor a gentleman named Dr. Wood, who was formerly city editor of the Tribune, besides superintending on 8at nrday the local department of tho Sunday JJfer cury. Dr. Wood's central idea concerning that department Is that the city editor should bo om niscient, that he should have a reporter posted at every point In city and suburbs whore anything occurs or Is likoly to occur, and that tho entire economy of metropolitan lifo should be as completely subject to liis touch as the keys of a piano are to the mas ter of that Instrument. This was tho course ho pursued on the Mercury, where ho sometimes had between forty and fifty reporters placed under his command. lie was so invaluable thcro that the Hun snapped him up, promising, If he would agree to come to them, to give him double the price offered him by tho Mercury, whatever tho offer might be. Accordingly, he bade farewell to Messrs. Whitney A Caldwoll, and abandoned their bummcrian licadquartcrs for the snug arm-chairs and argand burners of their daily rival. Since ho dou't know me and I don't know him, I may escape all charge of having written him a paid ptilT. Vnnderlillt nn n Pnlprramllinn. If thcro is anything Commander Vanderbilt prides himself on it is his stern virtue a virtue as enduring as the bronze which form his monu ment mid as unblushing as the suavity of Cap tain Albert Do (Jroot, his lavoritc henchman. And if among all his virtues thcro is any single one upon which he particularly prides himself, it is his economy, which manifests itself in u rigid refusal to pay any bills which may have been run up without his sanction by any member of his family. It seems, however, as though, In a fit of good humor, ho has lately settled a bill that a certain scion of his house ran up, aud which had been quietly allowed to run on for yenrs. Like many other people, the Commodore was In the habit of buying all his groceries at one place a largo grocery store kept by a Mr. Britton, who, to legitimate groceries, added the sale of liquors, cigars, fruit, etc. Once a month regularly the Commodore stopped in to settle up i lack bill. Upon ouo occasion, ho apparently noticed something wrong. Hallo !" he exclaimed, in his gruff way. "I never ordered these luxuries," and ho ran his forefinger down a luxurious list, in which vari ons wines and brandies vied with imported cigars and fruits. "Oh yes, you did, Commodore," returned Mr. Britton. "Your son Corned" (short for Corne lius) "was Iu here last week, and ordered 'cm sent up." The ho did ! Then ho did it on his own account, and he'll have to pay for them, for I won t pay that bill," saying which tho railroad and steamboat magnate stalked off, and left Mr. Britton out of spirits and out of pocket. Regularly every month for more years than it is necessary to compute, tho grocer sent the bill up to the Uommodore, wlio as regularly sent down a refusal. At length, one day, when Van derbilt had been out driving, and passed every thing en tho road, he came in in great good humor, and found the grocer's son Aleck wait ing with the inevitable bill. "When docs your father expect to get the money for this ?" ho asked. Oh ! this has a year more to run before it is outlawed," answered Aleck, who never lost his temper. "There s time enough yet to stick on the compound interest, and put the lawyers to work at it." 1 it ! there's the money," exclaimed the Commodore. "But if you ever let Corneel have a pound of sugar without a written order from me, I'll see you all in ." Brevity is often the soul of profanity as well as wit. Commodore Vanderbilt paid tho bill, but did not finish the sentence. A 850,000 Law Salt. Mr. Benjamin W. Hitchcock, the originator and successful publisher of Half-Dime Sheet Music, bas commenced an action against R. M, Dewitt, for an alleged infringement of his trade mark, laying damages at $50,000.
