How Some Journals Are Managed Rottenness in the Tribune Office An Editor-in-Chief in Trouble Tbe Morning Post and Cameron The New York Sun of this morning contains five columns of letters and documents Implica ting Mr. John Russell Young, the editor-in chief of the New York Tribune, In a series of very singular transactions, In which the Morning Post of this city is involved. We give portions of the Sun's account: In the Bntumn of 1865 a young gentleman,em ployed in p banking house in this city, sent a leader to the Tribune. It was written in a neat, pithy style, and it attracted Mr. Greeley’s atten tion. The managing editor, Mr. 8. H. Gay, sent the yonng gentleman a cheek for $lO, which proved entirely satisfactory. Other editorial ar ticles followed. They struck Mr. Greeley’s pecu liar fancy. The readers of the Tribune were un der the impression that Mr. Greeley himself was the writer of the articles. The yonng gentleman was ambitions and a natural intriguer. Through the Inliucnco of a mutual friend he obtained an Interview with Mr. Greeley. The result of this was that the managing editor of the Tribune was peremptorily ordered by Mr. Greeley to engage tbe yonng gentleman os a permanent editorial writer. * * * * » IS THE HARNESS AT LAST. Honrs glided into days, days wore themselves into weeks, weeks rolled themselves Into months, und the yonng gentleman still sat at his desk. He wrote much. He also began to dig. He dag hlmselt a rifle-pit in the affections of Mr Groe- Uy. He also dag a long trench In the minds of the stockholders, and laid a large quantity of pipe therein. The result was that the old man aging editor was impelled to resign, and the yonng gentleman St last mounted the Iribune saddle. Ho felt happy, and saw big things ahead. This was daring (he clos ing week in April. 1866. He was on strange ground, however, and was not disposed to trust the old Tribune pickets by whom ho was snr roonded. A Philadelphia body-guard was wanted, but it required tact to introduce it They were old friends. They must come into the Tribune office as strangers, to avert all suspicion, as will be seen by the letter below. The yonng gentle man was in the saddle at last. He felt blissful. How high he felt may be judged by the following letter,which we copy from bis own handwriting: OrritE or thh Triiscke, June 2, 1866 —Dear b'harbty. In the harness at last ! Took command 3 esteiday,—signed all the checks, and sent two men to Richmond—two to Canada. Ton see 1 am in—up to my eyes. I find the feeling good. The newspapers speak kindly of me. In the office the feeling is kind, —but 1 fancy a hidden dislike in one or tWo cases. lam to have' my share of stock In the paper,—and hope to be chosen trustee in the July meeting. Gay will mako trouble. Like the balldog boldly he will not. Like the barrowing rat lam afraid. Still I will do my duly, and trust to the God who has carried me thus far through worse trouble. Tell 'McConnell to come to New York a „ soon as he can. Give him the advice I spoke of. He mutt not allude to me a* an old friend. , l unit put him in, and let him morlcup. Send him on. How abont your own matter? Thine always, J«o. [ with a flourish. ] ' Philadelphia. Cbarles Me • * HE BECOMES A FLEET CAPTAIN. captain I tgjffigsTfel at home, the young ship, yclept the Star, was launched in PhiJSfflS? phla. Bhe was a one-gun sloop, scantily provi sioned, and she sailed in the wake of the Tribune. Occasionally she picked up a barrel of crackers, which, for special reasons, had been rolled from the decks of the Tribune. Apparently Bhe caused the young captain but little anxiety- He saws bright opening in an other direction, as the fol lowing letter will show: Officii Tribune, May 31, 1867. * ■ * Greeley goes to the Convention, and I am In for a hard summer. I don’t know when 1 shall be on not until yon want me specially. If only this Star gets on its feet, I want to make a move toward something here in New York. 1 see a bright opening. Don’t get deep In the other matter. Always yours affectionately, Jno. A NEW SHIP LAUNCHED. What this bright opening was has never been discovered. Captain of -two vessels, ho was stUJ unsatisfied. A third vessel was added to the fleet. It was launched in Philadelphia on Octobers, 1867, and was called the Morning Post. She was a poor sailer, with a meagre ontflt, and drew much ol her supplies from the flag-ship of the Commodore. One ol the Tribune's lieutenants was sent down to take charge of her. Being on detached service, his name was stricken from the pay roll of the Tribune, but be Btill continued to receive money for special services. Bat the Poet was an expensive craft, and needed considerable bracing. I BLEEDING THE UNION LEAGUE. To keep her afloat, a call, in the name of the Tribune, waß mado upon the Onion League of Philadelphia. Three days after she was launched ihelollowing letter was written to her super cargo: Tribune Office, New York, Oct. 8, 1867. Dear Charley. 1 have written to Fell and Boker to pave the way to getting money out of the Leogne for the Post. I have done it as a Tribune maD, urging it for the good of the cause. I hope good will come of it.* Your despatches are cheerful. I hope they represent more than your mere enthusiasm. If anything can live by pushing, the Post must live. How are yon with Forney? Why don’t yon send me the Post ? I have only had the first number. Please have it come regularly, and exchange with ihe Tribune. Jko. laying traps for five thousand— what parry JEROME SAID. With shallow wator and a strong current the Post moved bnt slowly. The Commodore was evidently ashamed of her, and in public denied that he was connected with her. Bat ho threw crumbs of comfort, not to be despised, to her officers. Here is a specimen : Office of the Tribune, New York, Wednes day, , 1867. —Dear Charley :As a paper the paper improves. Wednesday was a beauty. Stockton seems to make it spin. I write him by this mall. /am laying my traps for a 36,000 loan. 1 don’t see my way to it, out depend npon it I am working hard. The more Xam in the Post, the more enthusiastic I fool about It. I see fortune, fame, everything in its success, and we must succeed. * * * , Read Jno. Clayton’s note. Is it not kindr He is rich, and lam sure I can hit him slightly. He seems to like money, however. Leonard W. Jerome said to me once the secret of wealth was not so much to hold on ns to let jr o . * * * Jno. OUT OF PROVISIONS—A BAIT FOR A SALMON. Bnt provisions were getting low, and starva tion stared the crew of the Post in the face. The Commodore ordered all hands to go a fishing and to bail for Salmon. After the Post had boon afloat two weeks, Ohief Justice Chase, a promi nent candidate for tho Presidency, was Invited to become a render of it, as will be seen by the fol lowing despatch, sont by Bankers and Brokers’ Telegraph on Oct. 22,1867 : New York, Oet. 22,1867.— J0hn D. Stockton, Morning Posh— Please send to Chase, Washington, u file oi Pwsls from tho beginning. I have writton him. Bo suro in Philadelphia on Friday. Am goinfyo 6ee him. J. R. Y. How he succeeded with Mr. Chase Is unknown, bnt it is reported that the crew lived on Salmon for some weeks. Tho real caußO of the above 'do PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, APRIL 27,1869. epatcb is to be teen in tbe following letter, which wos written on October 17, 1867: Tribune Editorial Booms, Friday, Midnight. —ltear Charity: —l don’t say “if.” Anybody can win with money. Wo mnst win without. lam sure the manna will fall when we are hungry. Our stars have stood by ns. They never desert a man at 27. John McC. was here. I strongly advised against bis resigning. Told him to wait nntil he was kicked out. Nothing like having a friend at court. 1. What do yon mean by Forney being mollified ? 2. What do yon mean by Chase men “feel ing ns?” On that keep me well informed. I want to work that way for money. lam coming yonr way on Friday. Then I go through to see Obese for the Post. lam try ing to lay pipe for Cameron, Grow, and lots of people. Grow, who wants to be Vice-President, bos promised me help already. When I have sold my last boots, and am a beggar, I shall say “il” abont the Post. Not until then. Jno. SHOUT SUPPLIES—GOV. CURTIN WON’T BITE. The supplies again ran short. When the Chase movement ran out it became necessary tb find new friends for the Morning Post. Ex-Gov. Cnrtln was a prominent candidate for the Repub lican- nomination for Vice-President. An attempt wos made to “strike" him for $6,000, but the Governor didn’t think the influence pf the flag ship in New York and her two tenders in Phila delphia worth that amount. Trenches were dng and approaches were made to the Gover nor in regular parallels, The siege was a strong one; but was nbsucceßsfuL Mr. Greeley’s Commodore proposed to sell out th&PosL and the editorial influence of the THSuna wlth the Republicans of the Keystone State, to> be pun in the interest of Gov. Curtin. Accordingly nego tiations wCre opened with ColonelA. K 'Mc- Clure. Meetings were held, wine was drunk, and suppers were eaten at the-Continental Hotel, Philadelphia. A plain proposition was made to fell the Post. Colonel McClure is a shrewd busi ness man, and was therefore unwilling to pay ihe priee named. He did not regard'the Post as of any considerable value. The Commodore, however, reminded Mr. McClure that the fourth page of the Tribune was all-powerful, and that its Influence was a valuable consideration, and would prove worth more than the price paid for the Post. The Governor was consulted, but he did not believe tbe Commodore could give a clear ■jtie to the “ Tribune’s influence,” and therefore he refused to pay the money. Thus the negotia tions ended with a refusal to pay. Something must be done. Tbe supplies were again grow ing short. The cry was “Bread, bread, or we starve! ’’ A RAIL.’ A sail!—AN EAST INDIAMAN DISCOVERED. In this dilemma the Commodore swept the po litical horizon and fastened his eyes upon Simon Cameron. The Tribune bad been Cameron’s un relenting enemy from tbe time he left the War Department for the Russian mission in 1862. Its silence, if not its influence, in view of the Chicago Convention and the approaching Sena torial election in Pennsylvania, would be in valuable. The affections of Mr. Greeley’s Commodore for the “War Governor” experienced a sudden change. Be wrote lettere to the “pare patriotof Harrisburg,’’ ridiculed the Governor, belittled Grow, belled Kelley, sneered at Gov .Fenton, dis paraged half a dozen other pnblic men in a single tetter, and thus, getting “Lochiel” in a “money lending humor, ’ soon found willing.purchaser. Cameron was caught in his own trap and beaten at his own game. He bonght the Philadel phia Morning Post and the “editorial in fluence” of the Tribune, and paid therefor $5,000. It seems, however, that the first purchase did not bold, for, subsequently, an additional $5,000 was demanded and paid, and that was followed by a final payment, so far as the' books show, of $2,250, making in all $12,250 for the Philadelphia Post and “inflnence” of the New York Tribune. the files of the two papere will show. CAMERON TO BE STRUCK —“THAT’S GAy!” ! Simon was at .first bled very gently. In No vember. 1867, Mr. Greeley’s Commodore wrote the following letter: Monday, Midnight— Dear Charley : * * I am cleaned ont—dead broke—busted, and mast look elsewhere for new supplies. All my salary is gone. Please send me receipts for payment of money advanced. Don’t forget my expense credit. My last trip to Washington was to see Cameron for Post, and get him In the money-lending humor. J. D. 8. should strike him far a couple of thou sands, and put It in Jointly into the concern. I talked to Cameron two hoars abont the Post. He is filled with the desire of breaking down Forney. Credit me with $l,OOO on account of the Hoe note paid, and enter it as so much money paid to the Star on account of indebtedness. Impress upon J. D. 8. the necessity of getting money ont of Cameron. Also, see J. B. abont his obligations. Ho wrote me he owed to-day— Forney $5OO Jessup 960 Hoe 1,000 I don't know how in Heaven’s name he got through. I paid Hoe, bnt as Jeasnp’a bill is really ours—and we have need of J. 8.’6 money so that he ean’t nay J. W- F., please go round and see Him and confer with him, and If yoa get Thomas's note cashed, help him. The paper looks splendid. I am glad you get Associated Press news anyhow. That's gay. Jno. THE IMPEACHMENT OF ANDREW JOHNSON. The Commodore returned from Washington in high glee. He again began to prepare the Post lor a long voyage. The following letter was written after his return: N. Y. Tribune Editorial Department, Nov. 26,1867. —Dear Boys-. I came through from Wash ington Sunday night, having arranged the im peachment testimony beat—the biggest thing out in the way of beat that I remember. It was the sensation here yesterday. I am goiDg to see Hoe-to pay him the second thousand for the press. This will cut off supplies from me for a little time, as the raising of this second thousand with auxiliary hundreds has tied me all up. Yon should by all means try and have your Thomas notes discounted, and then I will come np with added reinforcements if I can. Cameron says he will help the Post, and make his friends help it. I talked to him two hours about it in Washington. He Is very bitter about Fornov. Your MeMlcbacl obituaries were terrific and cap ital. Impeachment will die away until Christmas, and during the holidays I would torn tho bat teries to local matters, and seo if we cannot in crease the circulation. Tout a vous. J. R-Y. ******** THE HORIZON AGAIN SWEPT—‘‘A GOOD THING FOR US." It is understood that at this time Cameron was bled to the amount of $5,000. This kept the crew of Ihe Post in "salt horse" and ‘’duff until April, when the horizon was again swept, Cam eron and Grow discerned, and tho leeches again applied to the former. The Commodore kept two strings to his bow. Ho played fast and loose with both Grow and Cameron,as tho following extract from a letter written to “Dear Charley" on March 10, 1-868, will show: Sunday —Dear C.: * * * Post looks well. Grow being Chairman (Republican State) Com mittee is a good thing for us. Likewise the de feat of Cameron. It will make him work, and make the Post more necessary to him. Yours, J®o - SWOOP ON CAMERON. Still in trouble, another swoop was made on Cameron. On April 24 a letter was written to “Dear 8.,” telling him how to form a joint stock company according to the laws of Pennsylvania. The Tetter concluded thus: This being done,, wa-can.divide.the shares In the ratio of their ownership, and soli out enough to Cameron or any one else. I promised Don Cameron yon would go to Harrisburg and coa ler with him jherenent very soon—in a week. Then he said he would have the money ready. Have this done os speedily as possible, os it OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. would be the basis of a new and permanent ar rangement. Yours always, Jbo. Russell Young, telegram prom oameron’s son. Bpt “Hear 8.” was tardy as usual, and the Commodore soon afterward received tho follow ing despatch from the son of Senator Cameron: Harrisburg, Pa.,May I— John Russel Youno, Tribune Office, N. r. : Stockton has not yet been hire: Igo to WaehiDgton lodav. Will you ask yonr brother (James R. Young,' Tribime Wash ington, correspondent) to see me this evening or to-morrow morning. This despatch ho forwarded to Philadelphia, with tho following letter: Mat 1, 1868.— Pear Charley: —l enclose a de spatch from Don Cameron, which showa that he is anxiouß to make tho arrangement with Stock ton, end about which I have written to him twice without any answer. I telegraphed him to goand see him in Washington, and leamupon what terms he would take an interest m the Port, land whether he was in the humor to do wbat he promised me to do in Harrisburg. This is the very, ibest arrangement, I think, that you can make. Cameron’s alliance with your paper will give it a great deal of political value; it will enable you to bay a large press; and if you don’t have as much Interest in the paper as now, your inieredt becomes a certainty, and not a specula tion. ..+.f* * * * * * •Let Chmeron come in without lessening what youowh- . We can make an arrangement now, and probably we cannot do Jt at any other time. It will to permanent, will strengthen our paper, wiUmdkelfa success, take the Star ont of its present difficulties, enable you and it to meet ail yonr engagements, and give smooth sailing here after, without.at)y debt hanging over; tho con cern. lam verjymnch surprised at not receiving the statement for which I wrote to.you. If I had received it, I~ should have gone to Harrisburg and closed the matter right up. As it is, I may go to WaehiDgton io-Dight at 7% and eee Cam eron personally. McClure writes mo fromOham berßbuig to know whether yon are in any differ ent frame Of mind about selling him a part of the Post. I have made no reply to him, bat of course that it Is utterly onl of the question to make any arrangements upon the basis indi cated in his conversation with me in Philadel phia! He tells me that Brown and Harding have both voted against his admission to the Associated Press. il I go to Washington I will telegraph you, and shall probably aek yon to meet me on the 10 o’clock train that goes through. Youra, trnly, Jno. Russell Young. Chaa: McClintocb, Esq. i THE RUTHLESS FORNEY AT WORK. ID the. meantime the ruthless Forney began borisg Into the bnll of the star.

SO mueh for the Commodore’s, efforts to keep his vessef in fighting trim.

It was hardly laßuchedJhowever, before it began, printing the with Press cable despatches, along taneouriy aimni. editors <of the "Philadelphia Journals became alarmed,, and complained to the Associated Press Agent m their city, who forwarded tbe following letter to the General Agent in this city, Mr. J.W. Simonton: . „ Philadelphia. Oct. 12,1867.—J. W. Bimonton, 'Em.—Dear Sir :—l enclose a portion of the Morning Post newspaper, issued here by parties connected with the Tribune. Our papers com plain that the cable news is published in it, and, as they do not get it through me, the supposition Is that it is sent from New York. If this is so, our papers think they have a right to complain. Yours respectfully, * [Signed J Wst. W. Fulton. On the margin the following in lead pencil: Dear Mr. Young: I suppose nobody in the New York Tribune office “leaks” onr cable news. How is it ? Yours trnly, | Signed] J- W. Simonton. We have before ns a copy of this letter which was forwarded to the supercargo of the l‘ost, en dorsed on the back in the Commodore’s hand writing as follows: , Dear Charley—This correspondence will inter est yon. Y. THE LEAK AT THE CORNER OF SEVENTH AND An attempt to erase this endorsement with a lead pencil has failed. It Is still clearly dis tinguishable. To Fulton's letter forwarded by Mt. Bimonton, the Commodore returned the fol lowing replv: Office of the Tribune, New York, Oet. 15, 1867. Dear Mr. Simonton :—l have made a care ful investigation, and find that, so far as I can see, no despatches go ont of this office to any newspaper. One of my staff Informs me that he sent the newspaper yon mention some of onr specials, under an arrangement with the editor, Mr. Stockton, that he would credit ns. These Bpecialß reforred to election news, affairs in Washington and In New York, and do not, I be lieve, come under any restriction of the Associa- I had a conference with Mr. Moulder yesterday on this subject. It seemed that the newspaper containing the Cable news also contained some election specials that appeared In the Press. I presume the means that placed the Press specials at ihe disposal of the Post would also place the Press CabTe news. . Mr. Fulton’s note conveys the gossipping statement that “parties connected with the Tribune ” rnn the papor in question. Its editor was a Tribune writer, and has gone from us ab solutely. Its publisher, lam told, was until last week publisher of the Press. Mr. Fulton would have been more correct if he had said “parties connected with the Press," and I fancy the “leak” will be found in tho vicinity of Seventh and Obestnnt. I am not hero at night, bnt my night editor is a gentleman of Irreproachable character. Please send mo yonr correspondence with J. \Y Forney, Jr. From what Mr. Moulder says, I have no doubt it is rich. Yours always, | Signed ] ' Jno. Russell Young. J. W. Simonton. CAUQHT IN THE TRAP AT LAST. In the meantime Mr. Simonton resorted to trap despatches. He sent a cable despatch to tho Tri bune, dating it a day behind the same despatch 6ent to the Herald and Times. It appoared in the Post with the Tribune date. Mr. Simonton then sent to the Tribune a false despatch, announcing the escape of Garibaldi from prison. He cor rected it after the telegraph line to Philadelphia was closed. The despatch did not uppear in tho Tribune, but it did in the Post. Similar traps were laid with like results. Mr. Simonton then wrote another lotter to the young gentleman,and received the following reply: Tribukk Office, New York, Nov. 5,18G7. — J. \V.

Those who offend will bo immediately dismissed. Yours trnly, John Russell Young, Managing Editor. J. W. Simonton. Esy., Agent Associated Press. YOUR ASSOCIATED PRESS BUSINESS. On the day before this letter was written tho following despatch left the Tribune office: New York, Nov. 4,1867 Chap. McClin tock, Morning Post—lt Is important that yon or Stockton 6bonld come over to New York to night on yonr Association Press business. D. H. John Russell Young. Stockton left immediately. He arrived in the evening, and immediately went to tbe Tribune office. On Nov. 6 he sent to Philadelphia the following: 3.30 A. M.— Dear Charlie: Have weathered tbe gale, I think. Clements was all right. Have written him to sont while Amos is sick. Don’t think It necessary for Mac to go on. Clements iS in the affair now, and I think it likely Amos had told hint all about it before. WHERE THE LEAK REALLY WAS. In view of his letters to Mr.Simpton,tho follow ing gushing epistle from Mr. Greeley’s Commo dore to the boyß on the Post.written before Simon ton’s first letter, will prove highly interesting: New York, Oct. 9.1867. Dear Boys: —Have just sent condensation of column Cable, and all else. I did not send elec tion details, supposing yon would have them from Press. I hope I did not err in this, as I might have given yon a column. The Cable was good, and I sent to make sore, signing Warner’s [afterward exiled,‘-and died in the Tribune's Botany Bay | name. I was disappointed not to have Tuesday’s Post. I did not say to J. D. S. how pleased I was to have him go on so promptly. Your despatches were as invigorating as wine. I sincerely hope wc have not blundered In thiß business,and I wait for news with feverish anxiety. Telegraph me constantly and promptly yonr wants. I will put tho Tribune behind yon if I can oniv know how. * * * I want you to write me daily all yonr suggestions, ideas,hopes and fears. ' |Jno. OTT TOO, BUT DIDN’T— REMARKABLE SIMPLICITY OF A VETERAN. The gale was weathered. ’Oti January 21,1868, clouds again gathered in the sky. “Dear Charley ” received the following from the Com modore: ! Dear Charley :—Please send no Pasts hero bnt Ihe personal copy to me. I had Ottarsozt Watch ing it for specials, and I don’t want to have the specials talked about. Don’t send it to any one bnt ine, and strike Tribune off exchange list. This is important jnst now. I wul change Ott from night desk soon. I hope yon are well. Paper looks welL Jno. The veteran “Ott” was soon changed from the night te the day desk, bat he had eyes in the hack of his head. He was too watchfol, and was finally grabbed by the nape of the neck and thrown into the sea. The ship sailed on with her-gallant young Commodore, and Ott's dying cries were drowned in the roar of the breakers: ,1. D. 8. GETS A LONG, FIRM, KIND LETTER. The Lieutenant in charge of the Post ap parently gave the Commodore considerable anxiety. In February he wrote! the following letter: Editorial Department, New York Tri bune, February —, 1868.— Dear Charley: * * * I have written J. D. S. in this mail a long, firm, kind letter abont midnight work. If he don’t do better 1 will make it an order next week. Be sore and report J. R Y. F.

In November, 1867, Mr. Charles Dickens visited New York. In Boston he had been filled with stories of the marvellous genius and wonderful ability of the "blue-eyed boy,’ Commodore, of the Tribune. Dickens visited tbe Tribune one Saturday afternoon, and found the prodigy in his sanctum. An hour was spent, very pleasantly, and "80/. ’ retired. This was in December, 1867. On the 16th "Charley” re ceived the following: Dear Charley : Please copy this in your hand and print as news in Post and Star. 1 want Forney and Mackenzie to know that Dickens made this call. It will be a card. Quietly—do it quietly, and get J. B. to copy. I notico you in Tribune to-morrow. Js o. What Charley was requested to copy was the following, which ia before us in the handwriting of Mr. Greeley’s Commodore: “Mr. Charles Dickens.—A New York Sunday paper save Mr. Dickens remains quiet at West minster,"takes long walks, and sees a few Wends. Yesterday afterneon he called upon Mr. Young, the managing editor of the Tribune. The Tribune s notices of Dickens have been marvels of journal ism, and have excited as much attention almost as the novelist himself. They have been done by Mr. Clarence Cook, William Winter, and J. R. G. Hassard. Dickens goes to Boston to read Christ mas Carol on Christmas evening.” This appeared in the Philadelphia Post and the Philadelphia Star, both under the management of Mr. Greeley’s Commodore. The "New York Sunday Paper” referred to had an existence in the fertile imagination of the Commodore. GEN. GRANT CATCHES A ePIDER It was whispered around the newspaper offices on Seventh Btreet, Philadelphia, that the Com modore was to receive recognition by the new Administration, and was to be appointed to somo high place. Mr. Greeley, it is said, would not accept office. The next greatest journalist in America was, therefore, to be selected for a place in the Cabinet. This thing was “fixed.” A gen tleman in Philadelphia procured a private lmer view with the President elect, and Informed him that tho “Blue-eyed Boy” of the Tribune was owned by Cameron. "Do you know that to be true?” said Grant. "I have it in writing. Tho young man has been bought and paid for, and has given a written pledge to do anything that Cameron would ask.” Then the thing was “unfixed.” The Lieutenant of tho Post afterward went to Washington, and spent effort, time and money, but to no purpose. The Bpider had boon caught in his own web. Grant saw it. The name had been rubbed from tho Cabinet slate, and could not be replaced. Tho Lieutenant went home. "Lochiel” was defeated, and the now Cabinet was botched. HOW MR. OKELKY RECEIVED THE NEWS. On Friday afternoon last tho originals of the above letters were shown to tho Hon. Horaco Greeley. He read them through very carefully. He didn’t rise to his feet in a fit of passion, and smash the bußt of Lincoln adorning his sanctum; neither did he break thq chairs, dismember tho table, or split the desk standing in his room. Ho simply threw hlmeelf back in his chair, drew a long breath, and said: "Weil, Sam, this is mighty interesting reading!” „ , Three hours afterward ho left the 7 nbuoe office, jamming his black folt hat on the back of ms head, exclaiming, “Well,well-sold again tor tho eighty-sixth time-" VINALK.

AIIOBEBBIItS. —Tho snug little Theatre Comiqne was ■ crowded last evening npon the occasion of the first production, bythe Gal ton Company, ol Dnprata’s operetta Javolte.

She was assisted by Mr.- Whlffinand Mr. A. Kellsber.

These are needed to make np a quartette; and If there whs 0 really «ood quartette, any deficiencies In orchestra and choruß could readily be forgiven.
