Piazza di Spaona, Rosts, Italy, Friday, April
9, 1869 “Mozler’s 'Prodigal Son’ is the only
piece of statuary in Rom# that I have Intensely
coveted for myself. The figures being beyond
me, I should liko to havo it occasionally, in the
house of a friend. The whole spirit, lesson,
aim and end of the Bible arc expressed or sug
gested In this exquisite group; and what a joy it
wonld be to have it before one morning and mid
day and evening! Blessed will that man bo who
can number it among his treasures, provided he
can appreciate It.”
This is what Dr. J. G. Holland (Timothy Tit
comb”) wrote from Rome this winter to the
Springfield Republic an. Every reader and admi
rer of ‘‘Eathrina” throughout the United States
will be glad to hear that this group, so highly
praised by Dr. Holland, has been boaght by an
American, not for his own bouse, nor for the
honse of a friend where it can only be seen occa
sionally, but for a public hall, where Dr. Holland
and his largo troop of admirers can see it when
ever they please.
Mr. J. Gillingham Fell, of your city, so well
known, not only for bis large fortune—which Is
a goodly and delightful thing to possess—bu l
aleo for his public spirit and tho excellent use he
makes of his means, has purchased this gronp of
Mozier's “ Return of the Prodigal Bon," and pre
sented it to tho Academy of Fine Arts in Phila
delphia. Alter a few weeks it will arrive in your
city, aid I, who have enjoyed so often the May
and June Exhibition, can readily imagine the
pleasure and enthusiasm of the crowds of visi'
tors when this new attraction is placed in the
Pnlladeiphla Academy.
Mr. Fell's is the original and only life-size of
the ‘‘Prodigal Son." The story la not told too
literally: it is idealized. As the sculptor himsell
remarked, it is Experience and Folly, Error and
Forgiveness, Youthful trust aud’the Sympathy of
Age. The son rests his head on his father's
bosom; the old man embraces the erring boy, and
bends over him with quiet tenderness. There Is
great repose In the whole expression: the boy
looks weary, but as If he had found the haven oi
rest; the lather shows no eagerness, no elation
over the return of his eon; tho old man has had
long experience with the temptations of life, and
Is aware of the proneness to evil in human na~
tare; be knows that his poor boy may fall again,
and is not 100 hopeful; there is no limit, how
ever, to the tender forgiveness; it is a little sad'
to be sure, but the love in the aged face is un
bounded.
The drapery alone most have takes months of
labor and thonght, and the finish and elaborate
workmanship of the scnlptnre is something truly
remarkable. Mr. Durham, a_ member of the
English Royal Academy, prondnneed this gronp
of the "Return of the Prodigal Son” the finest
piece of work in Rome for execution atone, set
ting aside its poetic rendering of one of the most
touching parables of onr Blessed Lord.
American munificence to public institutions is
well-known, bnt it has been mostly shown
towards objects of material, practical purpose.
"The poor ye have always with ye," and it is well;
bat man does not live on bread alone; there is
also something else required, and this liberality
which Mr. Fell has ehown in the cause of art is
commendable and worthy of imitation.
Before leaving the subject, one suggestion can
be made with propriety to other moneyed men
who may be generously inclined to follow Mr.
Fell's example. The collection of sculpture be
longing to the Philadelphia Academy is very
small. There are three other works in Rome
that ought also to be placed in it: Miss Foley’6
"Jtremloh," Miss Stebbing’s "Joseph" and Miss
Hosmer’s "Zenobia.” America has led the way
in this movement of women to help women.
Let American men show what trnly great works
American women have done in the way of art.
Roman weather, as it nsed to be, has been this
season a tale of the past, bat to-day the pros
pects seem brighter, and we are likely now to
have a period of fair weather. On Tuesday
morning we drove ont the Porta Maria Mog
glore to Torre Nuova, to the Hunt Meet. The
morning was beautiful; the sky a little covered,
bnt enough sun to make the Campngna ravish
ing. The carriages, filled with pretty and well
dressed women; the graceful Amazon riders; the
red coats of the huntsmen, and the eager, sharp
scented hounds, made a pleasant sight to look
al; while the invigorating air and the smell of the
fresh earth and crashed herbs, trampled down by
the horses' feet and carriage wheels, was a savory
odor equally delightful. The lark's song, too,
was added, so that nothing was wanting to oar
enjoyment.
We drove abont the Campagna, walked, fol
lowed tbe hnnt for awhile, and then, when we
Baw the rain in the distance coming toward os,
we had the carriages closed and retreated pru
dently to Rome, leaving the male and female
Nimrode to start their fox by themselves, al
though several carriages remained on the field
through the rain.
On Monday, April sth, the Princes Maria Dolla
Grade Pia was married to the ex-Duke Robert
of Parma, by the Pope, in person, in his chapel
at tho Vatican. This Princess Is the little girl
who was born at Gaeta, in 1849, when the Pope
was there in refuge, during the Roman Revolu
tion. She was baptized there by his Holiness,
who is her godfather. At tho wedding there were
present her brother, the ex-King of the two
Sicilies, the Qneen, Cardinals Antonclli, Clarclll,
Do Luca, Monalo, La Valletta and Grandlini,
Count and Countess of Caserte. Count de Bari,
Count and Countess Trapani, brothers and sisters,
brotherß-in-law and sisters-in-law of the bride,and
Don Alfonzo de Bonrbon, Infant of Spain.
Before Mass the Pope look a seat near the altar,
robed in white chappe and embroidered mitre.
A pontifical master oi ceremonies Invited the
Dnke of Parma to kneel before the Pope;
another master of ceremoqics gave the samo re
quest to the Princess Maria Pia. Tho two knelt
before his Holiness while he asked of each their
respective consent to the marriage. He then pro
ceeded to pronounce tho solemn formula of tho
ritual. After the wedding the yonng couple won!
down into St. Poter’s, and knelt at the various
altars.
The position which the Duke of Parma took
on Palm Sunday at St. Peter's, and which I men
tioned in my preceding letter, has caused some
remarks to bo made In the diplomatic circle; also
the attentions paid to tho Prince of Saxe Mein in

THE NEWSPAPER SCANDAL
Statement from Mr. J. D, Stockton
[From tho Morning PontJ
Tbe Post and its Enemies
Any scoundrel who wants to sell private letters
must now go to tbe New York Sun. That
paper published yesterday five columns of atro
cions scandal, the reenlt of a deliberate conspiracy
to injure the Homing Post arid John R. Young,
the Managing Editor of the Now York Tribune.
This scandal consists of arranged and garbled
letters, purporting to be written confidentially by
Mr. Young to Charles McCUntock, formerly the
publisher of this paper.
The charges made in the comments which
string together these notes and telegrams are to
the following effect: I. That Mr. Young sup
plied the Post with the Associated Press news in
violation of his duly. 11. That he bargained
with Senator Cameron to sell him the editorial
support of the Tribune lor certain sums of money
to establish the Post. ILL That Cameron,
Chase, Grow and Brewster were fleeced. IV.
That otter making a bargain with Cameron, Mr.
Young.on account of the Post, endeavored to sell
this paper and the Tribune to Cnrlin for five
thousand dollars.
All of which I pronounce an infamous lie, lor
which, if Mr. Young had not sued tho Sun for
libel, 1 wonld. There is just enough troth In the
article to make the ialsebood moro monstrous
and disgusting. I propose now to do what I
have loDg wished to do—to tell the public the
whole story of the Morning Post from beginning
to end, that it may be known what opposition
the paper has met, and how savagely its enemies
have struggled to destroy it.
The Post was established in October, 1867, at
two days'notice, at the earnest solicitation of
Charles McCUntock, who was an old schoolmate
of Mr. Young's, and then the cashier of the
Press. It was not known then that Mr. MeClin
tock was about to be dismissed by Col. Forney.
It had long been the desire of Mr. Young and
myeeli to eslablish in PhUadelphia a paper which
-honld be independent of all factions, and per
fectly true to Radical principles. I left the 7V»-
bur.e at once, and took the editorship ef the Post,
then a poor little penny paper, wlthont either
capital or friends. It made its impression at
once. The penny was in Its favor—i.s honesty
eviry honest man felt. Then followed the need
ol capital, the want of news, the perception of
the fact that tbe receipts of a small penny mom
ng paper wonld not equal its expenses. It was
i ectseary to make a new movement, and it was
made.
First for the news. We applied to the
Associated Press again and again, and were re
lueed admittance to that monopoly—that associa
tion for the suppression of newspapers through
out the United States. We offered to pay an ex
traordinary price for the privilege—for news is
be capital of a newspaper—bnt stlU we were re
lated. We were told that no more newspapers
were wanted in PhUadelphia. Therefore we
resolved to have the news, and employed Amos
J. Cummings, then night editor ol the Tribune,
to send it. He con tinned to do so for soma
months, till the source of onr information was
discovered, and we got tired of paying for tele
grams that were of little Interest to the public.
With this arrangement Mr. Young hod nothing
to do. He may have suspected it. He was
never informed of It by me. It was bv
Mr. Young’s direct influence that this matter was
stopped.
Second. As for capital, money soon bcoame ne
cessary, for probably no newspaper was ever
started that did not lose in its firet year. Cer
tain sums of money were borrowed from gentle
men who took an Interest In the Post, and some
of them have been repaid. The Tribune, the
Press, the Sun, and almost every newspaper In
New York and PhUadelphia, have received simi
lar aid, and the whole transaction was a purely
business one from beginning to end. Notes were
eiven and endorsed, legal interest was paid; the
gentleman who were kind enough to loan young
men tbe capital to establish an independent pa
per in PhUadelphia, did so because thev believed
in independence, because they thought the in
vestment a safe one, because they expected to be
paid back. Not one dollar has ever been received
by the paper as a subsidy or a gift—no bargain was
ever made with Cameron, or Grow, or Brewster,
or any man; no bargain could have been made
without my knowledge, lor I, and I alone, am
responsible" for every opinion nttered in these
colnmnß. I have heard these stories abont Sena
tor Cameron ever since Mr. McCUntock was dis
missed the paper, but never once did he or his
sob, or any of his friends, attempt to dictate to
me my policy. Never did they ask me to advo
cate a measure or oppose one. They have never
even made a suggestion. The Post has been as
independent of Senator Cameron, or Mr. Brew
ster, or Mr. Grow, or Mr. Young, as it is of the
Cham of Tartary. I have taken my own path,
and sometimes It has run paraUel with, and
sometimes it has crossed theirs. To this they can
bear testimony. It is true they were onr creditors
—bnt onr masters, never.
And who started this infamous story, intended
to ruin a yonng paper, and a few yonng men?
Who ? A dismissed eaehier, who ooold not settle
his books, who conld not account for the money
entrusted to his care, who is known to, at least,
have boirowed the money of the Post, which it
needed, to pay his personal debts. A man in
whom, because of Mr. Yonng’s years of boyish
friendship, implicit confidence was reposed—a
man who betrayed that confidence, who betrayed
me, who betrayed Yonng, to whom he owed ad
vancement ana position, and whose conduct as
publisher plunged the Post, into em
barrassments above which only re
cently it has risen. This is Charles McUlintock,
who bas dexterously escaped from all respon
sibility for the debts el the Post, and who is now
doing all in his power to revenge himself for hiß
disgrace and dismissal. He is the man to whom,
in the confidence of long years of mistaken friend
ship, letters were icritten in strict confidence by Mr.
I'oung, who gave or sold garbled extracts from
those letters to the Sun, and who after tips will no
longer dare to knock at the door of any gentle
man, lest ho should hear the inevitable words,
"Too lato ! too la to! you cannot enter now.”
Who else took part in the conspiracy? Amos
J. Cummings, the man employed to give the As
sociated Press news to the Post; who afterwards
was dismissed by Mr. Yonng for disobedience;
who then became night editor of tho Sun. It is
enough to say of him that, while on the Sun, he
offered to procure for the Post tho Associated
Press news, but that his offer was not accepted.
His Is the revenge of tho wasp which stings,
though it knows that to sting 1b to die. He ac
cuses Mr. Young of giving U 6 the news; ho him
self furnished it.
Who else? Charles Dana—ox-As
eistant Secretary of War, Managing Editor of
the Sun, and hitherto presumed to bo a gentle
man. He has said that he three or four times re
fused to print these totters, because they were
private letlers. He has said that he wanted to
Injure the Tribune. He was told, lam informed,
that this scandal wonld be worth $20,000 to the
Sun, and consented at last to print it. "Twenty,
thousand dollars, then, is the price for which Mr.
Dana sells his' reputation as a gentleman. After
this exposure the valuation will be thought too
high. Mr. Dana has made himself tho accom
plice in the baeeßt conspiracy known in Ameri
can journalism.
Who else? j. R. Sypher, dismissed from the
editorial department of the Tribune, and sent to
Philadelphia as a buslnoss agent by tho influence
OUR WMOIiE COUNTRY.
of bis friends. A man whom Bimon Cameron,
whom he now abases, educated, and who re
pays the kindness he met ns a boy by his ingra
titude as a man. Of him I need say nothing, bnt
that I am told that ho carried to New York the
letlers which Mr. McCUntock betrayed.
Much moro I might say, but this is enough.
Those who aspire to the heights and purer air of
journalism do not like to go down to the mud
and filth of the swamps, amidst the crocodiles
and snakes. The man who sells or prints private
letters on any pretence, would listen at a key
hole. Who will say that the Post, in all ltd stormy
career, ever stooped to such means to injure its
worst enemies? 1 have been asked by the pettv
foes of those whom the Post has attacked, to
print private letters, aDd personal scandal. Bat
rather than have the policy of the paper thus tri
umph, I would rejoice in Us defeat. If we can
not make war as gentlemen, better abandon tho
struggle altogether. Private letters we
have now, bnt we prefer not to fol
low Mr. DaDa's example. That is an excep
tional perfidy and shame, and such let it remain.
The Post has never depended upon any man or
politician for success, and if we have received aid
from friends, that is simply a matter of personal
business. The Post depends solely npon itself
and upon the public, and only by support of the
public can any paper succeed. This journal was
established to advocate principles, and he who
asserts that it has ever been involved in any po
litical job,or served any master bnt my own con
science, has an Infinite capacity for lying which
should be put to more profitable employment.
Though the Post has met with all these trials—
the opposition of the entire Associated Press, the
enmity of onr local poUtical rings, the treachery
of its trusted servants, the evils of calnmny—
It baf risen above them aU. Without the Asso
ciated Press, we have made it a good newspaper;
with very little aid or capital, we have established
it as a power in poUtics and a leading journal of
Pennsylvania. A deliberate and disgraceful con
spiracy has been formed to destroy the confi
dence of the public in its integrity and character,
and to destroy tbe character of Mr. Young, be
cause of bis personal friendship tor me. Bat I
have not the slightest fear that the assertions of
men dismissed for treachery—men who betray
sacred confidence—men who have confessed
themselves to be beneath the notice of gentle
men—will be accepted as more weighty than my
own. If this is pride, I feel that it is that kind
of pride of which I have the right to be prond.

Salmon P. Chase sums of money to secure his
(deponent's) support for hiß nomination for tho
office of President of tho United States, all of
which deponent denies as without the least foun
dation in truth and as false and scan
dalous, he never having directly or indi
rectly rcceivod or ondeavored to recelvo or ex
pected to receive any snm of money from the
Hon. Salmon P. Chase or from any friend of the
Hon. Salmon P. Chase. And deponent farther
slates that the said article contains tho following:
“The Commodore (meaning deponent), however,
reminded Mr. McClure that the fourth pago of tho
Tribune was ail powerfol; that its influence was a
valuable consideration and would prove worth
moro thau tho price paid for tho Post," all oi
which deponent denies as without the least foun
dation In trnth, and as false, and scandalous. And
deponent furthor states that said article contains
the following: "Grow struck heavily;" thereby
meaning that the Hon. Galusha A. Grow was
asked or cqmcellcd ! by Corrupt-means to.pay-cer
tain earns of monoy to this deponent, nil of
which deponent denies as wlthont the least foun
dation in truth, and as false and scandalous.
And doponent' farther states that said article
contains tbo following: "It is understood at
this time Camoroa was bled to the tone of
$5,000,” thereby meaning that the Hon. Bimon
Cameron was corrnptly compelled to pay $5,000
to deponent (or the inffucnco of the Post or tho
of tbe sun.
Tribune, all of which deponent denies as without
the least foundation in troth, and as false and
scandalous. And deponent farther states that
the said article contains the following: "It is
aleo stated that the Hon. Thomas N Booker, the
veteran foreman of lhe Tribune composing-room,
became an eye sore to tho Commodore (meaning
deponont), who resolved to dig him out,” there
by meaning that this deponont was endeavoring
to have Mr. Hooker removed from the office of
foreman, all of which deponent denies as with
out tho least foundation in truth, and as false
and scandalous. And doponent further states
that said article contains tho following:
“PiiiLADKLi uiA. April 21, 1869 Dear Sir :
* * * Since Mr. Young assumed the duties of
the position he now holds on the New York Tri
bune he has repeatedly assured me. np to the
time when the troubles commenced on one of tho
daily newspapers in this city, in August lust, that
I wonld be the pnblishor of the Tribune. He said
that Mr. Sinclair was an old fogy, like Mr.
BrowD, lhe manager of the Press in this city, and
that tbe stockholders wonld soon make a change.
In fact, the last time he visited me at my present
residence, shortly before the Morning Post moved
into its new bnilding at Seventh and Jayne
streets, he stated, while silting at the breakfast
table, “that everything was working nicely, and
that inside of six months I should be publisher
of the New York Tribune , and keep myself in
readiness to leave Philadelphia at short notice.
"* * * * Chas. McOlintock.”
Thereby meaning that deponent had promised
to Chas. McCUntock the office of publisher of the
Tribune, which allegation is wlthont the least
foundation in truth, and is false and scandalous;
and deponent farther states that he is desirous of
vindicating his good name, fame, credit, and
character among his said neighbors, associates,
employers and other good and worthy citizens,
and for that purpose prays that an order of ar
rest may issue against the said defendants and
each ol them. Jno. Rdsskll, Youno.

The Death of Colonel Robert Johnson*
bon of the Ex*Prcaident*
(From the Nashville (Tenn) Banner, April 213
Ex-President Andrew Johnbon passed through.
tbiß city yesterday afternoon on his way for
Greenville. He was to hare spoken at Pulaski
yesterday, but at Athene, Ala., received a de
spatch from his daughter at Greenville, an*
nouncing the death, at that place, of his sou
Robert, and he was hurrying on to be present at
the funeral.
He left Huntsville yesterday morning at 6.30
o’clock; arrived at Decatur at 8.30. At this point
the Ex-President and party were provided with a
special train, subject to Mr. Johnson’s order,
and to stop whenever he required. At Athens
the train arrived at 10.30. There was assembled
a large crowd, who cheered and called for Mr.
Johnson. As he approached the door of the car,
accompanied by Col. John Williams and Mr.
Redfleld, of the Cincinnati Commercial, a des
patch was handed to him bv a messenger from the
telegraph office. Not having his spectacles with
him, Mr. Johnson handed the despatch to Colo
nel Williams, and asked him to read It, which he
did as foUows :
Greenville, April 23,1869.— Andrew Johnson,
Nashville. Brother Robert died snddenly last
night. He will be buried to-morrow.
Mbs. D. Pattersos.
At this shocking intelligence Mr. Johnson’s
features, always pale, became visibly paler. He
shaded his eyes a moment with his hand—the
crowd outside still cheering. He stepped on to
the platform, and in a few simple words explained
to his friends the recent affliction which had over
taken his family, excusing himself from address
ing them. At Columbia, Pulaski and Franklin,
where large crowds were assembled, he came out
from the car and shook hands with friends and
acquaintances who came up to offer their condo
lences. When the train reached this city, Mr.
Johnson and Colonel Williams came down to the
city from the Decatur depot on the Collogo street
cars, and took a carriage for the Chattanooga
Depot, and left on the 6 P. M. train for Chatta
nooga.
It wa6 our pleasure to know the deceased.in
timately In former years, daring his temporary
residence here as a Representative of the Legisla
tnre. and especially during the stormy porioalm-'
mediately preceding hostilities between the sec
tions. Colonel Johnson, like his illustrious
father, was a consistent, fearless and uncompro
mising Southern Unionist from first to last, and
one of ihe last speeches in behalf ot the “Union,
toe Constitntion and the laws,” made in this
city before the ordinance of secession, was de
livered by him in the Coort-honse, and reported
in this paper. He whs a young man of fine
abilities. He had his faults and weaknesses, like
other men, bnt he was ever generous and chlval
mne, a true friend, an affectionate brother and
eon.
Ladies’ Day.
ll is to be hoped that the ladies will appro
priate the day (Saturday) of this week which Mr.
John Wannmaker has set apart for their special
use in inspecting his new and extensive stock of
boys’ clothing. Everybody concedes that in the
other departments of his new establishment he
ha 6 worked wonders in advancing stylo and
slardard of clothing, and doubtless just as groat
an advance has been made by him in this de
partment, which most needs improving. It is a
fact that many indies have been compelled to buy
tbeir boys’ clothing in New York, because they
could not find here the stylo and general charac
ter of clothing thev desired their sons to wear.
They will see that" the day for that is past if
they will examine the new stock of Mr. Wana
muker.
