VOLUME IX.-NUMBER 1995. CHARLESTON, MONDAY MORNING, JUNK 3, 1872. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. A GREAT JO?RNALIST GONE. DEATH OF JAMES GORDON BENNETT, OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. A Wonderful Career-The Napoleon of j toe Modern Press. James Gordon Bennett, the editor and pro? prietor ol the New York Herald, whose mortal illness has already been announced in THE NEWS, died at his residence, near New York, last Saturday afternoon, A sketch of tbe career of this wonderful man will Interest every reader. His parents were French Catholics, who lived in Scotland, where, about the year 1800, he was born. He was educated for the priest? hood at the Roman Catholic Seminary or j Aberdeen, but afterwards, changing his mind, emigrated to America, where he landed at Boston In 1819. Three years later he came to Charleston to work for the Courier as the translator of South American revolutionary newr In 1834 we find him in New York wanting to teach schools, but getting no pupils. Whereupon he began to lecture In the irnltoa street Dutch Cn uren on political economy, but soon found that he* must earn hlB bread by hack-writing for the newspapers. He acted for a year or two as Washington cor? respondent of the New York Enquirer, and lt j was in this position that his wrlliig first at- [ tracted attention. In New York, In 1833, tbe Sun, a one cent paper, had appeared, to be followed, in 1834, by another one cent paper, the Transcript, both ot them scholarly, plodding Journals. Bennett, with the aid or two yoong printers, on the 6th of Hay, 1835, published the first number ot the third one cent paper, the New York Herald. He waa thirty-five years old; he had five hundred dollars; his office was a cellar in Wall street; his desk, counter and folding board were a plank resting on two emp ty barrels. Bennett wrote bis own wrappers (if | he bad any to write,) notes, news, leaders, and even advertisements, on a board. He was his own agent and errand boy, and he took what little there was of cash. -He originated in j America the money report. He reported everything minutely. When he was burned out and robbed he began again in another cel? lar. He concentrated bis abilities on always giving the best report of the largest affair, in good type and on good paper. '-What Inter, eats everybody" was his motto. Of the history of the Herald from 1835 until now we have little materials. It hos grown Into a circulation ol eighty or ninety thousand copies a day. It bas at times reached twice that number. Its reports of prize fights and horse races gained for it a large constituency. Everything was minutely described, with a de tall-of trifles that was sure to entertain the undercurrent of society, which loves trifles. Jenkins is a valuable addition to a paper that serves a people who love to go to operas, camp-meetings and dog-fights. To this sort of people Bennett tT many years displayed a journal which gave a great deal of minute, light and cheerful news. His | style of writing was that of a French comedy In which all the characters speak as ir they were perpetually shrugging their shoulders. Nobody could so easily manage a squad of re? porters as Bennett could. Before the Mexican war, the Herald had a correspondent in Texas, and six in Europe. AU Bennett's trips, of ten miles or ten thousand miles, resulted in his securing correspondents and bookfuls of sta? tistics. Meanwhile he was writing such words as these: . 'Journalism is a new science."' He was trying to give the greatest number of little facts about the news that everybody reads, and he paid a news correspondent who had wanted to write book notices as much for I not writing them. Wben everybody except | the pabilo functionaries was Interested In the Grand Duke, tbe Herald followed bim up and told-bow be held ills pistol when he shot a buffalo calf. Some editors called that foolish ness; but lt served even more purposes than that ot gossiping about the one man who was uppermost in the curiosity of the people;lt convinced the army officers of the Herald's en? terprise; lt convinced the Grand Duke that there must be great papers In America; and the Russian nobles, diplomats and newspaper edi? tors will always bear in mind that what they wanted to read was In the Herald, and they will, therefore ascribe to lt Immense Influence. In a time o? extraordinary friendship or of ex- j traordlnary complications between Russia | and America, the Herald will be powerful with the American Government and people, be? cause lt will be considered influential at St Petersburg. So Us glittering cavalcade march? ing into Africa, with gaudily-apparelled camels, with drums and with banners decked in reds and yellows, trying to discover, at a cost of | ten thousand dollars, a lost Englishman whom the world knows by heart, ls an enter? prise-not strictly Journalistic, according to the old conservatism-that will make the Herald talked off I if England and in the East, and.reflexly in America. Of course Mr. Bennett amassed a collossal fortune. Five years ago, he retired from the active management of the Herald, his son taking his place. But until a week ago, when his fatal illness began, he continued to take an extraordinary Interest In the events of- the day. On Tr.asday last, feeling his end to be near, he sent for Archbishop McCloskey, who admin? istered to him the last sacraments ol his church, and the telegraph tells us that, when his last hour arrived, the Napoleon of the press sank calmly and peacefully to his rest. > -. ., - ? . THE TREATY FAILURE. Helpless Condition of the Administra tlon-All oar Claims Dishonored-A New Argument for av Change of Ad? ministration. [Correspondence of the New York Tribune.] WASHINGTON, May TO. The conviction is almost universal In Wash? ington to-night that the treaty has tailed, and, though correspondence on tbe subject ls not yet closed, it is continued with little hope that any understanding can be arrived at. The ad? ministration is to-day In a more nelpless con? dition as regards the treaty than at any pre vious time, the action of the Senate having tied lt bands, and prevented lt (rom entertain? ing any new propositions from the British Cabinet. Before the matter was sent lo the Senate, if one plan of settlement did not suc? ceed another could bave been tried, but now the United States has bound itself to the form ot a treaty agreed to by the Senate just as firmly as though the vote of Saturday evening had been on-the question of ratification. The form we have submitted does not suit Gran? ville. He will not accept lt. we cannot modliy it, and, therefore, negotiations with any hope of success are believed lo be at an end. The nation stands dishonored before the world. We are In the position of a government hav? ing made demands which lt was unable to sus? tain and which lt was obllzed to withdraw at tbe dictation ol Great Britain. Having so far humiliated itself, ic now bas heaped upon lt the additional indignity of seeing Us surrender re? jected by England, and Its humiliation come io oaiight. SCOTT'S LITTLE GAME.

Partisans. if Senators Sumner and Schurz threw well charged bombshells right Into the Grant cam on Friday, and they exploded with terrible effect. It bas been the intention of the ad ministration senators all along lo prevent, posslcle, any debate on tbe report of the In vestigatlon of the sale of arms to the French Government during the French-German war, The majority of the committee had made up what Mr. Sumner appropriately termed the! "whitewashing report." They had cast the mest serious imputations ou the character of the senators at whose instance the investiga HOD took place, and proposed that their re port should go forth as a campaign document without a reply from the other side. But Mr. Sumner and. Mr. Schurz were determined to be heard. The majority of the Senate having refused to set apart an evening for the discus sion of the committee's report, Mr. Sumner availed himself of a parliamentary privilege, and moved to postpone indefinitely ihe pend' ing appropriation bill, and upon that motion made bis great speech. The correspondent of the Baltimore San writes: The political sensation at the Capitol to-day has been ao unexpected and yet most elaoo rate speech from Mr. Sumner lu arraignment of President Grant and his administration, He got the floor In the Senate by a parliamen tary manouvre, which quite surprised ihe ad? ministration senatorp, and held lt for four hours in an exhaustive and careiui/y prepared speech, which Boon attracted weli-fllled gal? leries and crowded the Senate floor with eager privileged listeners. In the last hour iie?riv ad nf the members of the House were preterit. It ls declared by the older senators that there has never been a speech In Con gres*, even when the warfare was made on andrew Johnson, that equalled this for an In dictaient of the personal as well ai the politi? cal record of a President. Not one single private or public act of President Grant's civil Hie appeared lo have escaped the senator's notice, for he held lt up lo view In a broad glare ol invective and censure, and added to the matter of the speech an earnest and vigo rous force ol delivery. He arraigned him as a gilt-taker, a nepotist, anda failure;declared mat he spent hts lime with fast horses. In pal? ace cars and loitering at the sea side. The public acia of hin administration were as fear? fully assarted. He maintained that his gov? ernment was a personal one; that lt command? ed no respect at home or abroad; that lt had done nothing to commend it lo the country; that Its reduction of the public debt did not deserve as much credit as that of Andrew Johnson; that lt was false to the colored peo? ple, and a failure so far as It had anything to do with reconstruction; while Its foreign poll cy, of which lt bad attempted to boast, was the most disgraceful muddle of the age. This merely indicates the general tenor of his re? marks. The friends of the President on the floor, who were even characterized among other "rings" as the "senatorial ring," gave the speech close attention, ns ls nut their wont usually when Mr. Sumcer speaks, and took notes for a reply. When be bad concluded, Mr. Schurz obtain? ed the floor, but lt was now late, and the Mis? souri senator did not wish to proceed without rent and refreshment. Mr. Sumner, Mr. Trumbull, Mr. Bayard, and other gentlemen appealed for a reCrBS or an adjournment; but ihe administration senators, under the lead of Morion and Conkllog, would not at first ac? cord this courtesy, which had never before been refused. After much effort, however, the Senate, nt slr o'clock, agreed to a recess ' until eight o'clock. Al the latter hour, the galleries were again crowded to their utmost capacity, and even the pvsages and doorways were thronged with anxious spectators. Mr. Schurz mane a two hours' speech, lull of foreo and power, and gave tbe finishing touches to the blows which Mr. Sumner so effectively dealt Ihe ad? ministration In the afternoon. A telegram received yesterday announces that In consequence of these speeches Con? gress has decided to postpone adjournment until Monday next, June 10. The New York Press on Sumner's Speech. NEW YORK, June 1. The Times says Sumner's speech is a collec? tion of slander against the President, with lit? erary, antiquarian and scholastic embellish? ments. Tne Tribune considers Sumner's speech one of the greatest he ever delivered. The World says Sumner's indictment of Grant recites nothing which the Democratic press has not reiterated for months; but com? ing Irom a man whose biography Is the history of the Republican party, lt will carry convic? tion where the Democratic voice would pass as the wind. The Bun styles Sumner the American Caesar, and calls the" speech mag ni flee nr. The Herald says the speech ls a*savage arraignment of the President, and the bitter? ness, wnich evidently ls provoked by a sense of personal provocation, will weaken Its force. It contains nothing new, except the statement of Stanton, that Grant could not govern the country. _ THE WEATHER THIS DAT. WASHINGTON, June 2.

It cannot help thinking that ir the official telegrams on the subject had been communicated directly to the foreign minister of either government, instead ofbelng filtered through a medium, the chasm which separated them would have been recognized long ago. ..With the correspondence bet?re us," con? cludes the Times, "we must consider the fall-1 ure of arbllratlonjlnevltable.

The House needed a thorough understanding of the present position of the negotiations. Earl Granville remarked that the American Congress would adjourn on Monday, and the negotiations had uot yet been brought to a close; hence it would be Impossible for the government to comply with the demands of the noble Lord. Earl Grey wished to know whether the government would proceed wlih the arbitration lt the Indirect claims should not be withdrawn. The country, he S?d, re? garded the situation with great alarm. Earl Granville declined to answer this question. He Indignantly denied that the government j had involved the country in trouble. Lord Calms said that the government was straining a prlnelpie in retuslng to submit the docu? ments.

At a regular monthly meeting of the Charles? ton Typographical society, held on the evening of the 1st Jane, 1872, Mr. James II. Murrell offered the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : The unwelcome though not unexpected an? nouncement made kt our last meeting, that James ti. OMley hod, that doy, been called from time to Eternity, oiled the heart ot every member or thia socictywlth a sorrow, perlmpp, more poignant than the loss by death or al most any other mem? ber or lt would have occasioned. For several rears he had been a silent suirercr. and during that time had always evinced that submissive ac? quiescence in the stroke under which he writhed and waa being consumed, which at once stamped bim the Chilstlan, who, knowing his armor to be bright, was but calmly awaiting the summons that would release h m from the cares and Buller? inga, thc anxii-tica and sorrows to which his cup ?r ills, thuf> far lu his pilgrimage here, had never perhaps at any time been entirely tree So calmly Indeed did he pr?paie to meet and obey without a mutier of discontent that summons when lt wonld Anally come, that he had even arranged the details or hl9 own buil .1, in many particulars, with that precision and nicety which, doubtless, lie would have observed bad he only been prepar? ing to engage in a pleasant journey abroad. Though servi np his apprenticeship ns a printer in an Interior town of thia Slate, Mr. tr Riley bad lved the greater part ot his useful Ure la Charles? ton, and by hU marited Intelligence, ti s modest ind unobtrusive deraeaoor.his unostentatious dis. position, and the guileless purity of his character sad BO completely commended himself to the re? spect and esteem of his fellow-craftsmen, and of the vir tuons and good in oar commnolty, that he had become a general favorite. He had served this society several successive terms, as l s pres? ident, ana-while In that office exhibited traits of administrative ability which not only provoked appreciation bot characterized his reign over ns as one also eminently wsrtby of being considered j a standard to which hts successors la that office might, ander any circumstances, safely aim to j attain. . Whether In pabilo or in private life, at the case \ or at the hearth circle, as a companion orasi friend-Indeed, esteem him la any light we may- J no man certainly ever wa, ked more conscient lord? ly in what he conceived to be the paths of strict | rectitude and morality than did James B. O' Riley. In view, therefore, of the dispensation which has now spread as lt were the black mantle of I death npnn ns, be it Resolved, That me Typographical Society of-l Cha leaton esteem their loss, ia the death or ex president James B. O'Rlley, ooo that cannot well | be supplied.
