Journalism.
The Now York Bound Table i? a
respectable and well conducted'weehly
journal, principally devoted to litera?
ture and criticism. We have not re
coivod it for s?rno time past among
our exchanges, but we occasionally
rend oxtrncts from it on various topics,
whioh aro well worthy of attention.
-Ono of its recent articles is upon -the
"Standard.of Journalism," and has
somo exccll?nt points in it.des?irving
of noto, and whioh, if heeded, would
exercise a happy and wholesome in* <
fluanco upon the press of the coun?
try; and especially 'aro such sugges?
tions as it makes appli?ablo to tho
journals in tho metropolitan.cities of
the North.. . ' '
Ono point that it makes-and with
which wo agree-is that, in the runic,
tho esteem in which editors aro held,
depends upon themselves, and not
upon people, howover eminent, who
aro extorior to the profession. The
editorial calling is second io no other
practiced in this country in impor
' tance and dignity, and a respectable
editor is surely, any day, tho superior
of a trading politician. And we fully
agree with the Bound Table, when
tho press will nt once and in combi?
nation awaken to a just sense of tho
elevation, the influence and respon?
sibility of their functions; when they
cease to truckle to politicians, how
m ever influential, and make these men
feel they cannot control tho press in
tho interest of corruption; when they
. resolutely determino to speak truth
without fear or favor about tho ex?
isting abuses of our system, whether
in common council, State Assemblies
or a National Legislature, then, and
not till then, will the profession of
tho journalist rise to its true level,
and command tho respect to which it
is intrinsically entitled.
All this is very truo, and vory just?
ly describes what the press in n free
country ought to bo. But tho sage
and competent critic of the Round
Table should remember that tho glow?
ing descriptions of that happy time
yet to come-the millenium-repre?
sent tho condition of society just
what it ought to be; but, until thai
time does como, wo may expect tc
seo fallible, if not corrupt, journal?
ists, as well as corrupt' politicians,
and wo do not expect journalism, in
this or any other country, to reach
perfection until that glorious oin
breaks upon us. Nevertheless, there
can bo a closer approximation to "thc
standard" laid down by our cotcm
porary. There is too much truckling
to, not only politicians, but to manj
others who are presumed to occupj
positions of influence. There is toe
much timidity-too great a fear of i
loss of "patronage" (an abominable
word, when applied to a public jour
nal)-constantly hanging around, like
an incubus, in a newspaper office. I
a journalist is printer to a commoi
council, ho too frequently imagine;
that, in order to retain tho positioi
and its emoluments, he must over
look all short-comings, or even mis
doings, of tho members or tliei
officials. If he is printer to a Logis
lature, ho must not only close hi
eyes to all log-rolling aud nice littl
Uarguins for jobs under legislativi
enactments, but he must forbea
even to criticise too severely thei
public acts, bo they ever so unwise
or tho voto which mado him Stat
printer to-day may turn him out to
morrow. From a long conncctioi
with journalism, and its atiendan
duties and responsibilities, we knot
this lo bc a fact.
Of course, under theso circuni
stances, and so long as thc field o
journalism is so sterile in its peen
niary returns, in a legitimate way
true independence in its lnanngcmen
is a myth that wc will look in vain t
discover. But the worst corruptio:
that is to bo found iu tho professio
of journalism is not among the com
paratively obscure or needy member
or representatives of that profession
but in journals of extended circuh
tiou, ami, consequently, of large
influence. Metropolitan journals, t
journals published at Stato capital:
to which a party can pay thousant
, of dollars for tho uso of its column,
to ndvnuco party measures, or t
whitewash party rascality; and 1
which contractors and shoddy jol
hunters freely offer a sharo in ti
spoils to tho journalist for the aid <
his "valuable paper" in getting the
" nefarious schemes legalized. * This is
what prostitutes the press, and in no
other country in, the world is the sys>~
tem carried to such an unblushing
extent,, ?han itf this boasted Und of
literary attainments and civilisation:
But Tfo think we seo "glimmerings
of tho dawn," and that, too, within
tho pastoral circuit in which the
Round Table moro particularly labors.
Wo noticed, in one of tho New York
dailies, tho other day, that tho cor?
ruption and charges of corruption in
the State Legislature appeared to
excite everybody but tho members of
tho Legislature themselves. ' It Was
stated by the journal alluded to, that
oven.tho Union Leaguo and other
Republican organizations had taken
up tho matter, and denounced, with
deserved severity, tho body which
tolerates such a state of things as now
exist in the New York -Tjagislatiire.
Tho inevitable and Reverend Henry
Ward Beecher, on Sunday before
last, in tho city of Now York, brought
tho subject into his sermon, and
referred to tho "corruptions of poli?
tics-tho flagrant venality of legisla?
tion"-as ono of thc perilous evils of
tho times. He said:
"Tho mon at Washington and Al?
bany sold their country; they sold
their humanity and their honor, and
tho trusts that wore put upon them
by their constituents. They wero
dobauchers of tho young; they wero
the traitors; they that-lifted the
sword were not half so much traitors;
they that despoiled tho old banner
and trod it under foot; they that fired
upon tho Government of the United
States wero not so much traitors as
were . thoso vermin who wero crawl?
ing under tho foundations and de?
stroying by corruption the vital
power of tho Government."
? On which paragraph, tho New York
Times comments, and says that, in
course of time, tho members of thc
Legislature "will find that their'cor
nipt]'T ^on'.ot be condoned by de
nunciations of the wretched people
of tho South or by noisy profession;
of loyalty."
Did not we say that wo perceivec
"glimmerings of tho dawn," pro
ciscly whore tho day-spring of reforn
is most needed and should first ap
pear? When wo seo them there, w<
have hopo for tho balance of th?
country. Let our social brother o
the "Round Table" keep the editoria
lash always in trim, and tho reveronc
J Henry forbear not his denunciations
to tho fashionable and shoddy-ricl
occupants of his cushioned pews
and all will como right. It is mee
that the press and tho pulpit shouh
bo co-laborers in purging the land o
corruption and its ministers ant
tools, and if our feeble voice cai
reach them aud cheer them, we bil
them "God-speed."
ARKANSAS AND THE INJCNCTIO:
CASES.-Gov. Murphy, of Arkansas
has telegraphed to Senator elect Gai
land, ordering him not to file a peti
Hon for nu injunction against tho en
forcement of tho reconstruction bi]

Senator Garland has according"
abandoned his intention to bring th

Sharkey in behalf of the "Mississipr
petition.
We think the Governor has acte

a decision. Besides, tho causes wi
not bo heard until next Decembe:
by which timo thc work of recoi

Herald removed its immense estab?
lishment to its new locatian, on the
corne? of Ann street and Broad way?
on Saturday. From its. editorial on
tho subject, in its Sunday issue, we
extract the following paragraph:
"Tho chango from the old Herald
buildings, which wo UavO occupied
for the last twenty-four years, to the
new, was effected last night, quietly,
safely nnd without accident or mis?
hap. In former years, when we
moved our oflioo of publication, wo
wcro compelled to suspend ferr a day
or more, in order to get settled in,our
now quarters. Now our resources aro
such that wo have transferred from
ono building to another our whole
immense establish men t i a a few hours,
and without delaying by a single
niiuuto tho regular issue of our paper.
But for tho deserted nppearaneo of
tho old corner, and tho lifo and acti?
vity about the new building, no ono
would know that the Herald, with its
vost business, diversified interests,
powerful mrtfchinery and army of em?
ployees, had mado in a singlo night a
change in its place of publication."
