Ho* the following concerning Ur. D. H. |
Craig, ike late! General of the
New YorkAssooUted ITpn:jyr
Tbr Yo*a Amoi utki) rßcafl —
Thk Kartkafi' ns h« Uaxmikmckt.—
Seventeen roar* ago there wa* no such
organisation in existence aa the New 1
York Awociited Presr, and the papers
orihia Hfy dripentfed eaen upon H* own
enterprise' and liberality in obtaining
early and important nawa. At that
time, aa many of our present readers
Sill remember, the Herald held toe
itne advanced position it now holds in
the rivalry of the preas, and was accus
tomed to beat aU the' old fogy journals
out of tight, day after day, in laying
news before the public. The Herald
then bad its own steamer plying to-in
tercept the foreign steamships, and its
own special correspondents scattered all
over the country,' forwarding intelli
gence to New York aa speedily aa the
weave of communication would allow.
The’oThet journals strove to compete
with the Herald for the foreign news,
and at last an association was formed
for the collection of ship news alone, to
be used th common by the members, so;
os to si to. the latgo outlay occasioned
by rivalry and competition. After a
short time, the association was extended
to cover telegraphic and general news
from every portion oF-thaucountry, and,
by means all intelligence of interest
was concentrated tii New York. The
papers of other cities,, seeing the great
aavaatageofthe association, soon applied
for permission to use its news, and wore
allowed to ,do go on very liberal terms,
the cost to litem bearing no comparison
to the expense to the association. The
cbntrfrt Of* thd'business of ‘the'ifssocia
pym was placed in- |tbe hands of an ex
'ccutive committee, chosen' from its
members, and an agent was appointed,
at a weekly salary, whose duly it was to
receive and make-manifold copies of all
telegraphic,,communications, and tq
transmit duett cojtieS to the newspaper
to receive them. The
agent was also required to attend to the
payment of the accounts and to perform
siich other duties us the executive com
mittee might direct.
A per sou named D. Tl. Craig, a prac
ticnl (ft intey front Nova Scotia, who was
supposed to be familiar with newspaper >
matters, was appointed to the position of
agent, and for a time filled it acceptably,
and was regarded by the executive com
mittee as a faithful man, willing to earn
his weekly salary by the diligent dis
charge of bis duties. But after having
been for some years in the service of the
. Astttciutioi), and made himself familiar
with the business, he mistook or abused
his position, and arrogated to himselt
powers and duties which belonged to the
. executive compiittee. For a long title
the Association overlooked this conduct,
and continued to employ Craig as their
agent; but baying at last occasion to
believe that improper use was' made of
their news ior trading and speculative
purposes, they dismissed him from their
u service. After, a brief period, thinking
his removal might have taught him pru
. dense, the Association restored him to
office. Their indulgence was, unfortu
nately, misplaced. The business was
conducted more satisfactorily for a time,
but it was soon round that Craij' was at
his old tricks. He had ‘ endeavored to
impress, the country press and agents
with the idea that he was the autocrat of
the Association, and possessed of all
authority and power, instead of living
only a business agent hired by the Asso
ciation for certain specified duties. It
again became evident that lie had abused
his position -iu several ways, and that the
business of the Association was being
very badly managed. When the Atlan
tic cable ws* laid, no • arrangements
were made for obtaining the foreign
news. For some weeks the papers were
without any cable reports, and would
. ptofudjly be without them to-day had
not the Herald obtained special dis
patches at an enormous outlay, and thus
compelled the Association to act in the
matter.
There were other r« asons for com
plaint against the agent, and the news
paper readers, as well as the proprietors,
had good cause to demand a change.
The association therefore held a meet
ing the day before yesterday, and re
moved Craig and appointed anew
agent. No other changes have been
made, and all,the persons employed as
local agents In other places will continue
to discharge their duties and will send
their reports to the present agent, Mr.
Sunonton. We hope tiat under the
tie w arrangements the business will be
dqne better, that there will be no
■ '/ur|hey cuitSe pf-Qomplaint on the phrt
of the association or of those who get
the news through that organization. For
some time past it has been impossible
to t£uat‘the r*[forU» of the Associated
l’rg&fr, iftd *if a paper has desired correct
reports it has been compelled to senid
special reporters everywhere, thus du
plicating Its expense*. Now that Craig
has been removed we trust this will be,
tbqroughly Reformed.
Tut: AssochWtu Fiiess. —At a meet
ingAclil pu ' Monday alterflooir. ,\Jr. D.
ft.'Craig, who has been for the last sis.
teen years their general agent iu this
city, was repitried, and Jas. W. Wjhon.
ton appointed in his place, ffotiees of
this actionj dhly* certified by the Presi
dent, and bey-rotary, were immediately
sent by telegraph to all the correspond
ents and agents of the Association in
different parts of the country.
It is not necessary, at present, to speak
of the causes which have led to this ac
tion on the part of the Association.
Tito fact that Mr. Craig :imnrediaieiy
telegraphed a peremptory contradiction
of this announcement and claimed to be
still the agent oi live Association, while
acknowledging that he had been tor
several vynyks engaged jn an attempt to
convert flic iigencied and facilities of the
Association to hta own personal uselaml
profit, saves us the necessity of any fur
ther explanation* at the. present moment.
Wg, shall undoubtedly, huye qpcaaion,
ncrealterdo enter info mote full and ex
plicit' details oti tl*i subject.," i -I
MeanliSne it 'should be: .understood
throughout the country, by agents of the
Association, and by all newspapers who
are connected with it, that Mr. Craig has
i,O longer any right or authority to apt
Du its iHihalt, nor any means of using its
facilities for tlie Collection of news, for
eign or domestic, Mr. James W. Simon
tou being the only authorized agent of
tie Association. ~N. Y. Timet.

The National Express Company.
Tbe affairs of this Company seem to
engross a considerable share of ' public
attention in the South. The reason is
perhaps, this: its professed object was
to benefit the soldiers of both sections o*
the Union, by giving to those of the
South employment in the Southland
those of the North, employment iu* the
North. The idea was a praiseworthy
and feasible one, but appears, for some
reason or other, to have been abandoned;
and, after injunctions, conventions, etc.,
the institution is now in a state of tag
pension, and will, rqoat probably bt
closed up. Os coarse this result is ur
pleasant to the friends of the enterprise
who have doubtless done all that wa -
required of them to sustain it; and this
Tact be the only consolation left t>»
-them, if ‘ the charges Contained in th
subjoined communication are sustained
A writer in the CoKstitutiamliet, o
N6v. 9th7 bver the signature of “A
Stockholder,” says as follows:
To .the Directors or the National
ExrRKSS Company. Etc.—permit m.'
through the columns of your paper, ti
say a tew words aud ask a few'question
respecting the National Express Com
puny. The report of the committee i
spread out for the inspection and exam
inatiou of the stockholders, I will brief!
criticise it: ’ . ,
It appears that there bos been paid
iq...* $534,748,00
And baa been expended fur wagons,
horses, ct 0..,, 235, 120.8'
This would leave s balance of ...$299,627,1
An honest administration of the fund.-
of tbe company at lfeast would show tha
such was tbe balance. How; stands the
acaount as exhibited. Instead of bal
ance of $299,627 19 on hand, the cun ,
pany have property —*
amounting to $235,120 3
For which they owe 273;00O, C
Making a balance ever amount
of property $ 37,81)9 17
or, in plain words, they owe $3“ 879 114
more than they have bills of purchase
to show. That is, they have made way
with the whole amount of the cnpital
paid in of $534,748 00, and owe be
sides,'s37 879 19, in all, $572,627.19,
for which they have uothing to show,
and don’t pretend to account for. Now,
the quesliou is, what has been done with
this money? We want air answer, and
if it is not given, those into whose hands
it has been paid, and who had it in cus
tody must stand a{ the, ot, public
opinion, as enormous wrong doers; and
the jury.of the public, .it is possible,
will return a verdict of ** guilty of fraud
and swindling.”
The money is acknowledged to havo
been received, aud those who have had
it. must account for it iu a more satis
factory manner than merely stating it
as a “ loss !” without explanation.
'Gentleman Treasure*, we ask syou
what have you done with this money?
H«nV have you disposed of it? ‘The
stockholders desire .to know! Such a
sum is. not to be in the bprry
,pf your accounts. Recollect it is more
than half a million I tell us where it is
and what has been tlond with it? 1 It has
not evaporated, nor flown away, nor
sunk in the ground hidden
tl;ere). It was tangible when received
by you—where is it now ? Tell us
something about it, that we can under
stand. Don’t close your accounts by
merely saying, “loss $572,629 19.” It
balances the account very well for you,
but it don’t suit us. We want to know
more than the plain fact, of its loss.
How was Jt lost? that’s the question
Make a clean breast of it, gentlemen,
and.tell us how?
But this is not the worst of the “Re
port.” We have not ouly lost all we ■
have paid in, but .mqre. It seems not
a dollar of the amount pdid iu wu* ex
pended for “wagon*, horses, harness,
books, stationery, safes, aud
tures ;’’ all these things were purchased
oa credit, and nre.. kill owing for ; not
oniy that, bitt-the'dents ot tlm“National
Express Company” are ,cv.en greater
than the. bills' of these ticres.sarics for
work. Account tor this if you pleise
and when you have done that—ti-Tl' us
whikt have you done with the “earnings”
of"lhe Company ? You did not surely
work for nothing; apd it you did not,
let us how much wa* “earned,” 1
and what have you done with itYi We
wait jout tejply. '• _ ’ ”’ 1 j
A word' as to ike resolution of the
Reporting Committee. 1 They number
/ilfi to thirteen regular, and two irregu-'
lur ones,, A£ pqeseiit we irill only no
tice No'.'S, which instructs the Presi
dent and Directors to make “a further
requisition-of ten per. oeot., .and to en
force payment by the promptness and
surest process of the law.”
The time is not come to argue this
quesliou—but you strangely forget your
oww expos 6of the condition. the
company. You (dace it plainly beloe*
ns that tbe company is insoloud, bank
rupt t glead-brot+f- and you call »pon m
( who have already Thfe'Slrongest evidence
of being swindled ont of $572,629 19
of which not air item of loss ie
shown—to which ad<j the large amount*
earned, as was boasted few month*
since, not a dollar of. which is named
or accounted tbe) to , make further pay
ments into your bands of $507,295 00
or threaten “the surest arufpromptest
process of the law" for delinquency.
Wash ypur bands cleaß of the Apt ty?
million, which has disappeared so
strangely; before yon ask for tbe se
cond half million to go the same road
—and when have done that and waited
until you are satisfied that you can get
it—then try vour “ sure and prompt
process fori aeliuqoents,” "or take that
step, all insolvent and bankrupt insti
tutions are compelled, to, by law, and go
into liquidation. I was going to say
take the benefit of the honest debtors
act—but lam afraid the qase is pist
that'; there is no provision in tke V act
which- woetd fairly meet your condition.
