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. Reported thefMfLr J’ssst, Georgia fcegislatttri. Mti.i.EDrtivtii.t«, 'Kdfcem&erfifl, $866.

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. A.
