| JAMES GORDON BENNETT ESQ.,


The Ne,o York .Je6ersonian, formerly the WaA
Street Reporter, continues to lavish abuse upon Co
vernon Van Ness. The cause, | stated in former
communication, was the neglect, on the part of Mr.
Van Ness, to appoint the editors son to office. Mr.
Charles denied this and said he never made appica
ton to the Collector at all. As he chooses however
to continue his attacks, must take the trouble to
substantiate the assertion | made, which do, pre-
senting literal copy of letter written by him,
within few days after Mr.. Van Ness had entered
on the duties OF his Office. IT is as folows:-
Hon Z. P. VAN NEss.-

dence that he will state that this favor would meet the

Office Of the Wall street Reporter

July l3 1874


Such the letter of application-the refusal to
grant the office, the cause OF enmity. Mr. Charles
declared to several persons-to two respectable gen.
tlemen of this city, to my knowedge-that he would
attack the Governor this account. In the face OF
all this, he has had the mpudence to deny the
| of his abuse-nay, more to deny having made ap-
| pllcatlon, at all. | am truly, Nc,
A Polk DEMOCRAT.
Mr.. BENNETT -


You notice in yesterdays paper, the fact of St
Georges Hotel and Park Place House selling out,
and seem to wonder why these great taverns don't
succeed. ], sir, am bachelor, and formerly de-
the best in the world. But, sir, within five six
years, gang of rough, reckless s'black legs and
gamblers, driven away by the energy OF the police
OF the Southern cities, have "located" here. These
fellows dress well, and cucumber our best hotels.
Gentlemen will not remain in contact with these
