REPORTERS AT THE ToMBs.-The Tribune of Sa
turday last referred to what it terms an association
OF the reporters at the Tombs, for the purpose o,
levylng black mail and ''hush money" We have
every reason to believe that the charge is not with
out foundation. The difficulty is to break up the
system. Both police and reporters have regularly
organised system of financial operation. We have
heard of one individual, connected for long time
with the papers as police reporter, who has man
aged to realise out of a few dollars week, very
handsome property. Some time ago, no less thar
$500 were paid in a single case, in which western
judge was concerned, for hush money. This infa-
nous system must be broken up. We are ready to
do anything in our power to put end to the sys-
tern. We pay our reporters well, and never can
tolerate in any instance, their making dishonora-
bic use of their po sition on this journal
