NEW YORK DAILIES.

MORNING

Sale of The Pre«* Dana ami The San flow Held Secured the Control of The Tribune—Mutations of The Times—Turner anti The Recorder.

[ Special Correspondence. ] New York, Feb. 21.—The recent sale of The Press of this city to Henry L. Einstein, a rich manufacturer, at a prico variously estimated at from $;)00,000 to $500,000, renews public interest in the (treat New York daily newspapers and their owners. The Press was started some ten years n«o, with James Phillips as the principal owner ami Robert P. Porter as editor. The new editor is Congressman Lemuel E. (juigg, a young man of decided journalistic talents. The Sun and The Herald. The Sun is the oldest of the morning papers, having been established as a 1 cent (commonly called a penny) paper by Benjamin H. Day, a practical printer, in September, 1823. It passed through diverse changes, having for many years been owned by Moses \ r . Beach, who was generally regarded as its founder. In 1808 Charles A. Dana, who had been credited for two years with trying to sot up a new daily here, bought The Sun. He had had a good deal of trouble in raising the money for the enterprise and was liberally aided by Thomas Hitchcock, a fellow Swedenborgiau; the late Marshall O. Roberts and others. At the omset ho had intended to start an entirely now paper, but learning that The Sun was for sale he purchased it, believing this to bo his best course. Ho bus stamped it with his own individuality and is now its principal owner and controller, having grad-

true. it is no rcticction on Kent, ami the presentation was very generous ou his wife’s part. Money never could have done him so much good. It gave him his emancipation. The Tribune is row owned by the Reid and Mills family, with a few scattering stockholders. Mirations of Tlu* Times. The Times’ first number was published in the winter <>f 1851, with Henry J. Raymond, as editor and stockoblder, George Jones, E. B. Morgan, D. B. St. John and E. 11. Wesley being its other stockholders. In the course of years George Jones bought the controlling interest and held it to his demise, past 80. The Harper Bros, were once interested in it, and at another time Robert Bonner was. George Jones felt great pride in The Times, as well ho might, for it yielded him liis chief consequence. Ho left the proprietorship to his only son, Gilbert E. Jones, who after a number of months, felt uncertain of the paper’s future and was anxious to dispose of it. Charles R. Miller, the editor, and E. J. Spinney, the managing editor, were elected as sales agents, and they effected their purpose. They have an interest, but the bulk of the property is supposed to ho in the hands of two rich insurance companies and several prominent anti-Tammany

Democrats.

Tlu* Varying World. No newspaper hero or in tho whole country has had a stranger history than The World, begun in the summer of 18(10 as a severely religious secular journal. Alexander Cummings of Philadelphia set it up and made it almost Puritanic in its contents and comments. But New York, even its religious portion, did not liko it, and its money was wasted. It changed bands and became political. Such men as Samuel J. Tilden, S. F. M. Barlow, August Belmont, Fernando Wood and Augustus j Schell, all dead now, were supposed to owu it. It followed devious ways, drew much attention, hut made no money un

more of the stock. Hitchcock still holds his interest (the two, who are friends, have the great bulk of the property), and there are a few minor stockholders. These change from time to time, but in no way affect the proprietorship. Dana, now in his seventy-sixth yea^ is a most vigorous veteran ami works like a man of 60 (no one seems to think him old), as if he bad many years before him, which he may have. He is regarded as the most cultured and accomplished journalist in New York, though ho has, Jfom the popular view, many strange aberrations. In his youth an idealist and a Brook Farmer, he has long been a man of tho world, worldly, and is, in his editorial course, diligent in pro-

voking opposition.

James Gordon Bennett, a Scotchman, fonuded Tho Herald in May, 1835, when he was more than 40 years old, and James Gordon Bennett is still at its helm. But ho is not a centenarian, as

tered its financial destiny. He was thought to be near his end for a good while, but has now grown much better. He threatens to remain in and with Tho World far beyond the century. Ho is sublimely self confideut ami audaciously

enterprising.

His brother, Albert Pulitzer, owns The Morning Journal and spends much of his timo in Paris, while looking sharply after his paper. Ho shares nmny of his kinsman’s astute qualities and his special capacity for pushing ahead. The Journal is 12 years old. Tho Recorder is a lusty youngster some four years old. Various capitalists, liko Duke, the tobacco man, and Starin of steamboat fame, pushed it iuto being with heaps of money. George W. Turner, formerly of The World, has editorial and business charge of tho paper now, but a controlling stock interest probably rests in other hands. Mr. Turner has had phenomenal success iu journalism, and whatever may be said of his methods he holds the respect of tho staff of bright men and women who assist him in making the paper. Ho is unassuming iu manner and of a retiring nature.

as its legeuil records, ill April, 1841, but he never owned it and held his place by moral authority to tho close of his career. Ho was a man of serious convictions and believed in giving all sides a hearing, even slavery, to which ho was very early hostile. Hu cared nothing for social position ami “Vue lol money, but j everything for principle, and ho was a true friend of the people. His paper was fitly named, and he named it, Itstarted ns a 1 cent issue and was for some time so painfully pious as to refuse theatrical ndvertisemeuts and suppress improper police reports. Greeley was ably assisted, after a few months, in the business department by Thomas McElrath, who had been educated as a lawyer and had served as a publisher. Greeley passed away before ho was 02, not, as is generally believed, ou accountof disappointed political ambition, but of excessive devotion in caring for his dying wife. Whitelaw Reid, Greeley’s exact antipodes, suDoeoded him ns editor, and ulso gained linanciul control, nominally, of the “grout moral organ,” as it used to bo called. There is much reason for tho opinion that Jay Gould lout him the money to buy 61 shares at $10,000 a share, and that he (Reid) was for years obliged to endure Gould’s domination. When Reid wedded D. O. Mills’ daughter, she presented him, it is said, with $500,000 as a marriage portion, and with this he redeemed the shares that had been hypothecated to Gould and so relieved himself of his most oppressive
