Summary: One of James Gordon Bennett's perennial editorial campaigns against the Catholic bishop of New York John Hughes is the subject of 'Jamie & the Bishop.' On the left Scottish-born 'Jamie' Bennett, a quill pen behind his ear, shoots a clyster at the archbishop, saying, 'Hoot awa mon, this is the best weapon in the College of Pharmacy, & mickle dirty water can I fling with it mon!' 'Dirty water' is probably a reference to the notoriously squalid form of journalism practiced by Bennett in his newspaper, the New York 'Herald.' Hughes retaliates with a swing of his crozier, saying, 'With all the power of Holy Church will I assail thee, most reprobate & contemptible viper.' Behind Hughes stands an Irishman, a gin bottle in his pocket and club in his hand. He growls, 'Be Jasus shtand back! your honor's worship, & let me have a shlap at him wid the shillaly!' Bennett is offered support by another Scotsman, who scratches his back against a nearby lamp-post, 'Wait a bit, Jamie, till I've scratched my bock & I'll lend yees a hand, mon.'
