Those Of your readers interested in the politics
of metropolitan journalism, have, Of course, ere
this, read all about the shocking case Of sun
stroke that occurred here ON Tuesday, the victim
being Mr. Ira Russell Young, managing editor
Of the IribHac
When we speak Of the sensation caused by
clan of thunder in q clear sky, we hear something
decidedly astonishing. But, assure you, such
a phenomenon is triling affair compared to the
shock Of establishment by the five column article
in Tuesdays Sun, giving q full, true and par
ticular account Of the management OF the ifiDhHf
by Young and of his various and ynrled news
papcr enterprises in Philadelphia, the whole en-
lirhtcned and illustrated by Noung's letters TO
his confidential friends They also know that
Young has responded By instituting libel SUIT
against Mr.. Dana, editor OF the Sun, laying ms
damages nt 800 900. Also that Young friends
in Philadelphia make various strong reclamations
and dcnials Meanwhile the authenticity OF
NOung's letters stands unimpcachcd, and herein

business OF course those letters would only
have been placed in the hands Of those who have
no special liking for Mr. Young by that worst
Of enemies, the man irh0 icaS once t1andf As

himself up with unccan intrigue- for this public
mans support and that politicians money, is
something inconcciyahlc. lie had, at the age OF

such as very few men attain at the end OF long
life of devoted labor, and he had only 10 pursue
it in profit and boz honor. But no the demon Of

may add that Mr. Young has not been dismissed
from the management Of the Tribune. On the
contrary, am advised, by good authority, that
Horace Greeley still stands 10y him.
