TILTON ON ARK GOODWIN.


Speaking of the Fifth avenue platform
adopted By the mass-meeting of sixteen
statesmen, TiltOn says: "Be it known,
therefore, that Park Goodwin was its
author. 1t was in this strange mans
executive and brilliant brain IA spend
thrift intellect, prodigal of great
thoughtsj that the stTatagem was
Matched. Mr.. Goodwin is now the
Epeain0 Post. 1t is he-"Lancelot and
not anOthern-who makes his father-in-
laws paper so eloquent against the
brOther-in-law administration. It is he
whose evening article glitters and shines
with wit and sarcasm and admirable
damnations. 1t is he who keeps the
best Of the second-rate papers raging at
the Cincinnati nominations like a
Thoroughbred bull at a red rag. Honor
to whom honor is due, and let it be paid
to the eorruscating Ishmaelite who, once
a day, and six days week, jabs his
eilded pen with bloOdless cash into the
sweet, pure, ehild-llke flesh Of the innO-
entandunbarmed farmer fChappaqua.
Mr.. Goodwin has u grudge against Mr..
Greeley. 1t is of old date, taking its
root in the early days Of both. There
was a period when n of the compost
tors who used to settype in the printing
office Of the Post was a young man with
a big head, a light complexion, a eoun-
trv-like air, and an awkward gait. But
he knew his trade. He understood ty-
Biography better than the men who fed
him their ''copy.n Accordingly he
sometimes made a suggestion as to how
the work should be done. But he was
always treated As If he were a nobody.
And vet he was Horace Greeley, the
next President Of the United Statesl

JOHNSON.
A New York Paper on the GreenerilIt
Scandal.

The New York Commercial AdUertiSer,
in commenting upon the Greenevillt
scandal, says:
The details of the suicide of an est.
mable lady of Greeneville, Tennessee,
furnish a striking illustration of the
consequence of premeditated scandal.
By an anonymous letter a scandal
against her good name. was set going,
but the story throughout was a base and
most villainous fabrication. Yet Thi-
lady fell a victim to malice. DESPITE
the fact that her husband had no doubi
of her fidelity, the fearful story, witt
every alleged detail, was taken up,
passed from mouth to mouth, magnifieu
and whispered aloud among those who
knew her. So the affair progressed till
il produced its natural effect upon her
mind, and she gave way beneath the
weight of SORROW. The work of her enc
mics is shown to have been only too well
done. She ended her sad history in the
grave, leaving husband, friends and
children TO labor in vain Il discover the
mystery Of the calumny.
So it is in this, and many other eases,
perhaps not so prominent, as that of the
Inflated Mrs. Harved. The chastity OF
woman, which is the safeguard and
wealth of her existence, sowing those
seeds of love which hallOw the fire-side,
and spread the crowns and wreaths of
affectiOnate tribute upon the burial
casket, too often falls a prey to the cold
mOuthed scandal. Friends may seek
the traduceT, but a shred il found be-
meath the very concealment which a re-
hearsal OF the scandal renders a neces-
sity. No n may believe. yet each one
c%lrculates the story of disgrace and ruin
she becomes a mark for the curious,
and waning friendships, lost companion
ships, are the inevitable results, while
The graceless culminatOrs find security
in their insidiOus whisperings, and watch
their victims from their ambush in the
ranks of society closest to the object OF
their lies. The worlds record has no
baser coinage than such malicious false
hoods, spreading themselves through the
iife-blOod of society like the virus Of
disease, present, but unseen; seeking
victims where best loved. to give "a
sequel to the attempted ruin, and eating
away without remedy, at the vitals o.
home, life, and domestic purity.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS Al pom,
PEVE.

This year the excavators have been a
work down the streets OF the gOldsmiths
The work is begun at the top Of the soil
sixty feet or more from the level Of thC
streets. Trees and vegetation are cleared
from the surface, men with picks anC
spades loosen and throw nj the earth
and troops Of blkek-eyed, s~unny-cheekeC
girls with baskets and psnniers, bear Il
away to the wagOns. Arrived down tC
the roofs the WOrkmen proceed more
carefully. Adepts crumble the scOria in
their hands to find antiques. From the
hOllows Of every chamber they clean out
the ashes with great pTecation. The Oh
jects are thus found exactly az they
were left in the hurry and confusion
with which the occupants escaped. Mos,
houses can be recognized for what they
were. Inscriptions on their walls, signs
on their pOrches, carved emblems (prOh-
pudOr) at their d0OrwRys, tell their story.
Thus there are private mansions and
taveTns, workshops and laundries, dane
ing halls and bagniOs unfortunately
lighted upon. Wall paintings, some
time OF great excellence, are found. The
diggers uncovered one last summer

the workmen showed the holes where

been I'm a stateOf repair when the vol
canic storm buried it; painters, decOra-
tors and cleaners were masters of the
situation. Dinner, however, had not
been forgotten; a solitary pot stood on
the stove, and the bronze dish, upon
which was a suckingpig ready fOr bak-
ing stood ready atthe ovens mouth for

but perfectly preserved.

Greeley As a Democrat before, bet if the
Baltimore Convention puts him 10 ouI
