The GOODWIN TlcKET.--lt seems that PARKE
GOODWIN engineered the remnant of the ridicu-
lous conference held in New York. 1t was
ctlled to larmonizc the opposition to General
GRANT. But the free-traders threw into
the cildron opposition to GREELEY, and
when the contents were boiled down to Il
mass it was found that opposition to GREELEY
alone remained, and PARKE GoDwlN, with
eighteen others, stirred it about, with what
effect our readers know.
Mr.. GRoEsBEcK is man Of rational t;liuc,
who, we are sure, will not allow his nauie to
be reduced to level with the lame and inl
potent conclusion reached by the Goodwin
ties. He will not be wrecked on the GOODWIN
sands. Mr.. OLMsrEAD is engineer of Cen.
trail Park, New York. which possibly won
over PARkE GOODWIN to him. lie was rucli,-
Der of the Sanitary Commission during the
war, and is commissioner for the National
Park of California. which includes the Yose-
mite Valley, with its big trees. All which
seems to recommend him for Superintendent
Of Public Grounds in Washington better
than for Nice-P President. GOODWIN would bet
ter change his plan, and, throwing his weight,
which at least amounts to one vote, in favor
of GREELEY, propose bis friend for appoint
mcnt to that Office, which would suit him
exactly.

GENERAL SHERMAN.-Last European &C
counts represent General SHERMAN rs en-
pected at Geneva with Miss GRANT. He de-
sends from the position of rival OF GRANT,
to which precedent and nature would have
exalted him, to the place of attendant of Miss
GRANT. General GRANT is probably quite
pleased at the degradation of his superior in
military science and genius. lie would
much rather see him chaperonins his daugh-
ter than have him as o rival. He cannot
tolerate rivals. CoLFAx bowed his neck at
him, and he issued an order which the margi.
nal note of the clerks of criminal courts alb
breviate thus: Sus. per COL, and CoLrAx was
accordingly politically hanged at Phiiadcl
phia.
We do not know how General SnERMAN
likes his office. But, philosophieally and by
example, he should have been the candidate
in opposition to the present party in power
instead Of being dry nurse. to the White
House.

places on the Liberal side. A great meet
Ing took place at Jamestown, New York,
on the 2ist instant. Senator TRUMBuLL ar
rived OPPORTUNITY, and was received most
enthusiastically. Cannon were fired to, sig
naIize his entrance into the town. He ad-
dressed the immense meeting for two hours
in powerful argument in favor of the Libe-
raj ticket. TRUABULL and SoHuRz are no
