TIMELY QUESTIONS FOR THE TIMES.
We did not know that stripping stolen
hide from Ihe Times wOuld hurt it so DadlY.
II evinces most unchristian spirit OF anger
at our charges of its completely with the cor
runt Judiciary Ring, but it has no reply 10
the facts we gave, showing its close pohtlcai
alliance with the only Senator (OBrien) who
did not dare to 60 to Albany and vote for
McCunn's conviction. 1t pretends, In Its as
tress, to appeal to the Bar to know whether
they got more encouragement from me
Times or TRIBUNE. This is trivial we lhsiSC
that it shall answer to the facts.
II claims to have attacked Barnard, Cardozo,
and McCunn as far back as 1865 and as late
as 1868. We deny this positively. Barnard
attacked the editor of 4he Times from the
Bench, and the latter responded In his paper (;
but no offenses of the Judges on which they
could be impeached were ever mentioned IN
that paper or any other until in November,
1871, The TRIBUNE collected and published
the facts on which the impeachments or Car
dozo, McCunn, and Barnard were subsequently
based. What did The Times do in the hiatus
between 1868 and 1871, three long yearsf 1t
opened not its mouth. What did it do from
the time we opened the attack in November,
1871, until Feb. 6, when the impeachment
business was taken up by the Assembly
1t simply gave McCunn space to deny our
charges. 1t did not come to our help until
success was assured.
And now having disposed of this matter,
will The Times answer the other facts we have
statedf Is it not in close alliance with Sena-
tor O'Brien7 Does it not devote columns to
his service in slandering better men who are
politically opposed to him2 Have not the
Senator and Judge and proprietor OF The
Times secured by collision with Thomas Muir
ply places in the CustOm-house and Navy
Yard and United States Courts for OBriens
men on the absurd claim of the Senator that
he can control the Apollo Hall Democracy In
Grants INTEREST," Let it answer these ques-
tions without childish appeals to tribunal
that cannot respond, and then we have few
more worth its consideration.

The Baltimore Convention was singularly enthu-
siastic, but it was not unanimous. The Cincinnati
Convention was desperately in earnest, but 1T was
from beginning to end sharp contest. Only the
Philadelphia Convention was unanimous. Some OF
its members have since come out for the Cincinnati
ticket Electors on its State tickets have withdrawn
for the same reason. Yet. in the Convention ITSELF
not voice was raised, not syllable
was whispered against the denomination OF the
President who controlled it, by party whose most
eminent leaders and founders have repudated him.
The people who read the Grant papers until they
are puzzled about packing conventions" have only
to to these universally admitted facts to de-
termine where the packing" was found, and who
did it.

The TRIBUNE is pining away by inches for reason
of seeding subscribers 1t seems sad the
comfort and support which our suffering critics lind
in this statement, but it must be done. IHE IRIB-
UNE happens to be in the most robust and conented
condition imaginable. 1t does MT pine in the least
and is likely to be an unconscionable time adying.
Indeed it has the most reasonable and proper eX-
recitation of publishing slight funeral notices of all
the poor little gaspng journals that are predicting
its decline.

The experiment of selecting members of
the Corporation of Yale College by the
votes of its Alumni works well. Mr..
William NJ. Evarts heads the poll, and

all likewise excellent.

The speech of Gov. B. Gratz Brown at New
Haven, yesterday, on politics, was singularly
fOrcible and dispassionate review of the pres
ent condition of the national election canvass.
The speaker seemed to denude himself of all
personal interest in the contest, and spoke
only as q statesman calmly viewing the situa-
ton from an exalted point of view Gov.
Brown wildly pictures the benefits which the
country derives from the consolidation of the
Liberal political elements of all parties, COM
pares the last Conventions at Philadelphia and
Baltimore, and draws most hopeful augury
of success from his survey of the whole field.

Friends of peace and order will be relieved
70 learn that the Orangemen will probably
have quiet time with their procession to-day.
Since these societies are bent on having a
celebration, it becomes the duty of law-abld-

out insult or mOlestahOn. The Orangemen,
for their part, disclaim any intention OF pro-
vokinp hostile criticism or inviting collision.

Without preparation, and almost without
notice, a crowd gathered last night in front
of the Lincoln Club House on East Twenty
first-st, large enough to suggest the great
ratification meeting at the Cooper Institute, to
serenade Mr.. Greeley and listen to speeches
from the Hon. Robert L. Mallory of Ken
lucky, Major Hagserty, late of the N. Y.
Custom-house, and other popular speakers
from various parts of the country. The en-
thusiasm was unbounded the blending of party
lines for the sake of the principles embodied
in the Cincinnati Platform complete, the
confidence of victory universal Turn again
to the Cincinnati Platform, printed elsewhere
this morning, and see what it is, the accept
ance and certain triumph of which these joy
full demonstrations hail. Then decide for
yourselves whether it is or is not cause, In
the gathering omens of success for which all
good citizens should rejoice.

Like most gentlemen of his humble profession
John Thomas has dialect of his own. His phrase
ology is constructed with a splendid disregard of
truth, good temper and common sense. Then, too,
he is profuse and lavish, and often uses two names
for one tbing-a glitterng extravaganza which does
not give him as much comfort it should. For in
stance, the cheering for Grant at Philadelphia was
enthusiasm and the shouting for Greeley at Bal
timore is "bosh." Unhappy John Thomas! We
have never expected to find him guilty of good

How doctors disagree was most forcloiy
illustrated by the closing testimony in the
Stokes trial, yesterday. DIR. CarnOchan criti-
cjsed the surgical treatment of Fisk the other
day with an easy assurance which must have
bean very aggravating to the other side. But,
yesterday. DR.. sayre had his say wmen
rasped Carnochan severely. The upshot OF
this dispute is. undoubtedly, to confuse the
minds of the jurors as to the real cause OF
Fisk,s death, and to convince the general
nublio that medical science after all is more
largely experimental than exact and practical

There is man in Boone County, Kyp who has
brought his family to utter ruin and wretchedness
by his incorporate study of the Greek language. He
does nothing for the support of his wife (who has
fits and his children. They live in miserable
shanty without floor OF windows, with hardly food
enough to keep them from starving. Meanwhile
this wonderful Grecian gives his whole time to Ho

We read OF most determined and resolute thief
in Middlefeld, Conn. He removed the cornerstone
of church and stole few coins which had been
deposited there for the eyes of far distant genera
tons thus accomplishing the entirely novel feat of
stealing from posterity. An indignant religious
newspaper compares this to "the theft of acorns
from blind hog" which strikes a fresh and
satisfactory simile,

has also expelled DR.. +. R. Moore for aiding and
