to The Charleston Courier, of the
3D. inst, says Of Brook'yn's dark TRACE
dy-the murder of Goodrich-as fol-
lows:
The circnmstantial evidence SO far
developed in tie Goodrich case indi
Gates that the murder was committed
with a deliberation and cuolness al
NEST superhnman, The surroundings
aredwere, mssteriously tragic than
th4se of eitl,er the Nathan or ;Burdell
assassination .f 81 4a8Hn. ~
snI In the case of Nathan, murder was
probably not the crime at first intend
ed. Startled by,hi own awful work,
the assassin made no attempt, to, clear
away tire evidence of crime. In the
Goodi7ch case the testimony Of Mr..
W: W:.GoWlrirlf rs to tile condition in
which Ire found the body Of his broth
er, leaves no doubt that the corpse was
carefully laid out, a clean collar put ON,
slippers pushed half way on the feet
and the fatal weapon placed near the
dead mans hand, in order. to convey
the impression that he had committed
suicide, And but for the mnraerer's
aavagice, the theory of self destruction
might have been hastily adopted. the
remains hurried to the family vault,
aud the dead soon forgot'en.
Delil,eia te. murders, in the excess Of
care which they take to escape detec-
tinn, fydNeptly furnish the, STRONGEST
eyil,eiict Of Their guilt, and it may so
prove in this INSTANCE. y2saifa a@lit".

NEW YORK.

New YoRK, April 3O.-The Herald, in
commenting upon the second battle on
Saturday last, saysi There is much
force in the propositions which have
been made to put old Indian fighters
and the old Indian system of warfare
against the Modocs." 1t thinks Sheri.
dan is competent to make short work Of
them, and should, be detailed at once by
the President to do so. From present
indications the determination of the No
docs will cost as much as did the subju-
cation of the Seminoles, which cost at
the rate Of forty thousand dollars per
warrior.
The Tribune thinks that Saturdays
massacre was the result Of q terrible
and fatal blunder, and by a series Of
these blunders the Modocs have been
brought to believe in their capacity to
withstand and defeat the soldiers of the
regular army in greatly superior force.
From this last fatal success it will not be
easy to predict how many Indian bands
viii spring up.
The Times says that the whole country
is beginning to get tired of this misera-
BILE business. The last episode shows
more fully the Importance of the Govern
ment dealing with the Indians. 1t is
evident that for the troops to penetrate
the lava beds means their determination,
instead Of that Of the Indians. It rec
ommends that the Modocs be fought in
their own way, by trained Indian fighters
The Eight Hours Enforcement League,
formed at meeting Of the trades union
delegates last week, met last night and
perfected its organization. Delegates
we're present from the following trades
Painters, tobacco box
makers, carpenters, engineers, piano
makers, aud also from the international
union.
A Washington special to the Times
says Secretary Fish received lengthy
dispatches from Minister Jay, regarding
the Vienna commission scandal, and
there's a reasonable prospect that the
order Of suspension viii be revoked as
10 the majority Of the commission, at an |
early day. The evidence thus ff- GER

rem himself seems TO be compromised,
though the circumstances Of his case
are notimpoasible Of explanation. When
Mayer reached Vienna, finding himself
suspended. he declined to deliver up the
plan Of assignment Of space for the
American exhibition, claiming Il as his
private property. There is reason to
believe that no plan Of assignment was
ever made BY Van Buren, or his assist
