JAY GOULD's ORGAN.

The Ishmaelite appears to hate every
thing connected with the Tribune. Filled
with envy and all uncharitsbleness he can
not abide the thought of another enjoying
what he had long and fondly dreamed would
have been his sole inheritance. So strong
has this passion of hate toward his alma
Mater in journalism been that his Daily
Growler is filed with articles ridiculing the
present editor on the score of his youth,
innocence and simplicity. Fault finding
and scolding have become chronic with the
Ishmaelite, and he cannot bear to hear any
one praised for wel[doing or see any one
succeed in an honorable calling. He i'm
mediately suspects them Of being inspired
by impure motives or influenced by hopes of
fabulous gains. He cannot even give Jay
Gould credit for common honesty. Time
was when Dana was not SO suspicious of
the motives and intentions of men who
seemed honest. When he used to preach
the doctrines of Fourier and RosseGu and
organize Phalansteries in New Jersey
thirty odd years ago, he was comparatively
innocent, and believed in the circulation of
the milk of human kindness and the pos
sibility of little close-corporation-m -mlllen.
mum, at least, right in the vicinity Of
Brook Farm" 1t is probable that his
corruption was initiated in the break
ing up of that delightful commu-
nlty, as there was some difficulty in
accounting for all the property and its pro-
ceeds. The next suspicion which the pub
Icentertained of his dishonesty was aroused
by the fearfully costly manipulation of the
Irish famine fund in 1S47. Since that time
he has been constantly making exhibitions
of 9 highly disagreeable dyspepsia or indi-
gestion, which seemed to affect his brain.
1t has necessarily cropped out in bad tenn

at all those VINO attracted his attention dis
agreeably, as if he were attacked with hy-
drophobis.
Many have lStterly suspected that the
Ishmaelite editor was addicted to eating
opium. 1t is most accurately indicated by
the querulousness of his disposition, his
tendency to marvellous exaggerations, and
his utter inability to speak the truth. No
one who is completely in the tolls of this
seductive and insidious vice is ever ex-
pected to be or act naturally or to tell the
plain, unvsrnisked truth. He lives in an
atmosphere of extrayagant visions and is
the serf of the Evil One.
The following article from recent num-
Der Of the New York Sun is appended as
an evidence Of the malicious and envious
disposition of this degraded Journalist:
"The fact that Jay Gould really owns the con-
trolling interest in the Tri6a,le and tinancialIy
has Il tn his tight grasp, is proved daily by the
columns Of the paper for these many moui hs
past, and is effectively admitted and Confessed
by the young editor; and 1t is certainly a strange
fact. What Jay Gould intends to do with the
paper IN the future, whether he has any wish to
make 1t direct source of profit, and how long
the smaller stockholders can stand his settled
policy Of preventing profits, are conundrums
which We leave every one to solve as best be
can. DAY Gould is q shrewd man, and an nm
