minds eye when they drew the sketch.
Upon the strength of an acquaintance
of forty years Mr., Goodwin declares
his full faith in the purpose of the
Democratic candidate to reform the
abuses OF the Government, and full
reliance on his ability to do the work.
He has been schooled In the great
responsibilities Of the Governorship
OF this State. which is an important
executive office and not merely o
kind of clerkship. like the position uf
Governor in Ohio; and his achieve
mcnts in the publication Ut the adj
ministration Of State affairs and the
reduction Of State taxation stand alone
in State and Federal politics. Mr..
Goodwin, while asserting that Mr.. Til
den is more of partisan than suits
his own temperament. nevertheless
dwells with enthusiasm on the instan>
ces in which during the free-soil agita-
tiOn, the crusade against the Tammany
Ring, and the assault upon the Canal
Ring, he forgot party tics for the sake
of the public good.
There is no escaping from the con-
clusion that the members of the Fifth
Avenue Conference should, to be consis-
tent and make their conduct square with
their professions, support the nominee of
the st. Louis Convention. The misera-
BILE pretense in regard to the Resumption
act PIT forward by Carl Sehurz to excuse
his dosertion of the standard of reform
which he himself raised, is exposed COM
pletely by Parke Goodwin. He quotes the
financial resolutions of both conventions
analyses them, and shows that while the
Republicans merely put forward bar
rem generality to the effect that return
to specie payments is desirable, the Dem
ocrats are ex plicit, full and peremptory
in stating the same end and suggesting
the practical means Of getting into it.
The demand made by the latter for the
repeal of SO much of the act OF 1875 as
fixes u date for resumption is sound,
since it is pernicious to lull public
opinion into u false security by means
OF a PROMISE, when the circumstances de-
mand deeds" The pledge of resump-
tlon at given date, coupled with the
neglect to prepare for resumption, is
graphically compared to the act Of wreck
ers who hold out false lights to tempest
tossed sailors, and lure them to destruc
tion instead of safety.
The letter closes in q STRAIN of manly
eloquence. The writer appeals to his as
5ociatea in the conference to dismiss old
party pref udices, asserting that Republi-
canism, which is responsible for the evils
affecting us, is substantially unchanged,
and will be during the next four years
what it has been during tho past eleven
years, The Mortons, Conklings, Blaines,
Camerons, Logans, Kelleys will still con-
troll it. The Democracy, on the contrary,
has risen to the eXigencies OF the times
We think it would be well for Demo-
cratic meetings during the canvass to be
opened with the reading of the st. Louis
platform and closed with the reading Of
this letter.

MORTON AND THE, NEGROES.
gentleman from Louisiana, whose
name is withheld, has written pri-
yate letter to Republican member
of the House relative to the attitude
of the negroeslof the South toward
the nomination for the Presidency.
He says the negroes are all for Nor
ton. They will control the conven
tions, and will not permit any men
to go to Cincinnati as delegates who
are not known by them to be in favor
of the nomination of Morton. They
will not be content with the instruct
ing of the delegations, but will know
the men they send to be in accord
with the controlling sentiments of
the conventions. ~ This statement
comes from a source which entities
it to much credit, and indicates that
Morton will have the united South
in the Cincinnati Convention. With
in. the last two or three months the
friends Of other candidates have la
bored diligently to secure, for in
stance, Louisiana, Mississippi, Flor
ida, North Carolina and Virginia;
butt the information above given is
given is correst, all the hopes they
have expressed are based upon false

PR NAMES. Tom Hood said that
a nickname was concentrated cal
umny; but Hood wrote in an aristo-
cratic atmosphere, where people
stand on their dignity to an extent
scarcely comprehensive in the Uni
ted States. A London merchant goes
on Change in etove-pipe hat, and
if he should venture to depart from
that formality and appear some after
noon in the de50uchee freedom of a
"wide- awake his paper Would be re-
fused before the day was over; while
if he should, in moment of hilarity,
greet his business partner with
"Good day, old Beeswax,'' there
would be q notice of dissolution in
the Gazette within forty Eight hours:
How different all this is with us,
adds the New York Herald, scarcely
needs to be told; but most charac-
teristic point of the difference of life
under democratic influences is seen
in the very different appreciation in
which nicknames is held with u.s.
Scarcely any man goes far without
one, and no one resents the intiiction,
because is there is just the shadow of
spite in the name the folly and bad
temper of exhibiting irritation would
expose any man to general laughter;
but because, also, the thing is CON-
monty done without aninus--in a
spirit Of rollicking, easy jollity and
pretended familiarity. Very often,
indeed, the nickname becomes more
than a joke-more than eyenGa good
natured joke. 1t becomes the start
ing point of new apd more intimate
relations between the subjects of the
. name and a wide circle of friends;
Or, in the cass of a pablieaman, be
tween him and the public. How
much did "Old Hickory do in this
way for General jackson, or "Tippe
canoe and Tyler too' for a famous
Presidential ticket, and how much
of sturdy pride and simple minded
admiration did the nation concen
trate in "Old Rough and Ready"

laly the wife of q distinguished jurist
was seized with epileptic spasms,
which to all appearance ended in
death. The physicians recognized
all the evidences of dissolution. Her
features were distorted, checks and
eyes sunken, the lips blue and blood
less, skin cold ana habby-a phenom-
enon which from hour to hour be-
came more pronounced. Finally, ev-
en- the spots that usually precede de-
composition were observed, and as
the weather was very warm, it was
thought advisable not to delay the
burial. The woman was laid in a
wooden coffin and deposited in the
family vault. Those who are &C
quainted with the arrangement of

coffin in question was placed. A year
later, another member Of the jurist's

went himself to the cemetery to see
which niche the new coffin should be
