The Doubt ana tho spade.

'sThe tomb Of some great king, but one
who probably lived much later than Aga
memnon," is the poet and Hcllenist, Will
lam Cullen Bryants, conjecture regarding
DR.. Schliemanns discoveries among the
Cyclopean-walled tombs at Mycenm. The
details of the discoveries published in Tues
days HERALD, though not describing them
in full or up to the date of the Doctors
letter to the King of Greece, show that he
has taken more pains to assure himself of
the great antiquity of the treasures and
architectural remains than Mr.. Bryant's
phrase, "a moment of exultation," would
imply In an age when, as Mr.. Bryant OBJ
serves, writings or craven inscriptions OF
any kind were rare, and the chances
of their survival to our time so preca-
rious, other means beyond the actual writ
ton character must be relied on for verifca-
,tion. Nor need these be SO incomplete MS at
first would seem from their nature. Sus-
tanned first by direct traditions and
next by the great epics and TRACE
dies crystallizing them, the explorer takes
up the tale of the descending ages at the
point where it is admitted to be historical
and carries it down to the present day
Then he takes his spade and digs backward
through the ages as he digs down into the
earth. The signs by which he marks the
limit of the various historic epochs need not
be dwelt upon. Those who recall Dr..
The New York herald., 1876-12-16

shamelessly prostituted that service
to partisan ends. As to the South, Mr..
Hayes letter limited plainly at what he is
now reported to intend--a policy in hnr-
mony with good government in the South
ern States; and we remember that one
of the journals of his own State which has
most strenuously supported him-the Gin
cinnati o,nmercidl-when the letter of ac-
ceptance was published urged Southern
men to stake Mr.. Hayes at his word"
telling them they could safely do SO.
But if Mr.. Hayes really and sincerely means
what his letter promised, what his personal
friends have held out, what our Cincinnati
correspondent and other reports asserted
and what he has not since denied-if he
really means constitutional rule, thorough
reform of the civil service, local selfgovern-
ment in the South as it exists in the North,
this is precisely what the mass of the
people, North and South, mean and want.
and he need not fear to speak out Such
policy will win the applause of every hon
est citizen all over the land. It's mere
public announcement would do almost in
finitely much to soften political rancor and
to allay public anxiety. 1t would, we
suspect, exasperate the political extremists
of both sides. But if Mr. Hayes becomes
President he must make up his mind
from the beginning to act without regard to
this class. He cannot afford to be par
tisan, and the best way for him to break of
with the men whose policy his letter of
acceptance denounced is to take the Ameri-
can people into his confidence now and
without delay Hence we ask Governor
Hayes to speak out.
The New York herald., 1876-12-16

Schliemann's researches on the Trojan plain
will remember how he marked the antiquity
by the descent how he passed through two
buried and burned cities before he came
upon the great masses Of masonry
upon the virgin soil which he claims,
and with great reason, to be the nior
of Priam and Hector. the pictured city OF
Homer. At Mycenm the Doctor worked with
less chance of error than on the marshy
Troad. He had the testimony of Pausanisa
to guide him; he had the Cyclopean
remains to locate the Pausanian tradi-
tion. The Doctors work must speak for
itself We do not purpose to 60 ahead
of his guarded announcement or to 90 be-
hind it until the full story is before us. AZ
Mycenn there has been hard, honest and
patient work in the right direction, down
into the bosom of Mother Earth that may
conceal, but surely holds from entire de-
struction, the relics Of the great monument
raising men of other times. BY her kindly
process of heaping the dust of ages upon
them and moistening the dust with the rain
drops of heaven she has but hid them for
the time when they will be enshrined in .
brighter appreciation than they could COM
mand at any epoch since they were first in
tered. The doubt has had its long day.

Bryant who, eighty years ago, wrote book
