THE TRIBUNE'S LAST ISLANDER.
ACOrrespOndent Applies some Plain
EpithetS to the Organ of Filth.

Editors Herald:
There is said to be a sublimity in all
directions. Accepting. the assertion as
true there has been reached by the
Tribune a sublimity in its filth, in its
venalty, in its disrespect for character
in every direction that is the anti
podes of honesty, probity, manliness
and that regard for the good name OF
that sex, whose good name every beng
in the remotest way worthy the name
of man. would give up life to preserve.
Notwithstanding the assertion OF the
editor of the Tribune that the desire OF
his journal only was to do highland
this assertion was made in the teeth
of the basest, and most malicious
attack on four jurors in the Clawson
case; Notwithstanding the fact that tel-
low Jurors in the case we're constrained
to come out in a card in behalf OF the
four who disagreed with them notwlth-
standing all this, that sheet had the UNI
adulterated gall to declare it had SAID
nothing not in good journalistic taste:
There is not day in which the name OF
some person is not assailed and stigma
placed upon it. No person the most in
/ nocent, is safe from its putrid and
sinking assaults. Characteristic of this
course on Sunday morning it made false
use of the name of a well known. and
popular Young lady in this city charg-
ing her with polygamy. The dirty apos-
tate Jew who is the author of that artl-
Gle, or who must be assumed to be its
author, knew it was lie when he made
the assertion; knew it had been denied
to him on authority he dare not
dispute; he knew he was liar
when he penned it and knows it as well
to-day. If the position of the Tribune
is correct, a young girl could do no act
calculated with greater certainty to de-
stroy her happiness, her character, or
her wOmanliness, or that would place
her more surely beyond the hope of a
virtuous, life than to become plNral
wife. The Tribune is the champion of
morality; God save us y it is the strong
arm for the weak, the defense of the
weary. and the hope of those who have
yielded in the struggle. In the teeth of
these assumptions, without any COM
FUNCTIONS of conscience, it charges upon
reputable young lady and highly es-
teemed young man an offense without a
parallel in the categorylOf the crimes
The dirty, craven coward, in the teeth
of its claims, in the face of the asser-
tons of the moral calcium light who
occupies the tripod on that sheet, that
tha apOstate Jew would lose his position
if he did not cease personalities, in the
teeth of these declarations, the state
ment absolutely without foundation
known to be without foundation by him
appeared on Sunday morning, the
object of which was, if such thing
were possible, forever to blast the char
acter of a young woman whose whole
walk ia life has been to win the love,
the confidence and the admiration of all
who have known her. To the aggrieyed
mother, the moral liviathan said the col
umns Of his paper were open to denial
to denial of what he, the apostate
Jew, knew to be a deliberate false
hood prior to the publication.
Such magnanimity could be ex-
pected only from thing, who
after he had accused the police of lncit-
ing to and abetting the lynching of the
assassin of the late Captain Burt, turned
and asked for the protection of the
police against an excited and indignant
populace made so by his assaults on the
| very men whose protection the white
| livered craven-begged. God save us
what with an apOstate from humanity
and morality at its head, and an apoS-
tate Jew at its tail. it is impossible to
| conceive what next the putrid thing will
do.
