BROJKVILLE TRAGEDV.

Da'.ails of the Shooting of Dr. Goodwin. A Multitude of Mourner at the Funeral. Special to the Cincinnati commerclaL) BßocKvtLLK Ind , May 5. The Goodwin t;agedy, which occurred in this piece last Monday, was one of the most brutal, cold blooded murders that has ever taken' place In this or any of the surrounding Counties The facts of the case, as far as we can ,Larn,. are about as follows: ,8ome, eight; month go Colonel Goodwin (the murderer) was pronounced insane, aud sent to the iDsane Asylum at Indianapolis and Z. T. Hutchin eon and M C Armstrong, of this city, sign ing the papers necessarily required to admit him The Colonel, being a ron of the dis position that never forget nor lorglve, therefore remfmberrd thee two mtuand his own brother, and as soon ai he was pro nounced cured and set at liberty again, he immediately returned to this place no doubt from what we have been able to learn for the expre8 purposof taking the Uvea o! Hntcbnson, Armstrong? ana his own brother. Wht-n he arrived at this place he went to the Miller Uouee. kept by Lvouard Gagl. and told him "that he had come here to do a job, and that probably he could finish it up In one day, and mav be it would take him a week. Bat hern is the money with which to pay my board for a week, and if do the j ob in less time than that you can give m back what money will be due me." Tbe Colonel had made no bold threats, but kept perfectly quiet until Monday after coon, when he went into Mr. Hutchinson's grccery itore, on Main street, and withont sneaking to or recognizing any one, kept up f. coniipual puce backward and forward of the store room, aud at th same time, it is supposed, kept watching for his brother, and wb n his brother had go ten within about a haifpquareof Mr. HutcbiüS store, he to;d Mr. llutchits to come oatMde of hia store thst ht wantbd to talk to him. but Mr Hutchins told Mm that he would be back In on minute, and then be would ae bim. i and as he ma.1e the remark he stepped into tbe store ndjoinlng his. aud jast as he entered the store he hrard the snooting com mence, bud, on looking around, saw Colon tl Goodwin shooting at his brother. There is no doubt but that bis inteutloos were, when ht ent into Mr. H.'h store, to wait thf re nntil hU brother came along. knowing that he had to pass there on his ay home, and then call Mr. H. out into toe street and then shoot them both down, hut he filled In this attempt, so far as get tiog A chance to shoot Mr. H. When the Colonel met his brother coming up the street, he waitfd until tfcey were within four or five leet of each other, when th Colonel drew a thirty-two caliber revolver and commenced shooting b a fore his brother bad time to turu around. Af er he had not him twice the Doctor grabbed him by the arms and begged of mm not to ehoot him aoy more, but he broke himself loose from hia grip and shot him twice more. The funeral of Dr. John P. Goodwin took plac at his late residence, cn Main street, Kt 11 o'clock this moroloe. Tbe faneral service were conducted by Key. Thomas B W. McC'air, pattor in charge at this place, agisted by KrV. A. r. Marlatt, of Kushyille. 8pacioa rooms of the house were crowded, while yet ft larztr number of persons re matned upon the outside. The crowd is variously t stimated at from 1200 tol.5C0. The funeral ceremonies were, solemn and impretslve. every one takine the bereave ment es his own. Tbe murder of Dr. Goodwin is regarded as a public calamity, and It might be said that almost any one in the town could be spared better than he. As an honorable tribute to the deceased, a paper was circulated requesting all business of th town to be suspended for three hours, and tbe papr we? liberally signed not a refusal beleg inet with. A large number of persons trom a dWtance were present, and a commit tee of four of the delegates from the Metho dlst General Conference attended. A handsome iron casket contained the re toaics. On the face of the casket were two uüvtr pli'e. Inscribed upon on was the name, 4,Df. John R. Gcoiwin." Upon the other was the text. "Bietsad are they that die In the Lord, for they shall see God." TUB ANTI-THIRD TERMERS. They Meet at St. Louis ami Sit Down on i V i : Grant. 1 . St. I on. May 6. To Anti-Third Term N tloDal Republican' foaTeutiou was called to order at 12:30 by General Henderson, who called-to the chair -Mr. E.C. Uubbards, of Kentucky, a delegate tn the Chicago Oon ventlon, who. In retnrnlnnisihankelor tbe honor conferred, declared, in b-half of theConventloo, tnat It was possible for the Republican paity to nominate the next Presklnt of the Unltfd States; tbat the safety of tbe Republic demanded tbat the Republicans should remain In charge or the Nation' affairs. He Allndcd to tne existence of a belief, w hieb a section of the party affected to bold, tbat a third term candidate was necessary, and as serted triat this meetlDg. called to combat that Idea, represented a larger part of tbe Republican party than any gathering ever before convened. . . The. . chief ; point to , which this' Convention was directed was hostility to any : movement', tending in the least degree to the establishment of a monarchy. Thefremark that there were here no private axea to grind, tbat there was uo candidates to be brought forward for the Presidency, elicited nearty and continued applause. The man who to-day U can-van-ln for votes for a secoud renoml nation, was toe ,eatt fitted by nature or education for the office which he see 'ah; two terms ot hin ad min 1st ration which bad failed to suppress or dltuln sh dlshonetity In the Natiou'b affairs had convinced the countty of this fact, and had left it for the time a debated question whether dishonesty was not inherent, in tbe party which supported that administration. The studeut of history finds no parallel In history tor the courage and determination of this uuctertaklDg here to-dey : For nimcelf he was a stalwart Republican, but he believed the day. the Republican r party .commits itself to a third-term, that oay it Ktgns its own death warraut. - He believed -hat if the Chicago. Convention would "olace In nomination a man above reproach, he would lead the party to victory, and. bring safety to the Nation. It was tbe hope ot every luan here that tne third term Id m won Id to-day receive a blow which would kill It forever. A delegate moved the appointment by the Chair of a Committe of eleven, to arrange a permanent organization. .. . . Colonel (Juilbert, of Iowa, was elected Beoretary. . Xbe Chair then appointed the ' following CotumltUeon Organization: U C. Wharton, D.H. fintt enbur.U. W. Allerton, Wll. lam B.- Clarke, H.A. Archer, E. W. Fox, W. H. Jones, K. W. Bryant, M. E. Bryant, Carl ltochl and Mr. Hunt. Colon 9l Bluford Wilson, of Illinoia. belog invited i ado r ess tbe Convtnilon, made a speech of some length, in which he declared his unwavering hostility to the violation of the pr Ct dent net by ibe father of his country agalust a third term a precedent wblca had long teen recognized a a common uo wiilten law of the puty. He 'alluded ti his past connection with political events, nd taid that connection bad convinced htm thitt the duty of the Republican party was to oppose in every possible way the nomination of General U. . Urnt. Personal matters of urelerence 8homd uot be allowed to nare; no sentiment of gratitude should overcome patriotic duty. Where do you find the third-term suppoitets? In Wisconsin, la Iowa, In Illinois, lu New England ntatesT Thesa Htafes were silent 8 to the indorsement of the third-term ptinci pie. In Houih Carolina, wbicn represeutb the mostdepraveu political ides. In Alabama; in other e-outhern taie-, where there is no stiaoow ot a hope that there will be a el .gle electoral vote lor the Republican candidate, the voice Is raised for a tulid term. He leviewed the strong government Idea, aud declared that dishonesty, favoritism, the development of per -onal power, violation of law mho trestles were Its principal features. He referred to the eic vation and support of Robeson, 'Belknap, SUepneiu and oaiera, and. the depottttiou of Huar, Jeweit and Brl-tow, tor aunereuce 10 the piiuclplen of Justice an honesty, a v.

In case, however, of ft nomination ot Grant on one bldeand Tilden on tbe other, we can do as omoto oreti (rlends do in the öouth take to the woods." He named, as men who had courage and manhood, and could command tne rtept ct and support of the whole r atlon, Gen ersl Henderson, J. D. Cox, J. B. Uawley, üeorg W.Curtis. Applaosj greeted the announcement of each name. ihe oiumitietj uu Ptrui .nent Organization is as follows, and their report was adopttd: President, John B. Henderson, of Missouri, and a tatge number of VI ie Presidents. General Hen.. rson, on taking the platform, out lined briefly tbe purpose and hope of the Con ventlon. Ahe qiestlon was whether the great Republican party, now tbat succf&s was dee meu as Important as ever betöre, should nominate a man oa whom all cooid unite, or

a man whom what was believed to be a lareo

majority of the purty opposed on conscientious and patriotic grounds, whether tbat Ktvut uuwuiten law or precedents and me customs, which was at leat es fr-rea the written code, should he ob-cured nomination of President. Tbe tiomi mti"..cf lirant would no oulv be anlnd. r? aeul ot hts nd m 1 n Ik t ration, but it would pu.-e upon tbe Republican party the onerous burden of scaodais an i dishonor which were a Dart of tbat admlnlstrtl" He - quoted General Orant'a ap ecbes i iJIoomlogton and L. ttle Rock to dl-prove thafthere wssnetdof a strong Uoverument.

Vri SmJ SÄ2'J!"?if was read, as follows, and at once adopted, wunoui utouie: In pursuance of the demand, and renresent lng the convictions of what we believe t be a majority of tbe Uepub lean arty throughout the Union, this Convention of Republicans has assembled for the purpose of declaring their c nvictlons with relertnre to the present aspect of political Höalr. Delioeiate and emphatic expression Is et-peciaily demanded, iu view Of i he det rmlnetl efforts to force upon me party ine nominitiioa or a candidate tor tbe Presidency for a third term, lu leüaoce not only of thu traditions of the Government, as established by its founders and consecrated by unbroken and venerable usage and prescription down to the pret-ent time, but also of the solemn dec'arailoa of tbe Republican paity through its Conventions in the largest and controlling Republican f tales, reaffirmed by its Representatives in the popular branch ofCo gress, and adopted by the eulire partv in the declaration of its latest Presidential candidates. Be it tuen fore Unsolved, That tue memocrs of thl Convene tlon. for themselves ud those whom they represent, hereby reaffirm their devotion to the principles of the Republican party as heretofore set forth by its au horlzed representatives, and in view of the preheat exagencles we do esceciaily reaffirm the recent dec aratlonsof the täte Republican Conven tions, as ioiiov b: By the State Convention of New York 1875. we declare an unalterable opposition to the election f any Pr sldei.t lor a third term. By the S ate Convention of Pennsylvania, lt76, r affirmed iu 1876, we are unalteiaoly opprsed to the election to the Presidency oi any person for a third term. By the State Convention of Ohio, the observonceof Wainluxton's ex tin pie will be In tbe future as it has beou in the past, regarded as a fundamental rule In the unwritten law of the Itepubllc. By the Massachusetts Republican Conven tlon of 1875, sound reasons as well as tbe wise and unbroken uaze of the Itepubllc lllustrattd by the example or Washington, requires that the term ot the Chief Magistrate g tne united states snouiu not exceed a sec ond term, like sentiments having been an nounced by the Rep'ibiiom i or ventlon of Minnesota, and other Republican States, and having been affirmed in December. 1875. bv an overwhelming niajnity of both political parties In the National Houw of Representatives in the woids lollowlng: "That the precedent estabiirbed Dy wa-nigion, and other Presl dents of tbe United States, in retiring tn m tbe President's office alter tnelr second term bas become, by universal coftcurren e, a part oi our uepuDiicau system oi novernmeDt; aud tbat any uepartnre from thl.4 tirue-honoied custom would be unwise, unpatriotic and fraught with peril to our free Institutions. Resolved, That the nomination of a thirdte m candldste Is especially to oe deplored. because it win unavotaaoiy put tne R-publi can party on tne defensive ; because it will revive tbe memory of public scandals and of ficial corruption wblcu brought onr party to tbe verge of ruin, and will ataln alienate a larga "and powerful body of voter.-, without whose aid success is reither. possible nor deserved, while in the character and surroundings of the third-term candidate we find no guarantee against their r curretce, but rather a renewed mm ice In tbe posterity of the men who are loudest In his support. Resolved, TLat. we believe tnat the questions now eitatlng the public mind, connected as they are with the currency, the tariff, the civil service, tue rn 11 roads and other means ot Intercommunications, require the talent of a trained ilftetraau. We flud objection to the third term nomination now uiged upon the country: also, in that it would sub stltute dangerous tendency to personal government; for a determined nud unwearied effort for the true reform of the civil service, that relorm Itarless, though we dtcisre it to be vital to the welture and safety of the Republic. Resolved, That, as Republicans, we can not be hero worshipers, and we demand uom a party without a master the nomination of a candidate without stsin. . Resolved, That a National Committee of ICO be appointed acd instiucted, in the event of the uomiaation of Gran t, to meet in the city of New York at tbe c-tllof the Chairman of this Committee, and thus to set in such manner as they sh il then deem tx t to carry out the spirit and purpose of the-e rt solutions, the said Committer to be selected by a Committee of thirteen, and published at lis earliest convenience. The following Committee was chosen by the Convention, iu accordance with th proviso of the platform : Luclen Eaton, Dr. mil Praet or l us, of 1st. Louis; lieury Uitcbcoca, E. C. Hobbard, W. b. Allerton, J. W. Carter, Mr. Wood Mr. Jone?, of Pennsylvania; R R. Hill, of Indiana; W. W. Williams, of Mlnn sota; Biuford WIMon.of Illinois; M. Whiterldge, of Kentucky ; John B Henderson, f tft. Louis. The Committee above named was Instructe d to appoint a Committee of five to present resolutions to the Chicago Convention. After aioptlug the customary resolutions of courtesy, tbe Convention ai).urned sine die. Many oelegHes who had eapected to be frev lit failed to appear, aud seat lettets and elesraras of regret, but the hall was well filled wltn an audience of about 7,000 person whom perhaps 4w weru delegates In appearance the Convention compared favorably wl h any like body, aud there was peilte harmony throughout as to the objeai to be attained. The proceedings were dignified, and characterized by an earnet-t. purpose, which favorably impressed the audience and commanded re spct from the outset. There was no artempt to introduce the name ot any Presidential aspirant, but the Convention went quWtiy to Work to do what it was called for, and when that was done as quietly adjourned The names of many puolic men, a il especially that of Psident Ha; (8, were warmly applauded ;hen they were mentioned, but no evidence was given of preference in lavor of anyone oi ine more prominent candidates ior ie Prebidency.

"Well, my lad, where are you traveling this stormy weather, all alone?" asked an inquisitive landlord, of a small lad, whose father was engaged in smuggling, and had sent him, young as be was, on an important message in advance ot the party. "Going to draw my pension," was the .reply. 'Tension ?" echoed tlio astonished landlord; "what does so small a lad as you draw a pension for?"
