DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1874. e URKAI TROJAN SCAN'DAI.. CROCERIES. TRUK STORY OF PARIS AND HELEN— ^ PORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF SIX. the Graphic.] HdHLIKMAIPb NEW DISCOVERY. Constantinople, September 1.—Among the leoeut discoveries made Dr. Kchlie- man on the site of ancient Troy, is one whieh not only fully confirms the Homeric legend, but which is in itself so extraor dinary as to seem almost incredible. It is uothing k ss than the discovery, among the ee-ealltd ‘‘treasures of Priam,” of u sariee of papyri containing a fall accouut of the ibduttiou of Helen. The prescr ibes papyri is to be accounted e fact tin* they were inclosed in Bnued of th'i«U slabs of asbestos, lusted the fire which consumed hey include copier. Q f several of jfcg Greek and Trojan journals of the day, thus refuting the populai theory that journalism was unknown to tho an. cients. I have boon permitted, through the kindness of Ilorr von tichweinhund, late Qtvmun Consul at Constantinople, to see the original documents—all of which are written in Greek—and to make trans lations of the most interesting facts set forth by them. I am, therefore, in a po sition to give your readers the first trust worthy iccount of the groat Trojan scan dal which has appeared for three thousand years. The identity of the Homeric characters is fully eonlineed, ond the legend that Paris vioitod Meueiaos at Me-'sene is sub stantiated m all its main features. Paris was, however, not the mere handsome guardittnan whom llomer has described, hht a young prince of great promise, who haa Already written a number of popular woife# and who was engaged white at Mesmhfee on a “Life of Prometheus.” Menehms does not seem to huve sus pected any intimacy betw'eeu tho hand- bomo Trojan and his wife until the latter, iu a moment of romorso, caused by over indulgence in weak tea, made a confes sion to him. Ho therefore mot Paris at the house of Ajax—who was the frioud of both—and, after obtaining a coufes- ■ion from him, agreed to hush the mat- Urny. brtuuately, a retired priest of Del- . with a strong desire for mischief, wind of tho matter—doubtless Ugh one of tho Pythoueses—and be- fto abuse Meuelaus in the columusof tfesseuean iVitcs. About the same [Paris returned to Troy, takiug Iicl- |th him, and Meuelaus, in his iudig- p, made the whole story public. 9 excitement create l was enormous, aris, to save his reputation, demaii- i investigation, selecting six troop- own regiment as a committee. The investigation was conducted with tUe most perfect fairness—a company of nrohers being stationed outside tho door of thft committee room, with orders to shoot every witness who did not testify in Paris’ favor. They failed, however, to ' hit Mtneluui), and were obliged to con tent themselves with instigating tho OBtnp followers to throw mud ut him. 5r Meuelaus told a straightforward story, ' whiob, when published by the Trojan Grecian papers, convinced nearly J OVtry intelligent person *»f its truth, cs- as it contained letters written by Paris, in which he expressed his guilty attachment,and remarked that “Meneluu* had conducted himself most generously toward him,” but that ho should never. " Cb 0 V ery nervous until he could ■ Helen away to Troy with him. f of course, donied that ho was Helen, he admitted, came to ith him, but it was iu order to j proof-sheets of his “Life of Pro- i." 1 [is expressions as to uervons- l certain of his letters wore due to at that bis father, the venerable had frequently been troubled afue-s, while ho himself had lor {believed that he was in danger of blow on the licud from a case 1m should ever visit the |eu Wands. As to the rest of his could not at that distance of ember what they meant, but rathCr fancied they alluded to an attack of mcBBles from which his little boyhood had Buffered. In closing his testimony he remarked that he considered Ajax a liar and a thief on general principles, and informed him that, whatever ho might •ay, no intelligent trooper would beliove Now Ajox was—as llomer represents him—one of the bravest of the brave. He wm greatly incensed against Paris, ftlid mMadod to crush him t.y making a full statement of the facts iu the caso. Re pub Abhed letters from Paris, from his matejr Gflftsai: Jim, who knew him to be guilty, and from numerous other persons. The uni lit of Paris was made as clear as y, and thereupon the troopers who Kroaligamig the matter hastily fin u verdict to the effect that, iu- |au Menelaus and Ajax had proved ■illy of a shameful crime, he was Hon ably innocent. ©port of the Committee was fol- iy general publication of slate- on the part of everybody. Ajax nelaus each made new statements terrible than their original ones, nhonescs, who had been away ou a I to Egypt, returned and made a f Bt-demout for three months, with- uission. Cassandra made her claiming that Palis was because she had originally m guilty. Helen and her wait- I both made statements, but they full of impossibilities that they »ted a'. Tho mother of Helen made her little statement, occupying for ty-eight closely-printed columns of the Troy Whir/, impartially calling everybody concerned ill the scandal liorse-thieves and drunkards, and ending with a request that tome one would appoint her brother ^Oollfbtor at Cornith. l'ubli c opinion, job at first had been somewhat fuvora- | to Paris, completely changed. There I b universal demand that the man who I been tho cause of many statements mid die. The coalition of the Greek efs was Hie result of this demand, and mer tells us how the great vengeance ! Jleavon fell upon Paris and involved his whole army of supporters iu his ruin. The original papyri from which I have taken these facts are now on their way to Berlin, and in a few weeks will doubtless bo published in full. G. W.
