Mr. Collector Smythe, of New York, has 1[1(11A
resigned, notwithstanding the suggestions of many fati,,l;
ential papers. Tho Sun thinks, "had he been gifted W"
right feeling, ho would have retired at the time of It
Perry's scandal." The Nation says, "We excused 1318
for his share in that affair, however, on the ground that ,:
had just taken his first plunge into 'politics '—as this (1';
gusting jobbery and intrigue is called—and in conniving 3ia
the misappropriation of the public funds, simply ",„
what his predecessors had been doing, and what, n° i 9
the present system, any collector must do to keep '„-t
place. But the bribing of Senators in an Impeachrue-4
trial is something entirely novel, and is not, under t
existing theory or practice, a legitimate portion of
duties of a United States collector of customs. In 'cell;
suiting' upon it—if consult' ho did—Mr. Smythe dre"
from his own private fountain of wickedness, satl-11::
therefore again suggest that he either answer Mr. AVee"g
charge, or pay his neighbours a small tribute of resPe'
by resigning."
