Ye ssTimes+ 6 Tinker Skcdad-
a1let11 to Canada.

As fitting finalc to the nonscusical sell per
pctrated upon the Chicago Times by the
plenipotentiary Of JEFF. Davis, comes the Nh
nouncement that the hero has taken sudden
fight to Canada His departure was no doubt
greatly accelerated by Tie numerous letters
and dispatches, which were pouring in upon
our citizens, and the police department from
all parts Of the United States, charging him
with various Kinds OF swindling, from borrow
ing SIS Of q brother in the Methodist Church,
whom he had deceived us to his real character,
to obtaining money in considerable sums by
selling worthless drafts drawn on the Treasu-
~ Department at Washington. When Greene
was released from the custody Of Surt Braid
ley, It WAS upon the promise Of his attorneys
and Of the 7'i,ncs' man that he should be forth
coming when wanted, Of course, he will be
on hand.
That the Times in the terrific bowling which
it made, based upon this Greene sensation, had
traftorons and unhoIy object in view y, Which
it designed to carry, out, is uniyersai!y tqo ne,
nfefs ee saG bdTs fbpongh On
him, will effectualIy prevent the secession OF,
gan from PLAYING the roll primarily designed
forit The Times must need the sympathy OF all
it's syupathizers in this intense affliction, and
! fnnbioTn 70 lie 4 G. C,'s, held in its office on
| Saturday afternoon, was called. Verify, the
great 81. Wesley" has suddenly become, with
one fell swoop, "inyiEiDle' Greene. We can
not do better than to commend to the 1tnAS
man the homely but oft-quotcd attage,
+.n at first yon don't succeed,
Try. try again"
