The ketch ums-I Political An
se lecedcnts.

One Of the coolest pieces OF impudence We
have seen lately is the attempt of the New York
Times to make political capital out of the failure
OF ketchum, Son K Co., by represeting these
gentlemen as unpopular among the supporters
of the Government" with other similar intima-
tons that they we're enlisted with the opposite
political party. The truth is that Mr.. Morris ket-
chum was the chief adviser Of Secretary Chase
in New York. and a great advocate of the pecn-
liar financial system which the Government
adopted. even if he may not be considered its
father. He was not only q chief adviser. but also
. trusted Government agent, employed IN many
OF those private transactions which We have not
approved, but which may have commended them
selves to the Times. II is true that the present
Assistant Treasurer here employs more fire.
quently other agents. but Mr. ketchum may be
considered one OF the leaders of his party. and a
chief apostle of the paper money system. The
statement that the house was carving a large
amount OF gold and thus seeking to smbsrrsss

fact. Ii was carving q large amount of bogus
gold certificates, but they we're bogus because il
