A DOUBnE.EDGED swORD.

Poor Van Buren, being nobody's dog, the
Administration feel able to cudgel him ad
libitum. Without deciding whether he was
cognizant or lot Of the corruption OF his
subordinates, he is condemned on the
ground that if he didn'. know it he ought to
know it. By the same logic the Admins
tration which appointed Van Buren, is con-
demred; If they didn't know his incapacity
they ought to have known i. Aud By the
same logic, Pres' dent Grant must be held
responsible for all the widespread corrup,

public service. Slu,s fDg the g Dose is sauce
