and that his creditors one and all, whether
they sold him palace, an advertisement or

absolutely no capital but impudence and
audacity, and they knew it. He had not como

Quilted miserable little shop, where the
sheriff sold him out for two or three hundred
dollars, and opened business requiring q
capital of millions. The moral points itself.
These people expected to get their money
back again. Nobody, certainly, was minded
to confer marble dwellings,, antique bronzes,
coats, boots, or newspaper putting on him
gratis. They expected him to succeed because
they knew by experience that impu-
dence and audacity are as good CAPT.
tai as a man can have in the present condi-
ton of this country. They carry him but for
q short time, perhaps, but they do carry him.
They reckoned no doubt that chances were
that thisiadventurer, being, no doubt, a good.
natured as well as vain fellow, would pay his
first friends out of his first windfalls. That
they reckOned without their host is so much
more their fault than their misfortune, that
we really have no more sympathy with them
than their debtor.
The mere fact that such a career is possible
among 80 shrewd people as ours shows thai
there is something exceedingly rotten in the
state. When our rulers, men with great
reputation to endanger, are not proof against
temptation, why should not every petty broker
have his share Of the grab gamef

THE LAST OF EARTH.

The funeral ceremonies to-day over the
ashes of the great Chief Justice will show all
that the piety Of the living can do to honor
his memory. There will be little outward
pomp or parade. 1t would i'll beft the modest
habit and the moral grandeur of his life. But
city draped in mourning and nation thought
full over its loss will testify to the extent of
the popular appreciation Of this spOtless states
man.
Our crowded columns give some impress
sion of the universal response of regret
and homage awakened by the news of his
death. The regard for him knows no bound
aries of sect or party. The whole country
unites in grief for his loss and in pride for
his lofty career and example. The representa-
ton at his funeral will be almost universal
Opponents and friends will meet at his bier
with no further differences of opinion about
his place among our worthless. Every age will
be there, from the veterans whom he startled
with his calm and logical audacity genera
ton ago, to the youths who are just entering
upon political life whose conditions
have been SO ,yreatly changed by him.
There is no danger in funeral honors
paid to him. There is little possibility of ex-
aggeration. Here, at least, is a career which
may be praised without reserve, and Initiated,
as nearly as lesser men can approach 1t, with
out fear. He strove for noble ends in noble
ways, and all the glory and praise that can
now be heaped upon his name do honor to
the only country which could have produced
him. and the only one which can worthily
