f. write this brief article is the
scvcrcst tasl, OF our editorial expert
cnoe, and it seems as though we
could willingly bate from orr given
length of life that period which it
has required TO learn the sorrowful
fact, if thereby We could avoid or
be spared the narrowing belief
which now seems irresistible, and
as true as truth, that Schuyler Coz.
fax is morally failure, and fraud.
He is what Andy Johnson would
call n Deaf DHck, and his cpitaph
will be 'Died OF Credit Mobilicr ;
and died as the fool dies" For if he
had openly ayowcd his acts, and
boldly and honestly explained them
instead Of cowardiy denying them,
how much better it v ou.d have been
Tor himself and all Of his friends.
He has been for some years Amcri
cas- model official for personal and
political integrity which renders
bis fall all the greater. and the cha
grin and disappointment Of his
friends more severe. Perhaps it
may be consoling TO him to know
that there are others in the same
