ELEGANT IRONY.

Judge Blacks's speech in the Belk
nap impeachment case contains some
of the finest specimens of irony we
have seen. In defending that pure
and Immaculate member of Grants
cabinet, the sturdy old Democrat
said
That the present chief magistrate
has taken large gifts from This
friends is a fact as well known as any
other in the history of the country.
He did it openly, without any at
tempt at concealment or denial lie
not only received money aud lands
and houses and goods, amounting in
the aggregate to an enormous sum,
but he cOnformed the policy of his
administration to the interests and
wishes of the doner. Nay, he did
more than that; he appointed the
men who brought him these giftO to
the highest offices which he could be-
stow in return.
Does anybody assert that Gen.
Grant was guilty of an improbable
crime in taking these presents, evea
though the receipt ofthem was fol,
lowed by official favors extended to
the giyersH Do we not all regard him
still as one of the greatest heroes and
sages the world has producedg In
stead of being impeached, and ig,
nominiously removed from office, he
