history that he was general in the rebel
army, and was good fighter on the wrong
side of the war. He issupposed 10 be Q Demo-
crat, and that he is entitled to o fair degree
of immunity from assault or preiudicial
innuendo from the new Democratic organ,
which has just been started to sustain the
fortunes Of the Democratic party and its
statesmen. But scarcely had the solicitous
proprietors of the Post ended their first effort
in circulating an early hat for material aid
from Democratic Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress when they indulge the in
sinuation that he had formed a compact by
which the confirmation Of FITzsIsIMoNs
was to be compensated by his support to
RoosEvELr and PRINCE. How well the
Senator rclishes this sort of treatment at
the hands Of his newborn organ can prob
ably bo ascertained by applying at the Sem
ator's Office. That is family scrimmage
which we propose TO witness as a merp
spectator. We take no sides. II

Rcspcctnblc Thieves.

II is reported that the losers by tho for
Rcrlcs of GILMAN are listening TO PROPOSE
tlons for n compromise made by his rcla-
tlvcs The fact indicates that the forgcr Is
in some safe place Of refuge and Is trying
TO purchase exemption from the punishment
he deserves by offering to pay back to his
victims part Of their losses.
1t is not surprising that these men desire
TO get some Of their money back; and they
think the only way they can do it IL to
yield to the terms OF the criminal. But If
they so compound this felony, they will
really damage their own interests in the
long run, and incxcusahy offend public
morals. Our banks and other moncycd insti-
buttons have often been too ready TO do this
sort of thing letting of dcfaultcrs in re-
turn for "a part of their stcalings. As n
consequence, the business of forgery and
embozzlemcnt, especially when followed by
men who hold what are called highly re-
spectacle positions, has been comparatively
safe, and very lucrative. All they have to
do when caught is to compromise the un-
pleasant matter with their victims, by max
ing them good for q percentage Of their
losses, and then retire from public notice for
n time
What must be the feelings Of the smaller
thieves, the criminals the police hound
when they have stolen little money, when
they see the escape of GILMAN, the respect
able thief, who taught in Sunday school,
and passed around the contribution box in
the church, while he was engaged in his
enormous forgercs 1t is men like him
who most deserve the punishment of the
law, and it Is weak scntimcntaAty to grant
them pity, and sell them immunity because
they wear good clothes and have polite as
soclatlons and tender susceptoilitics. En-
joying so great privileges, they have less
excuse for committing crime, and their
abuse of their reputation for probity makes
their offence the more llagrant.

spirit.
We think we can see him now-the Chris
