PINNEY AND HIS BUDGET OF LIES.

! cunning, ingenious IN eXpedlents and gifted
with more than common adroitness. He
has turned out very commonplace rogue
| illustrating as all rogues do, sooner or later,
that their smartness is simply shamelessness
and that they are mere ignorant bunderers
at best. Pinneys sharpness is only the
sharpness of fellow who has learned some
knavish tricks, and who thinks the wrong way
| is the best way. As all rogues always dis
cover, if they live long enough, the rascally
| shortcut is at the outcome the longest way
! round. For the reason that William b. Carr
has been beied and slandered with persistency
and impunity by a certain class Of news
papers; because it was the fashion to berate
and abuse him; and because Pnney was
foolish enough to think that amy charge
brought against him would stick that
| returning prodigal has attempted to shift the
burden of his own scampish transactions onto
Carl.s broad shoulders As the assault has
terminated, we think Mr.. Carr has every
reason to congratulate himself that it was
made He had been assaied SO long, SO

by every idle gossip and petty scribbler, that
his silence almost justified the unfavorable
conclusions concerning him. Every one who
has read the evidence III the Pnney case has
seen how utterly fimsey, false and baseless
