,itherof these propositions mean. "Hun-
lred thousand dollars less hall" means
exactly the same as "half hundred best ,
United States documents" All, ye
thieves! Hide your deeds under dozen
different ciphers, with shifting keys tor
each, known only to your secret thoughts
and yet the damning truth shall come
out and the black inefaceable brand OF
the great fraud shall be fixed where it
belongs, on you!
But these were only propositions. Did
Gramercy Park reply? Instantly-but
this nation was not doomed to the foul
disgrace of having its chief magistrate
sold at auction. They who bartered and
bargained counted forces" with care,
but they failed to touch the omnipotent.
Devoured with anxiety, they waited.

But at last came the answer to Manton

unintelligible, seems to imply belle
on their part that Attorney Genera
