Schuyler COlfax.

Though the public is indebted to
Schuyler Colfax himself for the infor-
nation that ''too partial friends are
demanding his return to the public serv-
ice, there is some reason to believe that
the information, in the main, is correct.
It is certainly true that if any. of his
friends really are making such a demand
upon him they are ''too partial. They
ought to know, as Schuyler does him
self, that it cannot be, that when he went
out of politics on the ebb tide of public
opinion it was to remain out forever.
1t is a pleasure to credit Schuyler
with this knowledge because he has
been SO long in attaining it. During
the first few years of his retirement"
If he will permit us to call it such-he
strove, in his sweetly smiling way,
against fate. He was not boisterous
nor rude. He assailed nobody. He did
not even inveigh against Cakes Ames
or the fatal memorandum book,
though he called, with considerable
regularity and some feeling, upon his
Creator to judge between him and the
buyer of congressman. His method
was peculiarly his own. He kept him
self in the public eye by SYSTEMATICALLY
parading his retirement and proclaim
ing his stern and unalterable determi-
nation never to enter public life again.
Nobody wanted him to do so Every
body was quite resigned TO his retire
ment. Everybody was ready, indeed,
to forget him, record and ALL But lust
as that point was almost reached. Just
as they were ready to say. good-natured-
~, ''thank fortune Colfax's ghost is
laid at last and we shan have anv more
farewell tours from him. up he came
smiling and elastic with new declina-
ton of some nomination which nobody
ever dreamed of giving him. @
But he must have learned long since
that the people did not want him and
didn't need any further assurance of his
unwillingness to re-enter public life.
His last letter-we trust it is his LASTS
in earnest. He means it
this time-though he has himself and
his old tricks to thank if the people see
in his communication only a renewed
attempt to revive public interest in a
man who is politically as dead as the
