The World speaking of Mr.. s0hurz, says Rest
less, ambitious, hypercritical, and hypocritical,
with more ability TO tear down than seven men,
including himself, have to build up, he has as
sumed virtues of which he is utterly innocent.
He made a pretty speech for reform at the Gin
cinnau convention Of 1872, which he had twenty
three times rewritten, and then proceeded in haste
to undo his speech. In 1876, after the nomination
no man had hired him. He met Mr. Hayes In the
lunch room at the Columbus depot and suggested
to the Republican candidate for the Presidency
that he the reiormer) would be for Hayes aud re-
form provided Mr.. Hayes would put in the Cabinet
man really representing the pure white ideas of
this, with some satisfactory eNpcitness as to
the name of that representative of reform and
SChurl stunped the country for Hayes. Mr..
Tilden could have secured his services by the
promise of the Berlin mission, but Mr. Tilden
would not give the promise. These matters are
not germane perhaps to the duty of Congress
touching the title Of the enormous tracts OF lands
held after a lapse Of title by the Northern Pacific
Railway Company, but whenever hypocrisy Is eX-
posed there Is u public gain. Mr.. Schur2 has been
ful Pharisee. But "WOe unto you, Scrlbes and
PharisoCs, hypOcrites, for ye shut up the kingdom
OF Heaven against men; for ye neither go In your
selves neither suffer ye them that are entering to
go in. Woe unto you, Scrbes and PhariSees,
hypoCrites, for yU dcvour widows houses and for
a pTetGnsC make long prayers: therefore yc shall
receive the greater damnation Woe unto you,
ScribeS and phGrisees hypocritcS for ye pay tithes
of mint and anise and cummin and have omitted
