greatest surprise in the trade, on account of
the high standing of the firm and its reputed
wealth. ii. Williston Knight. junior part
ner, is said to have embezzled over 500. 900
of the firms money and fled to Europe.
Knight was well known character about
town, always had plenty of money at his
command, and particularly affected society
actresses. He was known in the fast set of
young men, but it was supposed that the
profits of his large business enabled him to
spend at least So, 900 year. Besides his
connection with the firm, he was treasurer of
the Williston Company of East Hampton,
Mass, manufacturers of covered buttons.
The firm ard company being almost identi-
cal, he used both the money of the firm and
funds of the company for his own use though
the notes which he drew himself as firm and
company notes. he disposed of them in Wall
street and pOcketed the money. He was also
a heavy Spectator in Wall street. and lost
considerable sums there in the decline in
stocks a few months ago.
Mr.. H. G.. Knight, senior partner of the
firm and father Of the fugitive, said TODAY
that the suspension of the firm was wholly
due to the speculations and financial difficult
ties of II. Williston Knight. He could not
tell definitely the amount, as the .nvestiga.
ton of the books has not yet been completed,
but he did not think il would exceed So. 600.
and S30,00o was partially secured. 1t was
learned that young Knight was accompanied
by an actress when he fled.

a perspicuous history of the two decades from
1861 to 1881, without reviewing at some
length the important and often tangled course
of events, which brought about the political
revolution of 1860, resulting in the defeat OF
all the old political organizations, and giving
the control Of the country to a new, radical,
enthusiastic and progressive party The
causes of this revolution. properly analysed.
will be found to be remote.-stretehing back
at least forty years. and yet steadily and cen
tinuously tending towards the elimination
which was reached in the election of Mr.
Lincoln to the Presidency. The incidents of
the intervening struggle in Congress the con-
nection of one phase of the contest with an
other,-not seen at the time, but in retrospect
distinctly visible.-present field of interest
ing inquiry. necessarily Introductory to the
work now in hand.
The encouragement to publish any histori-
cal work is found in the beliefthat it supplies
what was before inaccessible. The history
of the events now presented is scattered
through $50 volumes of the ponderous records
of Congress, and in the scarcely less vol
luminous reports of committees of both Sen
ate and House. In this vast mass OF docu-
ment-, a complete series OF which Is probao-
ly, not contained in a single library outside
the National Capitol. it is no light labor to
trace even one measure through the various
evolutions of legislation. To present the en-
tire period within limits adapted TO the gen.
eral reader and upon the plan briefly outlined
in the foregoing paragraph, will, it is believ-
ed, contribute to a more general and intelll-
gent understanding of an important political
era and to a truer sense Of the patriotism the
courage and the craftsmanship which sustain
ed the nation under unprecedented trials, and
guided il safely through dangerous crises.
