Col. POLK In jail.

Saturday morning last officers of the
law brought our unfortunate defaultinp
State Treasurer, Col. M. 7. Polk, as q
prisoner to Nashville, and at the depot
there we're gathered several hundred
persons to catch glimpse of him. Af
ter melancholy meeting with old
friends and familiar acquaintance, he
was carried Immediately to Jail, where
cell had been nicely prepared for him,
and where he will have to await, we
suppose, the course of the law under
which the Grand Jury have already in.
dicted him for cmbezzlement. A. To
the details Of his arrest, his efforts to es.
cape, his almost success, his Journey
homeward, &c, we have not room in
the Home Journal. 1t is beyond all
question that he is incarcerated in mil
when but for the curse of q greed for
money, which he did not really need,
he could have been in the bosom of his
family, with the wife who, alone, per.
haps, of all who were faithful to him in
his hours of prosperity and happiness is
now faithful to him in his hours of ad.
versity and misery. But her tears aud
the plants of her heart must not ncu.
trallze the justice of the law which cali
not nor should make distinction. He is
guilty Of robbing the State of money
placed in his hands for safe-keeping and
he deserves punishment according 10

rhine.

The Moral.

Our clever friends Messrs. Doak, of
the Cincinnati News, and Watterson, of
the Courier-Journal have passed some
pointed tits at each other as to whether
the "low-taxers" or "public-credit" men
are responsible for the late robbery OF
our State treasury by Col. Polk. Now,
the Home Journal regards all this war
of words as unnecessary and calculated
to do no good. But Watterson does put
in good lick when, in speaking ofsome
who +" bawlel public credit" whilst
they were robbing the treasury--he
says:
1.-THE moral is, don't trust to profes
sions and beware Of appearances, wher
men brag of their honesty and womcl
of their virtue

we are all vlrtuous until we are
tempted, and tits very easy for the av
erage newspaper writer to pump up sur.
face morality at SO much per line-but,
of all the saints who are holding up their
hands in horror over Marsh Folks fall,
We wonder how many could be safely
trusted with absolute control of half a
million of somebody else's money! DIR.
X. l.. G. White in Lebanon Herald.
Not many, we fear, not even among
White men, especially if our judgment
were no better as to honesty than was
that of yours, DR.. White, when you said
last year that Marsh Folks name was
enough "without bond" If you were
a candidate for such trust, Doctor, we
would certainly display better judgment
than you did and require a half million
Of solvent money deposited in bank
But, seriously: You state almost u
postulate when you say "we are all vir.
tuous until We are tempted; and no
one knows himself until he Is tempted.
Many there are in prison to-day for
theft who would be first-class citizens
had they been favored by birth or for
tune as were those who ride in style and
90 in fashion. Many a lovely, high
born lady draws her dress aside as she
passes one who is no worse than she
would have been if both had been like
wise tempted:
" Ye sec your state wi theirs compar'd,
And shudder at the niler,
But cast moments fair regard,
What makes the mighty differ?
Discount what scant occasion gave,
That purity ye pride in,
And whats oft mair than n the lavc)
Your better art o hiding
You see, Doctor, we are not one of
the saints you or Burns allude to-no
"surface" morality about us. You and
ourself were and are good friends of the
defaulting Treasurer. We all know his
honorable connection as to birth, his
bravery in battle, and his good heart.
But his sin is the deeper than if he had
not been so blessed with forcrunners of
happiness Like unto Rasselas, the
prince of Abyssinnia, he had enough of
all that is necessary for temporal COM
fort. Thousands would have been
made happy by the crumbs he could
have let fall from his table without be-
ing missed. Aye, if robbed of them,
"Hc that is robbd, not wanting what is
stolen,
Let him not know it, and he's not robb'd at
all"
But the State wanted, needed this
money which had been entrusted to
Col. Polk. 1t was not entrusted to
him to speculate in or loan to irrespon-
sible persons or to use for any purpose
whatever for himself, for he had plenty.
1t is pity, and we are sorry for it, and
we are no saint-neither are you. But
we grieve not so much for the money
gone, but for the loss of that which was
of more value to Col. Polk than all his
Mexican mining stocks, friends, family,
&C., his good name.
He wore wreath of fame,
| And now n wreath of shame.
