Howell Cobb as a G. O. NJ.

San Francisco Chronicle.
We are content to forget and most old soldiers
are generous enough to teach their children that
they have nothing to forgive. But it is not
meant that, for this sake we propose to go back
the truth of history. 1t is not fair. it is not
seemly, that Mr.. Davis should go about talking
of Howell Cobb as "that grand old man." He
was nothing of the kind. Whatever other lead
ers of the Confederacy may have BEEN he was a
sneak. He was Secretary of the United States
Treasury in December, 1860. when it was
discovered that there was no money on hand
to pay the January interest Mr.. Cobb was sent
for to New York to take counsel on the emer-
gency. He came, but he would do nothing. Be
would not lift hand to save the public credit
He laughed at the predcament in which the Ma
ton stood. He sneered and jeered at the proba-
bility of the January coupons going to protest
He SO disguised the subtreasurer, John j. Cis-
co. loyal Democrat, that that official thought it
due to his manhood to rebuke him. and with that
rebuke in his ear he returned to Washington,
leaving Mr. Cisco and other loyal men to borrow
money to save the credit of the government at
per cent. per month. To call such vile traitor
grand old man" is to set premium on recre-
ancy and dishonor
