ability in his high Office. not practical
bility in his high Office The misun-
derstanding was due, as Major DICK e1-
plains, to mistake of the telegraph.
This statement of the accused is fully
sustained by versions of the resolution
printed subsequently to that on which
we had depended. The Major properly
spoke Of the President as one who has
shown what he can do in high office, not
as one who is practicable, like bridge
or scheme, or an outlet, or a scenery
pump on the stage.
In justice to Major DICK, accordingly,
we publish the fact Of his honorable &C.
quittal as conspicuously as we exhibited
the incorrect version of his masterpiece.
He leaves court without stain on his
verbal character. His reputation as q
word-painter is undimmed.
Our compliments to the Major, and our
congratulations upon his proved ability
to write the English language with ele-
giant precision.
