MONDAY, MAY 7, 18G0.
Tbe 'Mountain Partridge" Turn on Its
Pniiueis.
There is a sublimity of Impudence as well
as of moral grandeur. Audacity often Im-.
presses the beholder so strongly with amaze
ment, that what reason would have failed to ac
compllsh is secured by bold eflrontery. There
Is a military maxim which declares that
"Temerity Is often the soundest discretion,"
and J amis M. Scovel, despairing of cleans
ing himself of the charge of perfidy, perjury,
and treachery, has sought to win by insolunco
what could never be gained by argurnant.
When be appeared before the Bjard of Di
rectors of the Union League some ten days
since, to show cause why he should not be
susponded from that body, he read an elabo
rately prepared defense, which, after consum
ing another week ia revision and probable
submission to friends, was given to the public
in the Sunday papers of yesterday.
Tbe conduct of this rara avis is too well
known to the reader for ns to unnecessarily
waste time in repeating it here. But as his
defense is now entering on a new style of
oratory, we cannot forbear calling attention
to its beauties. The opening sentence, in
which Sir Philip Sidney, Pegasus, Par
nassus, Symposiums, and laurels aro
lamiliarly introduced, is a fine outburst of
classic knowledge ; and, had we not read it
before in an article from the pen of our ex
Minister to Hong Kong, would have deeply
Impressed us with a profound venera
tion for the acquirements of the "State
Senator." But all the playful satire con
tained tin the peroration disappears in
the succeeding sentence, when the accused
leaps up as though he would indeed escape
"like a partridge fleeing to the mountains,"
flaps his wings in the faces of the Board, and
utters a desperate appeal to memory: ''Or it
flashed across the eye of my m'nd, as I recol
lected through how many weary days in the
fall of 1864 I carried the flag of my country
and the banner of Andy Curtin through
Franklin, Vtnaneo, Jefferson, and Clarion it
occurred to me that I so nearly lost my own
election to the Senate of New Jersey, in my
anxiety Urn the Commouwealth of PennsyL
vania should stand without a stain in that
memorable campaign, that the League so
eager to reward modest merit had prepared
some unexpected, but not undeserved testi
monial for me."
We had never known before tha, Jambs
-carried or followed the flag ol his country
anywhere; but we think it more than likely
that this Is not a metaphor. We know of old
liow desirous to receive applause Scovel
was; and hence are not surprised if he really
did wave an American flag, in order by such
Clap-trap to be greeted with the coveted
round of cheers. There is something else
added to this short sentence, but the diction
grows so obscure that we really cannot deter
mine whether ''the eloquent Bbewsteo"
called him bdear Philadelphia," or whether
.somebody else was thus honored.
Having laid mythology under contribution,
a charge is made on Shakespeare. That
fc covel had read that author we know, be
cause he distinctly asked, some time sinee,
"What's he to Hecuba." etc. But now a new
draught is drawn, and "air-drawn daggers,'
"skipping spirits," and the "God of Liberty"
are conjoined. There is a peculiarity
about the production of this victim
of "The world, the flesh, and the
devil" which is noticeable, and we woald
call attention to it, so that the students of
the grammar schorls ean avoid the same error
In their compositions. When he commences
a sentence the meaning Is clear enough, but
he progresses, the idea grows fainter and
fainter, until finally overwhelmed amidst a
mass of words. But we cannot continue to
analyze this refined and perspicuous pro
duction. It is so thoroughly Scovel that
the whistle of the partridge Bounds in each
paragraph, the guns of the Cumberland seem
booming in its types and figures, while
Gibraltar is suggested because of the dim
height at which the points are placed.
While we have a column of sentences about
mythology and certain counties In the Inte
rior of Pennsylvania, yet the main, the only
question, is entirely avoided. He Bays:
'Here is nottne place in which to state my
objections to the President of the Cora Ex
change as the candidate for the United States
Senate from New Jersey. My objections to
him were perfectly satisfactory to me. I was
ready to elect any man other than the Presi
dent of the Coin Exchange. The power which
sported with the Legislature did not recede
from a portion imperiously assumed ; I could
not recede from mne ;" but does not state by
what right lie constituted himself the Judge
ol whether the nomlneo of tbe party was a
suitable man or not. Who was J. M. Soovel
that he dared to dictate to the great Union
party of New Jersey ? He was the servant of
the Republican voters of Camden. They all
favor tbe regular nominee, and how dared he
to gainsay their choice, and aet as a modern
tribune, to utter the "I forbid?" This he
does not tell us, but prates about heart and
Conscience, popular faith and duty. It Is
TDK DAILY
well to talk, but we have too often heard
that
"A man may smile and smile, and be a villain."
His whole course ia characterized by the
grossest violation of principle; the people
have found him out, and he may well cry
with'Casslo:"
"0, 1 have lost my reputation I
I have lost the immortal part of mysol , and
what remains is bestial."
He calls it a bubble, so his reputation was
one got without merit, but not less without do
serving. His imbecility will not even allow
bim to make out a consistent case for him
self. He says, in one part, that it was because
Stockton was illegally rejected from the
Senate that he refused to go into Joint con
vention; and in another, not a dozen lines
below, he declares that "I was ready to elect
any other man." What puerile and palpable
icconsistency is herein shown !
James M. hcovEL thought that with his
puny arm he could stop the advancement of
the best of the Republicans In New Jersey.
He will soon find his mistake. We are told
of an Irishman who, once visiting the Alps,
was shown the spot where the Danube origi
nated. It was there a tiny stream. "Why,"
exclaimed the son of Erin, "If I jam me hat
in there I shall shut 'em off from all water at
Vienna." Such has been Scotel's idea ; but
despite his cl ildish yet treacherous eflfor , the
great, broad, deep stream of Union will ever
flow in New Jersey, and despite all opposition
train its ends, subduing treason in the oppo
fit.on, and crushing Its perjured friends.
Colorado.
Colorado, the bill for whose admission as a
State has now passed both Houses, and only
awaits the President's signature to bee me a
law, was originally carved out of the Territo
ries of Kansas, Utah, and New Mexico. Ten
years ago there was not a white man residing
within its borders. In the summer of 1838,
a small party of explorers, attracted by the
rumors long prevalent among the Indians of
the existence of gold somewhere about tho
head-waters of the Kansas, started out from
Lawrence on a tour of discovery. They tra
velled as far west as Pike's Peak, which a
number of them a woman among the rest
ascended. Th 'y exp ored tbe country pretty
thoroughly, going north until they reached
Cherry creek, near the present site of tho city
of Denver. There they found gold in the sands
of Cherry creek, and as they thought in pay
ing quantities.
Members of the company returning to
Kansas brought back specimens of the gold,
and published the discovery. This was late
in the fall of 1838, and was the first the out
side world knew of the existence of gold in
Colorado. 1 he newly discovered region was
then known under the general cognomen of
Pike's Peak or the Pike's PeaK country. A
very large immigration rushed to Colorado in
the following spring, the most of the immi
grants Immediately returning in disgust.
Indeed, the discoveries of gold which up to
this time had been male were not of a
character to warrant the excitement that had
been aroused. The diggings about Cherry
creek were very limited in extent, and not at
all rich. Still the immigration resulted in
good, for thousands of the new-comers dis
persed over the country prospecting, and
soon In the mountains west of Denver dis
covered those rich and extensive deposits of
gold-bearing quartz which have since made
Colorado so famous.
Tbe development of Colorado has been re
tarded, partly by the war, which diminished
emigration and retarded the flow of capital,
partly by difficulties encountered in the re
duction of its ores, and still more by the dis
coveries of gold in Montana and Idaho. Its
present population is probably not far from
100,000. Recently more successful methods
of reducing its ores, and saving the gold, have
been introduced, and a more promising future
seems opening before it. Denver, its chief
city, has a population of about 10,009, and is
distant from Philadelphia by the most direct
route 1882 miles.
The Last New York Forgery.
Fokoebiis and like crimes are getting to
be so numerous among us that they scarcely
excite public attention. If some prominent
stock operator or bank officer steals or em
bezzles several hundred thousand dollars,
the particulars of the affair are read in the
newspapers with little more concern than is
caused by a big fire or a steamboat explosion.
Beyond some such exclamation as "Oil, oh 1"
"My eyes 1" "What a great rascal!" or, by
way of admiring eulogy of the smartness
that went In for a great sum instead of a
little one "A fellow might as well be hanged
for a sheep as a lamb," the general mass of
the community think little and say less about
the last grand swindle.
It is only a few months ago that a young
man, a son of one of the largest bankers in
New York and a member in the firm ol which
his lather was tho head, committed forgeries
involving millions of money. He seoms to
have been so indifferent about the mat
ter as respects . his own responsibility,
either to the persons he had wronged
or to the law he had violated, that
he never left the city, but was taken on the
public street a few days after ihe discovery of
bis crime, and bore himself throughout all the
subsequent proceedings in bis case before the
Court with an immovable sangfroid that was
perfectly marvellous. His conduct in that
regard can be accounted for on no other
theory than that dishonesty in financial ope
rations in New York had grown to be too
common for special wonder, and also, per
haps, a fancy that the great wealth and high
business position of his father might possibly
screen the forger from the social and legal
consequences of his enormous frauds. Nor
was young Ketchum much out in his calcu
EVENING TELEGRAPH.
lations touching the sympathy his situation
would excite. He was not only powerfully
defended before the court that tried him,
but since his convlct'on and imprisonment
Importunate appeals have been made by cer
tain load ng merchants and bankers In New
York to the Governor of that State for a
pardon.
Hence, there need be no surprise at the
forgeries Just perpetrated by a New York
broker named Jonx R )ss. There was not
much in the case of Mr. KsrcuuM, Junior, to
deter anybody from Imitating his exploits;
and though Ross was more modarate in his
aspirations, he played, nevertheless, for a
pretty nice stake (about $300,000), and had
the sharpness to make off with his booty.
Whether he will bs caught or not Is doubtful,
whiloitis pretty certain that if takn and
brought to trial, thera will bo more money,
zeal, and influence spent 10 save hitn from tbo
whip of Jusilce, than to convict and punish
bim.
There Is one fact in the transactions of
Ross that deserves a remark or two. Re
port sajs:
"Some days slime, it would appear, arrange
ments were made Oy the lorger to purchase tit7ty
thousand dollar in gold from the lirm, and on
Wednesday afternoon Rom called iii person to
receive the I tin On. While the money was beiri'
counted the purchaser pro4uce.l a ch'jck tor
sixty-lour ihou.sHiid and odd dollars, Iravnon
the C'HitinentHl Bant with which Rjh was
known to have an account to tho order of tht
drawer, and by him duly endorsed. As this
chock bore tbe certification stamp ol' the teller
of the bank, a prudent member of the nrm sent
a lad to the Continental Bank to assure himseli
of the genuineness of tho certificatiou. The orst
teller of the financial institution at which the
document wa presented, examined the paper,
and at ouce pronounced the same duly certi
fied." This shows how carelessly banking busi
ness, involving thousands o' dollars, is done
in New Yoik. It would seem almost impos
sible that the first teller of a bank, with his
suspicions aroused by circumstances, could
declare genuine a forgery of his own certifi
cation of a check. And yet this actually
occurred, according to the above-qaoted
statement. If, therefore, it shall be concluded
that the act of the teller could not have been
the result of want of care or skill in his office
then the only other hypothesis left is, that the
teller was an accomplice ot Ross in the for
gery, and this would appear 10 be the opinion
that has already obtained in New York. One
of the papers there says :
"It is rumored that the teller of the institu
tion, beine subsequently called upon to produce
his certification book-, to ascertain if tbe number
ot tl e check was to bn tounl thereupon as an
ovidence of its genuineness, declined to do so,
and many indiuu to tue belief that the paper
passed upon Messrs. Cbonise & Co. is Qonuine."
Such instances b' crime in business circles
are fitted to cause a verv general feeling of
distrust, and to hinder the movements oi
trade and finance to the extent that confi
dence in men's honesty is weakened. But
forgeries and peculations will multiply, unless
a wholesome public sentiment is exerted to
prevent them; and that can never be, so long
as reputedly respectable men try to potect
criminals like young Ketciium from judicial
condemnation, and, failing in that, next seek
to have them pardoned.
Equity the Best Policy.
It should not be forgotten that, in our en
deavors to have the late Rebel States recon
structed upon the basis of justice and essen
tial republicanism, we are laboring for the
best interests of all the people of those States.
The luting welfare of the late slaveholders
and Rebels themselves will be best consulted
by the triumph of equity. They do not see it
so, perhaps, yet that is no reason why equity
should not be enforced by the nation for the
common good.
The oligarchic class at the South cannot
be trusted with even its own best interests.
It is short-sighted and infatuated. To gratify
its pride and anogance it would, if left to
itself, bring tuln upon its own head. The
Rebellion is proof of this. No step could
have been more suicidal for the South, yet the
ruling class plunged into it reckless of results
So, too, with regard to the question of labor
at the South, upon which its very Ufa as a
community depends, the ruling class is
acting with its accustomed fatuity. Instead
of seeking to make the blacks, who form the
great mass of the laboring population, con
tented, and attaching them to the soil, they
are doing everything possible to oppress and
degrade them. Some are even so demented
as to wish to drive them out of the country
altogether. If left to themselves, the late
slaveholders would forever ruin the material
Interests of the South.
Again, everybody can see that it is for the
interest ol the South to secure as great an in
flux at possible of Northern emigration and
capital But, instead of actio so as to secure
this desirable end, the ruling class is doing
everything It can to create such a state of so
ciety and public sentiment that no Northern
man will leel safe in living there, or in sending
a dollar of money there for investment. Even
their newspapers are becoming filled again
with their old tirades of abuse concerning tbe
" Yankees," and are directly inciting the Igno
rant rabble to their former deeds of violence
and lawlessness. Upon every ereat question
which Involves the future welfare and pro
gress of the South, her ruling classes are ex
hibiting a degree of folly painful to contem
plate. It is quite evident that the measure of our
action towards these people should be, not
their own querulous demands, not their preju
diced likes or dislikes, but our own sense of
justice and right. We have the power, and
the moial and political right to use it, and we
ought to use it for the highest good of the
whole people. If these Rebels, who have so
lately laid down the arms with which they
sought to overthrow the Government, are
dissatisfied with our actions, let them be dis
satisfied. Their opinion, in view of their late
action, is of but little consequence. It is
vastly more important that equity and the
public good should be secured.
PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY,
East Tennessee. Tbe movement for
erecting the new State of East Tennessee is
being vigorously pressed. Ihe Knoxvllle
Convention has adopted, with almost entire
unanimity, an address , to the Legislature of
the State favoring a division. East Tennes
see is emphatically loyal, wollo the western
part of tho State is quite as stron?ly disloyal.
A bitter state of feeling exists between the
two sections, and tbe movement for a division
is very popular among the loyal people.
Should the consent of the Legislature be ob
tained to the proposed erection of the new
State, the matter will then come before Con
gress for Its approval or rejection.
A CouKTERFEiTEit was lately convicted
on the testimony of a colored witness in the
United States District Court at Newborn,
North Carolina. Under tbe old conservative
regime this criminal would have escaped, as
the testimony of a colored person could not
be rtceived. This was a (rood arrangement
for criminals, but a bad one for justice.
