Thsifflohardson Affair
There is but one mitigation of the evil

lie* in the gdrairal reprobation of all the
actors In it. Aduktory, murder, bigamy,

For the assassin who :mama his domes
tic grievance the excuse for murder, we
have no tolerance; but after the cases of
Sickles and Cole, acquitted and honored'
with public sympathy and public office,
it Is very likely that McFarland may
have harbored the notion that he, too,
would win 'applause from the same
source. But the political den of the
murdered man secin ,tu have secured
from the Radical press and the Radical
politicians a sympathy that not Merely
attaches to his melancholy . late, but ex
tends to his dark share in the intrigue
that has had a disgraceful an tragic
ending.
Months ago he Insulted public decen
cy with an avowal in the Tribune, of
his relations with another man's wife
Then there was going on a fraudulent
proceeding in Indiana to obtain the ar
ticle sold in that State as a divorce. In
this, Mr. Schuyler Colfax, Vico-Presi•
dent of the United States, was a con e
°lent alder and abettor. Ills gusliinx
sympathy was recently published in the
newspapers in the shape of a telegram
to Richard%ie, with whom and the fe
male actor in the tragedy, it seem., MY
Colfax was well acquainted. Thu Day
