He well understands that he cast the die fir empire or for failure that must malte him alien to the country and the world, aid that he lost ; and he knows that he is to day the" mest powerless of ail men in tKe land to retrieve thc for tunes of those who ioiiowf.d him to bereavement and sacrifice. He reads aright the inexorable judgment that makes him execrated for the Confed eracy, while his equally guilty Bubor d nates have been welcomed to thc fitted calf. His vice-president who followed thc slave empire alar oil when doubt and darklier gathered about it, made haste to scramble over the ruins of the Confederacy and re gain the seat in Washington from which he seceded with Davis tc aid ir- guiding rebclliou.
