Spofford, the librarian of congress, was several thousand dollsrs behind in his accounts. and on in- vestigotion was ordered, which developed thsiloct that receipts irom 26,000 or 27,000 copyrights had never been accounted for. This discrepancy extended over e long period of years. dud Mr. Spefford was ex- tensivsl sdvertised us defaulter. No- body w o knows Mr. Spobrd would be- lieve him guilty. It wss impossible for 3 men of his character to have spproprieted government money to his own use. al- though he could offer no explanation. Like many literary men, he is entirely without business ability, is notoriously sh- aent-minded. and, conscious of his own in- te rity, is unsuspicious of others. ha nnturnlnnncluninn was. therefore.
