Fixing tho Rcsponiibility For tho Lcjj
of Hirpefs Ferry.
President Lincoln's jokes, especially
when perpetrated in connection with
grnvo matters, usually bad a purpose
in them. After Lejo bad taken Har?
pers Ferry the president, realizing how
ZTcut n calamity It was to the north
era arms, d-termlncd If possible to fix
the responsibility for tho loss of the
important position.
Halleek was summoned, but did not
know where the blame lay. "Very
well," said Lincoln. "I'll nsk General
Schenck." The latter could throw no
light upon the question, further than
to say that lie was not to blnme. Mil?
roy wan the next to l>e colled to tile
presence of the commander In chief
und to enter a plea of "not guilty."
Hooker was next given a hearing, and
??righting Job'1 made n very emphatic
disclaimer of all responsibility.
Then the president assembled tin
four genera la In bis room and said to
them: ''Ooutlemen; Harpers Ferry was
; urretulered and none of you. It ^ ? ns
!? responsible. I nm very nn\* -i t>>
discover the innn who Is." Afterstrhl
lug across the room several times tin
president suddenly threw up bis bow?
ed bead ami exclaimed: "1 have it*. I
I know who is responsible!"
I "who, Mr. President: who Is ItV"
' asked the distinguished qunrtet as they
looked anxious, If nut troubled.
'/Gentlemen." said the president,
with a meaning twinkle in his eye.
"General Lee is the man."
There was a lack of mirth in tin*
laugh created, and the four generals
. took their departure with a determina?
tion that they would not again be
: pluced under suspicion.
