Summary

Description
English: Columbia (female personification of the USA) stands before a wall separating two groups. On the left is Boss Tweed reaching into a bag with three companions standing beside him: an arch behind is labeled "SCHOOL FOR THIEVES". On the right are the Liberal Republicans: Thomas W. Tipton, Carl Schurz, Lyman Trumbull, Horace Greeley, Reuben Fenton and one other: an arch behind is labeled "SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL". Both factions are identified with the McClellan-Vallandigham campaign of 1864: "1864 - Anything to beat A. Lincoln; 1872 - Anything to beat U.S. Grant".

Caption:

IT IS THE IMMEDIATE JEWEL OF HER SOUL.

“ Good name, in man, and woman,

is the immediate jewel of their souls;
Who steals my purse, steals trash; 'tis something, nothing;
'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands;

But he that filches from me my good name,

Robs me of that which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed.”
     —Othello, Act III, Scene III
