Wanting of Probity.

--When Washington discovered the treachery of Arnold he seemed, for a moment, as it were, overwhelmed by the discovery of a crime which ruined the fame of an American General and wounded the honor of the American army. Those who were near him anxiously interrogated his looks in silence, which he broke by saying: ‘"I thought that an officer of courage and ability, who had often shed his blood for his country, was entitled to confidence, and I gave him mine. I am convinced now, and for the rest of my life, that we should never trust those who are wanting in probity, whatever abilities they may possess. Arnold has betrayed us!" ’
