Their investigations should not be confined to
Brown county. but a rowing commission put in
their pockets, to go wherever they can hear of the
existence of any secret political society. If they
can find one, we would suggest that they be initia-
ted into the order, so that they may fully under
stand all its mysteries. We trust the Governor will
accede to the proposition, so that the excited imagi
nations of himself and Judge HUGHES about Sc
cret attempts upon the peace and dignity of Ind.-
ana and themselves may be Quoted. 1t is i'm
pOrtant that the digestion of these distinguished
gentlemen who are laboring under the hallueina-
ton that all the patriotism and all the wisdom OF
this good commonwealth is concentrated in them,
should not be disturbed by any fears of secret
plots. They should be relieved speedily so that
they may sip their wine and sleep in peace.

The Tax Bill N Machinery for
Collecting the Taxes.

Every one will be interested in it in some way,
ether as a taxpayer or Oflice-seeker, or a politi-
cal economist.
To carry the act into effect a small army of
officers will be appointed, over whom a Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue will be placed. The
salary of this official is fixed at 81 900 per an
mum. The officers under his direction, and their
duties, will be. in brief, as follows:
FirSt-A collector for each collection district,
to be appointed by the President, with the con-
sent of the Senate, whose duties will be to col
Ject for the Government the taxes to be paid in
said district. The compensation for his services
is in the form o. commissions on the amounts
collected.
Second-An assessor for each assessment dis
trict, to be also appointed by the President.
whose duty il will be to furnish the collector with
a list of the persons to be taxed and the articles
on which the taxes are levied. His salary is to
be three dollars per diem when engaged in prep
aration, and FIVE dollars when IN the actual per-
formance of his duties as assessor. He is also to
receive a commission of one dollar for each
hundred names on the tax list.
Third-Deputy collectors, to be appointed and
paid by collectors. Their duties are to be to act
as assistants.
Fourth-Assistant assessors. to be appointed
by assessors. Their salary is fixed at three dol
lars per day, in addition to which they will re-
ceive the same commission as assessors.
Fifth-lnspectors ofliquors, &c, to be appoint
ed by collectors. whose duties will be TO measure
and examine the proof Of liquors removed for
sale, for which they are to receive fees from the
owner thereof, the extent of which is to be fixed
by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
The officers above classified are to carry into
effect the provisions of the bill, and are to be held
strictly accountable for their actions. Collectors,
through whose hands must pass very large Gums
of money, will be required to give heavy bonds
for an honest performance OF their duties. In
some districts il is probable that bonds to the ex-
tent OF 5000 GOO or S300,U00 will be required

said to have appeared quite bewildered. He threw
forward his third brigade to step the rebels pur-
suing Stahel, and placed batteries in position
where whole regiments of rebels could be fred
on. Towards four O'Clock p. NJ. the enemy was
falling back, as Blenker had brought the second
brigade in position. 1t would have been an easy
matter to beat jackson, as his troops were utterly
exhausted, had not Fremont peremptorily order
ed him to fall back Immediately, and leave the
battlefield, with our dead and wounded in the
possession of the enemy.
Fremont has not even mentioned in his dis
patches the name of Blenker, who was in the
thickest Of the battle, though the latter, by this
unauthorized advance, is said to have saved the
army. General Blenker threatens to resign if
the Government does not do him justice, and his
officers threaten to do the same.-N. Y. Herald.

Good.

A delegation Of Senators and Representatives
went down to the camp of Gen. MCCLELLAN the
other day to inspect matters and things generally
prosecuting the campaign. Our army before
Richmond is in front of a willy, sagacious, and
perhaps overwhelming foe. At such a crisis a
commanding General las no time to pay atten-
ton to civilians or to listen to their advice. We
are happy to hear that Gen. MCCLELLAN refused
to receive them and probably intimated to them
that they had better attend to their legitimate
duties in Washington. 1t would have been bet
ter still if he had impressed them into the service
and compelled them to do the d~rudgery of camp

More work for the United states Sen.
nrn.

As the Senate has already distinguished itself
by ordering an investigation into the action of
General Banks in allowing a little negro boy to
ride on an army wagon, and another investigation,
eliminating in an official correspondence .in re-
gard 10 the causes why General Mcclellan did
not use the little house of General Lee (Which
holds only about ten people paeked) as y military
hospital, and. as these subjects are now pretty
thoroughly exhausted, We suggest to Senator
Wade and Company that a committee be appoint
cd to inquire whether General Mcclellan uses the
noble, loyal, intelligent negroes of Virginia to
black his boots, wash his dirty shirts and cook
his ~victuals. 1T General Mcclellan is guilty of
thus infringing upon the rights of the negroes on
account OF a silly idea that a white man is as good
as IA black Secretary Stanton should Immediately
issue a bulletin upon the subject, in his usual
style and with his Characteristic energy. The as
tute Chairman Of the Military Committee; Gov.
Andrew, of Massachusetts; the Secretary of War
and other dignitaries should then write letters
about it. and General Mcclellan should be in
stantly deprived of his command, and some Gen
eral appointed who, though ignorant of military
science, is so sound on the Abolition goose that
he will not only black hisown boots and wash his
own shirts, but will also black the boots and
wash the shirts of all aristocratic contrabands who
may do him the honor to come within his lines.
Will the Senate please attend to this matter i'm
mediately and not defer it on account of any
trouble it may cause General Mcclellan, who, of
course. has nothing to do but to answer silly let
tiers, or on account of any public business, which,
in comparison with the negroes, is, like poor
Toots, cot no consequently. Y. Herald.

there is no retraction of the statements Of our
correspondent in regard to the attentions of the
brokers to Governor MORTON, nor to the fact
that he actually urged our Loan Commissioners
to put the bonds they had tor sale in the hands
of those very brokers' connected with the swim
die, but simply a correction as to the time. We
say "siRce the fraud came to his knowledge
Governor MoRroN has no communication or
Intercourse with them, mark We, as "1e are adj
Uised." And the correction that Gov. MORTON
'has never directly nor indirectly counseled or
suggested "A postponement of the prosecution of
the guilty parties" was made with the same quail
ifcation. We oere 0dUiSed by Messrs ROSE and
KIBBY that such was the case, and upon their
authority and assurance, as the representatives of
Governor MoRi on. we allowed him the benefit of
his own statement through our columns. So
much about "signing a libel" We gave Gov
ernor MoRroN, through his representatives, the
opportunity to say that he ReUer had the inter-
course with the brokers as stated by our CORES
pendent, offering to publish it, but he did not
think it best to take advantage of our kindness.
We have made it a rule of our editorial life to
correct any personal Misrepresentation we may
make. Nothing is ever gained by persisting in
erroneous statements. The Journal has neither
the generosity or manliness to do common justice
to an opponent.

Senator BRowSING, of Illinois, has made a
speech against any cOnfscation whatever, repre-
s%enting the conservative elements. 1t is reported
that he represents the views of the President, who
will veto the confscation bill if it passes. All the
proposed confscation bills offered in Congress are
but another name for bills for the abolition of
slavery. We will see how honest a Republican
Congress and President are in their de %laratiOns
that they do not intend to interfere with slavery
in the States where it exists.

secret Political Organizations.

In the 18th Of June Convention a letter was
read from the Hon. JAMES HUGHEs. addressed to
His Excellency Governor MORTON, in which it
was plainly intimated that secret polite, Il socie-
ties were being organized for disIoyal purposes.
With an affectation Of magesterial dignity, His
EKcellency cautioned the members of said or
CARNATIONS, as well as the rest Of mankind. to
beware of the consequences of such alliances.
We are now, as We ever have been, opposed to
all secret political societies. However laudable
may be the object in forming them, they are
generally perverted to improper uses. More
than this. they are opposed to the spirit of our
institutions. The intimation of Judge HueHEs
as to the existence Of such associations may be
true. We have been advised that there was one in
this city some year or more ago, and il may vet be
existence, a sort Of committee of vigilance, the
object Of which was to enforce every one to be
lieve in the immaeulacy of the Chicago platform.
In some portions of the State citizens have been
prosecuted for opinions sake, while discharging
every duty to the Government We should not
be surprised if such prescriptions should develop
organizations for the conservation Of the rights
guaranteed by the Constitution, and which the
public authorities, either through design or inn
potence. have failed to secure to the citizen. In
this connection, We call attention to a communi-
ton in ~to-day's paper from JAMES S. HESTER,
Esq, in reference to Judge HUeHEs's givings out.
He, in behalf of the people Of Brown county,
invites the State authorities to appoint a
commission TO investigate the matter, so far as
they are concerned, offering to pay the expenses
incurred in so doing. We hope the offer will be
accepted. and that the Governor will appoint
upon it rampant Republican Know Nothings 1--WE
m~ean>members Of that famous order) to investi-
gate the affair, 50 that the people may know
whether secret political associations exist in Indi-
ana, and n 80. the character and objects thereof

BIenker's Brigade in The Battle of
Cross Keys.

1t is claimed General Blenker saved General
Fremont's corps at the battle OF Gross Keys from
being outfanked by jackson. 1t is charged that
since the arrival of General Schurz. intrigues
against General Blenker had been set on foot.
Blenker and his Generals and officers threaten to
resign, if Schurz should be assigned to the best
German brigade. 1t is said that the President
expressed n desire that this should be done for
Schurz. The order given to General S.ahel at
the battle of Cross Keys is construed as a slight
to Blenker, who was with his second brigade in
the rear. and was not informed of the movement.
At noon Stahel's brigade had been nearly cut to
pieces. Blenker, hearing of the rout, appeared
on the field without order from Frem ont, who is

The slower Fraud.

We learn from one who ought to know the
facts in the case, that only $500. 900 of the fraud
ulent bonds were issued by SLOWER before he
went out of ofice-the balance after that time.
The Journal states that "the total amount of
fraudulent bonds issued is a little over g, $780,,
900" so that over two millions we're m~anufac-
tured after STovER's official term expired. That
print also pays the following doubtful compli-
ment to Colonel HUDsON, the present Agent of
State: Few men would have dared such a risk
as be has for the good of the State, and instead
of oblOquy and suspicion he deserves credit for
his motives, however much we may doubt the
prudence of his policy" He discovered the
fraud a few days after he went into office, the
Journal admits, but for nearly a year he with
held a knowledge of the fraud from the State
authorities here, and when he did advise
them, they helped him keep the secret near six
months. The same authority says that from the
moment he learned the fraud, Governor Nor
TON has been the unrelenting, unyielding prose
cutOr Of the guilty parties" but New York
stood between him and his purpose, and he could
do nothing but bide her WILL" Submissive, very.
An exposure of the fraud, too, would have given
the guilty parties, it is said, an opportunity to es-
cape. They didn't attempt to escape, though,
when the fraud was exposed. and if Governor
MORTON was not an officer of New York, any
citizen can file a complaint with a magistrate,
which be is bOnnd to take notice of. The fact
is, an arrangement was made with SLOWER that
the matter should be kept Estate secret if he
redeemed the outstanding fraudulent bonds, and
if that agreement had been complied with by
him and his confederates. the outside world
would never have been enlightened about the
transactions in the State Agency office.

al declare it upon my responsibility as a Sena
tor of the United States. that the liberties of this
country are in great danger to day from the cor
ruptions and from the proficacy pr%acticed in the
various departments of the Government than hey
are from the open enemy in the field"
So said John P HALE short time ago in the
Senate. The 18th of June Convention had not
a word of rebuke against the extraordinary profit
gaey and corruptions developed by Republican
Congressional committees, and even the Presi-
dent, in a special message to Congress, excused
and assumed the responsibility of them. And to-
day it is published that another Republican Sena-
tor is up to his elbows in the corruption fund.
When such corruptions are tolerated by a large
party-a ruling party-may not every good citi-
zen fear that the liberties of the country are in
danger from that source?

AboIitionism opposed TO the Union.

The spirit and pun pose of abolitionits is the
same to day that it ever was. 1t has always been
opposed to the Union-always seeking to break
it up. At meeting of these disloyalists in New
York, in 1859, they enunciated the following SEN
timeuts;
WHEREAS, The dissolution of the present and
imperfect and ingloriOus Union between the free
and slave States would result in the overthrow of
slavery, and the consequent formation of a more
perfect and glorious Union without the incubus
of slavery: therefore
ReSOlUed, That we invite a free correspondence
with the disuniOniSts of the South, in order to
devise the most suitable way and means to secure
the $50 d~evoutly to be wished"
They would announce these sentiments now
just as boldly, did they not expect to crowd the
administration into making this wal a war of
emancipation and equality to the negro, whatever
the consequence might be to the white man or
this Government of white men.
