OCCASIONAL TRUTHS FROM REPUB-
- LICAN SOURCES. .r.

The New Haven Comm Courier, devot.
ed Republican paper, says: -s
Contractors have carried on the war
The blood OF our men. the graves of our kill
ed, the tears of our orphans and widows,
have been coined into money. They haze
sw!ndled the government out of hundreds
of millions. They have piled fortune upon
fortune. AS a distinguished eficer at Wash
ington said call the operations of this war
are managed by political swinders." HI
The Harrisburg Telegraph, published by
an Office holder under Lincoln, says:
'tThe lust of gain, the greed of power and
temptation of position, which now prevail
among very large class in the free States,
has had much 10 do with the prolongation of
the war"
Again -
"Seven out of every ten officers now in
the service deem it to their interest to pro-
long the war; simply because with the end
of the war will come suspension of posi-
ton and salary, such as these men never re-
ceved before, and never can receive in any
civil position for which their talents fit
them"
An again
added to these are large class in the
mercantile and financial world, men of i'm
nonse influence. who are amassing colossal
fortunes solely by the prolongation of the
war"
These truths should arrest the attention
Of all sober minded, we'll disposed citizens
who desire the welfare of their country
Corruption, dishonesty and gross misman-
agement have been, and still are the promi-
nent characteristics of the Lincoln Abolition
Administration. Snail these things contin-
ue? 1t is for the people to decide.

A CoPPERHEAD.-Presdent Lincoln said
in his Inaugural
Happily the human mind is 50 constitut-
ed that no party can reach the audacity Of
denying any right plainly written in the
Constitution. If by mere for ofnumbers,
mGjority should deprive minority of any
clearly written constitutional right, it might
in moral point Of view, JUSTIFY reuoiuior.
1t is quite evident that President Lincoln,
if he continued to hold the doctrine above
expressed, would now be classed By bis own
friends as Copperhead. La.

a nInn Whn Hns nIade Prorress,


Asjor General Robert C. Schenck has
resigned his commission in the army in
order to be eligible to a seat in the House
Of Representative.
The announcement Of this fact gives us
occasion to say that few Of our public men
hsve SO fully yielded personal prsjudices
snd connections to the progressive ideas
Of the times, snd SO effectively forwarded
those ideas as has General sohenck. At
theopening Of the war he was q nCon-
ssrvstive" Of the straitest sect. Preroga
tive and traditional notions weighed more
with him than did all the claims Of human
ity and sll the woes Of the oppressed
But the cOuntry's peril opened his eyes.
BE saw whence the danger 70 our institu-
lions came, and, nObly escheWing his
own past professions, passions and preju-
diess, he announced the dissemination to
DO what he could to eject radical cure Of
our social and political evils. NObly has
he fulfilled his promise. BE has been a
good soldier and a good administrator.
And no one rot informed would have sup
posed that the generous and humane ruler
who seemed to find his greatest pleasure
In knocking the shsckles from the limbs
Of the slave and unhanding the victim of
the kidnspper was the old-time, fossil
politicisn whose God was the Past and
whose political religion was concession TO
cruelty.
Msy Mr.. sshenck's future political ca
rssr be as honorable to him and as useful
TO the country as his military life has
been

The Slave Code of Maryland.

ICorrespondenee Of the Evening Post-l
--- BALTIMORE, Nov. q.
Some weeks ago Mr.. James Harris, q
negro citizen Of the United States, resi-
dent in Cumberland, Maryland, was in
dicted for assisting his slave children to
escape from bondage. He did al he could
In this prAiseworthy purpose, but in vain.
They were arrested in their fight and
brought back to bondage, where they now
are; snd their father IS at this moment in
the Peniteniary, condemned to six years
imprisonment, for asserting his manhood
and his fatherhoOd, in the rescue Of his
pe'oved children from the man-stesler's
grasp
Inc court and the jury, and hundreds
Of humane white citizens, have united in
Q petition to Governor Bradford TO par
don Mr.. Harris, and there is every hope
that be will not hesitate 10 set free this
martyr to the infamous slave legislation
Of felayeholding Maryland. Even the mas
ter Of Mr.. Hsrris's children expressed
hope that the father would escape the
meshes Of the law. This illustration Of
our infamous slave code occurring just
ct this time, when the popular vote has
consigned slavery 10 destruction in our
ntste, viii quicken the heart Of the legis-
lsture to take prompt action in the repeal Of
the oppressive chapter that blackens our
statute book.

The New York Tribune's Saturday
money article bases on the late movements
in gold the following admirable remarks,
respecting present and prospective prices
debt making, credit giving, &c. Every
body should read and ponder.
The success Of General Grant has fallen
with heavy hand upon gold, stocks and
commodities generally. Operators for
rise begin to realize what the effect of
peace is to be upon prices, but have not
acquired courage enough TO sell, but are
still looking for one more rally, when they
intend not only to sell out, but to join the
ubears," and operate for the fall, which
every one comedies will take place after
the rally, upon which he means to close
out his long interest. Prices, sfter touch
ing very low rates, rallied upon purchases
to cover short contracts but there were no
indications Of buying for q new upward
turn. The less people have to do with
speculators for q rise in anything, the
safer they will be for some time, Military
successes means g fall in gold, followed
by bsek-doWn in all farm produce and
merchandise. But il does not mean that
any man o9lARAllOu Will QeoE66be IN mag
nitnde, and debtors must be prepared 70
see q note representing war prices not
more than half paid by the proceeds Of his
property, upon which be realizes 9 peace
rates. The demoralizstion and imitation
Of prices growing out OF the financial sys-
TEN, forced upon the Government to sop
press the Rebellion, have in all probabili-
ty seen their highest points, and, varied
by spssmodio advances, prices will surely
recede to an extent sufficient to sweep
away the fortunes Of that class Of people
trading largely upon a small cash capital,
eked out by credits upon large SCALE
With peace appearing reasonably near,
the whole financial programme changes.
Instead of Fush to buy anything and ev-
erything, upon the theory acted upou since
the issue Of Government money, that any
thing was better than bank balance, the
desire will be to convert property into
money, to be reinvested in the same prop
erty after the peace panic and fall in prices
are over. A scramble Of this kind will
terminate as such a movement after an in
tense speculation always ends. Values
are wiped out with such rspidity that par
ties doing business on credit to mOdeT
ate extent, even ind their debts unpsid
after using sll their property. The mill
itary situation should warn people to be
prudent and to make as few debts as pos.
sible.
