eezvative," In view Of future spoil. It was
their object therefore to "conserTe" the

The motive that induced General
Mcclellan TO write his recent letter urging
the people Of Pennsylvania to vote for the
copperhead candidate for Governor, Is
various}y stated. One solution Is, that he
did it to be revenged On the Adminisha-
hon for putting stop to his begging peti.
ton for money from the Army Of the Po-
tomac. twill be recollected that through
his creatures, headed BY copperhead Gen.
Sykes, he undertook to assess tax Of fifty
thousand dollars On the soldiers Of the Po-
tomac Army. The Administration choked
him of, whereupon he resolved to defeat
Gov. Curtin's reelection BY openly throw
ing his influence for the disloyd candidate.
But be miserably failed in this as in all his
other strategy. He wanted the money for
electioneeriDg purposes to secure the Cop:
perhead nomination for President next
year.

- QUESTION OF PUBLEC DECENCY.
Few men in the West, if unseldsh devo-
ton and lofty philanthropy are any where
honored, deserve more at the hands of
their fellow citizens than the members Of
the Chicago Sanitary Commission. Since
the early days Of the war, which developed
the poverty OF the Government in all the
resources which make military hospitals
tole1able, and which demonstrated the i'm
, peratiye necessity Of new and more popu-
lar agencies for the comfort Of the sick
and the care Of the wounded, these men
have been at work with zeal that never
tired and ability that never was thwarted,
wholly without pay or esnoluments Of any
sort, as the almoners Of the bounty Of the
{ public thrust into their hands with prodl-
gal 1iberality, for the comfort and relief Of
the brave fellows who are fighting the bal.
ties Of the country. With singleness Of
purpose and without shade: Of
Interest which does not attach
ito any other: loyal citizen, they
have faithfully and nohly done their duty.
Two years have they given to the holy
cause and, say what disloyM Journals
: 1nay. there is no amount of money that
can measure the good that they have done.
The prayers Of ten thousand fathers and
:: mothers indebted to them for care bestowed
upon sick and wounded sons, and the hearty
and precious thanks OF the army follow
them in their good work. It is not invidi-
:: Gus to the others to single out MARX sKrs-
EER, the President OF the Commission, for
, especial praise, because he, w1th generosity
that has few parallels, has given all his
time and all his energies to the SUCCESS of
the Commission and because, under his
management, it has become that great
agency, the vastneas and benedcence of
whose operations are the wonder Of our
time. :.
