Corruption at Washington.

A Washington letter says: 81 don't mean
anything, of course; but two or three things
have come to my knowledge which l will
record merely by way of amusement. A
small bit Of paper was recently picked up
in one of the executive departments, which
contained these imposing words: IfF. will
put the matter through he shall have ten
thousand dollars, Again, there is clerk
in one of the departments whose annual
salary amounts to $1,000, and this person
drives span Of horses which cost him l6,
90 dollars and it is not long since he ex-
pended the sum of thirteen thousand dol
lars upon house for his own occupation
The inference is that the business of clerk
ing it for the government is sometimes
slightly profitable. And here l am remin-
ded of a beautiful game which some of the
wicked allege will probably be played to-
wards certain member of Congress. The
said gentleman is said to have perfectly
just claim against the government, and,
as he is noted for not swearing by all that
the Secretaries do, he has received gen
tie hint to the effect that, if the thirty ghth
Congress is properly organized, he will not
have to wait his dues otherwise, otherwise.
But this is a queer world and these are queer
times.

The Late Elections.

We have no disposition to agitate anew
questions that are for the present definitely
settled by the elections in the North. The
peace Democracy %y small portion OF
the true Do1GCr tic strength Of the North
we can 4 afford to leave to the stern re
buks OF the recent defeat the party has met
with on account of their mistaken position.
The vote in favor of the Republican candi-
dates Notwithstanding the ':shock to the
prejudices" of people, occasioned by the
acts of the Administration admitted by the
MteNigencer of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES that as
the war must be prosecuted to an honora-
BILE peace. The Republican party, however,
has gained no triumph of which it may be
proud or from which it may draw any
hopes for the future. Whether they
bring the war to a speedy end, or pro-
long it another year, its fate is
alike sealed. If some stroke of military
fortune should so crush the rebellion that
its SUCCESS would no longer be possible in
the eyes of the South, then the question of
or rather of revivi1cation
would come up and Radcalism would 60
the wall. If the msmanagement of the
Administration causes the war to linger,
and its consequences to oppressively accu-
mulate, the people will turn it out OF power
and put in another with the hope that it
will do better.
In the meantime let US all assist, by en-
couraging volunteering, and exeriing deep,
er and more earnest patriotism in the land,
in bringing this horrid war to speedy
end. The only road to peace is across the
battle field, by the baleful light of Mars,
and let US all accept, as We have the last
two years and half, the fearful necessity
with stout hearts and strong arms.

Springfield Republican on Vol
@ A Iunt0ers.

Oh for . single day of real military rule
at Washington. Oh for a military head
somewhere, to crush out all such folly and
misrule before they see the light. If there
is one lesson the nation is learning, pain
fully and with terrible suffering and loss 1t
is the necessity of putting military affairs
in the control Of military men-"the tools
to such as can use them"-and if this war
is to continue beyond the term OF the pre-
sent administration, this is the one essen.
tial thing the people will demand and will
have for the future. For the present emer-
gency it will be great and damaging mis-
take every way if the President permits
the War department to 60 on with the de-
ceptions it is now attempting. He should
not wait till the mischief has been consum-
mated, as in the previous case, but insist
at once upon honest dealing with the peo-
pie. Let him do this, and there will be a
general, and, we believe, successful effort
to promote volunteering. If not, the vol
untser effort will fall still-born, and he will
be compelled to resort to the slow and
cumbersome machinery of the draft, and
get fewer and poorer soldiers in the end.
A great obstacle to success in volunteer.
ing under the new call for 100000 men,
lies in the petty trickery of the war office
The people are intensely disguised with it.
and this is the reason that there is so little
popular effort to promote enlistments.-
Everybody says, if the administration is go
ing totreat US as if we were fools, and SO un-
patriotic that We must be duped into show
of support to the government, by receptions
and false pretences, then let the government
60 ahead and get men as it can we viii
| stand the draft rather than connive at or
assist in such small business.

Hit ON Both Sides.

AS we expected, our article entitled "A
vile rebel sheet" created quite fiutter
among several of the rebel persuasion yes
terday, but it has not yet entirely unsettled
our equanimity to hear of the fact. we
no new views, but simply stated
explicitly what any but the most stupla
might have readily found running through
all our articles upon the war. 10 be de-
nounced by both extremes is. our highest
ambition. 1t proves we have taken the
"golden mean" People may as well under
stand first as last that this war has to be
fought out, and The sooner it is ended and
the rebellion crushed the better for every
body. What is the use of crying peace
when there is no peace" The rebels,
though driven to the wall are yet defiant,
and hence the war must 60 on. We hold
ourselves in readiness to give the South ev-
cry right and privilege it ever had, the yerv
moment it will lay down its arms. In this
we differ from the Abolitionists and Repub-
licans generally. If this position does not
suit our patrons, we cannot help it. 1t Is
our position and we mean to maintain it.
If there are real rebels at heart who take
our paper, we can only say to them, that
they are living in the United States, pro
tected By its laws, and enjoying its immuni
ties and it is their duty, while they per
haps cannot help their thoughts and sym
pathies, to be quiet, law abiding citizens
Then they will be presumed loyal, and il
that case none will ever more freely O.
firmly defend them against encroachment
upon their every civil right by arbitrary
and unjust military measures than we.
our course has been construed as favorinl
peace upon the basis of separation, we ar
only too happy, to now clearly and most
completely disabuse the minds of all of 8
erroneous an idea. Our voice is for war

until the Great Rebellion is no more. Tha
we submit is unequivocul.
