A Thief In the Treasury Department
e Ones to GrBef. ~


The detection OF the systematic ard
extensive ,embezzlement of Govern
ment funds by Charles X. Cornwa all,
the Chief Clerk of the Redemption
Bureau of the United States Treasury
Department, was most opportune, and
shows how impossible it is for rognes
to swindle or steal from the Govern
ment with impunity. l3k 3o 7ra-..
This man Cornwall, it appears, was
seemingly one of the most upright and
honest of men, and enjoyed the conf
dence Of the heads of the Department
to an almost unlimited extent. His
position was one of great trust and re-
sponsibility, and up TO the time of his
arrest, his integrity was beyond re-
proach or suspicion. 1osTas 9as5-.

their redemption, they are cancelled
by being cut into three parts-two OF
them being nearly exact quarters of

Deacon Chase's Cider Press.

Secretary CHAsE's Bank bill, by which
he hoped to screw all the money out Of the
State Banks, and pour it into the sieve
bottomed reservoir of the Treasury Depart
ment, makes a reference timely to the new
tangled cider press formerly invented by
his father, Deacon CHASE, described few
days ago by "Americus,' the correspon-
dent of the Boston Courier. The Deacon's
press was to be ttlt .t..fD
A very strong cider press, which was to
squeeze all the Juice ont of the apples with
out grinding, and would have done it, had
not a few of the more mellow apples yield
ed first, and filed up the interstices with a
pomace in which the harder ones lay I'M
bedded, as hard as ever they were.
The parallel is complete. The money
machine is powerfully constructed, and it
was fondly hoped by the inventors that
very soon nothing would be left in the State
Banks but the macerated skin and dry pulp
Of the golden apples-all that was vital to
them having been thrown away. Some of
the more mellow of the subjects of this
process yielded to the pressure. Then came
heturnof the harder points, of which the
very hardest was the Bank report of the
New York Legislative Committee. There
suit has been the deposit of the machine
upon the table by Mr.. CHAsE's agents,
Messrs. STEVENS and HOOPER, as the Dea-
con laid aside the cider-press. Thus his
tory constantly and faithfully repeats
itself.n an a

ABOLITION HYPOCRISY.
It. Exposure by mr. Cox Of Ohio.

q
m (From the New York World Of Monday
Mr.. Cox's vigorous and telling exposure
of the Inconsistency Of the Republicans
was altogether the best part of Saturdays
debate. If the great hullabaloo about Mr..
LONG is anything more than dishonest
electioneering trick, why did not the Repub
licans propose to expel MIR. Conway, of Kan
sas, when he stood up in his place and advised
the recognition of southern independence? |?
Mr.. CONWAY is Republican, and Mr.. LONG
processes to be Democrat, and that makes
all the difference between loyalty and trea-
son. 1t strikes us that publication, like
charity, should begin at home, and that the
first member of the House who committed
this form of treason should be the first to
suffer for it. a.l. -f. ci r.tf letf.rfT
The case of Mr.. Conway was so perfectly
in point, SO pr, cisely similar, that it is no
wonder the hypocrites were staggered by
Mr.. Cox's effective home-thrust. In our
judgment, and we dare say also i'm the judg-
ment of every Republican member of the
House, the expulsion of Mr.. Conway for adj
vocating recognition would have been con-
ferring on his remarks preposterous i'm
portance, as well as an infringement of the
freedom of debate.
Mr.. Cox also made an excellent use of
Mr.. Greeley's frequently reiterated argu-
ments in favor of the right of secession.
Mr.. Greeley was not, indeed, at that time, a
member of the House; but his newspaper
has always been the most influential organ
of the Republican party. Mr.. Greeley went
to much greater lengths than Mr.. Long, as
may be seen in the following extract from
the Tribune: f8 ;ssal ai t.
I'VE have repeatedly asked those who dis
sent from our view Of this matter whether
they do or do not assent to Mr.. Jefferson's
statement in the Declaration of Independ-
ence that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the governed;
and that whenever any form Of government
becomes destructive of those ends, il is the
right of the people to alter or abolish 1t, and
to institute a new government, &C., &c.
We do heartily accept this doctrine, believ-
ing it intrinsically sound, benefcient, and
one that, universally accepted, is calculated
TO prevent the shedding of seas of human
blood, and II d jistifes the secession from the
British empire Of Hree millions Of colohists in
l776, WE DO NOT SEE WHY IT WOULD NOT
JUSTIFY THE SECESSION OF FIVE MILLIONS

LIONS OF PEOPLE CAN RIGHTFULLY HOLD TEN,

THEM BY MILITARY FORCE"
We wish the Tribune, or some other Re-
publican journal, to tell us what would be
the danger or harm of leaving Mr.. Long to
the same wholesome corrective of public
opinion which was deemed all-sufficient in
the case of Mr.. Conway and Mr.. Greeley.

Why? Because, as everything appears to

of the government, the design now, above
everything else, is to. centralize power by
gradually destroying the autonomy Of each
State, 50 that, finally andat length, the fede-
ration may disappear and nation be estab-

the candidacy of General Fremont for the
Presidency, have let slip that significant
expression. They have been precipitate,
