SUBSTITUTFS.

The "Citizens' Volunteer Substitute Com
mittee" promises to be great success. Their
office has been opened but for two days, and
already they have registered applications from
more than hundred citizens, which places in
their hands funds to the amount Of over forty
thousand dollars.
In day or two they will have arrangements
perfected for receiving substitutes, and then
their Office should become a recruiting station
where volunteers can be assured of being
honestly and fairly dealt with The committee
propose to pay six hundred and fifty dollars
to the substitute on the day he Is mustered in,
without deduction for commission or bro
kerage. This supf is composed of four hun
dred dollars, subs seribed by the principal, and
two hundred aud fifty dollars city bounty,
which the committee will advance and sub
sequentiy collect from the city.
The enterprise is highly patriotic, and the
well known character of the gentlemen COM
posing the committee is a guarantee that ii
will be conducted with energy and fidelity.

QUESTION OF ErHICs

The workings Of custom are, in all cases,
cur ious, but in none more so than in their in
fuence on the moral sensibilities of classes or
bodies of men. The race is gregarious, and
plays follow your leader" With great
readiness I" one sinner doeth much HARM" as
his racks mark the way for others to follow,
and his course soon becomes a beaten path.
He who would scorn to lie in private life, and,
If applied TO him, would resent the word as the
deepest insult, justihes the most glaring and
unfounded misrepresentation by shrug of
the shoulders, and, Well, everybody else
does IT,"
Ifhe is classical in his phraseology he uses
the brilliant adage, "When we are in Rome"
DC. A young man, engaged in one Of the
largest wholesale stores in the city, observed
70 Us the other day that clerk was obliged
to Ne occasionally in order to make sales.
Now, we are not straight-laced in our notions
at all We regard it as an excusable conVen-
tionalism Tor lady TO send down word that
she Is not "at home" a. every one understands
what 10 meant, as wen as by the respectful
phrase Of @YOur obedlent servant at the end
of an impairment letter.
We have no scruples about going to the
opera, even If "Don Giovanna" be the hero.
We are not convinced by the arguments ad-
vanced for stopping the cars on Sunday. But
really It Is staggering and startling to be as
sured by one just starting in life that he in
tends 20 sacrifice honor and honesty on prin-
clple, and that ali bis acquaintance do the
same Such a basis for future operations, we
take II, Is highly Objectionable. 1t is pretty
commentary upon our business morality that
such notions are openly aVOwed BY those con-
eeTned IN trade, and any attempt 10 correct OT

,eusurc them, Is hoOtcd At ~ Puritanioal or

censure them, Is hooted at a. Puritanical or
Quixotic.
Even those holding high positions In the
church and society, allow Misrepresentation
about the quality and price Of their goods 10
be made, or make them themselves, and settle
their qualms Of conscience by the invariable
plea of Every body else" &c. These poor
creatures are caught by the Devil with bare
hook, and no one is verdant enough to depend
on what he hears in the public mart, and az
1t would certainly be more satisfactory to all
to feel that their life was consistent and them
selves sincere, we cannot understand why
they should not use truth in their dealings,
since, In business point Of view, It comes 10
the same in the end. Ifit were not profitable
pecunlarily, If Il did not pay, we have pretty
good authority for saying, The getting Of
treasure by lying tongue is a vanity tossed
to and fro Of them that seek death"
The obtuseness Of the world, however, In
ethics, need excite less surprise when we re-
member what netarious doctrines are pro-
claimed, even from the pulpit. During one
Of our latest financial panics, popular clergy
lalf III Ouo VI OuI LnOnb ldSnlOLADlb CuuICHbbt
advised the members of bis congregation to
give literally to benevolent purposes at once
as the crisis might take all away, and deprive
them Of the power to do good. The COM
plant often and justly made against the law
is, that its general rules work much evil in par
ticular cases, so that controversies are de-
cided on other considerations than those of
justice; but is morality, in this instance,
would be better than that of the sacred desk.
A gift to defraud creditors, such as the
reverend gentleman advised, would be void,
and charity could not flourish at the expense
OF rectitude. Are we not strangely and won
dertully made, when any one in human shape
can fail TO see that such acts are knavish and
rascally, and when, as people, we profess re
ngion, but can yet herd with such men, pro-
vided, always, they have money?

The Times Washington dispatch avs all
is quiet with the Army of the Potomac to-
day. Everything lie in readiness for move
ment at the proper moment. Our troops are
in excellent spirits, and anxious to advance
against the rebels, under their new comman-

Gen Burnside's command is in favorable
position.
The l4th New York battery had light
skirmish yesterday while going to the front.
Deserters nom the rebel ranks are crossing
the Rapidan daily. All agree that Lee is
making extensive preparations to meet Grant
there. The people also profess to believe
that Richmond is being evac uaied.
The Richmond Examiner Of the 29th says
il we hold our own in Virginia till summer is
ended the North's power for mischief every
where will be gone. II we lose, the South's
capacity for resistance will be broken. The
Coniederacy has ample power to keep its
place in Virginia If its means are employed
with energy and consistency. This is the
last year of the war, which ever wins.
The Republican says it begins to be feared
in high military circles that Lee is trying to
escape from the Rapdan to the works in the
