Conscience Cases

The news from Washington nearly
every day brings the intelligence that
some conscience stricken individual is
forced, through the inward working of
the hearts monitor, to refdnd the amount
of his distractions from the Treasury Of
the United States. This is a good sign
and Shows that the delinqucnts, whoever
they may be, feel the force of carl y teach

ed in their infant hearts cannot be smoth-
cred by the temptations which beset them
in their progress through life, and when
reason asserts er,sway the truth must
come out. We, see also, by the arrival
of English newspapers, that in almost
every issue conscience stricken delinquents
repent of their sins and confess through
the public prints the error Of their ways.
This is due to education and the force of
early childhood's recollections of lessons

TIE BOUNTY BILL.

Mr.. Ohr asked that his bill, granting
bounties to volunteers be considered
The bill being taken up. Mr. Fiery re-
peatcd his views on peace, predicting that
suspension of hostilities will take place
before the 22nd of February, and that by
the 4th of July we will have glorious
jubilee of peace. Tie did not think there
was any necessity for this bill
Mr.. Ohr offered a substitute, mainly
the same as that introduced BY Mr. Trail
in the House yesterday, and published in
the american. o...
Mr.. Eichelberger gave notice that he
would introduce Tomorrow a message to
the House asking the appointment Of a
Joint Committee on the subject of bountics,
He did not believe that this bounty OF
$500 and $3.50 to vetrans would accom-
plish the purpose for which it was inten-
ded. He thought more men could be OBJ
tanned by giving the bounty to those men
who are drafted, to enable them to get
substitutes, OR to enable the poor man tc
pay the communication fee.
Mr.. Stirling was opposed to any sucl
proposition. lie regarded this bill as in.
tended principally to induce the veteran
Maryland regiments to remain in the
field, and to fill up their depleted ranks
The idea of giving a bounty to enlist mei
poor and rich alike, would defeat the main
object of the bill. 1t being easier to pay
Communication than to get substitute
with the State to aid, such will be the re-
suit.
Mr.. Ohr was opposed in toto to ri such
propositions. He was unwilling to give
the money of the State to rich men to en-
able them to escape the draft by commu-
tation, and he was likewise opposed to al
lowing any part of the bounty from the
State to 60 to the disloyal drafted man tc
tighten the expense of obtaining comu-
tation. The bill was actually necessary
and as he had not the optics of the gen.
tleman from Washington county to sec
peace so rapidly approaching, he felt ii
his duty to press the bill on the immediate
consideration of the Senate.
The substitute was adopted for the orig
inal bill, and placed on its second read
ing.
On motion Of Mr. Ohr, it was order.

THE ATTEMPTED EXPULSION OF
ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIESTS.

The news received foom Panama by the
steamer Champion is interesting.
A considerable excitement was created
at Panama last week by an event which
may lead to controversy between Great
Britain and New Grenada. About year
ago the Catholic churches were closed by
order of the Government, and the priests
prohibited from performing mass and driv-
en- out Of the country because they refu-
sed to subscribe to DEGREES which they
thought the State had no right to enforce
upon them.
Last week Catholic clergyman from
England celebrated mass in the hotel,
baptized a child, and administered the
sacrament to dying woman-for which
he has been brought before the authorities
and rcprimanded, and finally criminal
suit has been brought against him, so
that he cannot leave the country until he
gives bail in two sureties and responds to
the decision of the courts when called up
on, which he did by the advice of the
Consul to avoid detention. A native
priest was at the same time thrown into
prison for baptizing the child of a foreign
er. Such is the idea of religious tolera-
ton in a country whose Constitution
guarantees the fullest freedom of religion.
Unfortunately, during the past year the
Constitution has been entirely laid aside,
and laws quite at variance with its spirit
substituted and enforced This has been
necessary to enable Mosquera to keep
himself at the head of the Government,
where a successful revolution had placed
him.
