SILENCE TREASON AND GO TO BUsI-

The people are losing confidence In thelegis-
latiye branch Of the Government, hence the
rise in gold to-day from 179 to 1901 Why
shouldn't they lose conGd sncc when such a
spectacle is presented as we have witnessed for
the last few daysl Treaion openly declared
upon the floor Of the Hou sc, and permitted to
disgrace the public record The traitors, with
the assistance OF their co pperhead sympathlz-
ers, delaying the transact on OF the public bust
ness, postponing the i'm portant question of
taXation-the necessary organization OF bu-
reaus in the Army and liayy-thc approprla-
tion bills, and other meas ures, vital to the per-
petulty and existence Of the..natlon; and this,
too, on the very eve of important military
operations.
Nothing could be more detrimental TO the
national credit at home o.r contribute more
largely to destroy confidence in and respect
Tor the Government abroad. We sincerely

A FaI.s Observation-Disclosures.

The copperheads and other political reptiles
adverse to the Administration and the success
full conduct Of the war by our arms, are circu-
latlng an absurd story about quarrel between
the Secretary of War and Lieutenant General
Grant, to the effect that these high officers are
dlsincllned to cooperate, with regard to the
conduct of the spring campaign. WehsYe the
best authority for stating that the report is not
only false, but that the best of relations and
understanding exists between the S ecretary and
the Lieutenant General, and that the work Of
reorganization of the armies, and especially
that OF the Army of the Potomac, is going on
satisfactorily.
