THE CITY.
The Traffic in White Men.
An Abolition Representative Engaged
in IL.

Under the pressure, anxiety, suspense
and general feeling Of discomfort produced
by Lincoln's frequent calls for three hun
dred thousand niore,p and the repeated
threats of O. rigid enforcement of the con-
scription, the business of recruiting for the
army has become quite extensive and ex-
ceedingly profitable. The streets and ho-
tells Of our city have for weeks past been
crowded with recruiting agents "a respect-
able name for the profession) and their
stock in trade, consisting principally of
young boys from the country who have en-
listed to go into the army. In more than
one instance these recruits are without their
knowledge advertised and sold to the high
est bidder by the agents, who make profit
of from twenty-five TO fifty dollars OH each
man. The House Of Representatives few
days ago adopted a resolution condemning
in. n.severc terms this outrageous and dis
graceful business, in which no man of any
sense Of honor would enter for the exclu-
sive purpose Of making money, a7E
Rumors have been current in the city for
several days that one Of the members of
the House Of Representatives had gone in
to the etraffic In recruits as a regular busi-
ness, and in fact he has made no secret of
his barterings and the profits thereof. So
scandalousa proceeding could not fail to
bring the members of the House to sense
of humiliation and disgrace, and yesterday,
aswill be seen by our legislative report in
another column, Mr., Free, of Perry, intro
duced a resolution, which was adopted, ap-i
pointing committee Of five to investigate
the matter, with view possibly of expell-
ing the offender. The Speaker appointed
none but Republicans on the committee,
probably regarding it as strictly party
matter. It's hoped that the committee will
make thorough Investigation of the facts
and a frank and full report, for the credit
of the Legislature, the honor of the State,
and decent regard for the men who en-
list to peril their lives in defence Of their
country.
The member charged with being engaged
in this business Is Joseph Sclell, Abolition
Representative from Stark county. His abb
olitionism is of the regular, unadulterated,
old-fashioned kind. Long before the war
he was noted for his loud-mouthed profess
sions of love for the negro, and his bitter
denunciations of shareholders and slave
dealers, and he was one of party Of fanatics
in Marlboro, Stark county, who signed a
petition to Congress praying for dissolu-
tion of the Union because of slavery. His
transactions in connection with the traffic
in white men attest the sincerity of his
professions aud the sublime purity of his
philanthropy. ",

turning By the proximity Of the enemy or
orders CT commanders, shall vote at such
headquarters, and no other place. Off

other voters detached and absent from
their companies, or in any military and
naval hospital, or in any vessel or navy

THE REFUGEE

4 friend and | were strollipg down
The gay and crowded street,
When with pale and sad-eyed one
It was our chance to meet.
Ny friend had bowed to ladies fair,
Who passed and were forgot;
He bowed to her, on his cheek
l saw crimson spot.
And yet it was no flush of shame
Upon his cheek that burned;
His look was soon as sad as hers:
To look at her turned.
Her years they might have been two score,
Her step was sad and slow;
Not weariness-but just that pace
At which all mourners go.
Though poor, around her yet there was
That nameless grace, which says,
Even to careless passars by,
III have seen better days"

A soldiers name and sword,

Hon. Thaddeus stevens has been re.
nominated for Congress, by the Union
men of Lancaster county. OF course
there is nothing surprising in this renewal
of confidence. In Congress, Dir. Stevens
gives to his district an importance equal
to that enjoyed By many States, from the
Of their delegations in both
branches Of that body; and hence, while
the veteran statesman lives and is willing
to forego his own repose and personal in-
terests to occupy seat IN Congress, the
people of Lancaster county will. Of course
insist upon his distinguished services.
We do not believe that there is pure
Union man or q clean "Democrat" in his
district who will vote against Mr.. S.es
Vens at the October election.

Our readers will not fail to be touched
By the child Ike simplicity with which
General Ne Ciellan declares his belief
that the views expressed in his letter of
acceptance are identical Withsthose of the
Chicago Convention. The Platform Of
the Convention proclaims the war a failure
insists upon an immediate cessation of
hostiI.ties, and invites peace at any sacri.
fee; while Mcclellan, aghast at the peril
Gus position taken by his colleagues,
hedges toward q vigorous prosecution Of
the war, il case the indispensable condi-
ton Of a complete establishment of the
Union should prove una.tainable by other
means. In other words, while the utter
aDco of the Chicago Convention are un-
undisguisedly traitorous, those Of Gen
Mcclellan are to some extent consistant
with loyalty. If black Is white, then the
"vieEs expressed BY the General are
those of the Convention, and not other
wise. We hardly know whether to be
most entertained by this assumption Of
innocent cEadplity, or his assurance in
supposing that the people can be fog q
moment duped by it.
