TIE MoSEY-GRABBERS' ORGANS CoNpLIMESTED.
The San Jose Courier closes an able article on
financial matters with the following reference to
two prominent San Francisco newspapers - The
Aha and Bulletin being in the interest of the
brokers of San Francisco, issued daily financial
articles always against the United States curren-
cy, arguing its exclusion, except at discount of
from forty to fifty per cent, thus doing more in-
jury than if they had loaned the rebel Govern
ment sufficient to equip small army. When
Mr.. Cheesman, United States Sreasurer, attempt
ed to address public meeting on the currency
question, those papers justified the mob who
compelled him TO fee into adjoining store for
safety. The Alta is defended by United
States soldiers, lest the material belonging to it
might be disposed of as was that of the Demo
cratic Press-and if dealt with according to its
deserts undoubtedly would have shared the same
fate. The Democratic Press attacked the admin
istration and sympathized with the rebellion
the Alta and Bulletin attacked the Government
credit, and asks the protection OF United States

WAITING FOR AN INsuRREcrIoN. The
radical Abolitionists, Of the school OF
Snmntr, Wilson, Greeley, Jim Lane and
John Brown, anticipated, with 6endi,h
jov, an instruction of the negroes Of the
South Immediately after the promulga-
ton OF the emancipation proclamation
They are greatly disappointed and keenly
mortified at the indifference manifested
by the negro for his elderly" his dis.
trust of his liberators, and his attachment
to his home and master. They predicted
an Instruction, hoped and prayed for it,
and implored the negroes to take VEN
geance upon their "oppressors," promis.
ing them freedom and protection il they
would muder their masters and violate
their masters wives and daughters. Their
promises have been disregArded, their
prayers unanswered. But they are still
waiting "for an instruction Of the slaves. y
The Boston Traveller, their organ, says {:
"SambO doesn't move, Notwithstanding that
Gen. Sherman is ready 10 help him, and there
must be u million and half Of slaves in the
States that are Immediately affected BY The
operations Of the hero of Atlanta. Really, the
world will begin to think that old Tom CARLYLE
was right, aud that Sambo doesn't mean 10

WAR ON THE TREASURY intelli.
gent Washington correspondent Of the
New York Journal of Commerce saws.
1.-THE spring campaign against the treasury
opens with renewed vigor and success
The daily average expenditures of the
United States Government are estimates
at three and hall million of dollars. One
third ofthis amount. probably is embraced
in one item cheatage." 1t used to bt
said IN Congress that thirty per cent
must be allowed for cheatage of contracts,
but these are war times, and the cormo-
rants of the Administration party, acting
in concert with members of Congress and
Cabinet officers, who share the profits,
are determined to make fortunes out of
the troubles Of the country. Washington
is filled with loyalists demanding pay, in
the shape Of Office or contracts, for their
services in the late Presidential contest,
ard contracts are given to them to stop
their clamorine.

The BANKRUPT BILL--A SECTIONAL
NorE The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial has the fol.
lowing in regard to the vote on the bank
rupt bill:
The most purely sectional vote Of this
Congress was given for the bankrupt bill.
The Erst was unanimously for it; the
West nearly as unanimously against. -
Ben. Wood and Thad Stevens voted on
the same side for the first time in their
lives; and SO Of graf many others,
showing that The vote was sectional al
not political. The Republican lion and
the Copperhcad lamb laid down together,
provided they hailed from the same point
Of the compass. As good Union man
as Mr.. Garfield voted against the bill in
company with as staunch a copperhead
as Mr.. Pendleton. The vote shows that
the agricultural people Of the West have
keeher sense Of pecuniary obligation
than the show-keeping fraternity Of the
East. If the same cause operates in the
passage of the bill in the Senate it will
receive large majority, for Connccticut's
"ayes" can counter, balance Ohi0's "nays"
the puny province Of Rhode Island " i'll
vote as heavy as the immense State Of
Illinois; and little Vermont will ncutraize
Kentucky.

MoBLE.-The telegraph has informed
us, more than once, Of the capture Of
Mobile, but the rebel flag still floats over
it. Judging from the tone of the South

speedily captured. The Augusta Chron.
icle says: "A correspondent who has
had an opportunity Of examining the de.
fences Of Mobile, expresses the opinion
that there. is not better fortified place
on the continent, and says: Not less
than sixty millions Of dollars have been
expended in placing her in her present
impregnable condition. Ten thousand
men can easily hold il for an indefinite
