Reward OF RasCaIity.

One of the most distinguishing traits of
the present Administration is the prompt
ness with which rascals are rewarded.
CALLrcorT, of New York, who sold him
self to the Abolitionists for the small sum
Of one thousand dollars, and was made
speaker of the House of Representatives OF
the New York Legislature, was promptly
appointed by Mr.. CHASE, then Secretary Of
the Treasury, assistant special agent at
Memphis, and now he has been appointed
supervisor and special agent for the first spc-
cial agency. which comprises the whole rebel
line from the Alleghauies to the Mississippi.
The outrageous system of rapacity which
even the Republican House Committee of
Commerce could not conceal, but confessed
and exposed, is accounted for when the peo-
ple elect men to power who choose a rascal
like CArLGcoTr for position requiring
above all things incorruptiblc integrity, and
remove him from that position only to en-
large the field of his operations.
Such gigantic corruption never cursed any
country in any age, as this which Republi-
cans have cngendered and by which they
have thriven for four years. 1t turks every
where. The very usher of the chief magls-
trate lies in wait at the door Of the White
House and levics toll at from five to one hun
dred dollars a head for spccdicr admissions,
or for his masters signature to permits and
pardons; while Mr.. MNcoLN's two former
law partners have unlimited cotton permits.
The deputy warden Of the District of CO.
lumbia Jail sells his prisoners to substitute
brokers for from three to six hundred dollars
apiece.
At army headquarters the soldiers mail
have been opened, and hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars worth of money and gift
taken from them.
The Secretary Of the Navy admits giganti
frauds, yet JoHN y. HALE has been put ou
of public life by his party for his persistenc
in exposing and denounclng them.
The Secretary Of War riots in loose an
pro1igate expenditure but Republican col
gressmcnwho had fayors to ask, promotions
and permits, Get, refused to robukc hin
for his most glarng, undefendcd, and ind'
fensible crime, and he shows his contcml
for them by Withholding his report till th
last day of the session.

Fighting Near Ninston.

Unqucstionobly there was hard fighting
near Kinston, n. c., extending through
three days. As our troops withstood tho
first shock, we have but little concern for
their final triumph. The rebels cannot
chang out, as our troops can. The former
spend themselves in the mpetuosity yof thcii
first onset Either from natural dispoSition
or from artificial stimulant, they stri ke with
a yell and an impctuosity that threatcr
annihilaton to a foe, but the cool, steady
determination of the Union troops seldom
Yields, and when it does not the rebel fury
is expended, and they yield the field
The losses near kinstou seem to hav,
been about equal down to the last accounts
yet it would not appear that the contest wa
over kinston is the key Of Goldsboro i
is its outpost, and it has become very essen
tial to rebeldom, that Goldshoro be held Il
every expense. ( Clercltnd HTdid.

If the army of General Lee defeated that

about Richmond are mprcgnablc.
Tha resources of Virginia have been held
in reserve. Notwithstanding more than Il

full rations, and there is no reason to appre
hend that they will fail to enjoy plenty t,

Johnson Out on water.

Immediately after the Inauguration, Vice
President JOHNSON was taken to Silver
Springs. 1t seems that the idea originated
with PRESTON KING, and that he accom-
panied JOHNSON and BLAIR to that retreat
tits also stated in official circles in Wash
ington, that several doctors have been called
in for consultation, with view of making
out case of temporary insanity, and thus
obtain an excuse to dispose of the Vice
President. The fact that Mr.. JOHNSON was
nominated at Baltimore through the in
ducnce of WEED and SEWARD, is mucl
commented upon by the radicals. SEwARI
is held responsible by them for the recen
disgraceful scene in the Senate, and al
effort is being made to make point OF
| this fact.

The BaChanaiiuu Senate.

The Senate Of the United States is i'm

that it is indecent, and this just apprecia

seriously damaged the nation. So many OF
the members were cxhicrated to an undue
degree on the 18th, instant that, at the next
meeting, n general confession was made by
the adoption Of resolution abolishing the
senatorial drinking saloon If the Senate
only got drunk ON whiskcy we should en-
tertaln hope that it might become re-

of II scarcity of Teachers. Hereafter no certifi-
