Conscience Money.

We see in the Washington papers frequent
Acknowledgements by the Treasury officers
of the receipt of conscience money" re-
turned by anonymous persons whose con-
sciences disturb them for frauds on the
Treasury. This is clever sign, but would
he more so, except for one circumstance.
The penitents all confess only to petty larce-
ny. In Tuesdays Chronicle, Tor example,
the restitutions made are Sl2 from -. w.
ST." 81 80 from "A Student" and $40 from
some other unknown. The great thieves
are never heard from. They button up
their pockets, smooth their faces and cry
out for the hanging of the ''rebels." If such
as Butler would disgorge, the relief to the
Treasury would be worth recording. He
andhis brother stole their millions in spoons
gold, etc, from the government or the peo-
pie. We shall be glad if visions of Satan
shall frighten the big rogues into restitu-
ton. AT present conscience seems to be
recognized only by those who have little to
lose by it, CleUeldnd Plain Dealer.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York World says the Radicals deny in
the most emphatic manner that STANTON
indorses the Presidents policy. They al
lege that 1t Is trick on the part Of the
President to mislcad the public. A com
mittee, representing both Houses, will call
upon him to know what 1t means. They
can not believe that STANTON would stul-
tlfy himself merely TO retain his position.
The National htelli0eneer declares that
STANTON is with the President and against
the plan Of the irresponsible Directory. lie
will be a flrst-class locomotive under the
posterior of the Radicals, and they know
it; hence their CONSERVATION at his changed
position.

Bill to Revive the Grade of General

The House, Monday, by vote ZIG to IL,
passed the Military Committees bill to re-
viye the grade of General in the army. An
amendment offered by Mr.. STEVENS, pro-
viding that the position of fLieutenant-Gen-
eral should not be filed until after the death
or resignation of General SCoTT, was de-
feated. SO General SHERMAN win, no doubt,
be made Lieutenant-Generala after the pro-
motion of General GRANT. During the de-
bate on the bin Mr.. STEVENS announced his
willingness to support GRANT for the next
Presidency, which was apparently very sat
isfactory to the Republican side of the
House, although several Chase men looked
decidedly grum!

Sergeant DARRAGH was lately tried, con-
victed and sentenced to be shot for Fenian-
ism by the English authorities; but Queen
VICTORIA would not give her consent to the
execution Of the sentence. The correspon-
dent Of the New York TTibune says that
this ''act will effect more toward extermin-
ating Fenianism in the ranks--if it exist
there-than all the constables, spies, law
yers, judges and hangmen within the fair
seas of Britain, could do" Is clemency
better adapted to English than to Ameri-
can soil?

1t is rumored that the President intends
to veto the new Habeas Corpus bill. The
main feature of the bill as passed protects
officers of the army for acts done under Or
ders during the war.--JoWndl.
That's candid admission. The main OBJ
ject of the bill is to protect class of. inso-
lent arbitrary shoulder-strapped despots
who, without law or justice, arrested, i'm
prisoned and subjected to ignominious pun
ishments, unoffending private citizens. 1t
is to protect these satraps from the fate
they deserve that the bill was passed. The
President ought to veto it, aud we trust he
will.

gS~A Washington dispatch reports that
the release of ex-senator GwIN on parole.
now confined in one of the forts below New
Orleans, has been ordered by the President.
1t is further stated that the application was
indorsed by several prominent Republican
Senators. To have kept him so long in a
bastile, or under the amnesty proclama-
ton, to arrest him at all, was piece of
cruelty which is difficult to hide with the
mantle of magnanimity.
