FoRNEY as good rs gives up Maryland,
In his Occasional" letter TO the Philadel-
phia Press of the 23d inst he thus pours
out his grief: ~ at 44. than r<l
"Thc aspect in Maryland is by no means
promising. In saying this, Idesire to state
n fact and warning ut the same time. Gov
ernor Swami, chosen by the Union men. is
and preparing TO betray HIS friends. 1t is
not doubted that. through the sinister in
iluenee Of Montgomery Blair, he will ap-
point commissioners under the registry
law, who will enroll the names of returned
rebels in the different counties. All hopes
of different result are given up, and now
the tried and trusted patriots who flattercd
themselves that Maryland was wholly se~
cured TO the Union, are preparing fer n
desperate struggle in November" .qJ

The Philadelphia Age. of the 18th inst.
says: "T'he political news from the in
terror of the State is encouraging to the
friends of the Union The late action of
the Radicals has opened the eyes of the
people, aud they are preparing to sweep
that faction from power at the coming cleo
tion. The honest and patriotic voters of
the Keystone State win not support party
Which Is willing TO irranguratea civil war
ms a means OF retaining political power.
This the Radical party Is preparing to do,
and hence their doom Is sealed. The stale
cry of "loyalty'' win not ayail against such
facts as those presented with reference to
their contemplated treason"

EX-Secretary Chase and the Treas
nrN


The New York Herald learns, through
private sources, from Washington, that a
discrepancy, amounting to some thirty mil
lions, has been discovered in balancing the
accounts of Judge CHASE while Secretary
ofthe Treasury-or rather that his accounts
do not balance by that amount. If this re-
port be true, is it not strange that the dis
crepancy was not discovered beforep What
is the reason his successors, Mr. FRssEEDEN
and MIR. McCULLocH, have had nothing to
say on this subjectY There is rumor that
Mr.. FEssENDEN resigned on account of the
muddle he found the Treasury Department
in when he entered upon the discharge of
his duties as its chief. The more he en-
deavored to straighten matters the more
complicated he found them, and he aban-
dandoned their solution in despair"

E%- A Bolivia (SOuth American) letter
says; "a virulent epidemic, much re-
sembling yellow fever, has made its ap-
pearance in the Department Of Santa Cruz
de la Sierra, and, If report be true, has
caused frightful ravages among the sparse
population of that distant mountain region.
It is affirmed that, without any exaggera-
ton, in less than sixty days. about 1000
persons have died out OF population OF
barely $4,000, from the terrible disease"

Stanton.

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Herald states that Secretary
STANTON, whose resignation has been so
often predicted, but has never taken place,
is not to leave the Cabinet. lie has prom
ised to come out squarely and dunequivocally
in support of the Presidents policy. His
instructions TO General THOMAS, prohibit
ing him from interfering in political mat
ters in Tennessee, Is cited as evidence of the
arrangement.
Wehave also heard it stated, from vari-
Gus sources, that STANTON approves Of the
holding and the purposes of the Philadel-
phia Convention. We doubt the whole
story. If he has made any professions OF
this kind, 1t is for the purpose of accom-
plishing some selfish and dishonest ends,
He is not to be trusted. The infamous rec
ord he has made should exclude him from
the fellowship of all honest and patriotic
men. t.

VB The Chicago Tribune, (Radical,) speak
ing of the defeat Of the Tariff bill says;
There is lamentation among the chaps
who went downlto Washington to induce
Congress tO let them rob the American peo-
pie of $4OO,OO0,0OO. The Senate has post
pOned their bill TO next December, by six
majority. This means that 1t Is killed The
bill was stronger the day it was reported
from the Committee of Ways and Means,
than it has been any day since. BY next
December it will not only be dead, but IL

in Congress. 1t says

The able Secretary of tile Treasury is
doing his best to bring the currency back
to a specie standard, but his efforts are
rendered abortive by financial quackery in

gains are made when the finances Of the
country are most disordered.

The Leaders in the TariT Plumber


The New York Evening Post (Republi-
can,) thus points out who it is that lead of
in Congress in favor of the tariff robbery
1t says:
There is Mr.. Stevens-he demands
higher duty on iron, which, of course, will
raise the price of that article; he is an iron
master There is Mr.. Griswold, who de-
manded heavier duty on railroad iron,
which would, of course, increase the price
of that commodity; Mr.. Griswold is a man
ufacturer, at Troy, in this State, of rail-
road iron. There Is Mr.. Morrill,, who i'm
poses higher duties on foreign marble; Mr..
Morrill,, we are told, is interested in marble
quarries in Vermont. There is MIR. Dodge,
of this city, of whom Il correspondent
wrote the other day;
''On motion of Mr.. Dodge, ten per cent.
dd vdlorem was added TO the duty on iron
wire. On motion of Mr.. Dodge, the duty
on crinoline wire was increased from
seven TO ten cents per pound. Is he the
Mr.. Dodge of the firm of Phelps, Dodge &
Co, who are said to be largely interested
(Or some of the members of the firm are) in
wire works in Connecticut and Massachu-
sets ?" f--.
These are only examples. They do not
exhaust the list ofmembers in the present
Congress who seem to think that they are
IN washington for the purpose of filling
their own or their friends pockets. We
shall in few days, publish a list of MEM
bers, which will, perhaps, enable the pub
lie TO see why it Is that some are so much
interested IN the passage of this oppressive
bill, and why it is that Others, who ought
TO oppose 1t, more prudent, but no less cor
rupt, keep their mouths shut and suffer
the people to be robbed, that they OF their
friends may gain.

Fuualizing Bouuties.

The subject OF equalizIng the bonnties
OF our volunteers during the Rebellion
still commands attention. and there have
been SO many declarations III its favor by
political and ether conventions that there
seems to be certainty that some plan Of
i5isposiug Of The claims Of solliers Will
have to be resolved upon 10y Congress
There is, q conrsc, hostility to the pro
4 nosi,ion, not because the measure would
be unjust, but because it is iuaxpedieut
to increase The national debt But right
is right, aud cannot be disposed Of by an
allegation that it is inconyenient to pay
that which is Justly due A bill has been
prepared which contains the following
features That lie rateol bounty to every
soldier honorably discharged from the
service shall be S8,333 for every month
Of actual service. Soldiers who received
40 bounty whatever are to be paid at the
rate for which they served. Those who
received partial bounties are to have those
amounts deducted Ifany surplus should
be due after deduction at the rate pro-
posed, they are to receive it. Deserters
aud persons discharged at their own re
questor the request Of others, except
when it was for the purpose Of promo
ZION to higher rank ID the service, are
to receive nothing. The money is only
to be paid to soldiers who have retained
their discharge papers And oae who
has bartered, sold, assigned, transferred,
loaned, exchanged or gfven-a away his Pa,
pcrs loses his rights, and each applicant
is required TO take an oath that he has
