A Fortune FoaRd and Lost.

Our readers doubtless have lively
recollection as to the manner in which
John j. Smith, editor Of the Bement
Courier, some time last fall, accidently
found an iron-bound box, containing a
large amount of gold coin An ac-
count of the same appeared at the
time in this paper. As is often the
case, this suddenly acquired fortune
brought with it many attendant evils.
Mr.. Smith grew uneasy and restless;
be neglected his business, and took no
interest in the welfare of his paper
Finally, on the 5th day of April last,
be committed the Courier 70 the edito-
rial supervision Of John Lyons, ESQ,
and embarked on the cars for New
York City, taking with him the coin
for the purpose of having if converted
into currency. In due time he reach
ed the metropolis, where he exchang-
ed his money TO good advantage
Well had it been for John had he
hastened home then; but, impelled by
Q spirit of imprudence, he determined
to see little before he returned to
his family at Bement. .
Becoming acquainted with q couple
of fascinating young gentlemen, oecu-
pying rooms with him st the Astor,
and representing themselves as Eng
lish noblemen ile0G., he assidiously
cultivated their acquaintance and they
in turn, met his advance cordially
One evening they invited Mr.. Smith to

where he was dragged, and he awoke

5000. He Immediately hurried 10
the police Office, and lodged informa-
lion, but no trace or clue has ever been
of the English noblemen.
After few days spent in unaVailing
Iearch, he concluded to return 70 the
West; butas he was Fastening to the
lspot 70 take the cars, his pocket was
picked OF every cent that remained in

Thad. stevens on ConfiscatiOn

Thaddeus Stevens has written the
following letter on the subject of con-
Esestion- II Wss addressed 20 Hon,
Edward McPhersons editor OF the Get
tysburg Star - -a-
- ~. LANcAsTER, Pa, May 20, 1867.
Dear Sir s--Short as your letter is,
fear cannot answer It without Violat-
ing an injunction of my medical adyi-
ser, mot to suffer myself to become
excited. - You live in region which
was two r'three times invaded by the
armies of Jefferson Davis, in the coun-
tieso of Bedford, Fulton, Franklin, Cum
berland, Adams and York. They visit
ed almost every farmer and other in
habitant, and plundersd them of their
horses, cattle, provisions, wagons and
money, when found. Besides some
detached cases, they laid in ashes one
thriving village of 5000 people, and
turned the inhabitants houseless into
the street to seek shelter in fence cor
ners. No provision has ever been made
or is now making, TO reimburse the
plundered citizen. By the law of ma
tions, government makes no compen-
sation for damages done by an inYad-
ing army, unless such government be
victorious, when it always provides by
treaty for payment by the Vanquished
enemy. A government which neglects
to make such provisions on behalf Of
its piundered citizens is basely negli-
gent Of It's duty. A quasi peace exists
between the late belIigerents, the terms
of which are dictated wholly by Con-
gress, which is under the control of the
Republican party. Nothing but the
proceeds of the eonfscation of small
portion of the property of wealthy !
rebels can be applied to pay the DANA
ges inflicted by these marauders, unless
it be paid out of the treasury of the |
United States. ra o-z -s
A few Republican meteors, always
eFratic in their course, are fitting thro' |
and exploding in the Republican at
mosphere. They attract sufficient pub
lie attention to enable them to assure
the smiable rebels who inflicted this in
jury that they need fear no confsca-
ton; that nobody of any note in the
North is Ia favor Of imposing such pun
ishment, for the sake of remuneration
Or of justice. They assure them that
nothing shall be taken from Aiken's
estate Of millions, from Hampton, Ds-
Wis, or from Faulkner, or from thous-
and others who are still worth their
hundreds of thousands, to reimburse
The loyal men, North and South, who
we're plundered of their estates, and to
aid your neighbors to rebuild their
humble tenements.
It is scarcely to be endured that
Congress, for two sessions, should sit
Indifferent to these sufferings, and take
no steps to enforce these ghts. These
'emarks apply to large portions of
Of West Virgins, Ohio, In
llama and Missouri, as well as to the
lave States. l.
He who can patiently listen to that
'utrd humanity We now see propoga-
ed, has more command of himself
han / have. Indeed. it looks as if we
Tere still to add to the burden of our
axation to defray the expenses of

MORAL HoHEoPATHY.-Small matters,
like the nerve Of an aching tooth OF
sting of a musquito, create greater
physical disturbance than larger pains.
A similar principle prevails in ethics.
We have q regular recurrence of items
in the papers announcing the receipt
of conscience money, but the con-
sciences in question are only affected
by the improper acquisition of small
sums. No giant defaulter ever return
ed his illgotten thousands in conscience
money It is only those who crib tens
and twenties who are stricken by con-
science into restitution. Conscience
money seldom reaches hundreds. Is
it kindred fact that, while a stranger
can not draw an order check of ten
dollars at one of our banks, without
personal Identification and all sorts of
trouble, one who operates in gold drafts
and certified checks can obtain thous-
ands, without difficulty or impedi-
ment?
