Bureau of Subornation.

The ENHANCEMENT of accusation in
which the Conover gang has managed to
involve members of Congress, of the Cab
met, the President, and men of both par
ties, is an illustration of the audacity to
which the conspiracy Of informers has
risen, during tho recent Reorganization
of society and annulment of the courts
The war was the millennium of detectives
and false witnesses aud informers. Tho
secret service was new, and was attractive
to desperate characters by its novelty, as
we'll as by the rewards it offered and the
power it gave. The Government itself
knew nothing Of the double-edged sword
which it thrust so recklessly into every
corner of tho State. They did not seem
to think that it would wound the innocent
as well as tho guilty, and worse still,
would cut the hand that welded it.
Judge Holt was the man who organ
lied the bureau of subornation, and took
his place at the head Of it. He is now
its chief victim--no. that the oaths of the
perjured gang eliminating him are worthy
of any more belief than their other testi-
mony, but because he first introduced this
horde of bandits-assassins Of life as we'll
as of character.--.and traiued them in our
service, drilled them and paid them !! 1t
must not be lost sight of that these men
perjured themselves for hire That waa
their first temptation. When exposed
and convicted, they perjured themselves
again, in the hope of escaping punish.
ment. In no case did they act spontane-
ously, from mere love of falsehood.-
Nothing but the bride of money, large
sums Of money, could have induced these
men to put themselves in peril of prison
and infamy in the first instance, and that
money must have been furnished from the
public treasury.
The removal of Stanton lays open the
secrets of the tribunals which depend
upon the War Office and we may yes
learn how this bureau of subornation COM
manded its means of hiring false testimo-
ny, and what was the mysterious secret

"That," said Thales, "where the in
