THE SALES OF GOVERNMENT ARMS.

Carl Schurz, no is now one Of the most ac-
tive, unscrupulous, and malgn OF the enemies
of the party which has given him so many un
deserved honors and rewards, conceives that he
has discovered new and very effective weapon
OF assault upon the Administration. He wishes
to prove that our Government sold arms to
France, during the war Of that country with
Germany, and he desires to create the suspicion
that part OF the money was dishonesty retained
in the hands of United States officials.
Mr.. Sumner introduced the resolution OF in
quiry, and the Senate, to-day, will pass it, we
presume. OF course,as an investigation is asked,
an investigation must be had. Yet the state
ment of Senator Wilson shows that there is no
good foundation whatever, for the charges, and
that the facts will, when shown, prove that our
Government has proceeded wisely, fairly, and in
good faith.
Is it not pity that Charles Sumner consents
to serve the unscrupulous ends of Carl Schurz ?

and in the absence of any statute upon the
subject, most of the money has remained in

lieve, however, that private ENTERPRISE, or
duly constituted agency has been instru-
mental in several instances in seeking out
rightful claimants, and with a power o.
attorney, drawing the money from the
treasury and sending it to the parties to
whom it belonged. This, OF course, involved
greater or less expense, and subjected the
soldiers moity to a defamation not antici-
pated by the allotment act. The necessity

Gen. Stephen Thomas, we understand,
has undertaken, without charge, to look after
the allotments made by any of the members
of the 8th Vt. Regt., and, so far as possible,
ascertain who are entitled to such balances
as are yet uncalled for. He has already been
able to carry out the spirit Of the late act in
many cases, and al hough it makes him con
siderable extra labor and is a tax upon his

We purpose continuing our old battle
against injustice and ignorance under the

the same policy of candid independence which
il was one OF his latest acts TO reafhrm over

many of the foibles that came over in the
May Flower and landed on Plymouth rock,

The Puritan is respected because, in

class OF good healthy fanatics, without whose

sibe to live in the world, or it would not be

We can or can not pray as he prayed, or be-

mIre the sincerity of his supplications and
the tenacity with which he chung, through

We who find il so hard to have faith in any

with wonder upon the spectacle of men who
really believed that they had found the truth,

suppression Of the rebellion, which state
ment shall give the name OF the soldier. has

due him, designating whether it is for extra

See 2. The Treasurer Is directed to put

an edition OF three hundred copies, and to
send one copy TO each town and county

Treasurer IL directed to give notice OF such
publication by one insertion thereof in one
paper IN each county wherein d newspaper

The treasurer, to our knowledge, has been
ANXIOUS for some time. aud it might be said
years past. to have this money, which was
no inconsiderable sum. placed IN the bands
where it belonged. OF course, in nearly
every instance, it is presumable the person
making the allotment is not living, and the
money belongs to his legal heirs, who may
be ignorant in many caees Of any such
imposition, or illegal claims being made, was

ought to be unnecessary, but as there

was made as stringent as 1t Is, and if it is
