w0MAN's WRONGS IN THE TREASURY
DEPARTMENT.
A lady correspondent, writing from
Washington, says; A woman's view OF
the bill which was lately passed in con.
gress for the relief Of General Spinner, TO
refund to the treasury the money stolen
from it by General Spinners two conf.
dental clerks, for which the general was
responsible, is that as the government
merely took from one pocket To put into
the other, 1t was very strange such a sys.
tenn was pursued with regard to General
Spinner, when women clerks are charged
with any amount stolen from package
OF money after it is given in their care,
even when 1t is known positively that they
did not steal any portion of it themselves.
More than once has woman been obliged
to refund out OF her small salary money
which was stolen from her desk, and the
clerks in General Spinners bureau are re.
sponsible for the counterfeits they overlook

May 81
A friend in this city has favored us
with the following extract from a char
actcristic letter from Greeley, written
Just after the conclusion Of the late war.
1t shows him to have been, at that early
day, when the whole North was furious
because of the assassination of Mr.. Lin
coin, doing his utmost to have ENERGY
and magnanimity the ruling attributes
ofthe national policy, and willing to
"labor and suffer reproach in the service
of heaven-bessed charity and mercy
Office of the Trbune.i
New York, May 10th, 1865.
"My DEAR RI have yours of the
9Th, for which thank you.
Heartily concur with your view Of what
should be our national policy, and am do
ing my utmost to have mercy and mag.
nanimity its ruling attributes. Only let
the late insurgents join with us in saying
slavery is no more, and think we shall
gradually mould the public will to oul
views. Just now the assassination OF
President Lincoln has made the North
furious; but we shall outgrow that.
shall not hesitate to labor and suffer re.
proach in the service of heaven blessed
charity and mercy.

CHARLES SUMNER continues reticent.
1t was said last week that an effort was be-
ing made by Grants friends to win Sumner
over and back by offering to re-instate him
in the Craftsmanship of the committee on
foreign relations. But the Massachusetts,
senators mouth is sealed. But events are
shaping themselves Notwithstanding.
This is one of the periods in public events
when the attitude or opinions Of one man,
however powerful he may have been in the
past, is as light an obstruction to the
course of public opinion as forest tree in
the path OF a hurricane. The mass Of the
people are moving-moving for reform
and good government-moving for Gree

there, will not halt them in their way.

had brought disgrace on the profession by
