Nearly 81, 900 was received yesterday at the
Treasury Department intended for the con-
science fund. OF this amount S24O was in
gold, being duties due on goods tmported at
New York and wrongfulIy appraised, aud the
balance was from the Captain, of an Iowa regi-
,nent in the lare war. All the wrupg co.,
sciences seem to enure to the benefit Of the
National Treasury. We never hear Of any pri-
vate property being restored to it's Legitimate
owners. and We are certain that none Of the
valuable books and other articles stolen from
this Office, and expressed to the North, during
the war, have ever been sent back

ALLEGIANCE.

The one political issue involved in the
late civil war was that Of allegiance. The
South claimed in that contest that ale
gisnce went hand in hand with sovereignty,
and that irasmuch as the States were SOW
ereign, the paramount allegiance Of the
citizen was due, not to the General Govern
meni, but to the State. On that issue the
Southern States, under the policy Of sepa-
rate State action, Withdrew one by one
from the Union. This withdrawal was
deliberate, and accompanied by all the
formalitlcs of solemn legislative proceed
urc. The President of the United States
denied the power of the General Govern
ment to coercc these seeding States. Con
gress failed to exercise the power thus de-
nied by Mr.. buchanan. The American
people stood by and Witnessed the process
of national dissolution until a hostile gov
eminent had been organized at Montgome-
~, Alabama, and the great body Of the
Union loving whites of the South had been
forced into obedience to the provisional
political authority thus suddenly placed
over them. Not until the national flag was
fired on in the harbor of Charleston, South
Cgrolins, did the people awaken to fall
realization of the peril which thus menaced
their liberties. Thus forced TO fight for IFS
life, the nation arose in its might and the
contest for sovereignty began. -Four years
of war settled the issue thus formed so far
as the battle field could settle it The
Southern disunionists were forced 10 recog

THE New York bark-note engraving
companies are at work again in their
periodical efforts to break up the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing. This is their
privilege. They are simply laboring in
their own interests. So long as they con-
fine their efforts to Legitimate competition
for the work Of the Government they are
entitled to consideration. But when they
go beyond this policy and resort to mis-
representations, subterfuges and attempts
at corruption they should receive a prompt
and effective check. There is no doubt
that all things considered the Government
will best consult its own interests by doing
its own work. 1t has ample facilities for
doing the work in a superior manner,
without cost OF transportation, and with
assurance of perfect safety and better pro-
lection from counterfeits than can be
afforded by private parties. Beyond this,
by doing the work here large amount of
deserving labor can be kept in employ
ment and the machinery and appliances
for this purpose, which have been obtained
at much expense, utilized in an effective
manner. 1t is certainly the wiser course
to retain the work here, where tine masses
may be largely benefited by it, than to
seLd it abroad for the benefit OF such rich
moropOlies as the New York bank-note
engraving companies and the Adams Ex-
press Company. True economy aud i'm

nize national authority as the paramount
law OF the land. The white Unionists Of
the South were delivered from the despot-
ism which military oonscription in the
name of Stale Rights had established over
them. The slaves were freed.
This struggle over the issue of allegiance
did not end with Lees surrender. The
emancipation Of the negro race created the
necessity for national legislation in regard
to the political ard civil rights Of the freed
people. And thus the General Govern
ment WAS forced to once more intervene
IJ sovereign authority in Southern affairs,
snd By Congressional procedure and Con
st;tutional amendment clOthe the black
man with the rights Of citizenship. The
ballot was given to this man. He was
placed on an equality with all other citi-
zens OF the Government before the law.
Aud 90 By formal nsiionallegiSlatiye act the
American Congress took Jurisdiction final
and complete over the question Of citizen
ship. The fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments. TO the Federal Constitution -estab-
liskcd national citizenship. By these
amendments we became nation. The
organic structure Of the Constitution was
changed and brought into harmony with
the Declaration OF Independence.
By this revolution in our system of gov
eminent the nation now claims the para
mount allegiance Of the citizen BY this
act the nation also owes protection to its
citizens. Thus the principle of protection
to the rights Of citizenship is made to 60
hand in hand with the allegiance OF the
citizen. They are SO vitality correlated
that separation between them is impossible
without the dislccaiion of the Union. And
as The contest for paramount sovereignty
between the States sud the General Gov
ernnlent grew out Of the slavery question,
SO the principle Won at such bloody cost
on tae battlefield and confirmed By con
stitutions, procedure is now to be made
good il the person Of tho maa who WAS
