Cheap Conscience.

The Treasurer OF the United States has
received a letter from New York con.
tanning a $40 treasury note Of the Con-
federate states, which the writer desired
should so to the conscience fund. The
letter reads:

What Ward LamOn says about
Old Ben WnIe.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Ward H. La.
mon, whom Ben Wade calls liar II he
assumes to father the statements going
around concerning his desire to become
a Dictator in 1854, said to day that he
was not yet ready to meet Mr.. Wade's
acCusatiOn-not because he thought he
ought to rest under the imputation OF
being liar, but because he knew that
every one who knew him and also Ben
Wade would know just who could prop
erly be entitled to be called liar. HYou
see" said Lamon, "Ben Wade is too old
to whip and too wicked to die" With
reference to the article recently pub.
lished in the New York Tribune,
Colonel Lamon says that in some OF
its statements it was incorrect. What
he meant to convey to TIE public was
that, after Lincoln was nominated 10
Chicago that Ben Wade and Henry Win.
ter Davis endeavored to form a combina.
ton TO call new Convention and nomi.
nate another candidate; that after Lin.
coin was elected the late ex Chief Justice
Chase called upon him one day, when
Lincoln asked him il he knew Of any ar.
rangement having been suggested by
Wade iOr the calling OF new Conven.
tion, whereupon Chase admitted that he
did. and pulled from his pocket corres.
pondence to which Wade was party,
which invited combination OF public
men to have hew Convention at which
he Chase should receive the Republican
nomination. Mr.. Lamon also intimated
that there was correspondence on the part
Of Wade looking to Dictatorship, with
either himself or John &. Fremont rs
Dictator.

The European War.

Prices regained something Of their
drmness yesterday. The speculative
holders Of breadstufa evidently have faith
IN their value and do not look for very
marked reaction. Apropos to this aprAr.
entity wide spread feeling at the CONNER.
cial cenlers, we notice that Caleb Cush-
ing, our Minister to Spain, who has just
arrived from Europe, expresses the fol.
lowing opinion in regard to the war and
and ia effects on this country:
"Thc war mus. result in great good to
our country. There il, however. no
necessity for the large advance on flour;
that il speculative. II the fight should
be confined to Russia and Turkey, the
demand for our breadstufIs will even then
be heavy, for the Russians will not per.
nit all their cereals to be exported while
they are at war, and besides the produc.
ing classes will have to Join the army.
It threatens to be great war. II Eng.
land gets into it, then will come our
opportunity TO recuperate our commerce.
We will have to provide some way by
which we can gather in the English com.
mercial marine under our flag. 1t Is
destined to be Americas chance, and we
must avail ourselves OF it. Russia and
Turkey were never better prepared for u
long struggle 10 far as men, arms and
provisions are concerned"

They are to carry four powerful guns

ash, opposite Silistria. At Hirsova the
Danube is compressed into one channel
the banks Of which are not maushy.
The passage here is easier than at any
other point between Silistria and Galatz.
Hirsoya Is also much less strongly de.
Tended than Silistria. II IL probable
that q strong corps Of Russians will be
concentrated at GuerjSlomici, and either
10 force a crossing or keep garrison at
silistria, while crossing Is made else
where.
A Berlin special says that the warm
reception Of the Emperor by the inhabi.
tants Of StraSbourg has induced him to
postpone the reinforcement Of the Alsace
and Lorraine garrisons. 1t Is hoped that
the French government will profit by
this respite to diminish their forces on
the frontier.
LONDON, May 5.-Among other consid.
cradle quantities Of stores which are be.
ing sent to Gibralter and Malta seventeen
3S.ton guns are ordered to be sent 10 the
former fortress, and the works for mount
ing them ordered to be done. II is un-
derstood that dragon guards have been
placed on the list for service abroad il
required.
The last occasion was when they went
to Canada at the time Of the Trent
affair. The Times does not print this
news with any special prominence as
though it was Of great Importance.
The Times in It's naval news from
Portsmouth reports that the Boadicea is
ordered TO be out Of the shipWrights
hands by the 2sd inst, when she will be
placed on the steam reserve in readiness
for any service which may be re-
quired. Efforts are also being made
10 complete six gun-boats similar to
the Medina. Two Of these, building at
Jarraw, are ready for delivery by the
cOntr actors. These boats are specially
designed for river navigation. They
draw six feet Of water, and carry three
.ixty.four FOUNDERS. Within the last ten
lays the construction Of ten large boats
tor landing troops and horses have been
ordered. Twelve similar boats are al
ready in a forward state OF construction.

Deputies, to-day, Minister Melegari, in
answer 10 the Deputy who had given
notice Of an Interpolation relative to the
reactionary movement commenced abroad
in favor Of the restoration OF the temper

tion was the work Of private individuals,
and caused no serious consideration.
The Powers were convinced that the
Church and Pope enjoyed complete liber-
ty and independence. The Powers have
never addressed any observations TO The
Government on the subject.
The Interpolation was postponed, on
suggestion Of the Government.
Signor Nicalari, stating that the post
ponement would show that the facts men.

There are now 6s pension agents draw.
inysalaries Of from $1,000 to $4,000 each,
and receiving fees of % or 80 cents each
tine a pension is paid in the United
States, or voucher sent to the pensioner.
Tais fee increases the compression Of the
pension agents more than two.fold. Some
oi the pension agents receive as high as
$4,000 in a year, more than twice "a
much as a Cabinet officer. The total
compensation paid to pension agents in

and fees, is abou! az follows, .he figures

Government nearly S5GO,OOO annually.
The Pen,ion Office furnishes them quar-.
terly with pension roll made in Wash.

then in sending from the local office to
the residence Of the pensioner voucher
by mail, aud the pensioner sends it back
by mail. Then n check ia drawn on the
sub.Trcasrtry and sent by mail to the PEN
.iouer. 1t has been suggested that the
entire service could as well be done from,
Washington, but the eplan now under con.
temptation is to reduce these Gs agents tc

the fee sys.em.
