eh trader of the men who now represent

lit the first place we have the news
thiit Col. Clifford Thomson, late chief
dak in the internal revenue bureau,
H'ttMitly sold, for five thousand dollars,
tidvance information as tolhe New-York
Central tax decision, by which means
certain parties were enabled to secuie
themselves against loss. The facts us
to tliiB case, a Tribune di-pateh informs
up, were communicated to the president,
and the righteous wrath of that terrible
upholder of the public virtue may be
imagined from tho fact that-' the re

Next, a Mobile dispatch announces
that Mr. G; L. Putnam, pojtmaster of
that city, baa been arretted on an indict
merit presented by the grand jury
charging him with bribery. This is
one of Mr. Grant's roccnt appointments,
and it was made against of the few re
spectable republicans in Alabama. An
huuest roan is said to have been re
moved, and tho place was given to 1'ut

Mr. d'rniit'rt administration hao cvci
made Mich an attempt, wo have not
heard of it. Wo have not yet had the
pleasure of publishing the fact ol a dol
lar of Ktolcn money having thus been
recovered to the government. On the
contrary tho public bavo seen the ad
ministration actually conniving at the
Cieapo of defaulting officials, and con-
cnting to the impunity of any number
of their bondsmen. The worst penalty
of their uiidcr-tho-Orant regime 19 the
discovery and publication of the thiel s
" insanity." We bavo no doubt that n
verdict of insanity to the amount of $'.),-
000,000 will finally bo brought 111 the
case of tho ox-collector.
The moral rottenncs of tho present
republican party is shown, not so much
by the frequcucy or crime among itn
prominent and ofiieial representatives,
as by the impunity with which crime is
invariably by that class committed
Still glca nitig from our dis

this fact in the announcement from

Mr. allandlghani is well known. It Is
tint so well known that ho has nover failed
to citltiviilo tho classics of his youth. Ho
was ono of tho vory few who had pursued
a critical and carofttl scholarly lire amidst
tho auxictios, bulfutings, nnd noiso of pub
lic and professional occupation. Virgil
and Homer wcro as famljlnr to liltn as
Udrku nnd Webster. Ills speeches show
much of the labor limn: Ho wrote.
patched, pasted, and proved ovor nnd ovor
again his must olabornto speeches ; but ho
was equally at homo in Impromptu orato
ry. His great speech, as it is called, on so
cession, was altogether tho most carefully
prepared speech mado during tho war.
Hut his spcecli on tho conscription bill,
which was a masterly cfl'ort, was the
fire from a mitrailleuse, oif-hand.
It was my privilege to hear him speak
the speech at Mt. Vernon, Ohio, for which
.Mr. Lincoln sent him Into exile south. I

speech, spoken from tho sattto stand. I
never understood tiial conviction Tor thoso
words spoken by another. Tho court, in
compliment to myself, formally accepted
my statement as absolute vortty, anil yet
convicted him.

Mr. Vallandigham failed In his cnndl

fearful timidity in llio public mind. It
was almost cowardly nnd contemptible.
It would not even lio.ir tho champion of
