No doubt hundred of ooea bate teeo arreated, confined a political prisoners, acd romi convicted of crime tbroogh juit euch ageociea. It wa developed ia th trenon trial io thia citv, by witnesses of tbe government, that detectives were authorized and instructed to inveigle innocent ram into what waa termed disloyal organizations, and then appear as witnesses a-a'ct them. And tLi- was done with the knowledge and approval of nun biAb io authority. Instead of acting as conseiTatora of the peace, acd uin every influence to rf.r fmm wrontr-doir.r. wn find the m ' FS W B "got era meat" aetiicg bits and trapM, and spend log money, lavtuhly, to induce the uriuectinp, who otberwte would have been uiltlc-, to com mit crime. A healthy public sentiment will yet bold and punih tbe persons who have been guilty

'.'of .these IraaiicliaQj, as the principals ia the

crimes which they hve endeavored to fasten tpoa others. And we are happy to notice, as the following comcueuU of The Gazette iudicate. that the day is rspidly approaching: The taiinioa of Col. Baker, the war depart ment's chief detective ofScer, to rew lork V break ud the enliaiment frauds, cceaiei like a Ursre applicttbn of the n:!c which chooses the tnot expert rogues for detective puipoies; and it appears that he has carried U out by opening -a false recruiting othce, and pain; full boun ties to all corner, with unlimited opportunities lo deert, and by calling the bounty broker .about bis pretended recruiting ofli.e, and showing them bow loelv it was carried on, and bow there were no nnestion asked, and no rutrd kept. and bow the recruiting ofücers were wholly CorruDt, aod would $h ire ia any manner of fraud After the trap had been thus billed for several days, it was aprung, and the catch is reported as m . B.t,oa . a .a oai or buu bounty recruits, wno are set aown a bounty iumoers. and twenty-seveu bounty bro WW " kers. It ia heralde! as a grett eiroke of genius Io Col. Hiker. It appears to us a great stroke of rascality, carried out at an enormous cost to I the eovctoment. Law doea not justify a con spiracy to make men commit crime, by surround tog them with peculiar temptations, in order to oaviu them. The person who docs thia is the priucipal In the crime, and should be treated auch. Tbe business of bounty broker is not a crime, and the fact that persons are knowu 3 bounty brokers is no reason for fciz'nc them in a body and sending them to a military prnun. 1 he rc eruits whom Biker seized had not deserted ftotn that enlistment, therefore he has to evidence against them except tbe fact th it they enlisted, (it may be hone-uly.) and that he enlisted theto for a trick. Tbe aCTdr disgrace the govern meat. It has committed crime instead of de tecting and correcting it. The greater part of the enlistment frauds all over the country exist by tbe rascality of tbe re cruiting officers. It was known to be the cae especially io New York before lUker went there. Vet hia eoergiea htve all been directed to trappine outside parties, it is the general obser vattoo that there is me irfljenre winch pro tects provost marshals in the most uotorious cor ruption. What has Bker accomplirhed by this trick? Does be expect to abolish the race of bounty jimpem or deserters by bailing them with bountie and facuiliea to desert: He has. not caught any of the leserters. They are at Urge with the biit in their pocket, while ho h caught only those who en !i-ted, and who. &o far aa be knowa, enlisted honejtlr. He enlisted them dishonestly and therefore treats them as criminal Is the rule to be et up that any one who enltats for a bouotj ia to bo treated as a criminal? He has expended, it is aaid, about a million dollar in thee sham bounties, a larpe part of which i m the Docket of men who were fur nihed fcilit!ea to deert. He baa made a parade of nabbing several hundred enliste! men against whom he baa no evidence ot an intention to desert, and whom he ha aimplytran.-formel from recruit? to criminal. And he hts seized twenty seven bonnty-brokers whom he can accuse of to crime that be waa not a principal in. It is aaid that he will send thc-e recruits to General Grant at deserter, to be placed in the front rank in the first battle. Tbis conspiracy will not be likely to help recruiting in New York It is itated that all the bounty jumpers thubitted and encouraged to escipe, and all who en listed and are held, will be credited on the quota of New York Thus the government expends a miMioti in a conspiracy to make men commit a crime, encourage hundred of bountied recruits to deert, treats the recruits that did not deert at criminal, and counts them all on New York's quota. It ia the most rascally brilliant operation of thia age. - The Matlnal Dit'rarr. Tbe Ne York Tribune, The Chicago Tribune, The Chicago Journal, Tbe Cincinnati Gaxette, The Cleveland Herald. Tho Ntw York Independent, with the other leading jourcala of the administration party, pronounce the exhibition of Apatw Joiuvfro at hi inaugurat'on, as Vice President of the United State, a national disgrace. The Chicago Tribute, in commenting upon the affair remarks: - If any man had been a.ked at what time, and io what place aa 1 what manner, the deeoot disgrace could be put upoi the country in the eye of the civilized world, he would have replied witboft bev.ation that it would be just -uch a time, place and manner aa tbia. All the acceone of distinguwhed and t ndurinp scandal wene present, and it appears feat they were employed to ihe fullest extent. Not content with flöurichIrj bis maudlin ecntencea in the eye of the diplomatic re: rcentative of foreign courts. Mr. Johntn addreed a portion of his remarks to them directlj, calling tbetn to witneas that he wi a ppcimen prcd act of American institutions, and tbat be would thank ttiem tu report the fart to their renpective ovfrnmenta.

Quit custodea ruttodiet ? A south ern military foice, permitted for the purpose of preserving internal order, would need a northern army of observation to keep it in (subjection. It is apparent, from the-e congelations, that whatever may bj the 8ucce-. of our arum in the spring campaign we cannot, in alot g time, eafclv disband our armies. If the houthern forces! break up into guerrilla bands, it will rcouirt more troops to occupy and hold the country than it did to t-ubdee it; juit we cou.d have fought a southern navy to ureater advantage than we have kept up a wild gooe thae nfter a few clu Rive privhtters When southern troops sre col lected in a body we know whither to direct our march, and can make a tolerable estimate of the force we ate likely to encounter. But in givin: chase, ovtr a wide expanse of broken and wood cd country, to guerrilla parties that can suddenly unite for an onret, and as suddenly Fcatter fot safety, we shall be liable'to be always out in out reckoning. It will be a transfer to land, with new actors and eenery, of the old play of "hideand go seek in the ocean, where a reat uaTj w so long battled by a few buccaneer. tsut it our armies are not disbanded, now are 0 a a our expen-es to be lightened? This question flies, like an arrow, straight to the heart of the subject. The cost of an army is not in prop r tion to its liaomtv to pitcneo oattles, but in proportion to its numbers and its mobility Whether soldiers fight or merely march and biv ouac, inev mui, to euncr care, eouauv eat ant. be paid. Uutiil omebody sbows us that we cat prudently disband our armies alter one more sue eesaful campuiga, it ia not mlo to look upon the cloe of euch a campa.gn aa the termination of our military burdens. In our reasoning about (tace we are uncoocioualj milled by a false an alogy between a ciril and foreign war. Tbe treaty of peace br wbicb a foreign war ia ended, clones the whole thing up at once. The government with which wo treat becomes repoiible lor the hostile population whose con duct it can bicd. Uut in tue present case, e overthrow the government, and substitute for it our own rule, to which no submission will be ren dered as of right, but only su:h a3 we can extort by compulsion. It hence follows that any fall in gold based upon the expectation of an early reduction ot our military expenses will be but a temporary prelude to a new disappointment. The boreoi a better currency mut, for the present, rest mainly on the financial wisdom of tbe new eecre tary of the treasury. But Mr. McCulloch is so new to tbe office that this ground of conßdtnce requires the cot tirmation of some further te-t of bis quality . X. Y. World. Iloaa- Miernian tat Sent to Writ 1'oint. While the late Sen ttor Hicks was ljiug ill at the MctropoUtan Hotel, he was visited by the venerable Tom Ew ing, of Ouio, who is quite aa weil known. now-a-davs, as Gen. Sherman's foster father and father iu law, as by hi-town eventful record a a t.a!c-m n anl a jurist. The pa pers were then full of the news of the fall of Savannah, aid the conversation betweeo the sick mtn and hi visitor naturally turned uptn Gen. Sficrman Mr. Ewing related how he came to end 'Cun.p" to Wet Foint. He said that Mrs Sherman, his mother, had been left a widow, with a family of small boys, whom be u-ed to pee frequently at play in the streets ol their native town of Lancaster. Ohio. He determined to relieve her of the care of ore of them, aüd selected "Curap" for what he considered the "smartest. ' He Ls.d observed in him a great iugenuitv in the building of mud walls, and all sorts of artificial earthworks, und from this came to the cot.cluiou that he ought to be educated for a soldier. Thi may look Kkc a draft on the imagination, but Mr. Ewing tells it for a fact.

Tbe index on the dial of time may be motionu-., but tbe upwrini& pendulum cr.not paue at the end of the arc; whatever may be tbe propelling power, it rs'iit fall back to its wonted level. There is danger that when the revulsion come t will find the majority unprepared, and the zei - tral suffering be thereby greatly incren?ed. A u time oi pestilence fear ki!U more than dis- . ei-e; so when a naaaciai crau occurs, panic multiplies the cumber of victims. With a view of preparing tbe more thoughtful of our readers for the Inevitable crm. and thereby le?eniog the common damage when it come.J, we hall, in this, and a few pubtuent artic!?, offer some suC3t,"5 relat.ns: to the financial future I. A financial crarh iu-!f is not the wort poo ible termination to an ir.Üition. If we compare the pro2re?i of the latter to the a?cent of an in clincd plane e &hall thn have the question a to the best meinod of recovering the original level. One wav is to come slowly bark down the hill; the alternative is to pi'ch off the top, and come down with a crash. To a superficial observer, the gradual descent would teeni to have all the odds in its !vor. liut experienee has demon-ricd that the uddea fall does tbe le-t permanent damage. 1 here is far more confusion in the cra-h than io the backing down, and itafiut aspect is in comnarbIv more btious. I necrowuea car is a reck, and at fr gltrcc the dnaetrr is asp til me liutwnen the du-t clears awav. tne moritiiar . t as .a .aty is found to be fir less thin feared. Even broken arms and lens arc the exception?, and oruisid udbiitere l c .untenance-, or cratchrd cuticles compri-e the bulk of the it juries. The wort i" kuuwn at one, an J toe work of recupe ration, as far aa it is po$?ible, begins wijhout delav. Hut the other s -lutioii of the diflicultv, the agonv is nototilv protracted, bur increa?ea from hour to hour. All vitality scema u-ptnded. anJ tear curdles ttie Oloou in ttie vem. i he aae . a level ia reached at !a9t, but the Towd peema to have become benumbed Seme never recover Others fctait toward health, but have Ions relapees, during which thev onlv live t suffer. In hört, af the dancer of breaking a lim) is to the probability of a chronic di-eu-e, so ia a financial crash as comp ire 1 to the wa.-tiijC in tuition of gradual collapse. '2. The los of rehl or fantie 1 accumulation- is not serious when it does not impair the capacity fotfib:r. The great teciet ol tbe marvelous elasticity which the -people ol thU cooutry have fhown in recovering from pudden depressions of business is to be f mnd in this fact, that the great majority are eiu ilified for tome clas of labor. In aiistocratic communities, the reduced gentleman has r.o vocation by which he cm recover his fortune, and the continued elevation of the f'avorel few makes the deb tseuunt of the corresponding pauper alike certain and irremediable. In this country the ui-tinctioti of clts-ea is lers strongly maikcd, and ucccs dignifies any call ing. It is true that the hours of lbor iu the fu lure aie to be lengthened preitly by the presume of taxUion. If the national debt U assumed by this generation, at least two hours per day will he added ft) every man's toil. But while unoccupied land is abundant, none r.ecd to sulfer for life's necessaries who are disponed to eat th'ir bread in the oweat of their face. Be.iJes, tie tax on labor mut ere long bo lightened by a change in the Myle of living. This may be done without abridging personal or social comfort. A brge paitot the expendituie of familicij, who re raised above the piefs-uic of immediate want, j ii for mere display. The necessity which limits tha gratification of this vanity will not prove an unmitigated eil. The aveiitics t temptation have beea gteatly multiplied by the effort to maintain an appear ance of gran leur without the afHueuce which it ia intended to represent. Much of this will, of necessity, be swept away, and the people be taught the comfort of simplicity. 3. The great object for all to keep before them, iu view of the probable future, is freedom from entangling engagements Tbe crash or collapse must come, and the consequent shrinking of every man's nominal cipital is inevitable One of the created myneiies to those who J havecongratultte I themselves on theiraccumula ted fortunes will be what has become of their up- ' po-ed wealth. 1 hey have succeeded in the ma- j joritvef their apc:ulitioris; they have met with' no duect losses, nnd they cannot lav their hands I upon the mean th.v thought were so indis- i putaby theironn. The shrinkage of valuea alter a financial in flation leavef no reeordof i: expungin-; process, and is certaiu to disappoint the hopes even of the cautious and prudent. As we have seen, bo ever, this is not a jfrious evil if the mm hiranlf he lift the free u-.e of his industrial facubies. Rut it will be a sad day to thoe who are encum bered with many engagements Debt, unfortunately, will not shrink with the means of discharging them, and miny a man who might gave a K;ug capital from the wreck, if he were not thus fettered, will come out of the trial with nothing about h'ra but the burden of obligation. We mike these tuggestiüH now, not because there is any suflieieut evidence that the hour of settleraert is close at hand, but sirat.ly because there is a pause in the whirl of excitement, and rainy are disposed to listn, aid to question tie future for their own profit N.
