It via s a fatal error. '1 ha radio::!, indeed, h look to certain leaders and follow them Mindly. I j i : t the conservative masse follow no leader now.

Yet nothing is done. In purer days of the republic. Society itself would haveexchiiuied against such monstrous wrongs, and fixed a stigma on the perpetrators. But now there is evidence of a dead ened public conscience a lax moral sentiment which connives at crime, and the offender goes unwhiped of justice. This should not be permitted any longer. The opportunity atTonled for demonstrating the impartiality of law of pulling down from their dazzling height one or more of these cormorants, gorged with the spoils of oftocs they have dishonored and trusts they have betrayed. This favorable moment, we say, should not be lost. The moral effect of such action would, outweigh all the sermons of a thousand pulpits; it would make crime infamous; it would vindicate the public virtue : it would check tho depletion of the Federal treasury, and arrest the hoadlong career cf corruption and fccQigacy into which tho natkn i3 plunging. Tho Idll which has passed thff enat to punbh fi.-.udu'ent contractors, was introduced nono too soon. For wiiat ara Abolitionists Thankful?

We are, or at le.tst houl 1 be, i good and true, citizens, thankful for such cf the dispensations-of Divine grace and favor upon ou? country as will tend to advance its prosperity and benefit its citizens generally. We did not believe that any man in the loyal States, and more especially a person occupying the exalted position of a United States Senator, could find anything connccted with tho frightful disaster to our arms at Bull Hun and on the Peninsula to be thankful for, except that the defeat and daughter of our troop was no grca-1 tor. But it appears that tho insano aud murderous spirit of abolitionism find? cause for rejoicing over those calamities, as instanced by the following extract from I c0e,i "J mou party "I thank God that the Federal arms were defeated at Bull Bun and on the j Peninsula, and under Pope : for, without such defeats, wo should not have had the Emancipation Proclamation. Had we won at Bull Uun, or taken Uichmond, the backbone or the rebellion would have ! l'ocu hroken, and the Union would have been restored with slavery remaining in it." This man Trumbull had the audacity who thank God that our holdiers arc defeated, because it is of advantage to the negro, is held np to us as a represcntaUai'ipaigns against iJicbuoai

Enormous Frauds on the Ooverument ' ,

-Report of Mr. Grimes. Fragmentary as arc the dito osures yet madi of the recking rorrnptiM that infect the transactions of Ibc W ar ' department, enough has come to li?bt to hw that ever ince the be-innin of the war that department has been a nest of thieves and swindlers. The select committee, of which Mr. Griiucs is chairman, arc retr'.oted to the in-vos-iaticn of frauds in transport f.r the War Ifcunrtmeiit They made on report in January relating to the swindles practiced on the -ovcrnmom in chartering vessels lor tne It .i, ..wnp.lirion. which they have now lot- . l-.wed up bv another giving the history of other heavy "frauds perpetrated in the transport service. We print this morning as much of this last report as we can tind room for. Though far troni being attractive reading. there is nothing which bo challenges the attention of peojiie who must bear the hpavy peconiarv burdens of the war as these sample of the way in which their resources are squandered to'eurrch a corrupt herd of con tractors, in whose enormous profits it is im- J possible to resist the conviction max government officials phare. Mr. John Tucker, As eistant Secretary of War, is severely rebuked in the report" for his complicity m these dishonest transaction, and the publio will see in them additional reasons for the prompt removal ot the bead of the department. Whether it is vigilanco or integrity that he lit for his place! Hut . . . ,, l.Iicve blia eO 'jlind to it i. impossible to believe him po blind Wiltlt 13 jZ9 U cf Oil UllUOr U ! n U"au o aii. .n -k ..l,,;,. r its renoit.

It is but simple justice to hold the Repub lican partv roponsible for these frauds. Not by any means that bonety is monopolized bv a'ny political yarty ; but tbe party iu possession ot the government having the whole power of aprointuient and removal, ot making honest and annulling fraudulent contracts, cannot shirk tne responsibility for dbhuuest transactions. When frauds arc perpetrated it is because those having tbe power have not tho will to prevent or punish tii era. The wh le course and policy of the Republican party have been favorable to the perpetration ot frauds. Its warfare upon the freedom of the pres rud ittouipts to intimidate free criticism havo fettered the most prompt and ready means by which scoundrel ism is dragged to light in season to interfere with its success. The absurd importance givcu to the negro question, and tho manner in which public ieelimr ha beeu inilan e 1 on that subject, have afforded a cheap refuge against public censure. When every anti abolitionist is marked out for denuncia tion, and everv tlvick-and-thin abolitionist if beshmrcd v Kh panegyric, a man suspecteuoi swindling tho government has only to come out as a red-hot abolitionist to find a mantle of charity cast over his sins. It has accordingly happened that every prominent conFervative or Democrat who has beeu put in an olliee affording facilities for swindling the government, has immediately turned siboiitiouist as soon s be found himself yielding to temptation. Pinion Cameron in the Senate was the most conservative man iu tbe Ke .publican party. lut when as tbe head oi th War Department he fell under suspicion of complicity with dishonest army contractors, ho put so much abolitionism in his annual report that the President compelled him to suppress it. In pursuance ol the same tactics, a few days after his late attempt at bribery came flight, he professed the intention of ieadrng a negro regiment into the heart of the slave territorj-. Iu much the same way General Butlers rule at New Orleans, w hich is supposed to havo made him rich, mado him also, a staunch emancipationist. And, not to multiply examples, Mr. whose 0l.dcr Xo :j . H peiBtentjv Ta. ed at by the 7'rifjune, are both entirely acceptable to the abolitionists, sdnee they are in a position to couuivo at fraud., by which they may profit The frauds brought to light in the renort of Mr. Grimes are merely a part of those perpetrated in the transport service; but the whole business of sending expensive rxpiditions by sea was a purely nbolition conception. They wure sent to the southern coasts and landed-at points where the negro population w as most douse, in the expectation that they would cause a ceneral uprising oi the slaves. They have done no good ; they have proved costly failures; they have dispersed and frittered away our army ; they have added enormously to the expenses of the war; they have enabled dishonest ship brokers and all sorts of dishonest people to get suddenly rich. All these consequences are chargeable upon tho abolitionists who originated the expeditions; who set them on foot to gratify their fanaticism, and havo used them to gratify their avarice. N" V. World. Arming Abolitionists. The State Sentinel says that Gov. Morton ia dispensing the arms of tho State to Abolition military com panies to be used to overawo Democrats. The Sentinel says: A gentleman from Lebanon tell us thst a company 1as been organized in that town. every member of which is a bitter enemy of democratic men ami nieasure.e, and thatthe arms snt from here are for their use. They pretend to belong to the Indiana Legion, Jut some ot them openly boast that they intend to take the rifles nnd shot guns from the eitiren of the country who refuse to full down and lick the dut,lrora the. feet of Abraham the First W rather think they will hare a happy time when that game is commenced. They may parade as much as they please, and flaunt a many feathers us suits their fancy, as long as they behave themselves, but they had better not nurse the idea in their fanatical heads that they will be suffered to shoot ball cartridge at their peaceablv disposed nxuhbors with impunity.

NEWS ITEMS.

-The Louisville papers publish a list of over one thousand names, the inmates of the military hospital in that city who died between the first of March, 1S62, and the fir.t of January, 1SG3. t period of ten months. There are hundreds of these hospitals scattered Wer the eountry. The list looked tous like an indictnu.ht affarn-,t abolitionisnL and on. of the numerous strong peace arguments that daily come under our observation. It is reported that six deserters from Fort Suranter recently arrived on board our blockading squadron off-Chariest on, They report that most of the garrison threw down their arms and refused to light longer under tho Confederate flag. but other troops arrived and compelled them to return to duty. It ii quite evident that wide pread discontent prevails throughout the rebel army, aud that the soldiers are sick and tired of tho war, and about the name may be said of the rank nnd file of the Northern armv. It is therefore possible that the ambitious and fanatical blinded loaders or rulers iu both, sections may possibly resist an hon-1 orahle compromise of difficulties a little too far. A goneral order has been issued pro hibiting the sale or circulation of newspapers in the army of the Potomac. The government is evidently afraid that tho soldiers should be sufliciently well informed of transpiring events to discuss them and more especially tho policy of the government itself. Earl Derby, in the House of Lord, Kuglatid, stated that he had no objection to make to the course of the government in regard to the American war, hut regretted they had not joined with France in the attempt to effect an armistice and cessation of hostilities, as would lead the two parties to reilect on the miseries and hopelessness of the war in which they are engaged. Tho abolition papers announce that a long list of officers, who have uttered disloyal hentiments, has been prepared. They are to bo dismissed and the list pub lished. These "disloyal sentiments consist in not approving tho emancipa tion policy of tho administration. The day will come, and that speedily, that the fact of any officer, civil or military, having been summarily dismissed by this administration ior an expression of senti ments, will bo indisputable evidence of true loyalty and manly integrity. Frauds to the extent of Twenty-five millions have been discovered in the Quartermasters Department at Washing ton, all perpetrated within tho last few months by "Unconditional Unionists."
