The Bhannpiul misconduc* of G iv. Curtin and
his military advuersand assistants at Harr -Surg,
in the equipment and provisioning of the S'ate

.both Administrations in everything tl.ev do, or

ID?*"" A new insect, entirely unknown to |
practical entoinoDgls!*, has lately made its ap- j
pea ranee in Bedford. It is known by the g*n- j
ral appellation of Trrrisen-smctler. It made !
its appearance oo the streets on Sunday last,
getting into the rfothe* of a very piom old gen- I
tleman named R>-a, whom it induced to button- |
hole some of the Volunteers for the purpose of j
"spotting" Secessionists. So furiously was j
this Christian gentleman b-set wi'.h the attack? I
of this evil ir?pct, that he forthwith ?p"-drd to !
Camp M*Call am! strove his best to precipitate '
a riot between the soldier? and some ot th- fit- |

the matter in the Trioune office ? The Admin

there. Tiie Editors declare that Mr. Harvey
is admitted io be guilty, and yet the Tribur ? is
able to announce on the highest authority that
Mr. Harvey ha 9 not b-en recaiieu ! Perhaps
tfiej will givt. us an explanation of that word

Nlr- Harvey atn il|v • 1 • Hr> liiav m.m lha'.

admitted his guilt, therefore it is admitted ? Be
frank, gentlemen, and wh-n you publish ta the
woi id that an abs tit n an is an " admitted trai

and if you can't tell us, then for decency's sake
suspend your wholesale spec stations on pa-a.vr,-

But this is not (he onlv grievance of the
Tribune. Tne Government has restored a com
mission to some officer who has heretofore re
signed. We are not lamihar with the circum
stances, but the Tribune savs that it's about the
same thing in the Government, as it would have
been to give Arnold a commission alter the ex
ecution of Andre. This is is a mild and genft
remonstrance comprtd with si me of our
cotemporary's remarks on the times, but
hen applied to the Administration,
arid ! he President, especially, it seems much ai
if the Tribune's notions of ireason were getting
to be personal toward men in office. Last
week the Tribune proved conclusively that it
never betrayed Government secret 3, bv showing
that two other newspapers betrayed them also.
Now we shall have nil equally lucid explana
tion ot the Tribune's c urse in intimating that
"he G 'verument gives commissions to num as
i.ad as Arnold bimgelf; Tnat we mav do no
irju-tice to the Tribune, ••• copy U exact
words :
From the yVeio Y -rk Tribjre. June 2Oik.
We learn from a source not likely to be rrai
in' rmed that Nir. James E. Harvey fas not
bc<in recii.'td from the Portuguese mirsion, al
though there is ample arid unquestionable evi
dence of his complicity with the traitors of
St th Carolina. If any uncharitable persons
.should .suppose that Harvey s me btrr.ng
t' rugh mysferiotis h< !d, not upon the Secreta
ry ot State, but on prominent friends of his,
ctapply interested in contracts, and that the P.ws
idi-nl is not aware of the facts, it would be dif
ficult to deny that appearances were in favor of
their hypothesis.
Quite A DlM: hence. —Some time ago the
Secretary of war, General Cameron, aw arded
a beef contract to a number of political jug
glers, headed By his chi>T associate, George M.
Lauman, of R ading, for which the Govern
ment agreed to jay eight dollar r per hundred,
live weight—equal to fou/le n or fi'tetn ten's
per pound for the beef.
The juiblic indignation manifested at th.s
species ofrobbeiy, it is presumed, induced Mr.
Cameron to rescind the contract with Lauman
St Co., and having advertised for furnishing
b> el for the Army,a wealthy Illinois cattledea
ler has agreed to deliver at Harrisburg all the
beef needed at three dollars and ninety cents
per hundred pounds. From this it will be seen
that Lauman & Co., must have been realizing
over one hundred per cent, profit. They,
however, ailege tnat their ci.:.tract is without
limit, and claim damage,-, ike. Shameful a*
(hit swindle was, it is no worse than the op
erations charged upon perspps connected with
our State administration to the matter of fur
niching equipments for the volunteers; and, in
view of the state of the 'tmes, the character of
the men holding the purse strings, Sec. fitc.,
instead ot con plaining, pethapa, the people
ought rather to feel thanktui that things are po
worse, and thai there is some prospect of it liv
ing Uiipprtf. Put thv er-d N notyei.— Cl*orj"l4
