The payment of twenty-one millions of cur rency from the treasury yesterday is relied upon a fresli asauranoe of Bpeoulative activity The plethorio condition ot the city banks has already driven up the prices of all securities, and with the increased ease which the Trea sury disbursements will occasion will probably came more buoyancy or ballooning of stock. "Wall street, In fact, appears to be in the midst f one of its periods of felicity, and those who are thoughtless enough to regard its prosperity as a Bign of national well-doing may possibly congratulate themselves upou the advent of a new era of riches. It is hardly necessary to put on reoord a Warning against a delusion so palpable as that on which Wall street builds its happiness. So Jar from being a matter of exultation, the ex traordinary ease which distinguishes the jnoney market is one of the worst symptoms of our financial position and of the stagnation under which the industry of the country suf fers. The primary cause of the abundance of currency is the inability of its owners to find profitable use for It in the legitimate channels of industry and business. Manufacturing en terprise i3 at a stand-still. Trade is dull. And 4hnnih ereat expectations rtreva.il in rfYrnr.o to the harvest, it must be remembered that the I labor of the bouthern Southern States is dis organized, and that the failure to reconstruct their levees involves great injury to some of their most important crops. These circum stances explain the flow of capital to Wall Street. But for tbem it would have beneficial employment in the direction of material pro ductiveness. Its idleness is a sign of evil days, and no amount of speculation in stocks can make it otherwise. The case is rendered worse by the connec tion that exists between the over-abundance of currency and the recent modification of Mr. McCulloch's financial policy. The announce ment that the progress of reducing the publio debt is likely to be stayed, and that for a time at least the contraction of the currency is to he suspended, operated like a charm upon the Speculative fraternity. To them it was a pledge of renewed vitality. To all besides it was equivalent to a confession that the de pressed state of the country forbids the pro secution of measures that are essential to its Safety. Not to reduce the debt is to proclaim a diminution of revenue, which again is a cer tain indication that business is unprosperous. .And a pause in the contraction of the currency implies as well the diseased condition of na tional finance a3 the prolonged suffering which attends inflation. It is clear that were we marching steadily towards the resumption of Specie payments, currency would not accumu late in bank vaults at the present rate. From which it follows that the renewed speculation in stocks is the result of national misfortune, not of national wealth. On what tenable ground, then, can it be con tended that the recent rise in the prices of stocks is in any manner connected with im proved values? The railroads, for example, can only prosper when the country is prosper ous. When trade and industry are active, xailroads thrive; when both are depressed, xailroads must suffer. The causes which con tribute to ease in the money market are, pro perly speaking, reasons for a decline in stocks, so that the advances we are called to chronicle are the product of speculation merely, not of aDy bona fide appreciation of value. fraud! on the Government Necessity of Immediate Action by Congress. From the Herald. The amazing and lately discovered frauds on the Government, through the evasion or non collection of the tax on whisky and other arti cles, cannot fail to arouse the attention of the people to the utter inefficiency of the Secre tary of the Treasury. The evil has reached Such a magnitude that Congress will be guilty of gross neglect of duty if it should not imme diately demand the removal of Mr. McCulloch, and a thorough investigation into the ruinous mismanagement of the Treasury Department His incapacity is costing the country some thing like two hundred millions a year, and is fast bringing the republio to a state of bank ruptcy. Should Congress be so unmindful of this startling fact and adjourn without de manding histnnmediate removal, we shall pro bably lose another hundred millions betweep this time and the meeting of that body iu De cember. ' We shall find ourselves having a de ficiency in the revenue and unable to meet the expenditures of the Government, at the same time the people are taxed to the limit of for bearance, and at a time when there ought to le a superabundant income. The facts are bo astounding that even the friends of the Secretary cannot itrnore them. One of our trimming contemporaries of this city, while attempting to expose some of the frauds in whisky, tobacco, and petroleum, en deavors to whitewash Mr. McCulloch. Iu the face of these revelations it speaks of his skill and wisdom in managing the financial affairs of the nation, and tries to shift the responsi bility on his subordinates and on President Johnson. .,, But no forced apology or labored misrepresentation can deceive the people as to the really responsible party. Mr. McCulloch la to blame. To blame, we say, but that word Is too mild; guilty is not too strong a word for Such gross neglect of duty. Suppose a man at the head of any large business establish ment should permit fraudulent agents and outside rascals to steal more than a third of his employers' income, and bring them to the brink of bankruptcy, how should we charac terize his conduct f We should say it was little short of being criminal, if at all, though the delinquent might not be reached by the laws. What is the difference between the case of Buch a person and that of the man at the bead of the Treasury 1 None, exoept in the offense being magnified in proportion to the amount ot the loss. The guilty manager of a business firm may lose his employers ten, fifty, or a hundred thousand dollars; Mr. McCulloch has lost the people and Govern mnt, whose servant he is, hundreds of mil licES. Let us repeat the facts which we have stated bv 'ore, in order that the publio may not lose Si,, ht of them. Sixty or seventy millions of g;. ;lons of wbiaky a year are manufactured in tJ U country. This must be regarded as a low ef 'mate when we consider that ninety millions a A ear were produced before the war. The ta'-. is two dollars a gallon. The revenue from tb article alone should be from a hundred and twenty millions to a hundred and forty jni .'Hons; yet according to present returns the an unt will not reach twenty or thirty mil lien?. In plain terms, Mr. McCulloch has THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, su ffered the Government to be defrauded about a hundred millions a year on whisky alone. Jake the losses from other spirits, to'ofln, petroleum, and from all the rest of the frauds on the Treasury, for which the Secretary is directly renpow.ible, and we shall find that bis management costs the nation about two hun dred millions a year. We confine ourselves here simply to losses in the revenue; but if we look at the evils of his administration in sus taining the infamous national bank swindle, by which the people are defrauded of over twenty millions a year, and the industry of the country swallowed up by a monstrous moneyed monopoly, with all the other evils arising from his utter incompetency, he will appear to be the most costly administrator of the Treasury that this or anr other country ever had. But his weak apologists attempt to lay the blame on the President, on the Treasury agents, and on the rascals who practise the frauds. The President will be to blame if he does not remove the Secretary, now that the fnnta are known f.n lilm flmf tj tt v.- t .. - .u. .tiny lOj i 11 T bUU power. At all events it is his dutv to lav tl. matter before Congress, and to do what he can to Stop BUch Wholesale robberv of the Unvam. ment. The Secretary, and not the President, administers the affairs of the Treasury. We hold him responsible for the conduct of his agents or subordinates; for he selects them in the first place, can remove for cause, and it 1 his duty to keep a vigilant eye over all. He is inexcusable. Then, as to Bmueelers. Der- jurers, and robbers of the revenue in every way, mere are laws to punisu tuem, and if lie did his duty in brincrine them to raunishment he would soon stop the frauds. It is all bosh talking about the hich tax on articles beintr the cause of evading the Revenue laws. In other countries taxes on some of such luxuries are higher than with us, and yet thev are col lected. Why not here ? It seems to us that Mr. McCulloch is more intent on managing the patronage of the Gov ernment in this vast Internal Revenue depart ment, as well as the national bank system, as a political machine, than he is for the interests of the Treasury or the good ot the country. He acted with Chief Justice Chase in the organization of both, and while his political and financial chief has been on the bench he has worked the machine upon the same prin ciple and for the same object. From beginning to end Ihese men have shown a surprising combination of stupidity about financial mat ters, with a great deal of political cunning. We have now, however, reached a point in the ruinous mismanagement of our national finances beyond which endurance cannot go. Congress, as we said, ought not to adjourn without seeing thnt Secretary McCulloch be re moved, and that a thorough investigation be made into the frauds upon the revenue and the management of the Treasury Department. The country will now hold that body responsi ble, and a fearful responsibility will rest upon it if it neglects its duty in such an important matter. Crueltlea to Prisoners. Yrom the Ti-ibune. Mr. Fernando Wood is reported by tele graph as having stated in the House, ou Satur day, that "The New York Tribune had distinctly charged that cruelties had been perpetrated ou Kvbel prisontrs," Mr. Wood can find no warrant in our columns for this assertion, which he has caused to be flashed all over the country, so that it will be read and believed by thousands who will never see this contradiction. We have so often requested that those who see fit to cite the Tribune as their authority for any statement should quote our precise words, in stead of putting forth a3 ours what they may find it convenient to attribute to ns, that it seems useless to renew the demand. Fair minds do not need it; the other sort wilfully refuse to heed it. We do not know that Rebel soldiers were ever starved or otherwise maltreated 'while prisoners of war. As, however, the number of such prisoners, from first to last, probably exceeded two hundred thousand, and they were from time to time under the complete control of many hundreds of our officers re spectively, it would be all but a miracle if none of them were ever misused. Still, we do not know that they were, and have not asserted it. What we do know in the premises is, that the Rebel authorities long since charged our Government or its agents with unjustifiable inhumanity to their soldiers whom we held as prisoners, and that this charge was put forth so circumstantially and responsibly that it is likely to glide into history if not met and re futed. v In the winter of 18G4-5, a Joint Committee of the two Houses was raised by the Confede rate Congress sitting at Richmond, and charged with the duty of investigating the alleged cruelties in the treatment of prisoners by either party to the war. That Committee proceeded to take testimony (which we have not Been in detail) and to make a report thereon, from which (omitting the defensive portions) we quote as follows: "in exchange, a nnmhi.r nf Cnnfnito .ui. and wounded prisoners have been at various t lines delivered ut Kicumoud aud at Savannah. The mortalitv among these on the passune and their condition wheu delivered, were so cleplomble as to Justify the charge that they had been treated with inhuman neglect by the Northern authorities. 'Assistant Burgeon Tlnsley testifies 'I have Been many of our prisoners returned from the North, who were nothing but sklo. and bouea.

"Thus it appears that the sick and wounded Federal prisoners at Annapolis, whose condi tion has been made a subject of outcry and of widespread complaint by the Northern Con gres, were not In a worse state than wero the Confederate prisoners returned from Northern hospitals and prisons, of which the humanity and supplier management are made sublects of spi elal boasting by the United Htates Hanllary Commission." After some commendation of the treatment of sick Union prisoners in Metr hospitals, the Confederate Committee proceeds: "This humane and considerate usnge was not adopted in the United dimes hospital on John, son a inland, where Confederate sick and wounded officers were treated. Colonel J. II. Jlolmau thus testifies: 'The Federal authori ties did not furnish to the sic It prisoners the nutriment and other articles which were pre scribed by their owu surgeons. All they would do was to permit the prisoners to buy the nu triment or stimulants needed; aud, if they hud no money, they could not get them. I know this, for I was in the hospital sick myself, and I had to buy, myself, such articles as ejus, milk, Hour, chickens, and butter, afier their doctors hail prescribed them. And i know this was generally the case, for we had to get up a fund among ourselves for this purpose, to aid those who were not well supplied with money.' Thl J statement la confirmed bv the testimony of Acllnx Assistant Hurgeon John J. Miller, who was at Johnson's Island for more than elirht months. When it Is remembered that such arti cles as eggs, milk, and butter were very scarce and high-priced in Richmond, and plentiful and cheap at the North, the contrast thus pre sented may well put to shame the 'Sanitary Commission,' and dissipate the self-complacency with wh eh they have boasted of the superior humanity in the Northern prisons aud hospitals." After some further defensive testimony and logic, the Committee proceeds: "Your Committee gladly acknowledge that In mny cases our prisoners experienced Kind and considerate treatment; but we nre enuilly assured that iu nearly all the prison stations of the North at Point Lookout, Fort ftlc Henry. Fort Delaware, Johnsoo's Island. Elmlra, Camp Chase, Camp Douglas, Alton, Camp Mor ton, the Ohio Penitentiary, aud the prisons of St. Louis, Missouri our men have suffered from insufficient food, aud have been subjected to ignominious, cruel, and barbarous prac tices, of which thero is no parallel in any tblna thnt has occurred in the .South. The wit nebses who were at Point Lookout, Fort Dela ware, Camp ftlorton, and Camp Douglas, testlfv that they have often seen our men picking up the FCibps and refu.se thrown out from the kitchens, with which to appwaae their hunger Dr. Ilerrlugtou proves that at Fort Delaware unwholesome bread and water produced diar rhoea in numberless cases among our prisoners, aud that 'their fullering were greatly aggra vated by the regulation of the camp, which for. bade more than twenty men at a time at night to go to the sinks. I have seen as many as five hundred men in a row waiting thoir turn. The consequence was that they wero obliged to use the places where they were. This produced great want of cleanliness, aud aggravated the disease.' Our men wero compiled to labor in unlcading Federal vessels and iu putting up buildings fot Federal officers, and, if they re fused, were driven to the work with clubs. "Tte treatment of Brigadier-General J. H. Morgan and his officers was brutal and Igno minious in the extreme. It will be round stated in the depositions of Captain M. D. Logan, Lieutenant W. P. Crow, Lieutenant James it. McCreary, and Captain B. A Tracey, that they were put in the Ohio Penitentiary and com pelled to submit to the treatment of felons. Their beards were shaved, and their hair was rut close to the head. They were confined in convicts' cells, and forbidden to speak to each other. For attempting to escape, aud for other offenses of a very light character, they were subjected to the horrible punishment of the dungeon. In mid-winter, with the atmosphere many degrees below zero, without blanket or overcoat, they were confined in a cell, without fire or light, with a fcetid and poisonous air to Dreatne, ana nere they were kept until life was nearly extinct. Their condition on coming out was so deplorable as to draw tears Irom their comrades. "The blood was oozing from their hands and faces. The treatment la the tit. Louis prisons was equally barbarous. Captala William H. Bebring testifies: "Two of us, A. C. Grimes aud myself, were carried out into the opeu air in the prison yard, oa the 2oth of December, 18G4. and hand-cufled to a post. Here we were kept all night in sleet, snow, and cold. We were re lieved in the day time, but again brought to the post and handcuffed to It iu the evening and thus we were kept all night until the se cond of January, lSlii. I was badly frost-bitten and my health was much impaired. This oruel infliction was done by order of Captala Byrnes, Commander of Prisons In 8t. Louis, lie was barbarous and insulting to the last degree.' "But even a greater inhumanity than any we have mentioned waa perpetrated upou our pri soners at Camp Douglas and Camp Chase. It is proved by the testimony of Thomas P. Hollo way, John P. Fennell, II. H. Barlow, II. C. Bar ton, C. D. Bracken, and J. 8. Barlow, that our prisoners in large numbers were put into 'con demned camps, "where small-pox was prevail ing, and speedily contracted this loathsome disease, and that as many as forty new oases often appeared dally among them. Even the Federal officers who guarded tbem to the camp protested against this unnatural atrocity yet Itwasdone. The men who contracted thedis. ease were removed to a hospital a mile oir, but the plague was already Introduced, and con tinued to prevail. For a period of more than twelve months the disease was constantly in the camp, yet our prisoners during all this time were continually brought to it. and subjected to certain Infection. Neither do we find evl dencesotaroeudmeiitou the part of our enemies, notwithstanding the boasts of the 'Sanitary Commission.' At Nashville, prisouers recently captured from General Hood's army, eveu when sick and wounded, have been cruely deprived of all nourishment suited to their condition; aud other prisoners from the same army have beeu carried into the Infected Camps Douglas and Chase. Many of the soldiers of General Hood's army were frostbitten by being kept day and night in an exposed condltiou before they were put into Camp Douglas. Their sufferings are truthfully depicted Iu the evidence. At Alton and Camp Morton, the same inhuman practice of putting our prisoners Into camps infected by small-pox prevailed. It was equivalent to mur dering many of them by the torture of a con tagious disease. The Insufficient rations at Camp Morton forced our men to appease their hunger by pounding up and boiling bones, pieking up scraps of meat and cabbage from the hospital slop-tubs, aud even eating rats and dogs. The depositions of William Avres aud J. Chambers Brent prove these privations. '1 he punishments otten Inflicted on our men for slight otlenses have been shameful and bar barous. They have been compelled to ride a piUL-k only four inches wldo, called 'Morgan's horse;' to sit down with their nuked bodies in thoiiuow for ten or fllleen minutes, and have been hubjected to the ignominy of stripes from the bells of their guards." These Inculpations, we have seen, were publicly made, more than two years ago, in the report of a joint committee; they are professedly based on aworn testimony, in good part quoted therein ; and they have thus far received no epecitto contradiction. We trust that they can be refuted or very materially softened by counter-testimony, and we are anxious that Buch testimony shall be taken before those able to give it shall be mainly dead or scattered to the four winds of heaven. We ask Congress, since it has too tardily resolved to investigate the treatment of our men while prisoners, to make the inquiry gen eral and thorough to demonstrate our readi ness to face the whole truth. Yet the House refuses to do this, and on motion of Gen. Wasu burne,;of Wisconsin, adopts the following : " M'hei eas.

"- IT'XMIOPH lo shn 1h.lt. nr. -General Washbunie we have esteemed a wise and able man; but this performance is not among those on which that Judgment is ionuded. There is not a sympathizer with "The Lost Cause" on earth who will not triumphantly read and cite it as evidence that the Republicans dare, not make a full aud fair investigation of the treatment of prisoners by each party in our late civil war not even lw fore a committee of their own choosing and the impartial world will be likely to agree with tht'in. Suppose a European historian writing the history of our great struggle, with the Confederate report aforesaid before him and only General Washburne's preamble and resolve to weigh against it can there be any doubt as to his conclusion ? The United States and Mexico. From the World. It is to be hoped that no premature light ning will result from the present clash of two extremes of public sentiment in regard to Mexican affairs. The ingenious schemes of radicals in Congress to entangle this country in a league with the Juarez Government, and the ell'orts of parties elsewhere to organize a filibustering expedition across the Mexican border, are alike unnecessary and injudicious. The end to be attained for the benefit of the United States, and individual American inte rests in Mexico, will be best subserved, now, by a little dignified reserve. In the first place, the so-called Juarez or Liberal Government of Mexico is, and has been ever since the year 1805, acting by the merely nominal consent of the people, to supply an emergency that existed during the war. It has never been ratified by a popular vote; and there are too many rival aspirants for the Presidential office in the Liberal party alone setting aside the pretensions of the leaders of several thousands of Mexicans who are still bearing arms against the sham Liberal Govern ment as to render it questionable whether it will be so ratified. The house of Mexico is still divided, aud sub-divided against itself. There is, in its present anarchical condition, no definite assurance that a stable government, recognized and obeyed by the people, and authorized to treat for the people as a united nation, exists in Mexico. In the second place, the passions of the ma jority in the country, who have opposed the attempted empire and the Church party, are at present so aroused against all foreign inter vention, or even sympathy, as to have already sanctioned the most opprobrious measures to wards Americans, and the most contemptuous expressions towards the United States Govern ment. At this moment of triumph the recol lection of the previous course of Secretary Seward touches at once an affected Castilian pride, and provokes a savage and unreasoning animosity in the hearts of a rabble which, having safely bid defiance to the European monarchies by spilling the blood of prince, believes itself quite able to defy a republio whose boasted power and prestige the history of the last three years ha3 naturally taught it to distrust. To express sympathy with a Government of such uncertain and illegal tenure, or with a people whose purposes are so iuoonstant that no one can know whether they have escaped the rule of a foreigner to obtain consolidated liberty, or to plunge anew into useless war- lare among themselves, would be a gratui tous mockery. To hasten an offer of assist ance to, or a hint of alliance with, Mexico under these circumstances, would be to de grade us as a power and a people. To emigrate in a hostile manner into the territory of a population which has shown itself to be so bar barous and unmanageable, would be, for those who should attempt it, to court inces sant turmoil, defeat, disgrace, or a death as ignoble as that dealt to Lopez, Clay, and Maxi milian. The ultimate fact is that we can well afford, for the present, to let Mexico entirely aloue. Charity and hnmanitarianism begin at home. The United States Government will be more imposing as' a missionary abroad when it has shown itself capable of ministering to and healing existing evils within its own bounda ries. The Mexicans disdain our influence; let us see how long they can do without it. They talk independently at this crisis, but they are bankrupt and needy. Where are they to get aid? Not from Europe, certainly, after what has occurred, and surely not from any South American State. They are threatened, too, with further complications with Euro pean powers. Difficulties are certain to thicken around them, and the blind. insulting course which they have always pursued in their diplomacy will probably hasten another crisis. We have thus a pros pect of being sued for the very sympathy and assistance that, if offered now, might be thrust back in our teeth with scorn. We shall then have an opportunity to intervene in Mexican affairs to some purpose. We shall then be in a position to demand rights for the United StatesXIovernment, and security for American citizens , and their interests in Mexico, in exchange for loans and an alliance that the Mexican people will at last be forced to accept. We shall then have taken, in a manner befit ting our dignity as a nation, the first inevita ble step towards the establishment of a pro tectorate, which, by enabling us to infuse a leaven of American industry and enterprise into a country whose soil hungers and thirsts for both, will finally give us the control of that country unquestioned and entire.
