The examination wok place. ,llt, began in the. ; Navy Navy Department; the exist ence of the grossest corruption was estab lished,; and though, for obvious reasons, the guilty have escaped just punishment, the measure has not been wholly unpro ductive of good. It has at least proved the worthlessness, of rulers, who, assuming the lofty title of preservers and reformers of their country, have added to her mie. pries. and increased her burdens, and while trampling, on her liberties have dis sipated her resources for the benefit of the avaricious and greedy of mankind. The report of Senatnr , Rale,• dissented from by Mr. Doolittle, but concurred in by. Senator Buckalew, presents the con tractrmaieing business in a rather singular light. It shows bow the bureau favor; ices have obtained their enormous profits by collusion and fraud. It proves that into combinations were entered and Be are:. information given in order to cheat the government. It shows that the price of one and the.same article varied accord iug to the locality, and thattbe profit was enormous,. ranging in tr.any instances from one. hundred and .6fty to over one thousand per cent, above the fair market value, and profit. It shown how the same merchant obtained at one and the same time contracts for fornishing certain arti cleft, to. the Navy 2 Yards at:Kittery, New York,charlestown,and Philadelphia t and hpiv_he could and did mare:tete malte"a good thing of it," It shows , that after bids had been offered,, and subsequent to their acceptance, the figures therein, by erasures and alterations, were made to represent a value of several times the original amount—that, for instance, one bid originally 0146,725 40, was increased to $22, 585 ( 40-T—and that, the clerks of the Department • certified, aye, even swore before the committee to the honesty of such nefarious transactions. It shows, in short, that, to use the words of the report, in the matter of contracts, the.government was grossly defrauded, and these frauda could not have been tier petratecl without aid from those in the employment in the bureaus:" The com mittee state that, these remarks apply to the bureau of steam engineering, the bu reau, of construction; 4te., and the bureau of yards and .decks.., •.. Such is a very, imperfect and hasty sum mary' of the infamies of the Navy Depart. meat. Some details of these, from the report, will be given in future articles.— The administration which, for so long a time, overlooked, or connived at such things, . must be indeed,,depraved. But for, the action of the, committee these frauds would have continued unchecked —perhaps, th e y; are repeated even now. Justice to the country demands that they be exposed, and 'we shall endeavor to make known to the people the conduct of their unworthy rulers.

Thefirst effort must be to a rouse the people; to bring whatever ef fort is made upon, a plain level with -the masses, and thtis ensure their full, earnest and dearly.co-pperation. This 'mut lA debamplishid by precinct and township clubs.— Such oilanizatious can brink' Within their operation all the Democrats- in each locality, and in this manner make them efficient. The fre quent meeting of these clubs, extending, as their action would, over but a' small amOiint, of territory, would . Make the Dem ocrats familiar with each 'other, cement them together as a band of brothers, and infuse fresh life and activity into all move ments of 'a' party 'character. More than thii, in such' a club each member could make a careful canvass of the oppOsitlon in his neighborhood, note the numbers; mirk the surroundings of each persons, and thus be 'prepared on election day to prevent fraud and 'insure a fair expression of opinion at the ballot-box. If the work be thus divided and sub-divided,' but a small portion will fall tp the lot-ofbncb; and hence it can be Welt llime, and all the ground covered. As this matter is important to the suc cess of the Democratic ticket at the com ing election; we urge - npon the Democra cy to organize clubs in each precinct at once. There is no time to be lost. Each moment is precious. The period for ac tion has armed. Our candidates are in the field, and if Success is to crown our efforts, it must be at the price of orriti ized and well-directed labor. The contest will be fiercely fought by the abolitionist.. They Kill not let go the sword and purse; power, patronage and shoddy contracts at the mere bidding of tbe'Deniocracy.— The contest'of 1863 should be remember ed by the Democracy when they spepu late upon the coming election. But im portant changes are taking place in every precinct, and an over-the Commonwealth —and it is to take advantage' of this change in public opinion that local organ ization should be attended to. If a man is willing to acknowledge his errors, to confess that he has been wrong, in the past, in almost all cases he will at With the party that opens the path by which relief may come. This road is through the success of the Democratic party, and it must be pointed out, and voters be urged to travel that Way, by the united action of all friends or the country' 'the Constitution, and the laws. At all events, the Democracy should attend to this mat ter of precinct and township or.ganiza tion at once, and the most glorious re sults will flow from labor thus directed. Reader I Do not wait wait for some body else to begin this_ good work in your neighborhood. Begin yourself! Be gin to-day'! ' The Rebels fear Meleilan.

RE* Scoundrelijo.:, Surgeon Genera; - Hammond has been 'tried by court, _marttalt-and- T found guilty of ,sislc . .eA ihdfAccand - sontep Ind " to be disraissedThim-the.service." It 'seems It from the veryday *of - hiaappoiutment he wae...a,partner with several other "loyal." Republicatie.inewindlingthe Government. He parehased-darnaged medicines at akor bitant prices, With the understanding that . he and his ,partnm in crime were to share the profite,-_which.they did. The_ blanket. he purchased were ..unfit•for use,snd the 'medicines - be „adtniplste t ed- to,, sick and, wounded Soldiers, were utterly worth btit yet.' ho htid the :oOvernment charged enormously fdr articles he ordered. The amount of his defiliaition amotints,to - Oilliiiiii. let - this is;ttot- the worst feature of his conduct. Thowittiida of soldlers have died because '64 au net receive - good medicines and .good eta. And for these devilish crimes ho is "dismissed the service"—that is all. It will be remembered that at the titan Hammond was appointed to the high'ithd very responsible,position ofSnr geon Gen eral, we expressed our af.tetlishmitt:r., We know him.' He is a young man, and' never had reputation of a great phy: sioian or surgeon. His appointment Wag an outrage, and it was his politics and not his professional character thatgave him the position. Certain prominentT,epubli. cans of this State—Curtin, Cameron and others—backed 'him up, and he 'was ap. pointed over old and experienced and honest surgeons. Oh, bow plain it is that the Itepublican s are " the soldiers friendsP If they can make money by killing our wounded and•bteeding - soldiers, of donne they will do it, but at the time they kite the soldier very: 'lunch. .Heavens, what heartless villians and liars some men are.— Carlisle Volunteer. , Men who will not pledge themselves to vote for Mr.. Lincoln "need not apply to this Administration fOr - work, however we'l they may have served their country. Here is a case in point, which we find in the New Yoik Herald of a-few days since: "I am an honorably discharged soldier of tbe Third 'United States Artillery, my discharge dated . July 2, 1884. Yesterday Morning I applied at the Navy Yard for and nresentedmy discharge, expecting that the proof of honorable ser vice might secure , work there. I was ask ed if I was a supporter of the present Ad ministration, and t replied that I was. wab 00 'asked - if I would vote for Mr. Lincoln, to which I returned an emphatic negative; `whereupon I was -told to go about mybusiness, that I would not get no work there. I deem further comment unnesaary, but through the Herald beg to lay the matter before the country. ' MICHAEL MALLON. Referring to the important success of Gen. Sherman at Atlanta, which has fully - vindicated the good opinion which Geo. McClellan expressed of Gen. Sherman, when, being called to the chief command of our armies, the former endeavored,Sho' in vain, to secure the services ofGenerul Sherman as his chief of staff, the New York World remarks : " It is pitiful to think how the splendid achievements of this gallant soldier, and of Grant, and of all their comrades in arms, will be cheated of their proper fruit. Our victories do not bring in the golden day of peace ; for sn administration hot& power at Washington whose purpose is to prolohg the war till a disurtioirpeace is inevitable—an administration which made no use of Farragnt's victories on the Mississippi, except to organize cotton stealing expeditions up its various tribu taries, or of Grant's conquest of Vicks burg, except to gut the southwest by Treasury* permits in the lipnds of Repub lican thueveti.• Were MOClellan in power, the victories of oar armies would be-used to:restore peace and establish the Union. By Mr. Lincolo they will only be used to make peace impossible." -We world like to' know the exact amount of money Gen.
