seat in the Cabinet. Pressed by these gentlemen
GRANT thus far revealed his intention that a Radi-
cal of Philadelphia would be nominated. In-
stantly there was a blaze of excitement in the
city of " Brotherly Love," and Colonel M'CLURE
hurried into GRANT'S presence with a man in
his right hand to put into the seat, and his left
hand clenched to knock another out. Ex-Governor
CURTIN, General CLAY'S successor as Minister to
St. Petersburgh, was M'CLuRE's nominee and that
as well of a very strong portion of the Republi-
cans of Pennsylvania, Gen. GEarts, the Governor
of the. State, together with Justices READ, AGNEW,
and WILLIAMS, had requested that the Cabinet seat
should be conferred on him. Col. M'CLURE proceeded
as the agent of that section to Washington, and,
after an interview with Colonel FORNEY, made his
way into Gen. GRANT'S presence, and urged in a
set speech the nomination of ex Governor CURTIN.
Mr. CURTIN'S name had been kept so constantly
before the public by the party which favour his
election that he had little chance with GRANT, not
that he is in any way personally unqualified, as the
reverse is the case, but because the appointment of
the head of a political section is that, of all
others, GRANT desires to avoid, for he must be the
Representative of a hungry host, and it is wen
pledged to repay by place the political support given
which has introduced so much corruption. CuirrlNa
friends even pushed him for the Vice-Presidency
on the same ticket as GRANT, and they have
succeeded in getting him a place. In yielding
to the pressure from Pennsylvania GRANT would
be breaking down before the first push. T°
the eulogy of Ex-Governor CURTIN, and to the ire'
portance of his nomination in forwarding the objects
of the Republican party in Pennsylvania, GRANT
signified his acquiescence, quietly adding that 11e
did not intend to appoint Mr. CURTIN, nor permit
the Pennsylvanian Republicans to form his Cabins!.
Flaying failed to seat the man he carried in his
right hand, Col. M'CLURE set to work with his left
fist. The names, he said, of GEORGE 11. STUART,
BORIE, S3IITH, and others had been mentioned ;
appoint none ; for they are men unknown to the
Republican p arty of Pennsylvania. Although for
ten years he had been an active politician of the
State, yet he had never met Mr. GEORGE IL
STUART. GRANT upheld and expressed his ad-
miration for Mr STUART. He intimated that
he might not be the man, and closed the intervie
with these remarkable words, " I am not the re"
presentative of a political party, although a perty
voted for me ;" and Colonel M'CLURE left, coo:
vinced that the PRESIDENT intended to organize hi.'
Cabinet without the aid of politicians. Next day
Congressman O'NEILL, of Philadelphia, presence ci
himself to correct the erroneous impression tha
GEORGE H. STUART was unknown in Pennsylvanitl.
The appointmentof that gentleman would thoroughif
satisfy the Republican party, and the Pennsylva,
•
nian, to whom he was unknown, must be bun h
,s
e
seh
unknown in the State. GRANT approved of all P
said; but he hinted that, if appointed, Mr. STUARI:f
delicate health would preclude his acceptance:
the post. The subject of this wasted energy n'o
resided for twenty-five years in Philadelphia, where
he is a large importer of Manchester goods, h
brother being at the head of the British firm est 3•
Wished in that city. He is a native of the north of
Ireland, and a strong Presbyterian, being be'
known as President of the Christian Commission' a
,
ruling elder of the Reformed Presbyterian Church'
treasurer of the Board of Foreign Missions, Ptib,
isher of the Church Periodical, and an eloquent
speaker in the Church Courts. This episode
hes,.„,
taught GRANT the wisdom of his course in
ing to name the officers of his Cabinet before
inauguration.

D. S. Reynolds, Superintendent of the Police+
Captain Henry Dickson, and two detectives of tae
Niagara Frontier Police, are on trial before the P°lil
Commissioners of Buffalo, charged with criminally $lll
unlawfully kidnapping two men, on the night oflati•
and carrying them to Canada for a reward.
