seat in the Cabinet. Pressed by these gentlemen
GRANT thus far revealed his intention that a Radi-
cal of Philadelphia would bo 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. GEARY, 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 CURT!.
Mr. CURTIN'S name had been kept so constantly
before the public by the party which favoar 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 men
pledged to repay by place the political support given
which has introduced so much corruption. CuRTIN'S
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. To
the eulogy of Ex-Governor CURTIN, and to the im-
portance of his nomination in forwarding the objects
of the Republican party in Pennsylvania, GRANT
signified his acquiescence, quietly adding that be
did not intend to appoint Mr. CURTIN, nor permit
the Pennsylvanian Republicans to form his Cabinet.
Having failed to seat the man he carried in his
right hand, Col. M'CLURE set to work with his left
fist. The names, he slid; of GEORGE H. STUART,
BORIE, SMITH, and others had been mentioned ;
appoint none; for they are men unknown to the
Republican p irty of Pennsylvania. Although for
ten years he had been an active politician of the
State, yet he had never met Mr. GEORGE 1L
STUART. GRANT upheld and expressed his ad-
miration for Mr STUART. lie intimated that
he might not be the mall, and closed the interview
with these remarkable words, " I am not the r -
presentative of a political party, although a party
voted for me ;" and Colonel M'CLURE left, con-
vinced that the PRESIDENT intended to organize lug
Cabinet without the aid of politicians. Next day
Congressman O'NEILL, of Philadelphia, presented
himself to correct the erroneous impression that
GEORGE H. STUART was unknown iu Pennsylvania.
The appointmentof chat gentleman would thoroughly
satisfy the Republican party, and the Pennsylva"
nian, to whom he was unknown, must be himself
unknown in the State. GRANT approved of all he
said; but he hinted that, if appointed, Mr. STUART '5
delicate health would preclude his acceptance of
the post. The subject of this wasted energy has
e
resided for twenty-five years in Philadelphia, where
be is a large importer of Manchester goods, his
brother being at the head of the British firm esta-
blished in that city. He is a native of the north of.
Ireland, and a strong Presbyterian, being best
known as President of the Christian Commission, a
ruling elder of the Reformed Presbyterian Church,
treasurer of the Board of Foreign Missions, pub-
isher of the Church Periodical, and an eloquent
speaker in the Church Courts. This episode has
taught GRANT the wisdom of his course in declin-
ing to name the officers of his Cabinet before his
inauguration.

D. S. Reynolds, Superintendent of the Police,
Captain Henry Dickson and two detectives of the
Niagara Frontier Police, are on trial before the Police
Commissioners of Buffalo, charged with criminally and
unlawfully kidnapping two men, on the night of Jan• 11
and carrying them to Canada for a reward. -

The correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger
writes :—" On the 4th of March next, when General Grant
ceases to be the Comtnander of the Army, or sooner if he
should resign before that time, the command will devol"
upon Lieutenant-General W. F. Sherman, the next in
rank, and all General Grant's staff officers will formally-
tender their resignations. If General Sherman should not
re-appoint them, General Rawlins will still remain a brig
' dier-general. It is believed that ho will bo nominated to
some good civil position. General Badeau will fall back
on his commission as First Lieutenant of the Fourth In-
fantry. General Porter will fall back to Major of the
Ordnance Department. General Comstock will be Dialer
of the Engineer Corps. General Babcock will be a's° a
Major in the Engineer Corps. Colonel Parker will be tit
First Lieutenant of tho Second Cavalry. General De%
will become Major of the Fourteenth Infantry, but will,
is thought, go with the President to the White
Colonel Leet will continue as Major in the Adjutant-
General's General's Department, and Colonel Webster will be
„or
signed to some important pust in the Quartermaster's J-17.3
partment, if not retained by General Sherman, which
more than probable."
