LONDON, FRIDAY, FEB. 5, 18G9.

The interval between the election of a new Presi-
dent of the United States and his actual accession to
office, is somewhat awkward for all parties. He who
is still at the White House exercises, indeed, the
legal authority, but his power is fast on the wane. It
is known that its term is rapidly approaching,. and
the busy crowd of eager expectants which ordinarily
surround him, begin to turn their attention in ano-
ther quarter, and pay their homage to the rising
sun. This is naturally to be looked for, and no one
can justly complain of it as a hardship, but a recent
attempt to curtail the authority of the PRESIDENT,
during the last few weeks of his term of office, has
not succeeded. It has been proposed in Con-
gress that the Senate should refuse to sanction any
appointments made by Mr. JOHNSON, lest they should
interfere with General GRANT. The good sense of
the members has not, as yet, adopted this inva-
sion of the ordinary routine. It is said that the
movement was started by friends of GRANT, and that
he himself has given his sanction to it for fear that
the incoming administration should be embarrassed
by Mr. JoriNsoN's appointments. General GRANT
however, must not expect to be free from the ordi-
nary drawbacks and discomforts of power. He has
Congress in his favour at present, and need not there-
fore anticipate the same unceremonious treatment
of his appointments by the Senate which Mr. JOHN-
SON has had to encounter, and unless he excites the
personal hostility of the dominant party it is impro
bable that there will be the same endeavour to cir

cumscribe his patronage.
This same question of official patronage is of wider
interest than it seems. It is one of those points on
which Americans cannot fairly claim to be in advance
of ourselves. The patronage of a PRESIDENT is con-
siderable, and as in the States there is not much po-
litical work done without some strong motive, the
division of the vacant offices among the new PRESI-
DENT'S followers becomes a matter for serious con-
sideration. Those who have interested themselves in
his election have often done so on the pledge of a
share in the good things in the gift of the
chief ruler of the States, and one who has been
long and intimately acquainted with the people
has regretted that a President should often be ham-
pered during all his term of office by the pledges which
he has given before securing his election. It is not
very likely, under such circumstances, that the best
man will always be chosen for the best place, and the
confirmation of appointments by the Senate, which is
constitutionally necessary, is no doubt intended as a
check upon any imprudence on the part of the Pre-
sident, but, at the same time, it gives rise to inconve -
niences. This was shown recently when personal and
party feeling prevented the Senate from approving
any appointment of ANDREW JOILNSON'S, whether it
were good or bad.
If recent rumours are to credited, General BANKS
must certainly be looked for among the members of
General GRANT'S new Cabinet. It seems, from a
story current in the New York papers, that GRANT,
who in his earlier days was known to be disliked in
high quarters, was at one time iu imminent danger
of political and 'unitary extinction. It was resolved
by the Washington authorities that he should be
superse led, and positive orders were sent to General
BANKS, then investing Port Iludsen, to take
the cernmand of GR kNT's army before Vicksburg.
BANKS protested on the ground that the abandon-
ment of his p)sition would be highly prejudicial to
the Federal c tuse, bat a more imperative order was
seat, against which BANKS again remonstrated. A
direct censure arrived from Washington, when the
sudden fall of Vicksburg converte I the unpopular
commander into the hero of the hour. The Washing-
ton authorities were glad enough to keep the secret
of their blunder to themselves, and General BANKS
thought it prudent to do the same until GRANT'S
election to the Presidency, when he has made it
known, expecting, no doubt, that the news would
have weight with the modern ULYSSES.
The much-needed reforms in the commercial legis-
lation of the States are not as yet progressing very
fast. The action of Congress is not hopeful, the
Senate having passed the Copper Tariff Bill increas-
ing the duties on imported copper. The Bill passed
the Lower House in December, so that although it has
to go back with some amendments, there is little
chance of a more enlightened decision being
arrived at by the Representatives. Some of its op-
ponents are clinging to the hope that the PRESIDENT
may be prevailed upon to veto it, but the symptoms
of progress are thus not very encouraging. There
was, however, some plain speaking in the Senate
during its passage. Senator FERRY of Connecti-
cut declared the bill to be not only unjust in
itself, but dangerous as a precedent to special legis-
lation, which he believed to be always unwise, and
he reminded the House that they had heard before
the alarming cry, that the copper interest would
perish without protection, and yet it turned out
that the copper production in the Lake Superior
region had actually increased. Another Republican
Senator said that no interest in the country was
satisfied With the existing tariff. The wool interest
had been specially protected without any good re-
sults, and now it was proposed to single out an-
other interest and to legislate specially for it. This
Senator, however, objected to the bill rather on the
ground that it was piecemeal legislation than be-
cause it was protective. It seems curious, notwith-
standing the treason lately talked in Manchesteritself,
to find members of Congress openly declaring them-
selves in favour of a bill which is to raise the
duty on copper 300 per cent. A Republican from
Oregon pronounced in favour of protecting all Ame-
rican interests, and said he was prepared at the
earliest possible moment to support a general mea-
sure, which would prevent excessive itnp ortations.
We may suppose that the principle of the bill was
very popular in the Smate, for it was passed by a
vote of 32 to 11, an-1 it was decide] that it should
take effect innuediataly.

The success or failure of this particular measure
may not be of much moment, but it is infinitely to
be regretted that the American Congress is so far
behind the age in commercial sagacity. When even
France is learning to appreciate the advantages of
free and unrestricted commerce, and the most ex-
clusive governments of the Continent are gradually
but surely beginning to acknowledge the force of
the English example, the United States stand
resolutely aside from the path of progress,

crown of righteousness laid up by the Lord, the righteous judge who
liveth and reigneth one God with the Father and the Holy Ghost,
world without end. Amen.

The benediction, pronounced by the Archbishop from
the dean's stall, brought the long service to a close. The
Proceedings of the enthronement were not, however, over
with the ceremony in the choir. There yet remained the
installation of his grace in the Chapter House, whither
the choristers, lay clerks, minor canons, King's scholars,
schoolmasters, auditors, the six preachers, honorary
canons, and canons proceeded in a procession, leaving the
choir by the north door, and passing through the north
aisle and martyrdom, at end of which walked his grace
the Archbishop, attended by the archdeacon, dean, and vice
dean. Here the Archbishop was placed in the chief seat,
and the following affirmation was administered by the
Archdeacon :—" My Lord Archbishop,—You declare that
you will maintain the rights and liberties of this church,
and will observe the approved customs thereof, and, as
far as it concerns your Grace, will cause the same to be
observed by others as far as such customs are not repug-
nant to God's Word, the laws, statutes, provisions; and
ordinances of the realm, as to her Majesty's prerogative,
and not otherwise. The Archbishop having declared the
archdeacon, the dean, the canons, the honorary canons, the
six preachers, the schoolmasters, the auditor, the minor
canons, the grammar master of choristers, the surveyor,
the organist, and lay clerks promised canonical obedience
to his grace as their diocesan and archbishop. The
assembly was then dismissed by the Dean, and an account
of the proceedings was afterwards produced and signed in
the audit room in the presence of a notary public. The
congregation, at the request of the authorities, did not
follow the procession from the choir into 'the Chapter
House.

The congregation was a very large one, and the number
of clergy was very marked. Not less than two hundred
of them joined in the procession. Four bishops there
were—their lordships of London, Oxford, Rochester, and
Ely,who,together with Dean Stanley (as proxyfor the Bishop
of Winchester) accompanied the Archbishop to the marble
chair. Dr. Tait looked exceedingly well in his robes, and
seemed to have begun to survive that worn look which over-
work in the diocese of London had laid upon hint Of
course the "mayor and corporation" were present, and shone
forth in all the splendour of their "State dress." After
the service there was a luncheon in the new library of the
Cathedral given by Mrs. Alford, where a large party met
the new Archbishop.

EXPERIMENTS AT SHOEBURYNESS%

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.—The discovery of a
,oP per vein in Wales is said to have been made by a work-
ing miner, nearly 80 years old, on the Great Grime's Head.
The vein is said to be four-and-a-half feet thick, with
other veins below it, " which will realise him a fortune,
and do immense good to the town." The old man's name
is Hobson, and he has long been exploring the Head.
We are glad to be able to state, upon authority,
that the First Lord of the Admiralty has not for a
moment entertained the project for amalgamating the
medical with the transport and victualling services, under
the charge of an admiral, to which we last week referred.
We happen to know that the scheme was completely pre-
pared for submission, but has been nipped in the bud.—
British Medical Journal.

MR. BRADLAITGII'S CASE. —Mr. Charles Bradlaugh.
writes to the papers :—" Permit me to state that I have
this morning searched the registers at Somerset House.
The Sporting Times is not registered. Another paper with
the same name was once registered ; but this was before
the popular journal of Dr. Shorthouse came into existence.
I believe Dr. Shorthouse would contend, as I contended
at the trial, that his publication does not come under the
statutory definition of a newspaper."
THE SENIOR WRANGLER.—Some attempts have
ocen made to detract from the merit of Mr. Hartog as
Senior Wrangler, on the assumption that he is of more
advanced age, and therefore of more mature mind, than
his competitors. This assumption is founded on the fact
that Mr. Hartog had taken a degree at the London
University before proceeding to Cambridge. It appears,
however, that Mr. Hartog was matriculated at the
University of London in July 1862, being then 16 years
old, and that, having obtained the highest honours attain-
able in that university, he entered himself at Trinity
College, Cambridge, in 1865. In that university, having
passed through the usual course, he presented himself for
examination in the Mathematical Tripos in January 1869,
and came out Senior Wrangler at 22 years of age. A
much more serious question for Mr. Haan is the fact
that by the existing regulations at Trinity College he is
debarred from being elected a Fellow, and that his Senior
Wranglership is likely to be a barren honour so far as
college preferments arc concerned.

WORKING OF TIIE VOLUNTARY PRINCIPLE.—A
correspondent writes :-- " The animal meeting of the
church of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, under the pasto-
ral care of the Rev. C. 11. Spurgeon, was hell on Thurs-
day, when reports of the various branches of work were
read. These chew that during the past year the weekly
offerings in the boxes at the doors, for the support of the
pastor's college for educating young men for the ministry,
amounted to £2,000, or nearly £4O per week, a large pro-
portion of which has always been in pence. For the same
object donations have been received to the extent of
24,300 more. For the relief of poor members k." 770 were
contributed at the communion table ; and a sum of £6,600
expended for the erection of almshouses for the aged, For
Sunday and ragged schools, tract and other societies, col-
lections made produced nearly £l,OOO ; and a sum of
ELM was lent to other churches for the erection of chapels
in which to worship. Contributions for Stockwell
Orphanage, about £7,000. All these amounts are in addi-
tion to the rents received for the seats, and are therefore
purely the result of the voluntary principle, and make in
41 the noble sum of upwards of £20.000.
