tells very curious story about Congressman
from Rochester who made several hundred
dollars by selling commissions in the army.
This is only one instance Of Congressional cor
ruption: but how many more are there yet un
exposed! There is ex-senator Simmons, who
had the coed sense to resign seat he was
manifestly unworthy to fill; and, spropos Of
Simmons there is Senator Anthony, who unfor-
tunateiy has not yet resigned. For twenty
years Anthony's tuppenny Providence paper
has lost no opportunity to strike feeble blow
at the HERALp. Latterly it has grown very DUP
and tame. Let Anthony resign and attend to
it at once. His journal needs him, aud Con-
gress does not.

'THE CORPORATION PRINrINa.-Let the people
remember that the money now spent in Corpo
ration printing is mostly bestowed upon news
papers which conceal rather than publish the
Corporation advertisements; that Our democra-
tic municipal Office holders use a large part Of
the patronage of the city government to sus-
tan the rad.ca, republican papers, and that
this misusage OF the public moneys is intended
evidently as bribe for future or hushmoRey
for present concealnenta of rogueries We
hope and expect better things Of the new city
officials, who come into power on the LIST Of
January next; and if thorough, honest reform
is begun in this city il may be soon extended

ler, President Of the Papermakers' Association,
shows tte overbesring insolence Of monopolies
" However you Try writhe under the necessary
advance in the price of paper" says Butler,
you must pay it." In other words. Butler
tells us that as long as he and his associates
can mako money by taxing knowledge and
making the poor man pay dearly for his news
paper or 60 without it, just SO long this paper
monopoly will keep UP the prices. Let Con-

on foreign paper to three per cent, and we shall

that the Emperor is persisting in his offers Of

A Cabinet Crisis At yvashingtOn-RcsiR
nation or Mr.. Seward.

A Cabinet Crisis 1T yyashingtOn-RcsiG-
nation or ME-. Seward.
There is at last Cabinet eisis at Washing
ton. The intelligence which We publish this
morning upon the subject is very curious, ex-
traordinary and significant. II appears that
with the first developments of public indigna-
ton in reference to the late appalling Frede-
ricLsbTg tragedy, and with the first signs of o
powerful popular pressure upon the admins
trsti0n against the laundering heads Of the
War OA!ce, and the disorganizing faction with
which they are associated, the radical
leaders OF the Senate took the alarm and pro-
cceaed TO action. They held caucus or two,
they fixed upon the Secretary Of State az the
proper scapcgoat for the late disaster: and.
whatever else may follow, they have gained
their immediate object Of Mr.. Stewards resigna-
tion.
When the hunter on the prairies discovers
the light Of a sweeping fire among the dry
grass in the horizon, be knows that 10 stand
still is destruction, and that he cannot
escape by fight He has but one course
Of safety, and he adopts ii. He lights
another fire in the dry grass around him
which, burning away from him, clears o circle
which secures him when the fiery hurricane
from the windward comes roaring by. Upon
this idea the radicals of the Senate have acted.
Discovering that the fiery whirlwind Of public
opinion was sweeping down upon them from
tue North. they have kindled an opposing fire
which they hope will secure their safety. il
appears, however, that in their first caucus,
embracing all the republican Senator's . reso-
luton Ievelled directly al Mr.. Seward secured
only bare majority, and that, a. this was not
deemed . sufficiently strong expression from
the party, second sitting Of the caucus was
held st which more general resolution. sug-
gesting partial reconstruction Of the Cabinet
was proposed and almost unanimously adopted.
But it further appears that the republican con-
| servatives supported this resolution because IL
! suggested complete Cabinet reorganization,
including the War Department, and that from
this expression Of the republican party Of the
! Senate the President il not only authorized but
recommended to reconstruct his Cabinet from
beginning TO end
4 What will President Lincoln do We can

example Of General Jackson In new CRbinet,
including, especially, the Treasury, ths War
and the Navy departmental in addition to the
Department Of State.
AS for Mr.. Secretary Seward, II will. by the
impartial historian Of these times, be said Of
him that he stood in the criminal Cabinet of
President Lincoln--as General Cass stood in
that Of Mr.. buchanan and Us Secretary Marcy
stood in that of poor Pierce-a lead and
shoulders above his fellows, and the master
mind of the administration. Rut more
than this will he said Of the present
retiring Secretary of State. 1t will be said Of
him that, coming into this office witA the ante
cedents of the most ultra of Northern radicals,
lie proved himself model of conservative
statesmanship. not only in regard to our deli
cate foreign relations, but in every contingency
in which his official voice or Individual views
were called for touching the domestic policy Of
the government and the prosecution of the
war; 1t will be said Of him that, reso!utcly
casting aside all considerations of personal
ambition and part san schemes, he devoted his
energies as Secretary Of State TO secure the
harmony of the Cabinet the success OF the ad-
mnistration and the prosecution of the war
not for the Jack-o'-lantern OF negro emancipa-
ton, Unicn or no Union bu: for the restoration
of the Union
We know tlat ii has been fer some time the
desire of Mr.. Seward TO retire from Cabinet
in which Presidential intrigues and cross pur-
poses, and blunders and corruptions, rule the
hour. We know that il will be a welcome re-
lief to him TO escape such company; but who
ia to take his place President Lincoln would
retain him at all hazards, we believe, if he
would only consent to reconsider his resigna-
ton. But we az prehend that it is too late for
this; and SO the momentous question still re-
ours, who is to take the place Of Mr.. Seward
In the Cabinet IF il Shall prove 70 be sound
and able conservative, then we may anticipate
some other encouraging step in the same di-
rection; but if radical Of the Sumner, Wade
or Wilson stamp is to be installed in the State
Department, without any compromising Cabinet
change in favor of the other side, then we may
anticipate the transmission OF this war as Pre-
sident Lincoln's legacy to his successor in Office
The issue is with Mr. Lincoln, and we still hope
for the best.
The New York herald., 1862-12-21

to fear that their ultimate destination b the
Mississippi
To anticipate the movements Of the
crafty Napoleon and to hold him in check
Is the mission Of General Banks. He will
occupy Texas with his troops, and prevent
the improper shipment Of cotton by the Rio
Grande; and at the same time he will cut OF the
supplies Of provisions and beef from Texas
for the rebel armies of the Southwest and Vir-
ginia He will also probably isolate Florida
from the domnons Of JEFF. Davis; but above
ali. he will keep the French out Of the Mssis-
sippi, and cooperate with the expedition de-
scend ng from Cairo to keep that great "inland
sea" open from its hesdwaters, near the
Canadian frontier, TO its mouths. in the Gulf Of
Mexico. II the Emperor Of the French has any
sinister designs in the Mississippi he will thus be
checkmated by a superior force already in pos
session, and the iron-aads under the command
Of Admiral Farragut will give his Normande
Roland for its Oliver. Let him therefore now
show his hand az fast as be pleases. We are
ready for him. If the intentions Of Napoleon
are misunderstood then TIC Union troops can
be turned To good account in the vast region
which will comprise the department of General
Banks.
It will thus be seen. how important is
this expedition e. the Gulf, and how criminal
the conduct of those who rsked its destruction
in rotten ships. Let their punishment be in
proportion to their crime.
