&C., So, sc.

WASHINGTON, July I, 1884.
Directly after the reading OF the journal to-day the
Senate message received from President Lincoln.
1t was opened BY the presiding officer pro tenn.
Several Senators immediately came up and looked at
IT, whom Mr. Grimes moved that the Senate 90 into execu
tive session.
The motion was carried.
The Senate did mot remain IN executive session more
than two minutes, when the doors were opened and u
was ascertained that Hon. William Pitt Fessenden Sena-
tor from Maine, was confirmed Secretary OF the
Treasury.
The vacancy IN the Treasury Department is not yet

To-day VIM. Pitt Fessenden, the successor OF Mr.
Chase, was Immediately and unanimously confirmed by
the Senate But Mr.. Fessenden hesates accept the
honor thus sought TO DO thrust upon him. At
first he peremptorily declined, assigning rs q
reason that his health is completely Frustrated by
the labors Of the long session, and would render
II impossible for him TO administer tho arduons
duties Of the office with satisfaction to himself accep
liability the country He expressed entire willingness
70 make any reasonable personal sacrifice, but he
convinced that he would be unable yscay perform
for few weeks, the labor required OF efficient

Senators and numerous members OF both sides OF the
House to revoke his determination and accept the posi-
ton. Thus urged be agreed consider further During

from different cities urging his acceptance and is
believed that In the morning he will signify his willing
ness 10 do so.

designations except Mr. l. T. Chittenden Register OF tho
Treasury. who bad previously sent in his resignation to

Office Of Secretary OF the Treasury It s understood that
Ex-Governor Boutwell,, Of Massachusetts, will be rendered
the portfolio Mr.. Hooper, tho most active member OF
the House Ways and Means Committee, Is also promi
reptiy spoken Of.
rhe nomination Of Mr.. Fessenden Ii regarded as
Defeat not only or the nice little Ohio combination TO
divide the spos but also OF the well laid plans or MI.

SECRETARY SrANroN's LAST EXHIBITION OF
Among the many acts Of personal rancor
which have marked the official career OF the
Secretary Of War there is not one which Is
more unjust, more insulting to public senti-
ment, or more dscreditable in every way. than
the dismissal Of Colonel Bowman, late Super
intendeut Of the Military Academy at West
Point. The offence of this officer consisted
merely in recognizing the claims of General
Mcclellan to take leading part in the cere-
monies attending the laying of the corner
stone OF the monument which Is about to be
erected to the West Point graduates who have
fallen or who may fall during the present I'M
happy struggle. AS Q West Pointer, as the
commander in many Of the battles IN
which these gallant men lost their lives,
and as man whom the people de-
light to honor, Colonel Bowman could
have made no better or more appropriate Sc
lection. The enthusiasm which marked the
Generals reception by the professors and
cadets, as well as by the assembled company
showed that he was "the right man in the right
place." And how forcibly was this made evil
dent when he came to discharge the duty which
had been delegated to him as the orator Of the
day.
The native modesty Of General McClellan's
character, as well as the delicate circumstances
in which he has been placed since his re-
moval from the Army of the Potomac, have pre-.
vented the public from becoming sooner ac-
quainted with his requirements as q scholar
and public speaker. The discourse which
he pronounced on this occasion sur
prised and delighted those present by the
combination Of rare gifts which it displayed
1t is scarcely necessary for us to add that while
it did honor to q career already illustrious, it
elevated the character Of the Academy, Of the
army and OF American oratory. Edward Ever
EFT, whose style Of eloquence has been cult
waited on the same model, has never delivered
a discourse which will compare with it in pu-
rity and felicity Of diction closeness OF reason
triotic fervor. It was for choosing an exponent
who did such credit to the Academy and to the
commemoration that Colonel Bowman was dis
missed from the position which he has SO USE
fully and honorably filed. That gallant officer
may console himself with the reflection that
the disgrace attending his removal will cast no
shadow upon his reputation. 1t will rest solely
with the rash and arrogant opponent who
allowed his feelings Of malignity to blind him
to the fact that this was an occasion on which
their exhibition was an insult, not to General
Mcclellan, but to the army and the country,
and that 1t cannot fail to be followed by a
widespread and indignant demand for the re-
,moval Of its author.

THURLow WEED PRAIsINa HEAvEN-HRAR
HM-That ancient head of the lobby, Thurlow
Weed, In short pronunciamiento to the Albany
Journal, says there is "hope for the country"
now that "Mr. Chase Il out Of and Governor
Tod In the Treasury Department.. Heaven be
praised for this CLEAN of national sunshine. II
is more precious even than military victory.
1t Is glorious financial achievement. The
long, weary day Of despotism is over. One clog
10 removed" and SO on-a regular rigmarole Of
lobby jobber. He praises Heavenly mis-
take-tbat Governor Tod is in the Treasury De-
partment; Tod Is 90 CLEAN Of sunshine" "more
precious than Q military victory" Tod Is q
"great financial achievement" and the '1ong
weary day Of despotism is over" with the re-
moval Of zone clog" What stuff is this com.
pared with the honest speech OF Balaam's ass!
Why should Tburlow Weed praise Heaven and
run of into a crazy ft Of exultation over the
news that ''Mr Chase Is out Of and Governor
Tod in the Treasury Department" unless there
is prospect OF some five per cent contract for
shoddy or something OF that sort in the wind.
But let not "the Old Man Of the Mountain 90
of half cooked, or jump up and praise
Heaven before be knows how the land lios.
There may yet be Cabinet reconstruction, in
which Mr.. Seward, the Blairs and Weles, 'the
Old Nan of the Sea-" will all 60 by the board.
Honest men may yet rule the roast, and the
reverend IT. W." will then be apt to confess
to himself that he has been praising Heaven
too soon.
