in such a condition that President Lincoln had
great difficulty In finding man to take ms
place. Finally Mr.. Feseenden accepted the po-
sition; but he was so disguised that he soon re-
signed. Then a creature and financial di5oipleoi
Mr.. Chase, small country banker from lnois'ha
and the Comptroller OF the currency, was
made Secretary. Through the Chase intiu-
ence and because no statesman ooulo De Iouno
willing TO take charge of the department in its
condition at that time, Mr.. McCullooh was,
unfortunately, elevated to the position. Since
he became Secretary, our financial affairs have
been going from a bad to a worse condition.
He has been foundering about in ignorance
of where he was or what to do. At one
time he raised the cry of on to specie pay
ments, in chorus with the same radical
organs which nearly ruined the country
with their "on to Richmond" cries, and at
another time he stops the contraction of the
currency because he sees the revenue going
and ruin staring him in the face. Had it
not been for the wonderful resources of
this great country, the Treasury would have
been bankrupt before now, under his misman-
agement. Should he remain Secretary tY sOr
three years longer, there will be reason so fear
bankrupt Treasury, Notwithstanding all our
national resources and the surprising industry
OF the people. No people or government can
stand long such incapacity as he exhibits, and
the stupendous frauds and losses that are the
consequences. To save the Treasury from
bankruptcy, the republic from great financial
disasters, and himself from blame, the Presi-
dent should suspend Mr.. McCulloch at once,
and appoint some experienced inancier and
able statesman as Secretary of the Treasury.
This only can save the Department from inn
pending danger.

positions, affections, attaohments-with a
turn for nigger melodies and the like" By
which it does not seem to have occurred to the
angry old gentleman that ''nigger melodies"
are written and sung exclusively by white
men, who blacken their faces with burnt cork
in order to attain by art a status in humanity
which they were denied by nature. "Ser-
vantship says our grumbler "Ought to be
a contract for life;" to which he adds, "and
this was already the nigger's essential posi-
ton." What pity it is, therefore, that
American slavery has been abolished "The
American case" he says, is "begirt with
frantic abolitionists, fre-breathing like the
old chimera." Accordingly, he throws cold
water on the abolitonists, in order to put
out the incendiary flames. ''The nigger's
case, " he adds, twas not the most pressing in
the world, but among the least So" And the
wrinkle-faced, shaggy -browed cynic is actually
in pet because the good-natured nigger has
had the luck to get his unimportant case SO
early attended to. The grim critic describes
the British colonies in general as ''all ungoY-
erned, and nine-tenths of them full of boa
constructors, rattlesnakes, parliamentary elo-
quences, and emancipated niggers, ripening
towards nothing but destruction" He then.

General Grants Position.

from The Chicago Republican.
1t is useless to deny that the acceptance
by General Grant of the Office of Secretary of
War, even though it be temporary, has dis
appointed many of his most cordial friends
and ardent admirers. Here in Illinois we
nave not been in the habit of questioning the
propriety OF his conduct, our admiration for
the achievements of the man having been so
great as to almost preclude the idea that II
was possible for him to make a mistake. he
swung around the circle' with Andrew John-
son, and his friends were satisfied with the ex-
PLANTATION "that he was obeying the ORDERS
OF his Commander-in-Ch Chief. she made ie" OF

ItRlY-ROme.
From the ". Y. Tribune.


General Rufus King, our late Minister to
Rome, has closed the shop and returned to his
own country. In this he has done exactly
right. Congress refused to make an appro-
priation for his salary after the 30th of June
last and he took the hint as became gentle
man by birth and breeding. From no dislike
or distrust of General King, but because it
believed the mission no longer required, Con-
gress stopped the salary; so the General con-
sidered his mission at an end.
Rome is a part of Italy. Her people are
Italians; the walls of her capitol should echo
the debates of the Italian Parliament; they
,oOuld do so if her people were not awed into
servility by foreign policy and foreign bayo-
nets. France, Austria, and Spain say that
Italy shall not have her ancient capitol, and
Italy is forced to wait. But it was a scandal
and an amazement to the republicans of Eu-
rope that this country should seem to be a
silent partner in the conspiracy against
Italian unity. Let us take care that she be

The Martyrs.

From, The ". Y. Evening Express
We really do not see what the radical breth-
rem are going to do. The "Martyrs" are null
tiplying so rapidly on their hands that they
cannot tell what to do with them, or where to
put them. When the President elected Mr..
Stanton from the Cabinet, the other day, the
sympathiesi of the brethren were aeutely
touched, and in moment of gushing benevo-
lenee some of them resolved to make him a
candidate for the Presidency-if only to spite
President Johnson and the Copperheads.
But now that General Sheridan has also
been shown the back door, the ''moral idea"
party find another martyr upon their hands.
He, too, must be provided for. But hosc is the
thing that perplexes them. AS there is only
one President TO elect, it is perfectly clear that
the nomination cannot be distributed among
several. In this dilemma, we trust it will not
be deemed an impertinence on the part of the
Express to suggest to our radical friends a ready
mode OF freeing them from their embarrass-
ment. We propose when the Rump Con-
gress reassembles next winter, that the Con-
stitution be so amended as to provide for the
election OF several Presidents and Vice-Presi-
dents. The power to accomplish some such
change in the fundamental law is undoubted,
AS the same power has been exercised in vari-
Gus other cases, why not in this 7 To make
assurance doubly sure, the majority have only
to turn out Of their seats the few Democrats
that are still permitted to sit there. They
have the ''power" to do that too, and as they
have not scrupled to exercise it time and again
heretofore, when some ''moral idea" was to be
realized, it is not to be presumed they will
hesitate to avail themselves of it now, when
martyrs" are to be provided for. All the fat
offices of right belong TO the radicals, and if
President Johnson expel the one, or remove
another Tor cause, ways and means will neoes-
sarily be found to repair the loss. Hence the
necessity, under existing circumstances. of

the treachery of Mr.. Johnson will make the
people more cautiousin the future as to whom
they will support for the Offices of President
