that has prescribed a code Of equal rights for

sTANTON's EXPLANATION AND HIS
FATE

Mr.. Stanton has explained why he re-
fused to resign when the President res
quested him to do so. A Washington
special to the New York Tribune says
at comes out tonight, from Mr.. STAN
toms friends directly, that the late Secre-
tarv, in explanation of his remaining in
the Cabinet after he had discovered that
his continuing there was against Mr.. John
sons wish, says that he would long since
have resigned his position as Secretary of
War, but for the fact that he received a
letter signed by most OF the Republican
Senators and Representatives in Congress,
requesting him 10 remain the Cabinet, as
they alleged, for the good of the country
and the preservation of the Republican
party"
The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier says of his fate:
"The case of ex-Secretary Stanton has
practically ended. Several Senators who
hitherto were disposed to sustain him in
his quarrel with the President have turned
against him. Since the fresh expose of his
duplicity, the ex-Secretary has fallen so
low that none will do him reverence"

New YORK, Dec. 24.-The Commercial

been entered into between the. Adams,
American, United States and Merchants
Union Express Companies, which takes
effect on the LIST of January, 1868, and is
substantially as follows: The net earnings
of the Companies are to be consolidated
and divided thns-Adams' per cent "a !;
American 23@; United States IS; Mer-
chants's Union 262. The territory or line
Of the Companies are to be subdiVided so
each shall occupy the same in proportion
totheir earnings, except at principal points
such as New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Cincinnati, Chicago, Buffalo and St. Louis
and some other offices of the four Compa-
MES are TO be consolidated and the express
generally reduced. The entire manage
ment Of the business is pnt 10 the hands
of Board of Contol, consisting of one
member from each Board Of Directors,
which four shall choose a fifth, who acts

tons as those previous to the time of the
Merchants Union Express Company going
into business, will be adopted.
The gale of yesterday afternoon de-
stroyed the new Buck building in Second

4 leading aud digniGed journal has
made lubored analysis Of the causes OF

political subjects The result is the con-
clusion that it is derogatory to his char
acter as man of moral courage, sense,
righteousness and uprightness; and
that he is Justly liable to the imputation
that his opinions are held subject to such
adjustments az may suit his interests as
a Presidential candidate.
The latter is doubtless true but the
fact is GRAFT hasn't got much to say. He
doesn't know much, and is not apt at
acquiring He is a mammoth humbug
as a great man, in every sense. lie Is
clever, no doubt, as the word is generally
used, but he has no vigor Of intellect nor
of will, nor has he, in any position that
his marvellously fortunate career has
placed him in, exhibited those lofty
moral qualities, which in responsible
situations, to a degree atone for their
lack, and inspire confidence in his capao
city to deal with weighty matters The
military success achieved under his Geno

A FINE GAME.

1t is stated by the Cincinnati Enquirer
that Senator Sherman, who, as Chairman
of the Senate Finance Committee, is the
author of the bill proposing a consolida-
ton of the public debt in a new form Of
bonds, is reputed to be partner in the
banking firm of Jay Cooke Il Co If this
be fact, it is suggestive of connection
between the financial legisture being
cooked up and that gigantic shaving shop
which has already enriched a coterie OF
men at the expense of the people. The
negotiation of two billion and more of
bonds would be a pretty heavy grist for
that mill

IN the Louisiana Convention on the 23d inst,
By Judge Cooley, repeating the ordinance
issuing $500, 900 in bonds 10 defray the con-
vention's expenses. Mr.. Jones, ofOrleans,
obtained a postponement until 3 PM,
promising that the first installment Of
$3.50 would then be deposited by the
capitalists according to agreement. An
afternoon session was consequently held at
halfpast three. Upon the convention re-
assembling, Judge Cooley presented GER
jifcate from the State Treasurer that no
funds had yet been deposited TO the con.
veniion's credit. This disclosed at once
the ruilenuess of the whole scheme, and
showed no better prospect of funds than a
fortnight since. Mr.. Paige, Of the Repnb-
EcGn, asked the privilege to address ex-
pIanatory remarks. A violent debate en-
sued lasting till long after dark. Numerous
needy delegates, disappointed in hopes OF
immediate payment were turbulent and
unruly. Many Conservatives retired IL
disgust; the President resigning his chair
TO a violent colered delegate. WieklitiS
Significantly said the convention had five
hundred millions at lis disposal. Berto-
mean, a French colored man Of education
boldly denounced the bond scheme as an
Infamous awindle Blackburn, the origi'

Among other remarks made by Thad.
Stevens to the deputation of loyal leaguers
that called upon him yesterday, was one in
reference to j. M. Langston, the colored
lawyer in the Supreme Court. Beware of
Langston," exclaimed the old man: 81 am

and endeavoring to persuade you that we

HIRAM POWERS AND GEN. JACE
SON.

=
SON.
A recent letter-writer from Rome, who
had visited the studio OF the great Ameri-
can sculptor, Powers, gives an interesting
account of the great work on which he is
now engaged, "The Last of the Tribes
a group Of Indians retiring before the ad-
vance Of civilization. He relates the fol-
lowing story of Old Hickory"
In the course of our visit Mr.. Powers
related an incident which We do not re-
member to have heard before, and which
is worth repeating because so Illustrative
of the character of President Jackson.
When Hiram Powers was just attaining
celebrity as a sculptor, he called upon the
President in reference TO executing bust
of him. "Old Hickory" scanned him very
closely, and then said to him, in the same
tone and with the same voice thatw was heard
above the din Of the battle of New Orleans,
Do you put any stuff on the head, sir?
They say that they almost smothered Mr..
Jefferson TO death, sir" Mr.. Powers as
sured the old hero that nothing of the kind
was to be spprehended, and he was then
permitted to execute the bust. Mr.. Long
worth Powers is located near his father,
and is engaged in the photograph bust
ness. He is succeeding admirably in a
pecuniary view, and his photographs enjoy
an excellent reputation in Florence. Those
of the masterpieces of Hiram Powers are
incomparably superior to any of the kind
that We have ever seen.
