SECRETARY STANTON.

The telegraphic dispatches give some
explanation of the mysterious retention
of Mr.. Stanton IN the Cabinet 1t APP
pears that the official relations subsisting
between the President and that officer for
many months, have been such as to justi-
fy the expectation from day to day, that
the latter would voluntarily retire ia
Difference to the self Prospect which should
be exhibited by one in his position, even
though he was incapable of feeling it.
But with an indecency which has no
parallel in any age or time, Mr. Stanton
has doggedIy declined to obey the prompt
ings of gentlemanly instinct and the re-
quirements of official etiquette and now,
when the Executive patienceis exhausted,
and he is served with direct invitation
TO surrender the portfolio of the War
Department he positively refuses to re-
tire except upOa fat dismissal We sim

far or very fast. My own impression
is that in tie political changes which are
inevitable in our time in all countries, and
which certainly are as inevitable in this as
in any other country, it is an advantage to
the country that these great changes should
be made rather by steps than all at once

THE FREEDMEN's BUREAU As A
POLITICAL MACHINE.

The people of this country once rose
in their might and demolished an instr
tuition which was charged, whether justly
or not with being an electioneering ma
chine. The United States Bank was
powerful corporation in itself, and had a
powerful party to support it, and had
withstood many attacks. When, in its
struggle to maintain its existence against
the combination Of which Andrew Jack
son was the inspiring soul and head, it
commenced to subsidize politicians with
the contents of its vaults, it gave itself
the coup de grace Directly it was appao
rent to the people that the bank was the
instrument Of party, it fell Have the
people changed2 What were all the ac-
commodations of the banks 10 party

Buffers Report as Commissioner of
Exchange


New YORK, August THE Tribune
publishes Buffers report as Commissioner
of Exchange during portion of the re-
bellion, from which il appears that in De-
cember, 1868, he found the Confederate
Generals anxious to exchange man for
man, but the Confederate government re-
fused to treat with Gen. Butler on the
ground that he commanded negro troops.
Notification to that effect was sent to our
government, which refused to admit of
the right Of the Confederate authorities to
Ould and our officers.
Exchanges continued tiIl March, 1864,
when Butler had an interview with Ould
which convinced him the relations would
compel the Rebels to abandon their refusal
TO exchange colored soldiers The gov
eminent was informed of these facts, and
referred the matter to Gen. Grant, who In
April directed Butler to decline until other
wise orderd, all further negotiations, and
shortly after he instructed him to consider
the determination of the Rebels to make q
distinction between the white and colored
prisoners, as refusal on their part to agree
to farther exchange.
Gen. Butler was also instructed TO receive
all sick and wounded Rebels who would
give up, but to send no more in exchange.
In August the Rebels offered to renew the
exchange man for man. Gen. Grant then
telegraphed the following important order
1t Is hard on our men held in Southern
prisons not to exchange them, but it is hu-
manity to those left in the ranks to fight
our battles. Every one on perole or other
wise, became an active soldier at once,
directly or indirectly. five commence a
system of exchange, which liberates all the
prisoners, we will have to fight on until
the South is exterminated. If we hold
these caught they are no more than dead
men at this particular time, and to release
all Rebel prisoners North would insure
sherman's defeat and ould compromise
our safety here.

PRO9CRIPTION.

Chaplain-Judge Lawrence has been
appointed special agent to take charge
of the colOred laborers thrown out of
employment in Middle Tennessee" and
he earnestly petitions all good and hon.
omble men in Nashville and Middle Teno
nessee, 30 use their utmost endeavors to
prevail upon employers not to discharge
their servants for political reasons, to re-
call such as have been discharged, and
TO aid those who cannot return to find
new places "and the Chaplain>Judge
hopes that the old and substantial citi-
zens Of the State viii so deport them>
selves as 10 make the necessity of any
action on the part of Gen. Carlin or him
self, in relation to this matter, altogether
unnecessary" We do not care to in
quire what is meant by this covert threat
IL is sufficient that it stands there as
menace TO the people OF Tennessee from
man who derives his authority from "a
tribunal which Brownlow and Fletcher
denounced as foreign to our constitu~
ton and domestic laws" While this APP
peal, coupled with covert threat, comes
up to the people of Tennessee from the
special agent of this tribunal the
Press and Times, ranking with the ma~
lightly which has characterized that
sheet for more than two years, favors the
mastering of the alleged prescribed ne
groes into the State Guards that they
may thus be enabled to wreak revenge
upon their fancied prosecutors and then,
says this organ of the triumphant fac
ton, let the expense of feeding and
providing for these troops be levied upon
the persons who have turned off thou~
sands OF men to starve We do not pro-
pose to comment upon these plans
for bringing about "an accom-
notation between the parties in
terested. Our object is simply to
show the people of the State the spirit
that animates the victors in matter that
concerns them personally, and: to cali ats
tentiOn to some facts that should be taken
into consideration just here,
In the first place Brownlow and
Fletcher warned the party that triumphed
IN the election the other day, that If they
persisted in the course they have pursued
they would bring about Just the state Of
affairs they now affect to deplore Here
is the warning conveyed to the Legisla-
ture in the message of October 3, 1865
In connection with This subject Of emi-
grafton, beg leave TO say that II is far
more safe and rational process of regener-
ating the South than any sudden and COM
pulsory admission Of the blacks To the
baisoi-box. IL involves no eoutroyerted
question Of State rights. Ii occasions No
necessity for arbitrary military rule. II does
not exasperate our naiive-born ritizens and
make them lifelong enemies of fbe goy-
eminent. II carried out a. indicates !.

view: while, on the other hand, the indie

the oolored population would increase the
evils that keep the South depressed, and

stances. would become devoted friends Of
