THE WAR OFFI,E.

Mr.. Stanton has resumed the duties
Of Secretary Of War. The history Of
the case Is well known to our readers.
King Andy was desirous that his will
and not that of Congress should bc
obeyed. With this intention, Grants
position ms Secretary OF War, ad inter.
i'm, was to have been filed By an ap-
pointec nominatedby the President, and
whom be knew would yield odisplace.
ment but bv force Of arms. The
Tenure of Office Bill, which prevents
removals and appointments by the
President without the concurrence OF
the Senate was thus to be circumvent-
ed and nullifcd, if not by stubborn
will BY an Issue at arms. Congress
"mated" the President in his game.
His reasons for suspending Stanton
we're not considered substantial and he
was sent back to hia post. Grant, ac-
customed TO obedience TO the law-mak-
ing powers and at all times acting for
the good of the country, gave up the
keys of the department and returned
to his duties a General of the Army.
Finding himself defeated in the base
purpose of compelling Congress to
assert its dignity by force of arms and
thereby give prcteSt for innaugurat-
ing civil war, he turns his batteries
upon Grant and accuses him ofa breach
of faith. What better assurance is
wanted by the people Of the tacit
sympathy, for.ight and wisdom, of
the man whom We have chosen for
our standard bearer The malignity
of the President has not vet developed
itself but from the howl of rage that
goes up from his admirers the swoop
will doubtless soon be made. OF
course, it will be made, not upon the
enemies of the Government but upon
those who have ever stood by its inter
ests. This action of Congress may of-
feet the purpose Of inducing the Presi-
dent to fix a moose that will break his
neck. In his blind folly should be
attempted to execute his own will in
defiance of the law, then may the sword
of impeachment be used with deadly
effect, nor would we be satisfied until
the official head was severed from the
trunk. 1t is not strange coincidence
thnt he should be abettcd bv Dcmoc-
racy and that they should weep with
him in this his further bareayment.
Like job Trottcr, they are great on
the water works, especially wien thoy
open the way for riding the peoples
pockets through Presidential patron
age, with the weight ofhis influence in
the election scale thrown into the
Democratic side of the balance. STAN
ton, however, holds the War Office, TO
the unspcakablc joy of loyal hearts
and the hearty disgust of Copper
heads and rebels! No doubt, he is
thankful for the much needed rest az
tordcd him by suspension, ,ior which
Congress should tender the President
a vote of thanks (?) } and will enter
upon the duties of his office with re-
newed vigor,

THAT Btt.g..

The new Reconstruction hill, a SYM
opsis of which we printed last week,
was to be voted upon Monday, 10th
inst, The design of the bill is to put
he five Southern military districts
under the command of General Grant.
The diversity OF opinion that has
marked the action Of different District
Commanders at once comprehends the
necessity and wisdom Of the change.
The howl of dictator" has already
been raised against him but we are
puzzled to know how it applies to him
now more than it did year, or three
years ago. He is the man, fitted by
past services, to control the rebcllious
element. IF the bill passes, and we
hope it will, the South, and, indeed,
the whole country, will be benefited by
the change.

Mr.. PLAYFoRD, the Democratic
representative in the House, from
Fayettc Co., the other day relieved
himself ola surcharse Of venom upon
the Secretary of War. In the course
of his remarks he alluded to the ser
vices of gallant General Lee" Upon
being roughly handled by several Re-
publican members, he, with the char
acteristic meanness of the party,
attempted to erplain himself, but only
became more deeply imbedded in the
slough. Mr.. Playford is worthy
scion of Fayette Democracy and acts

THE Free Railroad Bill, we publish
elsewhere, bears a favorable reading
and is just the measure We should like
to see made a law. We have not had
time to examine it closely but the face
of it is fairenough. With Committees
in both Houses, Speakers, and ma
ioritv of votes for it, we look for its
speedy passage. The Eight will be in
the Senate where it is feared it may be
so altered and amended "a to prove a
dead letter. We hope for the best,
and vote eternal condemnation upon
the men who defeat it, if defeated it is,

You have been censured by this
House for having violated this tunda-
mental rule ofall deliherative bodies.
This duty being performed, you will
resume your seat" .
Mr.. Wood retired to his seat and
asked permission to continue his re-
marks. This was received with a
loud laugh on the Republican side,
and was ruled ont of order in view OF
the action of the House.
The debate was then continued
among other members. Mr.. Farms
worth, of Illinois, in the course of his
remarks, alluded to the Democrats as
the rebel brethren of General Han
cock, for which he was called to order,
and the Speaker decided his remarks
out of order.
Mr.. Mungen, ofOhio, offered res
olution of censure, and it was voted
down rird rocc.
During the debate to-day, crowds
filled the galleries and popular feeling
ran high.
WASHINGTON, January lG, 1867
Matters are assuming a quiet aspect
in regard to Secretary Stanton, and no
new Developments have been made
public.
Statements were telegraphed from
here last night that Generals Grant
and Sherman urged upon Stanton to
tender his re4iguiti6n; that this advice
would he needed, and his resignation
handed in to day. a prominent Rad
ical Senator was with Stanton for over
an hour this morning, and he states
that Stanton expressed firm deter
mination not to be forced from his po-
sition by the President, but would re-
main and discharge the duties Of his
Office, for he was master of the situa-
ton, and did not think that the Pres
idcnt would dare to use force to eject
him.
General Grant was on the floor Of
House to-day for some time and b was
the centre of attraction among the
members.
The report that Gen. Grant is to be
court mnrtialed for surrendcring the
office to Mr.. Stanton, is Simply redicu-
lous. BY whom shall he be tried and
for what? Is the Secretaryship Of
the War Office a civil or military of
flee?
General Grant, by bis graceful
surrender Of the keys aud papers i'm
mediatcly IN the action of the Senate
in the matter, has done more to define
his position than if he had made n
five hours speech. All the odium
that attaches to his acceptance Of the
Secretaryship nd interim has now been
removed and he now stands, as a
member of the House expressed it this
morning, twenty-five per cent, higher
in the estimation of Republicans than
he did two days ago. There can be no
doubt that his desire il to carry out
the will of the law-making power.
Mr.. Stanton remained at his Office
all day and transacted a good deal Of
official busines, even sending the conf
munications to Congress in answer to
resolutions passed from time to time,
calling ior information.
There ia not Il word of truth in any
story that either Of the executive De-
partments have declined to transact
business with Mr.. Stanton. On the
contrary, the Treasury and Navy De-
portmcnts iuterchanged business with
the War Departments to day.

WAsuINGTON, u. c., Jan. II, 1868.
The Senate was not in session to-day.
The House this afternoon agreed to
the recommendation Of the WAYS and
Means Committee recommending non
concurrence in the Senate amendment
to the differentiation bill. The DIFF
ference between the two Houses is that
the Senate merely repeals the act Of
1866, authorizing the contraction Of
the currency by the Secretary Of the
Treasury, while the House bill simply
prohibits the Secretary from exercising
any power of contraction under thatact
or any other. The Senate Will proba-
bly, concur with the House.
BY unanimous consent the order of
the House that the vote on rcconstruc-
ton be taken to-day was rescindcd,
and the vote on the bill was postponed
until Monday, and it was further
resolved that there should be a session
Tomorrow for debate only.
The rest of the day was spent in
debate. The attendance of the specta-
tors and the interest in the proceedings
of to-day were very great. Mr..
Boutwell,, in the course of his re-
marks said that he regretted the
failure of the impeachment question
last month. Heconsdered it probable
that President johnson would be nom
mated by the Democratic party for re-
election.

The Dickens Hoax.

We are glad to learn that the statement
80 recently going the rounds of the press, in
regard to Mr.. DICKENS neglect of his broth
er's widow, turns out to be cruel slander.
II was stated that this lady was living in q
condition of abject poverty in Chicago, and
that Mr.. MURDOCH, whose generous heart
had been touched by her sufferings, inten-
ded to deliver course Of lectures for her
relief. The facts are tat she is not in
want-that Mr.. MURDOCH did not offer to
lecture in her behalf, and that Mr.. DICKENS
80 soon as he was informed that she was in
need promptly sent her $4,000. The story
reminds us of the famous definition Of the
crab, which the French Academy is said to
have subjected to the criticism Of CuvrER.
They defined crab to be "a small red ami
NAL which walks backward" "It is very
good" said CUvIER, ''but needs slight
modification. In the first place, the crab is
not an animal, but belongs to the insecta.
In the second place, it is not small, but one
of the largest of it's class. In the third
place, it is not red. And finally, it does
not walk backwards. With these few ex-
ceptions, gentlemen, your definition is e1-
cellent!"
These crab definitions are very popular
in Chicago-the headquarters of Western
Radicalism.

The captain of the port Immediately proceeded
aboard tho ship and demanded to examine the
packages and ascertain the truth. captain
West refused to allow this proceeding, stating
he had signed bills of lading, that he was
therefore responsible for the safe-keeplng OF
the packages, and that he would not allo"
them to be interfered with. The captain OF the
port, after using every means to accomplish
his purpose, finally informed Captain West
that he would return to the shore and consult
higher authorities, and that to prevent the
surreptitious sailing Of the ship he should take
the pilot with him. Captain West Immediately
ordered his engineer to put on full steam, and
at once, and without further ceremony, started
to sea, with the Custom House officers, boats
crew, and all hands on board. Captain West
kept the Mexicans ir custody till about three
miles out, when he SLOWED them to depart ard
make their way back as best they could. A
heavy sea was running, and the boat they
occupied was in imminent danger Of being
swamped Some trouble is anticipate on the
return Of the steamer to Vera Cruz"

k.-K.-K.

The Tennessee Conservatives have deter
mined to fight the devil with fire. The long
series of wrongs and outrages which they
have suffered at the hands of secret Radl-
cal leagues have taught them lesson; and
the Ku-Klux-Klan, is the fantastic title OF
mystic organization, which has arisen' as
it we're, in single night, and overspread
the whole State, melting out swift, sure and
terrible punishment to the more desperate
outlaws and terrifying their ignorant and
deluded followers into flight or good beha-
viour. The Klan processes to be nike
company of the living and the dead, banded
together in q common cause; its errands OF
vengeance are always performed in the
dead of night and with such weird accesso-
ries as invest them in the eyes of the super
stitious with peculiar horror; and the style
of its DEGREES, which are posted by some
mysterious agency in public places may be
Judged from the following:

Literary.

MOZART, Novel, from the German of Herbert
Rau. New York: Leypoldt Holt. Charles
ton: John Russell.
This book is another of those charming
translations from foreign languages, for
which Messrs. LEYPoLDT s. HOLT deserve
the gratitude Of every lover of cosmopolitan
literature. Under the somewhat unusual
form of biographical romance, an attempt
is here made to embody in an attractive
shape the chief incidents Of the life of one
of the most remarkable men of an era
sheunding in celebrities, the eighteenth
century, and, in the words Of the author,
in the preface, "to bring closer to the heart
of the German people one of Germany's
noblest sons, and so to newly awaken q
love, veneration and enthusiasm for MOZART
and his creations" The idea was happy
one, and it has been most felicitously exc
cuted. Read even as an historical romance,
the book cannot fail to please and crafty,
and as popular and appreciative record
of the struggles and triumphs of the great
maestro, it will take rank only second to
those charming Letters" Of his own, which
have already brought him, in his mingled
strength and weakness, so near to the popu-
lar heart.
To sketch the career of ''the marvellous
boy" as unfolded in these pages, would
take US far beyond our limits; that career
foreshadowed in boyhood by such passion
ate graspings after the meledy which
charmed his life-building up for its hero
fame of which oIdomeneus" "Don Gio-
vanni"-the "ZauberHote" were but Incl
eliminating in that majestic Re-
QUEEN whose strange and melancholy
history adds even to its own surprising
charm. To tell of all this as such things
should be told would take volume, as in
deed it has taken the volume which we
have here. Wherever we look in the story
of that wonderful life we feel ourselves face
to face with that most enthralling of all
mysteries the mystery Of Genius. We
cannot trust ourselves to quote where all is
so attractive. Our readers must Judge for
themselves of merits at which we have
merely hinted.
