every parliamentary stratagem to stave off
the vote on the resolution.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-3 ASP. M.-There
is no truth in the report that the President
has appointed General Gordon Granger
as Secretary Of War, and ordered him to
take possessionof the War Office and turn
Stanton out. Mr.. johnson is determined
to stand by General Thomas, come what
may.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-4 P. Mr..
Brooks has closed, and was followed by
Judge Spalding, who strongly urged the
adoption of the resolution He was follow
ed by Judge Bingham, of Ohio, on the same
side. The Democrats seem to be wavering,
and without any concert Of action.

A Word of Caution,

AS public journalists, we feel impelled, by the
responsibilities of our position and the deep in
tercst we feel in the public welfare, to speak out
promptly and fearlessly on a matter ofextreme
interest to every tax payer in the State. 1t is
pal pable, that people are becoming intensely
concerned at the many rumors afOat, that in all
matters involving large appropriations of money
by the General Assembly, Ltack-naaH or monied
considerations or positions are being pledged or
paid to parties who manipulate matters, to work
them through the Legislature.
1t is alleged and reiterated with confidence,
we are told, that one man, at least, whose name
we have not heard mentioned, received $4,000
for his agency in manipulating certain appro-
priations through the Legislature, at its last ses-
sion If these rumors have any foundation in
truth, we call upon the General Assembly, III the
name of the people of the State, to wipe cut this
foul stain from its escutcheon, promptly. So
long as we have any connection with the public
press. no personal or partizan peeuniary in
fuences can induce us to give any countenance
whatever to peculation or corruption, in public or
private matters 1t is the duty of the press to
conserve public sentiment, to discountenanee
and discourage every species of vice and demon
alzation, and to deal honestly with the people,
and with men, whether natives or new corners,
who for personal profit, will defraud, or by cor
rupt practice rob, the State exehequer and in
crease the burdens of the people. Let the Gen
eral Assembly purge itself and assume tone
and an action, in all matters, above suspicion.
Otherwise, it may look for such exposures as will
make the guilty trenble, and make men of char
acter wipe their hands of all connection with a
BODY which panders to the schemes of plumber
ers and peculators of the public funds-RGleigh
