Resoeeed, That tits to- the manifest
interestiofi both the government and
the people that the construction t,of
railroads should be encouraged by,th

miting railroad iron to be imported

In commenting on this resolution
the Pittsburgh Po.t says: This is
delicate subject to, come before a body
thus constituted, whose purpose gisito
deliberate, decide, recommend and ad-
wise in vital matters. The very enter
tanning of such a resolution throws a
suspicion upon the sincerity of these
substantial and honorable advocatesof
so-called protection of American Ia
Dor against the, ,papper labor Of Eu-
rope If pushed;fit makes at onceia
conflict betweeni capital invested in
manufactures Of railroad iron and
capital invested in railroads. The
owners of the latter, in asking this ex-
emption, make concessions against the
cardinal doctrines of their. school; $50
palpable and Overwhelming as to rem
der it more than doubtful whether
they, in their inmost SOULS themselves
believe in those doctrines !; for if6it
benefits a railroad to get cheap iron, it
surely benefits the farmer to get, cheap
implements of ghusbandry, and every
body to get cheap clothing and all the
necessaries of life at low rates. ."is .il5
The SEcRETARI OF THE Treasury.
The New Y Yolrk Wiorizd',s Washington
special says; g It is now well under
stood in well informed circles that
Hon. E. B. Washburne, of Illinois, is
to be Secretary Of the Treasury in
Gen. Grants Cabinet. This is the only
Cabinets appointment decided upon,
but upon this lyoa may rely 1.-The fact
that this decision was Arrived at'was
/ passed around among, the guests; at
] Marshall O.. Roberts the other even
ing in New Z ork, and telegraphed to
Washington to-day in the most au-
EthoritatiEe. manner. Grant has no
hesitation in, saying toIany one who
speaks to him about it, that Wash
burne is a thoroughly hoaestlman."

1 induced to support Grant: sOne day
at Gen, Grant 5, house in Washing gton,
while he was Secretary of. War,r / told
him Thought he wouldmake a good.
Democratic candidate for President, if
he was right on the question of negro
suffrage. II He replied that he had no

feelings and sentiments were entirely
opposed to negro suffrage" It is
j worthy of note that PierfGpousti and
Stewart, two Democrats, are the only
men Grant Gralltt.,h has, called upon in in New.
