The communication addressed by the Re-
publican members of the Pennsylvania State
government to Senator Cameron, urging him
to use his influence to have Stanton trans
ferred to the Treasury Department when
Wade becomes President, will probably strike
most people as being hardly in good taste.
At the same time, it viii be almost uniyer-
sally conceded that the suggestion in itself is
good one. Stanton is peculiarly fitted for
hard places. When he took Blacks place as
Buchanan's Attorney General in December,
1860, he did not hesitate to exercise his flrnc-
tions as constitutional adviser of the Presi-
dent, boldly and persistently on the side OF
the preservation of the Union. He and Jc-
seph Holt were, during that critical month,
the only true patriots in the councils of the
administration, and how much the country
owes to them will not be known, perhaps, fer
many years. During the. rebellion the posi-
tion OF War Minister was more important
and required more perfect union of cour-
age, patriotism and great administrative abil
ity than any other in the Presidents gift.
Who would have answered all the require
ments of that position as Stanton did? 1t
may be that the iron hand was not concealed
and made less heavy by the velvet glove that
others might have worn, but in view of the
immense responsibilities resting upon him
and the final success that attended his efforts,
there can be no just criticism of mere mat
ters of detail.
The war being over it is now the Treasury
that especially needs a great mind for the di-
rection of its affairs. So much corruption
and inefficiency pervade the whole establish
ment, at the Washington centre and thI ough
all is ramffications, that none but man oi
the greatest courage, one not to be intimidat-
ed by swindlels, brlbed by politicians or over
awed by popular clamor is fit to be entrusted
with the great work of effecting a reform.
Such man is Edwin NJ. Stanton. There is
some doubt whether Mr.. Stanton will accept
the situation and, indeed, he peremptorily de-
clined in note to Mr.. Cameron which ap-
peared in our telegraphic columns yesterday
There can be no doubt of his sincerity in
wishing TO escape from public life which for
eight years has made constant and heavy de-
mands upon his physical and mental energies.
But as he now holds possession of the WaI
Department solely on account of the require
ments Of patriotism, it may be that, if necessa
ry, he would make still further personal sac
| rifces ON the same account.
