RAwLINS.

The new Secretary of War used to
live in Galena. He was with Gene
raj Grant throughout the war, and
has been ever since, as his chief of
staff. He is distinguished for but one
act in civil life-that of delivering to
the Senate the message in which Gen.
Grants first cabinet was announced
to that body.

scaly one at that, or he would not
now be found as the right bower of q
Radical President. He has been o
good many things since he was born,
sixty years ago. First, he was o
member of the New York Legisla-
ture; then a member of Congress
from lS43 to 1S45; next Governor of
New York from 1848 to 1880; then O
Senator in Congress from 1851 to 1857,
and, finally, a gentleman of elegant
leisure, travelling in Europe. The
Cincinnati Commercial says Grant
made Fish his Secretary of State be-
cause he liked him SO well personally.
Grant stopped with Fish when he
was in New York last.
BOUTWELL,.
Boutwell, is one of the bitterest ol
Massachusetts, Radicals. He was one
of Mr.. Johnson's most yindictive en-
emies, and was a manager in the i'm
peachment trial. He has been O
member of the Legislature, Governor
of Massachusetts,, Commissioner o.
Internal Revenue and a member o.
Congress. Like his lamented prede'
cessor, in the Treasury Department
he knows something about dry goods
as be "run a store" for twenty years
before it struck him that he was cuI
