JOHN A. J. CREsswELL, OF MARYLAND.


Contrary to the general impression Southern
man has, in the person OF Mr. Cressweli, been ap-
pointed member OF President Grants Cabinet We
say Southern man, because In sympathy, educa-
ton and characteristics the people OF Maryland are
~ much Southern as those Of Georgia.
Mr.. Crcsswelps Home and Early Life.
The new Postmaster General was born at Port
Deposit Cecil county, Md on the 18th OF November
1885, and is consequently man stil In the prime OF
life. His parents being possessed OF ample means,
he was sent when q lad, to Dickinson College.
in Pennsylvania, where he graduated with
houors during the year ls4s. Returning home he
studied law, and In 1850 was admitted to the
bar. Born and reared In State wherc the instttu.

was TO be consigned to political oblivion IL IL not
surprising but few men In Maryland could be found
daring enough to avow their opposition to slavery,
or to cherish sentiments antagonistic 10 the in.
stituton. whether Mr.. Cresswel was always an sbo.
itionst we cannot tell. He may have BEEN but IL IL
certain that he never took rank among the Garrsons
Summers, Wilson's and others OF the like. Indeed,
he appears to have remained at home quietly pur-
suing hts professional avocations which were quite
onorous by reason OF extensive practice and ap-
parently taking no active interest In politics. save a.
one Of many thousands OF voters We say this be-
cause We feel no certainty % TO what political opin
ions he held before the secession OF South
The New York herald., 1869-03-06

Carolina Newspaper correspondents diner In regard
to this some asserting that he was first whig and
subsequently Q republican, although by reason OF
his surroundings he dared not avow his political
preferences. Others state that he was democrat,
and only left the party when he discovered that in
Maryland, at least, 1t sympathized with the rebel
lion.
His Career N q Politician.
But whatever may have been Mr.. Creswell's poitt-
cal views it Is certain that he took an early stand In
favor OF the Union and against secession. His
as politician began in 1861, when he was elected >
member OF the Maryland House Of Delegates, and ~
such ably opposed every effort OF the majority TO take
the State out OF the Union. From August 1892 to
April 1S63 he served as an assistant adjutant gene
raj Of his State. This o1ice he resigned upon
being elected q Representative to the Thirty
eighth Congress, In which he served on the
Committee on Commerce and Pensions. Through
out the rebellion his voice and votes were given in
favor Of vigorous coercve policy, nor did he ever
falter in his faith that the Union arms would be
finally successful In 1884 he was delegate to the
Republican Convention held at Baltimore and
which nominated Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Johnson for
the ofces OF President and Vice President. In 1854
Mr. Cressweil was defeated for Congress by Mr..
Hiram McCull0ch. but during the following year was
chosen to I'LL the vacant seat IN the United States
Senate, caused by the death OF Ex-Governor T. H.
Hicks. When the term expired the republican party
was in hopeless minority in Maryland and all
chances for his continuation in ONCE by direct cleo
ton had ended. AT the Presidential election last
year every Congressional district in the State
carried by the democrats, his old district leading
with majority Of over S,00O Mr. Cressweu was
succeeded by democrat In the Senate.
Political Faith Of the Postmaster General.
In politics Mr.. Cresswel is radical Of the most ad
vanced stripe. He fayors the reconstruction OF Ma
ryland on the plan adopted for the exrebel States
During the contest with Mr.. Johnson he never de-
Waited from his support Of Congress-. although the
chances are that had he pursued the course followed
by Ex-Governor Swami and other republicans he
would have, like them been retained once by the
democrats. But remaining consistent to his polti-
cal faith he sacrificed his chances OF preferment ut
the hands OF his fellow citizens Mr. Cresswell Is an
able politician and viii doubtless make an accept

We give below, in regular order biographical
sketches Of all the Cabinet Ministers whose names

interesting histories Of the lives and services OF the
seven gentlemen who have been called together as
the Cabinet Ministers OF President Grant. AS Will
be seen by the Senate proceedings Of yesterday the
nominations OF these oficals were promptly con-
nrmed, SO that the administration may be said to
be fairly In working order. We should not omit
stating that General Schoeld merely retains his Of

been reapponted, but awaits the nomination and
confirmation OF a successor which Will doubtless be
made in due time.

The Friendship Between the President and
MIR. Wushburne.
Ofno slight Importance TO the country at large is
the warm friendship which exists between President
Grant and Mr.. Washburne. Both resided In Gaena
when the rebellion broke out, and, as was natural
enough with neghbors IN . small town, were on
intimate terms with each other and at the request OF
Grant, Washburne obtained position for him from
Governor Yates as colonel Of q volunteer regiment.
During the war, when, Is stated and generally be-
iieved, efforts were made to have Grant relieved
from command his friend stood by him through
thick and thin. and used all his influence In keep
ing him at the front. The result are all too well
aware Of to need the telling at this date. In sun
shine as In gloom Mr.. washburne remained the
steadfast friend OF his quondam protege, and was
the author OF the bill reviving the grade Of
new President This friendship has existed
through all the changes which the past eight
years have seen. At the time when 1t seemed as II
Grant supported Mr.. Johnson's policy, ana when
radical newspapers were sneering at his reticence,
Mr. Washburne repeatedly assured his acquaint-
ances that time would vindicate the General from
the doubts which were being cast upon him.
His Political Experience.
Mr.. Washburne brings to the position Of Secretary
OF State the experience gained in sixteen years OF
legislative duties Although comparatively young
man he has served continuously in the House OF
Representatives for longer period OF years than
any other member and has thereby gained the title
Of 'sFather OF the House." Although not man OF
brilliant genius ne is able, honest and candid. His
recent speeches in favor OF economy in the admins
tration OF the government and his opposition to fur
ther substituting railroad companies, show that he
ardently desires retrenchment and the outstanding
OF our resources SO that the load OF debt under
which the people groan may be removed before
many years have passed Exactly what his career as
Secretary Of State will be time alone can tell.

lose on It to the end frequently see persons TO
whom would not sell II could avoid it-n
His Formal Entrance Into Political Life.
Last year signazed Mr.. Stewards formal entrance
into political life. The meeting called to nominate
President Grant was held. 1t may be said, more
through his active exertons than through those OF
any other man. At later date, for the first time In
his career, he came before the people as
an applicant for their sufrages having been nomi-
mated on the republican ticket ~ candidate for the
ONCE OF Presidential Elector from this State. He
was, OF course with the entire ticket, defeated by
the democracy For some time past Mr.. Stewards
associations with the President have been OF quite
an intimate character but as he was not supposed to
possess ambition for political preferment 1t was
scarcely believed that he would hold place In the
Cabinet, although his name was frequently urged
for the once TO which he has been nominated.
Conclusion.
The career OF Mr.. Stewart Is altogether most re-
markable one. His rapid attainment OF wealth has
never been equaled In modern times Even the
great Rothschd sinks into comparative lnslgnid-
canoe aside OF him. Commencing with scarcely
more than his resolution to work. he prospered be-
men in the United States But few men in this
country ever rose from obscurity to opulence and
reputation with the rapdy that he has; and, sing
lar but true Of those few not single native be
found among them. 1t is almost unnecessary to
state that Mr. Stewards financial experience s great
and that not many men IN the world have the power
TO control such vast OF money he must have.
