The Secretary ofthe Treasury.

The Chicago Republican, the leading
Radical organ of the Northwest, finds
many objections to the appointment of
A. T. Stewart as Secretary ofthe Treas
ury, and closes thus:
Besides, there are other grave objec-
tions to Mr. Stewart Although very
successful merchant, he offords no relia-
BILE indication that he possesses unusual
capacity for the place of Secretary OF
the Treasury. A man may make mil
lions of dollars, yet be contracted in bis
views and small in brain. Moneygettin2
ability is the lowest order of intellect
ual endowment. To be a successful fin
ance minister requires the largest power
Of synthesis and analysis, to give breadth
and depth to thought, and to afford com
prehensive grasp Of the gigantic ques
tons which constantly arise for solution
There is nothing in his history to show
that he possesses these indispensable
qualifications. He takes his place il
what is now the most important ant
most difficult of all the Cabinet posit
ions, an untried man as regards the qAal
tiles he is expected to exhibit-a mer
venture, at a time when single misstel
may plunge the country into immeasul
able financial complications and dis
trssses

Smokers.

Robert Hall is said to have preached
his most eloquent sermons after smok-
ing a pipe in his vestry; the same with
DR., Pair whv sometimes smoked twenty
pipes in one evening, and "never wrote
well except under the inspiration of to-
bacco." According to Bishop Kennel
Thomas Hobbs. the philosopher of Nal
mesbury, retired to his study every day
after dinner, and had his candle and ten
or twelve pipes Of tobacco laid by him
Then, shutting his door, he fell to smok
ing thinking and writing for several
hours; and although such an. excessive
smoker,lived to the good old age of nine
ty and two. All know how the great
Sir Isaac Newton smoked, and how, or
one occasion, in moment of profound
abstraction, he placed the little finger o.
his "lady love- into the hot bowl oi
his pipe in place of . tobacco stopper
Thomas Carlyle smokes, as do Lor(
Lytton, Tennyson, Louis Napoleon, ant
many other eminent men. Campbell, BY
ron, Moore, and Lord Eldon were mod
crate smokers, and frequently bore testi
mony to the comfort of tobacco. Si
Walter Scott was great smoker; 81
was Lord Palmerston-and the use O
the weed did not shorten his days. W.

Lamb, "the gentle Ella" who toiled al

Of the United States, I realize fully the

the position. Presiding over a body
whose members are i'll so large degree

sistance of your support, and your gen
erous 1orhcarance and confidence. But
pledeing to you all Il faithful and inAex.
ibIe impartiaIity in the administration OF
yolr rules, and earnestly desiring to CO.
operate with you in making the delibe
ra.ions of the Senate worthy not only OF
its historic renown, but also of the States
whose commissions you hold, I am now
ready to take the oath of Office required

Called by the people," How abou

people of the States of Virginia, Mis-
sissippi and Texas have any voice IL
calling him? No! They were not per
mitted to hold elections for Presiden
and Vice President.
The election was farce, controlled
by the Radicals, for the benefit of th
Radical party.

MIR. CresWelI.

Mr. John A. j. CresweE, the new Post
Master General, has an interesting politi-
cal record behind him. In the spring
of 1861, he raised rebel military
company, at Elkton, Maryland for the
openly avowed object of intercepting the
passage of Federal troops through Ma
ryland. This fact has so often been pro-
we'd that it is no longer denied. l have
seen him confronted in the Senate with
Secession resolutions Of which he ac-
knowledge himselfto have been the au-
thor. They were passed at a meeting in
Eastern Maryland, over which he pre-
sided. Assoon as he found the Federal
military in full possession of Maryland,
he changed his principles and became q
Radical candidate for Congress, secur.
ing his election through Federal bayonets
sent to his aid by that remarkable mill
tary hero known as General Schenck
He is man of good ability-unprinci
pied and unscrupulous-always ready te
join the winning side. He was a Breck
.inridge Democrat in 1860, and up te
that time the most violent Of proslavery
ranters. He is now for enfranchising
the negroes he used to consider barbar
inns, and for DISTINGUISHING the youns
men whom he advised to join the rebe

was attempted to be declared temporary
Chairman, which the Wells men resisted,
and general fight ensucd around the
Chairman's stand. a strong police force
interfered and separated the combatants.
Mr.. Burgess, the Mayor Of the city, ap-
peared and made q speech in behalf of
peace, and the rival candidates for the

eating peace. Another fight ensued, and
the Mayor ordered the police to clear the

are now scattered about the streets, and
it is not known when they will meet
again.

The u. s. senate--sA Military Man.
A dispatch from Washington say.

A dispatch from Washington says
"No little amount of merriment was
created at the expense of the Senate on
account of their having confirmed a man
for place to which he is Ineligible
"It's nice thing" said Western mem.
Der, "that a body of lawyers putting
forth the pretensions of majority OF
the Senators should be ignorant of the
provisions of the law establishing one of
the great departments of the govern
ment," No member seemed to find fault
with President Grant for having nomi-
mated Stewart, because as they said, at
was not expected that a military man
who had never read law should be pest
ed" But it was generally remarked
that the Presidents mistake consisted in
sending a.mcssage to the Senate asking
Congress to repeal the law for the bene-
fit and convenience of Mr.. Stewart"
Why did the Radicals electa military
man who had never read law?" There
is some excuse for the ignorance of the
carpet-baggers in the Senate, but none
for the Presidents. His blunders fur
msh laughing material for the whole
country.

Protection for New England.

In arranging the standing Committees
of the u. s.. Senate the six States OF
New England with their twelve Senators
were carefully provided for. Thirty-one
other States with sixty-two Senators
were turned off with the Chairmanships
of Libraries and engrossed bills. OF
the twelve New England Senators, eight
Of them are Chairmen of Committees:

Maine.
Public Buildings--MoRRILL, Of Yer,

Auditing Committee Of Contingent ex
penses-CRAG1N, Of New Hampshire.
Printing-ANTHoNY, of Rhode Island
The whole population of the six States
is about equal to that of the State OF
Pennsylvania, yet the latter has but two
Senators and with the West is controlled
by New England 1t has been so evel
since the Republican party came into
power, and will be so long as it is retain
ed in it. New England is the head and
the West the tail of their organization.

The Pollard-Grant Affair.

Our dispatches from Richmond on
Saturday announced the acquittal of James
Grant for the murder of 81. Rives Pol
lard. The Dispatch of Monday gives
the following particulars of the scene in
the courtroom upon The return Of the
jury to announce their verdict:
The suspense grew almost tedious as
the jurors slowly took their seats, and
their names seemed doubled in length as
the clerk called them over. Every voice
was hushed, every ear was priclled ready
to hear the result, and every eye turned
eagerly toward the foreman. The pris,
oner's demeanor remained unchanged
save for a slight tinge of anxiety which
seemed to overspread his countenance,
which grew shade paler, made in ap,
pearance more so by contrast with the
dark shadows underneath the eyes
The jury being called, the clerk asked
What say you, gentlemen Of the jury
guilty or not guilty?'' To which the
foreman, Mr.. C. c. Berry, of Alexand
ria, replied ''Not guilty"
Upon this there was manifestation ol
applause among the spectators by way
of the clapping of hands and stamping Of
feet. No cheer was heard. This was
of but moments duration, however
for the deputy, who seemed ready for it
promptly checked any such demonstra
ton. The jury was then discharged, and
the sergeant made proclamation that any
one who had anything further to enter
against James Grant to show why he
should not be discharged, should come
forward and make the same known.
No one making any reply, jaime;
Grant was declared acquitted of tht
murder, and the court was adjourned
The rush of friends towards Mr. Gran
to extend their congratulations was SC
great that it was many moments before
he could leave the court room. He sub
sequently did so, and quietly repaired te
his residence.
