himself that we do not think that he is capable OF
boarding the President and challenging him TO the
consequences. What the basis of the American de-
mand will be may be inferred from the following
passage in the Washington dispatches Of the New
York Times, one OF the most moderate organs of the
Presidents administration, and which, edItorially,
takes similar position being for once in accord on
the question ut issue with the New York Herald and
other journals of that ire-eating and sensational
stamp:-"Mr Motley's instructions as Minister to
England" says the Washington despatch to the
Times, twill be delivered TO him in few days.
What these instructions will be may be readily sur
missed from the repeatedly expressed opinions OF the
President on the subject, and from the speech of
Mr. Sumner in the Senate yesterday which Is con-
sidered by all parties here to be fair expression of
the feeling Of the country in reference TO the course
OF England during the late war;"
G;rnnt md Summers Speech.
Washington teieRrams to the Boston journal give
the follOwing:-
president Grant said on Monday to personal
friend that he had read the able speech OF Mr..
Sumner on the depredations committed by Anglo
Rebel armed ships three times, and that he now saw
the question in its true light Instead OF regarding
1t az "a mere bill of damages for the depredations
committed by the Alabama and other piratical YES
ses, of the Presidents Cabinet are understood
to regard Mr.. Summers speech as declaration that
there be further negotiations until Great
Britain admits that she acted badly; and conse-
quently they express the wish that the speech had
not been made, rather that IL had not been pub
lshed. Whether this be true or not, it Is evident
that Mr.. Summers original and forcble statements
of what constitute ocean beigerency are indorsed
almost unanimously by the American people,

The Leghorn Consulate.

Special Despatch to The Eoenflg Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-Your readers will
perhaps not be surprised to learn that pro-
minent member of your Union League, who was
confirmed but few days ago Consul to Leg
horn, has sent in his resignation, and that it
has been promptly accepted. Jay T. Howard,
of your State, has been appointed in his place.
The reasons for this sudden change are well
understood here now, and Senator Cameron,
when any one asks him who "Kleptomaniac"
is, merely winks his left eye, while Senator Scott
smiles knowingly and says nothing. The dis
Greet silence of these Senators will doubtless be
appreciated by the members of the Union
League.

From Paraguay we hear that Lopez was at the

States envoy and various foreign consuls were resd

An Indian Agent Heard From,

NEw YORK, April 21.-The United States In
dian Commissioners were to-day informed Iof
the arrival of their agent at Medical creek,
Washita mountains, with garden seeds, hoes,
ETC., his hearty welcome by the military and
Indians, his putting the plough in motion, and
the selection of the site for the mission schools
One hundred and fifty lodges of Cheyenne and
Arrapahoe Indians were expected to arrive
daily. The Indians take great interest in what
is being done for them, but funds are wanted,
as the Indian Appropriation bill failed.
Myriads of grasshoppers have appeared on the
plains.
A later despatch states that Messrs. "Roman
Nose" 'Little plymouth" "Yellow Bear" and
'Old Storm, with 600 Arrapahoes, have come
in ready to go to their reservation. They are
willing to be taught and follow the ways of the
white man.

MOfleY.

The London Reios has the following comments
upon the appointment OF Mr.. Motley as Minister to
England ;-"Mr. Motley's genius, united with his
genial manners has made him, from time to time,
during the past twenty years, a welcome guest in
many English homes, and his personal friendship is
enjoyed by many eminent Englishmen. Whatever
may be the course of future negotiations between
England and the United States we may venture TO
hope that these friendly personal relations, long
established will exert beneficent influence in pre-
serving and promoting the friendship between the
two nations whose value, it may be supposed, is
likely to be underrated by one who has profoundly
studied the historical and radical relationship be-
tween English and American liberty, aud can appre-
ciae their substantial unity under all superficial or
momentary differences"

NEWPORT, r. l., April 2l.-The steamer Bris-

on the California steamers which leaves New

Providence which is supposed to have left New
York yesterday afternoon, has not arrived. The
fog is very heavy, and there is tremendous sea
around Point Judith. Captain BraytOn prudently
declined rsking the lives OF his passengers.

the stnctest integrity, ofhigh stand
ling, of wealth and culture. He has
| been for some time the Vice Presi-
dent of the famous Union League
of Philadelphia. While not an ac-
tive politician, he has always taken
a lively interest in questions Of the
day. He is a pronounced Republi-
can, and has given large sums to
| further the interests Of that party
in Pennsylvania. Politicians from
his State are far from pleased, tho
each of tile divisions of the Repub-
lican party there is glad the other
has not furnished a Cabinet Minis
ter. Leading men from the State,
who are not politicians, say the ap-
pointment is one of the best that
could have been made from the
State.
WAsHBURNE' E's APPOINTMENT coMPLI-
MENTARY.
Mr.. Washburne's appointment is
considered virtually complimentary,
as his physicians are decided IN the
opinion that he cannot undertake
tho duties. 1t is also understood
that be has partially made his ar
rangements to go abroad.
A. t. STEWART.
Politicians generally do not like
the appointment of Stewart. Those
who support Grant in it, say that
this choice, with the appointment
Of Delano as Commissioner of In
ternai Revenue, means the defeat of
the Whisky Ring and Wall street
spectators.
GOVERNOR COX.
The selection of Governor Cox,
of Ohio, for the Interior, gives
very general satisfaction; in fact,
this is unanimous, except with those
who opposed his course at the time
Mr.. johnson broke with Congress
but all concede him ability, and an
honesty which eminently fit him to
do the work expected of him in
down the land spectators
and the Indian thieves.
Ex- SENATOR CREsswELL.
The choice of Ex-senator Cress-
well, of Maryland, for Postmaster
General, gives general satisfaction.
His entire fitness is not questioned. |
He is the leader Of the Radical Re
publicans of his State, and the re.
ioicing among those of this class
here, is of a very enthusiastic char
acter.

MENTs,
The announcement Of the Cabinet
has caused general connection
What tho politicians style their sur
prise Is thought by those notpoliti-
clans to be rather disgust at finding
tie advice Of old political hacks 50
generally ignored; but whatever
tho cause, there is great dissatisfae-
ton expressed with the Cabinet as
a whole, though most find one or
two Of the appointments which they
deem right, Office seekers are not
pleased where the choice made ne
cessitates the preparation Of new
papers, With the exception Of
Judge Hoar, Of Massachusetts, for
Attorney General, and Mr. Bowie,
Of Philadelphia, for Secretary Of
the Navy, the persons selected are
well known TO the country,
ATTORNEY GENERAL HoAR.
The enew Attorney General, Judge
L. RockwoOd Hoar, was for many
years one Of the leading members
OF the Massachusetts, bar, and for
half dozen years has been on the
Supreme bench Of that State. He
Is regarded as almost at the head
ofthe New England bar. He Is one
Of the old school free soilers, a man
OF the highest character and stand
ing. an lnveterate enemy Of fraud
and double.dcaling in every shape,
He Is about llfty-thrce years OF age,
IN full possession Of all his facul.
ties, nothing Of a politician, and
will be cordially hated by the Whis-
Ky ring and al other corrupt rings
Of the country.
