to himself to let the public have the

The New York Evening Post says
of Ex-Governor Morgan's appoint-
ment as Secretary of the Treasury
When the appointment of Mr.. E.
Morgan as Secretary of the Treasury
was a strong probability, we ex-
pressed the opinion that this would
perhaps be the most prudent and
generally acceptable selection Presi-
dent Arthur could make It was,
however, considered uncertain
whether Mr.. Morgan would accept.
But this morning Washington dis
patch in the Tribune announces that,
according to the outgivings of some
of Mr.. Morgan friends, he will accept,
"at least for a time" which is inter-
preted as meaning that he will retire
after few months service to make
room for Mr.. Conkling, who is to
step into the Treasury as soon as it is
thought that bis appointment will no
longer shock the public sense of pro
priety. Mr.. Morgan would in this
case be used as sort of warming
pan to make the bed comfortable
for Mr.. Conkling. It strikes us that
to be q Warming Pan Secretary would
not comport with Mr.. Morgans dig
nifty, nor would any tricky arrange
ment of this kind have favorable
effect upon President Arthurs rela
tons with the people. The best
thing, in fact the only safe thing, the
President can do, is to deal frankly
and aboveboard with the public. If
he wants very much to have Mr..
Conkling in the Cabinet he should
declare his intention without dis
guise, and hear what the people have
to say to it. If he thinks that Mr..
Conkling's appointment would be an
unsafe thing to do, he should not
make any provisional arrangements
by which the highest Offices of the
Government are treated as playthings.
The warming pan business would not
only be undignifed, but it would, in
all probability, not answer its pur-
pose. We hope Mr.. Morgan will
accept in good faith to stay, and that
there is nothing in the rumor of back
stairs arrangements.

REFERRING to the talk about the
appointment of General Longstreet
to Cabinet position, the Washing
ton correspondent Of the Baltimore
Sun says:
It seems that several Republican
Senators have represented to Presi-
dent Arthur that the appointment
would be good one. It has never
previously been made public that at
the time Mr.. Key went out of the
Cabinet of Mr.. Hayes, General
Longstreet was very strongly pressed
as his successor, and at one time
Mr.. Hayes positively promised the
friends of the ex-Confederate general
that he should receive the appoint
ment. Afterwards the Tennessee
Republicans represented to Mr..
Hayes that if a citizen of that State
was appointed the Republicans
could elect the Governor and carry
the legislature, thus securing a
United States Senator. This decided
Mr.. Hayes to appoint Mr.. Maynard,
and General Longstreet was then
given Mr.. Maynards place as Minis
ter to Turkey. Now, General Grant,
Mr.. Conkling, Senator Kellogg, of
Louisiana, and others close to Presi-
dent Arthur have assured him that
the selection Of General Longstreet
for Cabinet position as a repre-
sentative Southern man would
be wise; that the hundred thousand
or more Southern men whom Gen
eral Longstreet at one time and
another commanded still respect him
for his purity and dignity of charao-
ter, and would take pride in his ele-
Walton, and that it would be very
faverably received all over the South.
If Mr.. Hunt remains in the Cabinet,
there would not of course be much,
if any, prospect of any other South
ern man being appointed. But those
who are pressing General Long
street say they have no idea of Mr..
Hunts remaining. In this cennec>
ton your correspondent has author
ity to give the facts in reference to
the appointment of Mr.. Hunt to a
place in the Cabinet by Garfield. 1t
was with the distinct understanding
that it was only an experiment, and
that if any time General Garfield
found he could obtain Southern
man who would be more acceptable
to Republicans generally of the two
sections, or more agreeable to him
self personally, he would be at per
feet liberty to consider the place al
his disposal.
This is given for what it is worth

A few days ago the newspapers contained

was exposed and the lock easily opened. 1t

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1881.
THE BARRETT BRIBERY CASE.

A desperate attempt has been
made to secure the indictment of
State Senator Barrett for bribery.
The charge is that the senator &C
cepted a bribe in consideration of his
vote for the 1908 proposition. We
knew Senator Barrett as State
credit man long before he voted Oh
the 1908 bill, and we expected him
to vote rs he did. Con-
sequently we cannot see that
there was any occasion for bribing
him to vote that way, even if he had
been corrupt enough to accept a
bride. The presumption then was
strong against the theory of his
prosecutors.
One grand jury acted upon the case,
and because it failed to find true
bill, the court was petitioned to diss
charge the members who were OPP
posed to returning a true bill In
stead of doing that, Judge Quarles
discharged the entire jury and had
new jury empanuelled. The new
jury, which is composed of some of
the best men of Nashville has had
the mat ter under investigation about
ten days and the Nashville American
of Tuesday morning gives the result
of their labors as follows:
At noon, yesterday, the grand
jury entered the Criminal Court
room. DR.. Ordway, the foreman,
gave to Judge Quarles paper and
the grand jury then retired. The
paper handed to Judge Quarles was
the bill of Indictment drawn by
Attorney General Washington, which
sought to indict Senator Barrett for
bribery in connection with his vote
on the 1908 bill. On the bill was
written mot true BILL" signed by
DR.. G. N. Ordway, foreman Of the
grand jury.
The fact that the grand jury had
ignored the bill was not known out
side of perhaps a dozen persons,
yesterday, and consequently this an
nouncement will be surprise, even to
some Of the gentlemen who were
pressing the indictment. In converse
ton with a number of gentlemen
some of whom have testified before
the grand jury in relation to the
Barrett investigation, an American
reporter found that no one knew OF
the termination of the investigation
It was whispered about the court
house that some conclusion had beer
reached This was caused by the
appearance of Attorney Genera
Washington in the court room during
the afternoon. It could not be
ascertained how the grand jury had
voted on the bill, but the action O
the foreman in returning the bill
shows that the matter is ended al
far as the present grand jury ii
concerned.
At this distance this whole thing
has had the appearance Of a persecu
ton. The effort to bulldoze the frs
grand jury looks that way to us, ant
as we have mentioned before, the fac
that Senator Barrett is a Republican
may have something to do with it
We would not shield him from pun
ishment for wrong-doing if he i
guilty, but if he is not, and the fac
that the grand jury refuse
to find bill against hir
is evidence that he is not, he ough
not to punished merely because b
happens te be Republican. It
not crime to be Republican.
