New York Cor. PHILADELPHIA Ledger.l
A numerous company Of merchants.
ship owners, journalists and others
visited the magnificent Cunord steam
er Seryia this afternoon by invitation,
and alter an inspection Of the ship,
conversation incidentally turned on
the discreditable position of our own
country with reference to the ocean
carrying trade. One prominent mer-
chant and banker mot a pro~tectionist)
remarked that he never looked at
these magnificent English vessels
without a feeling OF humililtion as an
American" He was not PREPARED
to say whose fault it was, but he was
sure the country would heartily APP.
prove any measures which Congress
might adopt looking to a change
for the better. He did not
care who built the ships, so
that we owned them. If there was
no other way Of getting a mercantile
navy he was in favor Of that way.
WE put foreigners into the army dur
ing the val without scruple," he
added, "aud we might safely put
foreign ships into our commercial
navy until we could build n of our
own lie was tired Of seeing 6f.
teen European steamships sailing
past the Battery every week, and the
stars and stripes absolutely nowhere.
1t wounded his American pride. This
line Of remark elected somewhat DIFF
ferent views from other gentlemen,
who occupy a not less influential po-
sition in the mercantile community.
They agreed that the existing CON
dition OF things was all that had
been represented, but they RADICAL
differed from the remedy proposed.
They did not want to provide a market
here for the old hulks Of the Clyde
and the Mersey, and to find employ
ment for English and Scotch mer-
chants at the expense of our own. We
could do better than that. Mr..
Blaine had hit the nail square on the
head when be said that all that is
needed was to extend to ship building
the same measure Of protection that
had been accorded TO other great in
terests. II Congress adopted that
platform, we should ere long obtain
our share Of the carrying trade. If it
declined to do so, then there was no
help for us. There is no telling
how much further the discussion
would have been pushed had not the
band, stationed at the forepart of the
vessel, struck up "Britania Rules the
Waves" alternating with Hail Col
umbia." The incident is worthy Of
mentioning as showing Che feeling that
exists on the subject. and also show.
ing how John Bulls splendid com
mercial steam steel navy is working
up a sentiment among us that one may
reasonably suppose will ultimately dc
velop into such a policy on the part Of
the government as will tend to i'm
prove our standing as a first. class

THE CABINET.
The Presidents Recent Appoint
ments and What They
Indicate.
splelal % the conrlor-Journal.

Special to the Courier-JournalI
WASHINGTON, December 16.-Pres
ident Arthur has nominated three
members of his Cabinet; he has made
Folger Secretary of the Treasury
Frelinghuysen Secretary Of State, anG
Brewster Attorney. General. A glance
az these names will show that there j.
not a man among them who has any
chances for the Presidency, and who
unless a political earthquake should
occur, could by any means catch the
Presidential itch. | have it from q
Senator who has lived with Presidcni
Arthur since he has been in
Washington, aud who was his
friend when all others deserted
him, that there will be no
possible Presidential timber in the
new Cabinet. President Arthur has
decided this, said the Senator ia
question. THE President doesn't
want any men in his Cabinet who
think they have a chance of being
made President, or who think that
through a Cabinet position they may
develop such a chance. The history
Of the last three administrations
shows that such a Cabinet officer
breeds discord, and that their presence
daily threatens a C4binet break in
some point That such is undoubt-
eddy true no one can doubt, but the pur-
pose of President Arthur is not alone
10 the interest of Cabinet harmony;
he is a life size candidate for another
term, and does not propose to have
any member among his immediate ad-
yisers who is not willing to aid him in
that way; in other words, he will not
have any Cabinet officers who have
honors of their own. He will get
around him a strong Cabinet, but
there will not be in the whole lot,
when complete, a man with future po-
litical ambitions. The political
.shrewdness Of President Arthur sur
passes that of any other President
within the recollection Of the present
generation.
Secretary Hunt the other day gave
your correspondent to understand
that he would not go back to the
Court of Claims he then evidently
had hopes Of remaining in the Cabi-
net. The chances are now decidedly
that Hunt will take Bancroft Davis
place 10 the Court Of Claims.
There is again very strong talk Of
Lonstreet being made Secretary ofthe
Navy. Both, since President Arthur
said some time ago that he would APP
point an ex Confederate in his Cabi-
net, have been trying to induce him
to put Longstreet in as a representa-
tive Southern man.

FATHER
He Hids an Unexpected and AZ
iCciing Farewell to NJ. Xavier.

Cincinnati Commercial, 49,
Father Magevney, tho eloquent
Jesuit priest, who has been preaching
a course Of sermons at ST. Xavier
church, delivered the thirteenth last
evening on Christ in the Poor Man"
The discourses have attracted i'm
mense hearings every Sunday night,
aud as priuted in the Commercial have
had u wide reading, Last evening the
good priest was even moro than usu.
ally earnest and effective. AT the
close he said in substance:
And now, goodbye. | part with
you with regret, for | love you. | have
had other audiences, but none so
near to my heart. Here | preached
my first sermon, said and sung my
first mass. | owe you more than | owe
anybody or anything, my gratitude.
That | am fully able to pay for it is
sincere and true in my breast. | will
talk to you no more. | am called
away, and some other will take my
place, but wherever | may be | will
love you; l will pray for you. / do
not ask your love, individually or col
lectively, but | ask your prayers.
With their aid | shall be able to prac-
tice what | preach; | shall win Gods
love. l bid you good bye"
The announcement was a surprise
to nearly every one in the densely
crowded church, and there was a per-
ceptible sensation, while not a few
tears could be seen. 1t is whispered,
though the discipline Of the Society
of Jesus, whose VOWS are CHARITY,
Poverty and obedience" is as a rule
as silent as it is perfect, that the elo-
quent Father is needed in the East,
whittier he goes for the winter; while
another view is that his superiors fear
that he will be overworked between
teaching in college and preaching, and
have temporarily assigned him to
duties permitting comparative rest. In
any event, he will be parted with re-
greet by all who have ever came in con-
tact with him, as either clergyman OF
gentleman. 1t is understood that his
absence will not be prolonged beyond
a few months.

WASHINGTON, December 16.-Acci-
dent, rather than curiosity, drew me

The man is an excellent actor. He

when he actually captiyated me by his

Guiteau, to begin With, could not
have played his part better. OF

mimic world and the real world can
not be.made TO harmonic; but az a
mimic actor on q real stage, he Ger.
tainly cuts no mean figure, and will go

All descriptions Of his personal APP
pearance arc at fault. He is simply
brazenly and shabby and scantily
gentsel. His voice instead of being
harsh and unnatural, is both trained
and raking; not resonant like the voice
Of Voorhees,; not cultivated to the
pitch OF Wendell Phillips, but a
homely, a vulgar cross between the
two, with 8touch Of Mulberry Sellers

avoided this droll pageant. On the
whole, | think Corkhill leads the
prosecution exceedingly well, aud has
the case thoroughly in hand. He
thinks be is sure of a verdict, and l

anybody 20 see this exhibition aud

that. morally, legally, intellectually

TAisic business.

Ell Paso Special to N. O. Timss-Democrat.l
About 1000 people gathered ia the
ampitheater at Paso del Norte to-
day to witness the bull fights, which
have been extensively advertised
throughout this whole section Of
country. At 3 o clock p m. a large
white bull was brought into the arena,
when four Mexicans, called "baDde-
%rillo," commenced waving a ''mulita"
or red flag in its face and torturiDg it
by plunging darts into its head and
neck. The animal ran around the
RUG trying to escape and making no
show of fight, and after a half hour of
the same sort OF heroic treatment the
"picador1" brought Pin a large black
bull which was subjected to the same
brutal torture. When he began to
show evidence of flight he was lod out
of the ring. A brindle animal was then
brought in. He shared the same treat
ment, and, showing no show offght,
was turned out after a half hours
caporing in the arena. 1t was purely
a Mexican affair and regarded by the
Americans in attendance as a bigfarce,
The bull fight will continue during
the week.

MY. Herald, 1871
A large number Of our Southern
contemporaries are complaining 10
regard to the slow and uncertain char
acter Of the postal service in that part
of the country. The Augusta Chron.
iclo Of a recent date says that letters
and papers from this city which ought
to arrive tho day after mailing, are
two days aud sometimes three days on
tho route. This is a very great hard
ship on all classes and a serious in
jury 70 business, which depends very
largely on rapid communication for
success aud development, The re-
sponsibihty for this state Of affairs
rests with the postoihoo department.
There is no good reason why tho
South Should, not be as we'll served
as other portions Of tho country. Mr..
james has done good work in stopping
the Star Route swiudling. The next
most important service he can render
is 10 make his department in every
part OF the Republic reasonably ex.
poditious aud effective.

Monday evening at the toll-gate on
the Port Royal pike, two and a half
miles from the city, the gate-keeper,
MIR. W. j. Phillips, shot and MORALLY
wounded a young man named Nick
Heathman. We believe bad feeling
had existed between the parties for
some time, arising, as far as we could
learn, from a disposition on the partof
Heathman to beat the gate out Of the
toll. On Monday the parties met in
town, when hot words passed,
and but TOR the Intervention of
friends a fight would have
resulted. Phillips went home before

down to keep him from passing through

While the whole subject Of Civil Ser

it BY the non. office holding, non
