Mr. Statlton lias ramped the duties
of Secretary of War. The history of
the case fa well known to our readers.
King And was desirous that his will
nnd uot that of Congress should be
obeyed. With this intention, Cirant'i
position ns Secretary of War, ad inter'
im, was to hnve been Ailed by an ap
pointee nominated by the President, and
whom ho knew would yield to displace
niunt but by farce of crms. The
Tenure of Olaee Bill, which prevents
removals and appointments by the
IWKt without the concurrence of
the Senate was thus to be circumvent
d and nullified, if not by stubborn
will by an issue at arms. Congress
"mated" the President in his game.
His reasons for upending Stanton
were not considered substantial and he
was sent back to his post. Crant, ac
customed to oljudicnce to the law-mak-
ine powers and at all times acting for
the good of the countrv, gave up ihe.eratf-;) who still remain inlh" Northern
keys of the department and returned
' to his duties as General of the Arm v.
Findiug himself defeated in the base
nurniwn of r-omtirllimr Coiio-resg to
r i i o o
assert iU dignity by force of arms and
thereby give a pretext for innaugurat -
ing a civil war, he turns his batteries
upon Grant and accuses him of a breach
of faith. What belter assurance is
wanted by th? people of the tacit j l;shed" iu the eoutest. We assort that
sympathy, lor. :..ih-lit and wisdom, of! the people have spoken against such j
theman whom we have chosen for j arrant knavery mora than once in the
our standard bearer ? The malignity ! last seven years, and when the"'worst" I
of the President has not yet developed , cmcs, as it will about tho 3rd of next

We can listen with great forbearance
to the tirade of those who mean busi
ness when they talk of a war of races
or another attempt to revolutionize by
arms men who in the recent struggle
bore arms against the Government, but
patience exhausts itself entirely when
our eye is caught by a paragraph such
A3 the following : "The elements of

EvTything is ripe for a collision be

Mn. Pi.AyroRi), the "Democratic
representative in the IIuu.ic, from
Fayette Co., the other day relieved
himself of a surcharge of venom upon
the Secretary of War. In the course
of his remarks he alluded to the ser
vices of "gallant General Lee." Upon
being roughlv handled bv fweral Re
publican members, he, with the char
acteristic meanness of tho party,
attempted to explain himself, but only
became more deeply imbedded in the
slough. Mr. Playford is a worthy
scion of Fayette Democracy and acts
well his part!-
We notice that our mis-representative
in the House at Ilarrisburg, Mr.

pointment on tho committees on "Vice
and Immorality" and "Accounts."
Politically ho has large experience in

rernando Wood bad the lloor, and
had proceeded but. a few mnmcuts,
when he pronounced the pending bill
" a monstrosity, and the most infamous
one ofthe most infamous measures of
this most infamous Congress." The
words fell with startling effect on the
House and crowded galleries, and Mr.
Bingham, of Ohio, promptly called
Mr. Wood to order, and asked, accor
ding to the rules ofthe House, that
the words be uiken down aud reported
i at the Clerk's desk, which was done,
anc tho Chair (fir..icr.il Garfield ten,
porarily presiding) ruled the words
out of order.
'"10 flucst'nn under the rules was
then put, "shall the member be al-
jhwed to proceed in order," and the
House bv ISO to 108 a party vote-
refused to allow him to continue his
speech".'"'
Mr. Dawis. of Mass., then offered a
resolution to censure Mr. Wood fori
the words which he had spoken, and
the Speaker reprimand him forthwith
at the bar of the House.' No debate
followed, but Mr. Kerr, of Indiana,
moved to lay the resolution on the ta
ble, which was lost. A vote w as then
taken on the resolution and it passed
by yeas 114, hays oG a party vote.
The .Speaker called Mr. Wood to
the bar of the House, and that eentle-
I man, with the utmost nonchnkuy e, left
the seat where lie had been sitting as
still as a statute, and came down to
the end of thq right hand aisle, where
placing his hand on n desk he re
mained stationary.'- The utmost si
lence prevailed oh tho floor aud in the
crowded galleries'. Ho read an f,
tract from May's Parliamentary Di
gest, showing in what light his offense
was considered in Parliament, aiid in
other deliberative bodies, wherein a
niemlier had expressed himself in con-
U-nipt of theiu, uud thou added : "
" You have been censured by this
House for havine violsted this funda
mental rule of all deliberative bodies.
This duty being pa fanned, you will
resume your stmt.
Mr. Wood retired to his seat nnd
asked permission to continue his re
invrks. Thl? was received with a
loud hiugh va the l"iublieau sid,
and was ruled ont nf order in view of
the action -of the, 1 louse.
Tho . del)oto was then continued
among other niembcrsj Mr. Fams
worth, of Illinois, in the course of bis
remarks, alluded to the Democrats as
the rebel brctlireu of General Ilan
eook, for which he was called to order,
and the Speaker decided his remarks
out of order, ,
Mr. Muugen, of Ohio, offered a res
olution of censure, and it was voted
down vira voce.
During the debate to-day, crowds
filled the galleries and popular feeling
ran high.
Wabhi.noton, January 1 J, 1838.
Matters arc assuming a quiet aspect
in regard to Secretary Stanton, and no
new tlevelopemcu's nave been made
public. 1
Statements were telegraphed from
here last night that Generals Grant
nnd Sherman urged upon .Stanton to
tender bis resiguition ; thai this advice
would be heeded, and his resignation
handed in to day. A prominent Kad
ical Senator was with Stanton for over
an hour this morning, and he sl.ates
that Stanton expressed a firm deter
mination not to l;e foired from his po
sition by the President, but would re
main and discharge the duties of bis
oilk'e, for lie was master of the situa
tion, and (lid not think thai the Pres
ident would d.iro to use force to eject
him.

General Grant wa' on the floor ol
House to-day lor some time am was
the centre of attraction among the
members.
The report that Gen. Grant is to be
court martialed for surrendering the
ollicc to Mr. Stanton, is siinpiv redicu
lous. Iiy whom shall he be tried and
for what? Is the Secretary-ship of
tho War office a civil or military of
fice? General Grant, by his graceful
surrender of the keys and papers im
mediately ou the action of the Senate
in the matter, has dune more to define
his position than if he had made a
five hour's speech. All the odium
that attaches to his acceptance of the
Secretaryship wl inkriui has now been
removed and he now stands, as a
member of the House expressed il this
morning, twenty-live per cent, higher
iu tho estimation of Republicans than
he did two days ago. There can be no
doubt that his desire is to carry out
the will of the law'-uiak ing power.
Mr. Stanton roniaine.l at his ofliee
all day and transacted a irood deal of
official busiues, even sending theconi
j inunicatinns to Cougrcwi in answer to

The Senate was not in icssion to-day.
Tho House this afternoon agreed to
the reeoiiiiiiendaliou ofthe Ways and
Means Committee recommending lion
coneurreni ; iu tho Senate amendment
to the iinti-eniitraction bill. The dif
ferenco between the two Houses is that
the Senate merely repeals the act of

the currency by the. Secretary ofthe
Treasury, while the House bill simply
j prolunils tlie Secretary irom exercising.
any pirwer 01 cnmrai mm miner mat act
or any other. The Senate will proba

IV unnaiiiious consent the order of
the House that the vote on reconstruc
tion be taken to-day was rescinded,
and the vote on the bill was postponed
until Monday, and it was further
resolved that there should ba a session
to-morrow for debate only.
The rest ofthe day was spent in
debate. The attendance of the specta
tors and the interest in the proceedings
of to-day were very great. Mr.
Doutwell, in the course of his re
marks said that he regretted the
failure ofthe impeachment question
last month. Hecoriiidercd it probable
that President Johnson would be nom
