THE SERIES EDITOR AT A CABINET
.MEETING I
FULL DISCLOSURES ! !
At the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday the
President sent for me, saying that he wished
a correct report of the proceedings taken down
for publication, as the New York papers, as a
rule, get their news of the Cabinet meetings
from the different freedmen that wait around
the White House, and were, consequently,
Tery highly colored and unreliable. Not feel
ing at liberty to decline an invitation so gra
ciously given, and, moreover, being anxious to
get the first reliable news from the seat of
power, I took up my position, note-book in
hand,
AT THE HEAD OF THE TABLE,
alongside of the President, with the amiable
Secretary of the Navy, in which position we
supported Mr. Johnson in his trying circum
stances. Mr. Stanton was not resent. The
President rose and said: "A few days ago I
wrote to the Secretary of War that I wished
to secure harmony in our meetings, and as he
was always disposed to vote nay when the
rest of us voted yea, and yea when the rest
f us voted nay, I thought he had better not
have his feelings hurt by being obliged to sit
here and see us all going contrary to his
Wishes. I sent word to this effect in a com
munication to him by the hands of Colonel
Moore, my private Secretary, but I have had
no answer."
Mr. Seward here spoke up and said that per
haps he doesn't want any Moore communications
from the President 1 (Great laughter by all
hut Mr. Welles.) "He, "the President, "had
since learned that Mr. Stanton was not at
work, and was losing a great deal of time run
ning to see Mr. Greeley and others, as to what
he should do, while his pay was going on all
the time. He would now move that the Cabi
net 'dock him' for his lost time, as the only
way of bringing him to a sense of his duty."
Mr. Welles here interposed, and wanted to
know if docking the Secretary of War was the
came as docking any other Man-of-war?
The President at this remark could hardly
keep himself within proper bounds of dignity
for laughter. He halloed over to Mr. Seward
as to what he thought of that, and said to me
in a low tone that that was the smartest thing
he ever 'heard Mr. "what's his name, the
Secretary of the Navy ?" say. The only one
that did not understand what was going on
was the Secretary of the Navy himself, who
was unconscious of the joke, and after the
confusion had a little subsided, began to ex
plain that if the Secretary of War was to be
"docked" he would have to be sent to Ports
mouth, New Hampshire, aB all of the other
docks were occupied with larger craft. This,
jiS the reader may conceive, made the thing no
better, and the hilarity at the Secretary of the
Navy's expense became general. Poor Mr.
Welles' face got very red, which, under his
white top-knot, looked very much like a well
filled decanter with a tall stopper. I had to
explain to the Secretary myself the meaning
Of the term "docking," as applied to employed
men. before he could be toned down to his
natnral color. He said he had never heard of
such a thing in Connecticut, and, besides, his
a y.t been for over six years running on
ahins. and he had got quite into their ways,
m.., r.aiant i.pra crave me a nudge, but I
flt that I had better make no demonstration,
considering the grey hairs of the venerable
Secretary. Mr. Seward, I noticed, was also in
a stailinc humor.
Th President again rose and said, "What
I have asked
REBION BIS PORTFOLIO,
but aa yet I have not seen it." I here inter
rupted the President myself, and asked him
if it contained any sketches or water colors;
as, if it did, I would like to see it myself when
Mr. Stanton gave it up. The President said
he knew it contained several colored views, and
had no doubt I could find some in his port
lolio. As he said this he gave Mr. Welles
and myself both punches in the side. I saw
the joke immediately. Mr. Welles didn't.
The President continued, "The Secretary of
War has views incompatible with the Consti
tution. In my late message, where I argued
for the discharge of 'Coppy' and 'Knuckle
Pen,' so called, who are now confined in the
Capitol Prison for bounty jumping, murder of
loyal citizens and counterfeiting in my mes
sage, I there argued that the Government
ought, in discharging 'Ben' and his pals, pay
all of their debts contracted previous to their
incarceration. To this Mr. Stanton voted nay,
as you, gentlemen, and my young friend of Tub
Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, all very
well know; I, in that message, also argued, as
did the Attorney-General, that as these men
were deprived of the privileges of labor by
the action of the Government, that their past
debts ought not only to be assumed by the
General Government, but they should be paid
all they might have made if they had been
properly employed during the time of their
imprisonment. To this proposition the Secre
tary of War voted nay. I also said further,
that these men contracted these debts previous
to their difficulties with the police, consequently
when no such a thing as an arrest was in
mroRnect: and. as such, were debts which
think the Government, in discharging them
from custody, are bound to pay. To this posi
tion of mine and the Attorney-General's, Mr.
Stanton voted nay. Theses debt were shown to
have been contracted by these parties in the lau
dable desire to improve their personal appear
ance and to develop their resources, and were in
no wise created with a view mainly of cheating
their creditors." To this proposition, also, Mr.
Stanton voted nay. Gentlemen of the Cabinet
and our guest from Philadelphia, I really be
lieve that the Secretary of War voted nay to
these propositions of the Government, because
he saw that if he allowed the payment of these
men's debts, or the assuming of them by the
Government, and their pals, on their discharge
from jail, he must, in like logic, allow the as
sumption of the debts of the Confederate States,
so called, on our admitting them to any rights
as pait or parcel of the United States. (Symp
toms of applause from Mr. Seward.) To be
sure, if we assume these debts, it may in a
measure impair the credit of the nation by
adding to a debt already inconveniently large,
as Mr. McCulloch tells me; but by repudiating
them, it would appear to be a violation of
faith to the holders of these old accounts,
which are mostly held by hotel-keepers and
other loyal citizens of this city.
Mr. Randall said the argument was ex
hausted, and he moved that the Secretary of
War be requested to send in his portfolio as
soon as the President could select another gen
tleman for the office, and he would take this
opportunity to remind the President that the
Great West had other men besides Mr. Stanton.
The President said he had in his trunk
several recommendations of themselves from
gentlemen in all parts of our great country,
boutnern as well as Western, and the recom
mendations are accompanied in many in
stances by
PHOTOGRAPHS OF GENTLEMEN WHO WOULD TAKE
KB. STANTON'S PLACE,
aiiu iw wuuiu in no case ue troubled, as to a
successor. If the Cabinet were willing, be
would move that Mr. Stanton be invited to
n .1 V T 1 .' . . . . .
send in his portfolio, just as it is.
Mr. Seward suggested that he tie it with red
tape before he sends it in. Here the President
gave me another punch under the ribs.
A long silence now pervaded the circle, and
the members took the subject into considera
tion. We had what is called in White House
language
A PROTRACTED MEETING,
but it was quite a different thing, so far as noise
went, to what I was taught "a protracted
meeting" was when I was a boy. as we used
to have them every winter at the old white
meeting-house. I did not feel like sleep, so I
ook the opportunity to make a sketch of the
shall we do with Mr. Stanton
him to
Cabinet, as they were debating a vote on the
Importance of the Secretary of War Bending
his portfolio to the President, as it is evident
the Secretary appreciates his portfolio, and the
President on his part wants very much to look
Into it.
I would rather look in Mr. Darley's any
time, and afterwards told the President so;
but he said he knew I was prejudiced.
Before I left Washington I called on Mr.
Stanton, and he told me he was on the horns
of a dilemma; but he did not tell me how he
was going to get off.
The horns the President gets mixed up with
are equally perplexing.
Note. I would not have published an
account of this meeting, but I see other papers
are not observing the injunction of secresy in
the matter. I therefore do not feel that
further privacy of the proceedings is binding
on me. S. .
P. P. S. The latest news from Washing
ton is that Mr. Stanton will or will not give up
his portfolio by Monday noon, if he should feel
go inclined. I have this on the best authority.
THE ENTENTE CORDIALE.
It is not often that the President does any
thing bo weak as is implied by the above
heading, he having long since banished "Cor
dial" from the Presidential sideboard, and
supplanted it with "sterner stuff." But being
overcome with a fullness of good feelings, he
sent the following invitation, nicely engraved
and printed on best No. 1 crystallized card,
board, to the Secretary of War. What can
be the meaning of this little attention in such
an unexpected direction, we, perhaps, shall
never know, as the recipient of the favor was
unable to avail himself of the invitation.
Let us hope, however, it did not mean pistols
and collee, but was only to discuss the evi
dence in the Surratt trial, or what disposition
to make of General Grant, or something of
that sort.
The cards of invitation and declination, how
ever, we give below:
