8er.rtta.rjr McCulloch's Letter,
from the N. Y. Times.
It Is questionable whether Secretary MoCul
Jocli ha3 not given to the. recent exlravngant
jtatements as to alleged frauds In the TreaBiiry
Department too much prominence, y writing
Ihe letter to the Assistant Treasurer which
Las Just been published. The hostility which
could put forth such extraordinary charges
Would hardly he put down by the Secretary's
denial of them, however satis factory they may
lie to every unprejudiced man. That hostility
Vill not be silenced by his letter. It will
affect to doubt his word, and will probably con
tinue to endeavor to raise up phantoms and
lmgbears of fraud and peculation and all sorts
of rascality; will still speak of suppressed in
Testigatious in the face of Mr. McCulloch's
declaration that all statements as to any such
Suppressions are groundless; will still eudeavor
to excite fears, without any ground of know
ledge, that there have been enormous over
issues, and intimate that the Secretary is
jesponpible for the frauds which have been
committed upon the revenue.
liut those who are not actuated by such hos
tility will know how to estimate the weight of
these attacks. They will see from what quar
ters they come. They will remember that it
Is the universal resource to which knaves be
take themselves against an honest man whom
they want out of their way, to charge him with
leing engaged in the very rascalities which his
presence is preventing, and they will satisfy
themselves whether a very large portion of the
attacks on the Secretary cannot be accounted
for as the use of that resource. They will
ask themselves what is the feeling towards the
Secretary of those who are engaged in the
whisky frauds, tabacco frauds, petroleum
faunrts. and all the other frauds, and
Whether they are anxious mat ms nanas snaii
lie strengthened, or that he shall be compelled
to pive place to a successor.
They will ask what were our financial circum
stances at the time when the Secretary took
liis seat. They will think what have been the
difficulties of the country since that time, and
What progress we have made in the midst of
them all. And, thinking of all these circum
stances, they will require more than the state
ments of irresponsible writers desirous of
making a sensation, and careless of the mean3
if they only succeed in doing so before they
join in any outory against the Secretary, or
express aDy wish to see hia charge put in other
Lands.
Some of these men are bold enough to de
mand a thorough investigation into the affairs
of the Treasury; but we have no idea that
such an investigation is what they really de
sire. We have no thought that such an in
Testigation would result in anything else than
in showing before the whole people how igno
rant of the facts and kow reckless of the truth
they have been in their assaults upon the De
partment. Watchman, What of the NtghtT
From the 2V. Y. Herald.
Revolutions do not stop. He who dares to
throw himself as a barrier to stay them sinks
before their irresistible march. True genius
Seizes the helm, rides on the tide, gathers and
liarmonizes the contending forces, and by the
power of intellect guides events more quickly
to their resultant. Will Mr. Johnson finally
rise to the demands of the situation 1 Can he f
The next few weeks will show us. Judging,
however, from past blunders his apparent
desire to embody in himself all political power;
to merge into unity the three branches of Gov
ernment, and call that unit Andrew Johnson;
to place himself alone as the exponent which
gives the only value to every political equa
tion; to make the people, who have fought
for and gained the great battle of nationality,
believe that Congress does not represent them
he will fail to take fortune at the flood and re
deem himself.
The quarrel between the President and Con
gress is but a phase in the great march of our
revolution. Congress has no more risen to
the magnitude of the problem than has Mr.
Johnson. Failing to comprehend the great
principles that underlie the reharmonizing of
the nation, they have let slip their opportuni
ties, dallied with reconstruction, mingled it
too much with political ambitions, forgotten
that they were legislating for the country,
lowered themselves to the narrow scope of
a party, and have at last thrown themselves
off guard and shown the vulnerable points
in their armor. Thus light is breaking in.
Kow let the President use it. Let him correct
his first great error the retention of the old
Cabinet left by Mr. Lincoln ; let him brush
them away in a body. They were born of other
times and other wants. New issues demand
new men. Let us have them. Had Mr. Johnson,
upon his accession to power, named a new
Cabinet and called Congress together immedi
ately, the reconstruction" of the South would
long since have been ended ; for he and the
people, through their Congress, would have
pulled together in a common purpose. It is
not yet too late to restore harmony between
the forces of Government. Now, however, is
the moment to strike. Let the President, by
Virtue of the executive right given to him by
our fundamental law, suspend the Cabinet,
the Tenure of Office bill to the contrary not
withstanding; for that is one of the Congres-
, sional blunders. If he has no courage to do
this he is not equal to the occasion, and thereby
proves that we have no hope of national har
mony until his term of ottioe has expired or
Congress has impeached him. So rare an op
portunity for a man to retrieve himself has
never occurred in our political history; and
we now look to Mr. Johnson to refute or
admit all that his enemies have said against
Lim. We can have no reconstruction of the
country until we have had a reconstruction of
the Cabinet; lor tins, ny us too ready in
fluence upon the President, has made him a
political bat-stick for party purposes.
Besides the reconstruction of hi3 Cabinet

THE DATLV EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA. MONDAY,
Church Itntee aad Engl'ih BIliop
From the jV. Y. Tribune, .
Among the many important questions with
Which the Reform Parliament, to be elected
under the Household Suffrage bill which has
Just passed the British Legislature, will be
called upon to deal, that of the connection at
present existing between Church and State in
the old country oooupies a foremost place. If
we read aright the signs of the times, it is clear
that that connection is destined to be dissolved
at no distant day. By a large majority the
bill for abolishing church rates has again,
during the session that has just closed, passed
in the House of Commons. Again it has been
thrown out by the House of Lords; but it is
significant that every succeeding year it is
sent up from the Commons to the l'eers with
the eudorsatiou of an increased majority of
the people's representatives. It is not the
amount of money actually involved in the mat
ter which causes opposition to the measure.
That is comparatively insignificant, being no
more than a million and a quarter of dollars, :
of which sum a little more than one-half is
expended in the ceremonial of the Church, and j
the residue upon ordinary and extraordinary
repairs of the edifices. Considering that the J
State Church in Lngland includes among its
members and adherents the most wealthy and
influential classes, nothing would be easier
than to replace this amount by volun
tary contributions. But the advocates of the
State Church feel that to abolish church rates
would be the insertion of the thia wedge; and
they are right. It is not that the Church can
not do without the money yielded by these
rates, but it is that it cannot, if it is to continue
a State establishment, afford to admit the
prinuiple upon which the abolition of the
impost is urged. Let the church rates go,
and the abolition of tithes must inevitably fol
low; in which event the whole fabric of the
establishment falls to pieces. The English
Dissenters make no secret of their ultimate
object in demanding the abolition of the rates.
They only begin with this;' they have no idea
of stopping when they have conquered here.
They want perfect religious equality, and they
are now in the sure way of getting it. Poli
tical equality and religious disability cannot
long coexist. The Reform bill, in conceding
the former, will prepare the way for the re
moval o f the latter. Among the stoutest oppo
nents of the abolition of church rates are
to be found, of course, the Bishops of the Eng
lish Church. But whether they will be per
mitted to retain their political functions much
longer is very questionable. In an article on
Goldwin Smith's lecture on Oliver Cromwell
and his Contemporaries, just published, the
London Daily News has some very significant
remarks relative to this matter. Speaking
of the career of the renowned patriot Pym, it
says: "In his time great reforms were made in
the Constitution. Then, as now, the House of
Lords was more studious about saving their
privileges than satisfying the country. Among
the bills sent up to them was one depriving
the Bishops of votes iu the Upper House.
This reform was as imperative then as the
reform of Parliament is now. The Lords
threw out the bill. The country was in an
uproar. Petitions were signed by the people,
and Pym presented them to the Lords,
saying that the Commons 'would be sorry
that the story of that Parliament should
tell posterity that in so great a danger
and extremity the House of Commons
should be enforced to save the kingdom
alone.' On that occasion the Lords wisely
yielded, passing the bill with but three dis
sentient voices. A similar conflict may be
imminent. Let us hope their lordships may
not provoke a collision whereof the issue will
certainly be unfavorable to them, but showing
themselves wise iu time, will render it un
necessary for a modern Pym to compel their
acquiescence in the demands of the country."
Language like this and it is not confined to
one section of the English press foreshadows
another struggle following closely upon that
which has just resulted in Parliamentary re
form. Political rights won, the next light will
be for religious equality; for, till the latter is
gained, as well as the former, the complement
of freedom is not reached. It is impossible at
present to say which will be carried first the
abolition of church rates, or the removal of
the Bishops from the House of Lords; but
either evtint will be but "the beginning of the
end" for the State Church in England.
A New Cabinet for the President.
From the A". Y. Herald.
We want a new national Cabinet. Therein
lies the solution of the whole difficulty be
tween the President and Congress. The time
demands live men. Let the fossils be assigned
quarters in the Smithsonian Institution. In
the Treasury Department let us have either
Alpheus Sherman, of this city, or John J. Cisco,
or Henry R. Stebbins. They are all superior
to Mr. McCulloch, who will do very well to
manage a small banking establishment in a
frontier town.
For the navy let us have Admiral Porter,
ad interim, like General Grant in the War
office; for an infusion of dash and spirited
management into mat Department will en
able us to show to loreign nations that we
still live. It is, however, in the Secretary's
office particularly that we require change.
The ancient representative of th rm,liiln
family who presides there is too far ad
vanced in his dotage, permits the adoption of
no idea that is not born of his own brain,
which, having ceased to produce, now leans
entirely upon the President. As Secretary,
therefore, let us have a man of broad and com
prehensive intellect, like John A. Andrew, of
Massachusetts, or Daniel E. Sickles, or Charles
r rands Adams. In the other Pjlhi net. rrwi-
tions, leaving General Grant in the War office,
we give the President liberty to put in any
sucks ne may choose; they are of no account
any way.

well known as non-admirers of those wliq are

credit the name of Tribune in Chicago, will
stand aghast at the hypocrisy of this Journal
in expressing regret at the return of Governor
Seward to private life.
Now we have no idolizing affection for
Seward or Stanton, and, of course, affect nons.
Yet we regret the dismissal of either from the
Cabinet at this crisis. Can you ask why ? The
progress of reconstruction was rapid and
general, and the goal plainly iu sight. Had
the President simply forborne, all would
have been consummated long before the
next Presidential election. But Mr. Johnson
has resolved to stop the good work. He vir
tually tells the ex-Hebels not to accept the
terms prescribed by Congress, but to hold
buck, and resist, and struggle, iu the oonfident
hope that the North will come to their aid.
And each removal strengthens and arouses
whatever of disloyalty remains at the South.
Whoever regrets "The Lost Cause" will be
inspired by these removals to hope that it i3
not lost that, in essence and substance, there
is yet a chance for its success. So the good
werk of pacification is to be arrested, while
hate and bitterness reign once more at the
South, exciting like impulses at the North.
Mr. Johnson's desperate expedient will fail;
buti t will meantime distraot the South afresh,
and convulse the whole country. Hence we
deeply regret the foreshadowed Cabinet
changes, not because Messrs. Seward, Welles,
etc., are to go out, but because the accession
of their successors is a triumph of the baleful
influences which are still fanning the embers
of our great civil war.
Secretary MiCullocti and the Treaiury
Department.
iVom the 2V. Y. World.
We devoutly trust that the predictions of a
thorough reorganization of the Cabinet may
come true. Mr. Johnson's Cabinet, as a whole,
does not possess the confidence of the country,
nor of any political party. This has been the
case from the beginning of his administration,
and it i3 one of the chief reasons why the
moral influence of the Exeoutive has been so
nearly annihilated. Mr. Seward has, for
years, been detested alike by Democrats and
Republicans ; and yet he has been the Presi
dent's most influential and trusted adviser.
The President is happily rid of Stanton, at
least for the present ; and after Snward and
Stanton the remaining members of the Cabinet
are without political influence, and most of
thein without special ability. It the Treasury
were not in the condition in which it happens
to be at this cris-is, we should favor an entire
change in the personnel of the administration ;
but under the circumstances, we must make a
reluctant exception in favor of Secretary
McCulloch, for reasons whioh we proceed to
Btate.
The whisky interest, that is to say, the
fraudulent portion of it, which is the most
powerful and influential, is suffering severely
from the stringent measures inaugurated by
Mr. McCulloch to prevent frauds and increase
the revenue from that source. On July 1 the
Metropolitan Revenue Board commenced its
operations in this city, and the total amount
ot the tax collected on distilled spirits drawn
from bond for the month of July was $134,810,
against $51,330 for the month of June, show
ing the enormous monthly gaiu of 83,474, or
an increase of nearly three times under Mr.
McCulloch's new system. The receipts for
the month of August will be about $175,000,
or an increase of three and a half times the
average monthly receipts before the Metro
politan Board existed. This enormous in
crease in so short a space of time has taken
place also when a number of the legitimate
distilleries are closed, and others are running
at only half of their capacity. In plain terms,
the whisky interest last month has to thank
Mr. McCulloch for the loss of $83,474, or
at the rate of a million dollars per
annum, in this city alone, which is just so
much gained by Government. The additional
revenue gained by Government iu this city for
the ensuing year will not be less than
81,500,000 up to $2,500,000. The active mem
ber of the Board is Colonel Messmore. Gene
ral Uillyer, of General Grant's stall', is Chief
of the Revenue Agency. As General Grant is
the warm personal friend of these two gentle
men, the whisky fraud business may be
quoted, in Wall street phraseology, "dull
and heavy, with a downward tendency," just
so long as the present Treasury Department
arrangements can be quoted "active and
strong, with an upward tendency."
These figures show that the whisky interest
can well afford to spend much money, and
even to run a newspaper of their own, to
hound the Secretary of the Treasury, if they
can only succeed in getting Mr. McCulloch
out of office, and putting therein somebody
more pliable. So much for those who are
clamorous for a change in the Treasury De
partment. The World is not now, and never has been,
the advocate of Mr. McCulloch or his policy.
We have at all times, and do now, cheerfully
accord him the virtues essential in a custo
dian of the public purse of integrity, pru
dence, and patriotism in the administration of
the affairs ol his department. At the same time,
we differ from him widely in many important
points. And yet we deprecate any change in
the head of the Treasury Department at the
present critical juncture in affairs. It would
be a hazardous experiment to change even for
a better man. A calm consideration of the
past,and the probable contingencies consequent
on a change, will assist in forming a sound judg
ment on this matter. It must be borne in mind
as a fact, whetherdeervedly so or not is n0"ier
question, the fact remains the same, that the
press and people of the United States have
given more approval and less disapproval to
Mr. McCulloch and his official acts, both as
Comptroller of the Currency and Secretary ox
the Treasury, than to any other officer ot tne
Government since 18U4. Europe a3ITeu':
gized him and his acts, as well as iue
States. His resignation, therefore, simulta
neously with rumors of frauds in "P"'
ment, would certainly shake mercantile i con
fidence, and injure our Government credit
both at home and abroad. It would give a
coloring of truth to the rumors i of the r rea
sury Department frauds. Any mPort
change in the Treasury De partment in the
present condition of affairs here and in
Europe, would be very apt to cause shipments
of our' five-twenty 1-onds from Europe , to be
covered by gold from New Yoik. If this
should follow the resignation of Mr. MoCu 1
loch, and it is more than probable that it
would, then the price of gold would jump up
naturally, and speculation would haye i no dit
floulty in plaoing it at once above 200. Are
our bankers and merchants, are our Govern
ment finances, prepred for these eventuali
ties f Can New York sustain heavy receipts
of bonds from Europe, specie shipments to
cover them, and the derangements ef our
money markets incident thereto, without a

the otherwise flattering prospects of our fall

The President has done one good thing at
least, and that is the removal of Secretary
Stanton. This is a good thing all round; a
good thing for the President, as it shows that
he has some backbone, which his friends had
begun to doubt; a good thing for Secretary
Stanton, for it makes him the radical candi
date for the next Presidency; a good thing for
Grant, as it makes him our next President;
a good thing for Butler, as it bottles him up
once more; and a good thing for us all. as it
secures to the country in peace the services of
the man who saved it in war. It was alto
gether the boldest and most effectual stroke
that has been delivered on either side of the
Reconstruction struggle for a long time. Con
gress has heretofore had the lighting princi
pally to itself; it has pitched in with disabili
ties and restrictions, and reductions of execu
tive patronage and power, till it had, as it
finally supposed, its adversary at its feet; but
in this last act the latter seems suddenly to
have recovered his vitality, and to have deli
vered a settler that knocked the former out of
time.
We have invariably defended Stanton when
during the war he was traduced and vilified
tor his firmness, decision, and energy, which
his enemies called despotism, impoliteness,
and brutality. The country is under a load of
gratitude that it cannot pay, and which it cer
tainty will not by bestowing the next Presi
dency upon him; that goes to Grant, but when
he shall have completed the customary second
teim, and the people shall have settled down
into a position where radical views are less
dangerous, the great organizer of successful
resistance to treason should, in common grati
tude, be adorned with the highest honor they
can bestow. Stanton has proved himself a
thoroughly unselfish patriot during the war.
Much as we admire him, we must ask him to
sacrifice himself once more for his country's
good, by being beaten in a race for the Presi
dency by General Grant.
Mr. Stanton was always the ablest, and now
the President has made him the strongest, of
the leading Republican candidates. He has
infinite courage, immense vigor, and unsur
passed ability. To him belongs much of the
glory of our successes, and still more of our
heroism under defeat. He bore the labor and
heats of the day of our tribulation; he con
tended bravely with traitors abroad and con
tractprs at home; his perfect devotion to the
cause, and his entire honesty, have never been
doubted, and under the influence of the great
events through which he has passed, he has
become an extremist as black as Thaddeus
Stevens and that is a greater re
commendation to our Republican friends
than all the rest. lie represents all the
nobler sentiments of his party, and is entirely
free from its baser predilections. If the coun
try endured a terrific war, he bore his share;
if it is burdened with a crushing debt, he has
filched no part of it. And when the proper
exposures and explanations are made, which
his want of time and inclination has heretofore
prevented, we are confident that he will come
out head and shoulders above any other
prominent man in the Republican ranks. If
we could vote for a radical with all his negro
superiority and white man inferiority upon
his head we should prefer voting for Stan
ton to voting for any other that we know.
The further consequence of' the removal, in
the annihilation of Benjamin F. Butler, is a
consummation for which the publio should be
devoutly thankful. The country has had
enough of the hero of the spoons and bottle,
of impeachment and investigating committees,
and has paid him well for nis services even
admitting that he did not pay himself more
liberally still. It gave him the command of
New Orleans, where he did some good things.
and had a good time, and where he was ac
cused of doing a few bad things, and wou
rather a bad soubriquet. It put him on Con
gressional committees, and let him pry into
every matter except those relating to the gov
ernment of New Orleans under our military
( ommanders during the war, and the rumor
runs that he was not desirous of havingthose
affairs pried into. It has listened to innu
merable violent, fiery, and extravagant
speeches fwftiu him, and let him abuse and
insult the President to his heart's content.
This should satisfy any reasonable man, and
if he is nominated by the Republicans, a large
portion of that body will cut him in a brutal
manner. How does he compare to Stanton ?
like the butler to the head of the house.
By making a martyr of Mr. Stanton and
such a rebellious and positive martyr, too, as
will delight those that love to carry ideas to
all extents the President has crushed out the
minor aspirants, that entire nest of little rep
tiles, humner, 'lhaddeus fcteveus, Ben. Wade.
have no such crowning glory to show to the
people, no such magnificent record during the
war and glorious martyrdom at its termina
tion. Sumner may be a good man, but he
never was much in a fight. Thaddeus Stevens
has but one idea that the radicals behold
and say "it is good," and that scintillation is
a "mild measure ot confiscation." And as for
Ben. Wade, he jumped too far when he took
that famous leap forward; in fact, he jumped
into a bramble bush that not only scratched
out his eyes, but opened those of his constitu
ents. And since then he has never been able
to find another bramble bush that possessed
the magic power of scratching his eyes open
again, and those of other people shut. But
whatever recommendations of agrarianism,
confiscation, or negro-worship these meu
possess, they are utterly outdone by the
superior claims of the hero and inarty of the
war.
Lastly, the famous removal is especially
beneficial to the nation, as it forces Grant into
the candidacy for Presiden', in self-defense.
He has committed the unpardonable sin; he
haa warred against the Holy Ghost of the
radical religion; he has set himself up against
its high priests for him the furnace is seven
times heated. For him it is Presidency or
private life. He must either whip the blacks
of the North as he did the whites of the
South, by outflanking their batteries, or they
will destroy him. His cat has a long tail,
but they will cat it off; his longest tail
is his Generalship. The law creating
this grade the radicals are already talking
of repealing, and if the post of honor is
the private station, our famous captain will
soon occupy that post if he does not take
refuge in the White House. War, bitter
war, is his dole from this time forth. The
tocsin has sounded, and already the trumpets
call to horse, and the footmen are whisper
ing scandals, the horsemen are prepariug
political charges, and the artillerists are
loading their heavy guns with the paper
pellets that kill in time of peace.

pated these doubts, and given him a still
stronger hold upon the confidence of the
people. The vast majority at the North has
been disgusted with the conduct of the Repub
licans, and dreaded whither their ideas were
leading us. We were threatened with
second Ilayti below Mason and Dixon's line;
the fairest provinces of our country were in
danger ot being converted, into a wilderness,
and ignorance was being given a command
that the utmost intelligence is required to
manage wisely. At this juncture, when we
were sick of treason at the South and fanati
cism at the North, the General who won a vie
tory that had thrice been attempted in vain,
stepped forward and grasped the helm of
state, my this act the people, satisued that
he will again restore our fortune and give us a
Union such as we fought for, feel that he has
proved his fitness for the Presidency, and to
that office they will elevate him at the next
election. For all these benefits we have to
thank Andrew Johnson. Surely we ought to
be ever gratetui.
