McClure to-day called upon General Grant and presented let'.ers from Judges Williams aud Aenew, of Pennsylvania, siaticg mat in consideration ot the coming campaign of the Republican party in that State, tbey ccnsideied it ot the utmost importance that the Cabinet member from Pennsylvania snouid oe uovtmor uurtin, as ne had the entire conbdeuco of the Henublican Party of Pennsvl- vauia. lie exniaiiica to lien era! (irant tbat Jiidtre uuams was to be the Ucnub ican can didaie tor tupreme Judge this tall, aud be had been informed that a letter from Governor Geniy, who was to be the Republican candidate lor Governor, was en route to him making tbe same recommendation. He added that htf simply desired to present to him this exDression ot tbe men whose opinions should have weight. as they asked nothing for themselves, but all tor the good otitic party that was to 00 next fall in I'ci nsjlvania his administration patty. Mr. iicuiure says: GENERAL GRANT REPLIED. "Of course I am denrous that the adminis tration candidates should be elected next tall, but I cannot see why tbey are to make tuv Cabinet appointments lor the next four years." Colonel filcllure says be made uuotuer remark. tbat though not directly aimed at Governor Curtln. and wbicn 1 shall uot repeat, "entirely satisfied me that Governor Curiin would not be appointed." Colouel McClure then remarked to General brant: "I accept your determination not to appoint Governor Curtiu. I have merely done my duty in presenting his name to your consideration as tbe lavorlteot Pennsylvania; out now, General, after what you have said I feel at liberty, without tear of any imputation of personal bias, to urge a policy upon your administration, aud 1 appeal to von to appoint any tair represeuta tlve ot the Republican party to a place iu your Cabinet. I do not suggest to you Mr. Curtin or any othrr man. but I venture to appeal to you not to give the place to one of the class of men understood to be included in the list which, it is stated, you will make your selection liom. I mean men of tbe type of Geerae H. Stuart, Adolph Bone. Mr. Welsh. and Aubrey II. Smith. I beg jou not to make your appointments irom tuai cinss 01 men. They are eminent aud worthy geutlemen, but they have no sympathy whatever with the active Republicans ol the State. They have no knowledge of our people, and the appointment ot sny oue ot tnem, and tne disposal 01 the patronage of the State by ttrem, would cause the utter ruin of the party in the cjmiug canvass." This, he says, (ieueial Grant took up rather warmly, and replica: "I cannot see how any man could object to tbe appointment of such a man as George II. Stuart; a man who d.d so much to suslaiu the loi al cause durtutr tbe war." . Colonel McClure replied: 'I have been a pood nanny years in active politics, and I say to you frauklv that 1 do not know bim at all iu political life, aud I am sure tbat there are not rive thousaudof the sixty thousand Uepubl c ins 01 I'Liiiuieipnia who know him, auaffyomy Know mru asa man 01 bi irueics ch iracter.who lspov,eileos as a man to vitalize a party. I nominate no one, but ask you not to give up one wlo will help to keen the Sta'e 011 the loyal side;" to which Colonel McClure quotes General Giant as replying: "I urn not the representative of a political parly mjeelf, although a party voted for me." MVE CABINETS EiSlBH TUAN ONP. Aniorg his other calleis were some gentlemen from New York city, who want to press Edwards l'ier ont for Attoruey-Geueral. General Grant replu d: ''You cannot say anything, gpntlemen, in which I will not concur abuut Mr. pierpout. uud I find I could make Uve Cabinetseaier than one." This Is supposed by some of those who wire present to indicate that he will not call upon Mr. Piei pont. aud to-night Cabinet makers arc more puzzled than ever to know whoaie upi'n "the Hate."
