The Meeting of tbe Two Soldiers.
BBTT-Fca hochb' oonTereatioa with oar
feUow-oUiiens of Philadelphia, and ft qalet
night's rest, hare enabled as to Bee eren more
Jearly than we could yesterday the true atti
tuto ot Lieutenant Alexander K. MoClare's
mission to Washington. With the withdrawal
of the clouda whioh enTeloped the ambassador
camel a more and more vivid ploture of unpa
ralleled impertinenoe. Itoannotbe disputed,
ren by the friends of that gentleman, that
Captain MoClure, in going to Washington as
the representative of Pennsylvania, committed
at least a slight breach of common sense. If he
Joes represent any one, we may ftek, who is it?
What section does he hail from? Chambersbarg
was, indeed, onoe the repository of his massive
form and intellect, bat for reasons best known
to himself and his late townsmen, he gathered
bis little all together, transformed his residenoe
into a seminary, and tamed carpet-bagger.
He has come to Philadelphia Does he repre
sent us? Not that we know of. Ills sole
claim to represent oar olty is based on less
than ft year's residence among as, and on
that ground he tells General Grant that
sot five thousand out of the sixty thou
sand Republicans of Philadelphia
know Mr. George H. Stuart. We would like to
know how many of the sixty thousand know
even the name of Major MoClure, except in
oonneotlon with the tonnage tax discussion
some six years ago; and does that endear
him to their memory ? Does the loss to the
State of some $700,000 justly due authorize
one of the advocates of the loss to call himself a
representative Pennsylvanian? Having thus
shown that Lieutenant-Colonel MoClure, like
Mahomet's coffin, is entitled to no location on
terra Jirma, let as look at the persons he
claimed to represent. They were three:
Ex-Governor Cartin, Governor Geary,
and Judge Williams. We yesterday expressed
oar views frankly on the somewhat presump
tions claim that these three, or any three,
gentlemen could self-oonstitute themselves the
organs of ft great State. So far time has
elapsed only to hear from one. Governor
Geary has spoken. Says Colonel MoClure
"General Geary has sent a despatoh asking for
the appointment of Governor Curtin, and has
written a letter, whioh Is now en route."
Says Governor Geary:
F.XHomvE Ohambkr, Harbisbuko, Feb.
16, im.To General U. 13. Uian , fremde fu
eled, Wae&ingtoa. P. O ait: By the tawi-
Eapera of lo day X observe tbat. certain peraom

any other person one word In favor of or ugalujt.
any one lor that position. yon have rcoeivcd
any trusKtettert or telegram, they arc Jorge iet.
"Truly yours, John W. Gbaby."
Sot sot Brevet Brigadier-General MoClure,
have you ever read Mrs. Opie's excellent work
on white and blaok lies ? If yon have, under
whioh head would you place your assertion of
Governor Geary's position and your repre
sentation of him f . Would the people not be
justified in putting your assertions, so far as
the Governor's attitude is concerned, among
the ebony-colored utterances ? We are glad
of the prompt denial on the part of Governor
Geary, as he thus cancelled the invidious re
flections whioh the whole community' were
making on the course whioh he was alleged to
have followed. Thus ene of the three oonstku
ents of the ambassador departs. We next ex
pect to hear that Judge Williams also has
sever written a line, and, finally, that Gover
or Cartin himself did not authorize any such
exhibition as that made by Brigadier-General
McClure. In fact, the whole conversation
on the part of the "representative Pennsyl
yanian" rem mas us oi the man wno was
accused of having stated that he had a Iro
therewith one eye, living In California. When
, examined, however, there were a few errors
found. The man in question had no brother
living in California, he had no brother with
' bat one eye, and, finally, he never had any
brotnerwun one eye or two. We tremble
when we think how much Brevet Major
General wcuiure nas piagarlxed from the
anecdote quoted.
Bat oat of the bitter can come forth the
. sweet, and there is a moral even in the mis
sion to Washington. When a man stalks Into
the Executive presence, proclaims himself
representative, fails to produoe his creden
tials, attempts to overawe by playing a game
of Huff, swells and struts, and darkly
threatens, do not be surprised if the Executive
tarns sharply on him, eyes him calmly, and
orders him oat. Saoh things have been done
in the past, and let it be a warning to any
future Major-General MoClure to be careful,
irtt of his language, teeorui of his credentials,
and thirdly'-begging pardon for oar Igno
'" rauoe of his military career of his title.
. Two More Denial.
Johtaswego to press we are Authorized to
state that neither Judge Williams nor Judge
Agnew has written suoh letters as Colonel
MoClare alleged in his interview with General
Orant. Ther were applied to for tbelr ea
dorsement of the scheme of Curtin, McClure

of the Interior De
partment, nas decided that certain articles (.
- Ivixserlj belonging to George WLiigtoa-r. .
Including pieoes of household furniture, art!,
oles of clothing, dishes, and papers whlrfh
were removed by the Government from Ar
lington House, shall be returned to Robert K.
Lee, who owned the property previous te tat
war. Terhaps there is no way in whioh thU
saorilege oan be prevented; but, if possible,
these relics should certainly not be permitted
to return to the possession of the leader of the
Rebel armies.
The Metropolitan Pol lee mil.
It is to be hoped that Senator Ilemzey will
now retire from the polios business, ani that
of legislation in general, and return to his first
loves, the camera and other photographie
paraphernalia. By his downright stupidity,
and reckless disregard of the tights and wishes
of his constituents, he has brought the Metro
politan Police project into such disrepute, that
even the bill which reoeived the endorsement
of the whole Philadelphia delegation on the
so-called Republican side of the Legislature
sustained yesterday an ignominious defeat in
the Senate. The rote stood 20 nays to 11
yea?, the votes of six Republican Senators
being included among the former. We
have already analysed the defeated
bill, and see no oause to regret its fate. Bat
there is certainly cause for regret in the fact
that the defeat of this bill will tend to render
impossible during the present session of the
Legislature the passage of a wise, praotioable,
and nnpartlsan Metropolitan Polloe bill, whioh
the necessities of this community so impera
tively demand. As Mr. Henszey has mani
festly reached the limit of hiaresoaroes in this
direction, we trust that he will strain himself
nomore, but withdraw from the business, in
order that some man possessing an ordinary
amount of common sense, and ft deoent regard
for the wishes of the people if saoh mau is
included on the rolls of either house may
frame and present suoh a bill as will command
the votes of ft majority of both houses, and
give satisfaction to the people of Philadelphia
when it shall become a law.
Tbe Nil lira go Amendment.
Boih houses of Congress have at last passed,
by the requisite two-thirds' vote, a joint reso
lution proposing an amendment to the Con.
stitution, whioh simply declares that "the
right of the citizens of the United States te
vote shall not be denied or abridged by the
United States, or by any State, on aooount of
race, color, or previous condition of servi
tude." This was the form assumed by the
proposed amendment after it passed through
the hands of the oommittee of
conference, who took the liberty of striking
oat all reference to the right to hold oifioe
although there was originally no disagree
ment npon that point between the two houses.
Several Republican Senators denounced this
aotlon of the conference oommittee, but they
all, with the single exception of Mr. Fowler of
Tennessee, voted for the proposition in its
amended form, evidently through fear that
nothing better could be gained before the two
thirds' vote in the House of Representatives
vanishes with the 4th of Maroh.
The position of those npon whom will de.
volve the task of seouring the ratification of
three-fourths of the State Legislatures has
certainly been weakened by the exclusion of
the right to hold office from the proposed
amendment. As it now stands, it is simply
a half-way measure of justice, and half-way
measures of all sorts are not calculated to
seoure the hearty and zealous support of men
who demand the full measure of right.
Tbe Grand Jnry Present men t.
YKhTEr.DAT the Grand Jury made a final pre
sentment for the term, and called the atten
tion of the Court to various.Bnbjeots that have
come under their observation as being worthy
of the earnest consideration of the authorities.
The crowded condition of the County Prison,
the Almshouse, and the Penitentiary are
standing sources of complaint. The Grand
Jury state that the condition and management
of these institutions are worthy of all praise,
eo far as the circumstances will
allow. In the County Prison,
however, the untried department contains 350
persons, who are huddled into 105 oells, while
in the department of convicts 308 prisoners
were confined in 106 oells. The most serious
apprehensions are felt lest some epidemic
should break out in the prison, and the very
Imperfect ventilation of the cells is in the
highest degree injurious to the health of the
prisoners. The Grand Jury state that 400
new oells are absolutely necessary. In the
Penitentiary there are also too few cells for
tne number or prisoners, ana it is conse
quently impossible to strictly enforce the dis
cipline of the prison.
With regard to the Almshouse, the Grand
Jury suggest that the paupers might wkh
advantage be organized into regular manu
facturing forces, so as to benefit their health,
and better prepare them for outdoor work
and usefulness. The neoesslty for a House
of Correction for the relief of the Almshouse
ana tit County Prison is urged, as it has
been repeatedly, and it is to be hoped that
sufficient interest in this important subject
will before long be aroused to give us such
an institution.
The Grand Jury complain of the freuuencv
of frivolous proseoutions for the gratification of
petty malice, and they think that some means
should be devised te prevent the committing
magistrates from sending all manner of petty
casts to the Court. Attention is called to the
condition of Bedford street and its vicinity, as
well as tbe condition of the streets of the olty
in general, which are spoken of as offensive1 to
decency and law, and the report pertinently
states that "it is an outrage that the health of
the whole community should be thus
endangered by the action of the elements
upon the accumulation of filth in the high
ways, merely because of the street cleaner's
indolence, and that official should be allowed
to go unpunished." .
It 1 KQommendsd, sal w isp llie resoai-
mendation will be eon ear red in, that the in
spection of the oounty bridges, the large fac
tories, railway crossing, and the otty streets
be Inoluded ia the loops of the Grand Jary's
duties, so that the safety and welfare of tra
vellers, operatives, and the oilixens generally
may be looked after in a proper manner.
Th SpRAKBHsniP. It is eald that Repre
eentative Dawes, of Massachusetts, withdrew
from the ooutest for the Speakership of the
House because he could not oonsent to be a
party to the bargninlog for influential posi
tions on the committees whioh was demanded
of him before he oould seoure the requisite
support. If this be the motive whioh
aotuated Mr. Dawes In withdrawing his name
from the oontest, it does klm infinite oredit
as a man and a legislator. The "bargain and
corruption cry" whioh was raised against
John Quinoy Adams when he rewarded Hanry
Clay with a Cabinet position in return for the
latter's support, is applloable to the disposi
tion of almost every ofuoeby appointment in
the publio service of the present day. Gene
ral Grant promises to set his faoe against the
system, and Mr. Dawes loses nothing in the
estimation of the people by following his
example.
Tub New Yoik olty Demooraoy are seriously
disturbed by the recent aotlon of Recorder
Haokelt in meting out snoh exemplary justice
to the gang of desperadoes convicted in the
court over whioh he presides. The supre
macy of Tammany Hall has been placed in
jeopardy by this lack of consideration for the
feelings of the rank and file of the party.
Hence a formidable combination, said to em
brace the leading men of the Demooraoy, has
been formed, with the view of "crushing out"
Recorder Hackett before he suoceels in
''imoliIrifT A.ifH ... .... .AM.nn..l.U -jf..
. "--'Q vw m IBI wuoiuoiauiu tJl null
of the Demooratio pirty by distributing it
among the different reformatory institutions
of the State.
John C. Bukckinridob Is said to have de
clared to some of his Washington friends that
he would regard his nomination by the Ken
tucky Democrats for the Governorship of that
State as "injudicious." Ia this respect Mr.
Breckinridge agrees with a majority of the
people of the United States. As the Kentucky
Democracy has not yet been reconstructed, it
is not to be supposed that they will take the
same view of the subject. Doubtless they
-would, to a man, be willing to part with an
ear for the sake of voting for and eleoting the
arch-traitor to the chief magistracy ef the
State. If they are not permitted to do so, it
will be beoause Breckinridge's common sense
did not forsake him when his regard for a
solemn oath ef allegiance did.
