FIRST EDITION The New Members-Sketches cf Secretaries Fish, Bjut well, and Haw I Ins, Secretary Eoutwcli's ltocord and Speeches tn the Financial Question. THE STATE DEP VU r HEJi ft 74wnllton rimb, the Hcrlry of Mte, A a son cf tho late Colonel Nicholas Fish, and w9 born in New York city during ttie year IP09, and is now about sixty jcars oi aiie. From nne maternal fide be la doccn led from Peter Hujvesaut, the lat Dutch Governor ol New Amotenitini. It will thns be seen that Mr. Fish descends from a distinguished family and cones oi tbe pood old Knickerbocker stock. Ilia education was obtained at Columbia Collene, where he pradnated with distinction. After leaving collie ho studied law, aod in 1830 was admitted to the bar, bat did not practise his profestion tor any length o time, the manage ment of a very lare family esta'.e monopolizing tbe greater part of bis time and attention. Being a Tnan ot wealth, he had no occasion to viork for a livelihood, so, after a brief period, be abandoned the law altogether, and has never since warned it. In 1837 the new Secretary first appeared as a politician, bclnt; then elected by tbe Whig parly as a member of the fctate Legislature, and as such. gained much reputation and popularity among bis constituency, to whom he had been previously known only as a rich, respectable man. His bucccss as a local legislator influ enced tbe Whips et New o k to nominate him in 1842 for Representative in Congress from tbe Sixth district, which was then composed of the Eleventh, Twelfth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and Seventeenth wards of New York. Although the district had given Van Buren a msjotity of nearly 1000 in 1840, Mr. Fish, atter an exciting contest, wa elected, the vote Ktandinar Fish (Whig), 6904; McKean (Democrat), 6699. In 1844, after serving with distinction, in Con gress, bis claims to a re-election were ignored, and Mr. William W. Campbell, tue native American or Know Nothing caudida'e. received tbe Whig vote, exceptiug tome 486, which "Were cast for Mr. Fish, who ran as an inde pendent candidate. His p -lineal career bod ' not ended, however, in 1846 be was nominated tor the oflice of Lieutenant-Governor, but was defeated, running heavily behind his ticket, although Mr. Young, the Whig nomioee for Governor, was elected by a majoiity of 11,672. In 1847, however, be had better luck, being elected Lieutenant-Governor by 30,000 majority, tin 1848 be wns tbe nominee of the Whig party for Governor, fcnd the same split in tbe Demo cratic party which r-ave the electoral vote of the State to Presldeut Taylor elected him. In 18)1 be was elected a Senator in Congress, serving until 1867, when bis term expired. 8ince then be has held no office, having. In fact, ro tired fxcm political life about thai time. Boon after the formation or the Republican -Jjarty Mr. Fisk allied himself to it as a voter, and throughout tbe Rebellion aided tbe Gov ernment In a private capacity in asserting the integrity of the Onion. He gave largely of his means to tecure this end, and responded liberally to the calls made upon alt patriotic citizens to provide for our tick and wounded soldiers. In 1862 be was notified by telegraph that President Llncolu bad appointed him and Bishop Ames CommUstouers to go within the Confederate lines and look after the comfort of our prleones, and to establish a basis of ex change. He replied forthwith by telegraph, accepting the responsible position, and at the earliest moment entered nnon its dutie. Although the OomnriisHiouers were refused ad mission inside tbe Rebel lines, they nevertbelcs arranged a cartel of excuauge, which was observed for some time, and which secured tho release of hundreds ol biave men lrom Rebel dungeons. During the contest between ex President . JohLsou and Congress he symuathized with the latter, but took no public part against the President. Although decidedly Republican in politics, he is very moderate and even-minded in bis views, and not at all liable to be led away by partisan leelings. Mr. Fish Is a gentleman or tine abilities and strict integrity of character. He is exceedingly mild, urbane, arid polished in bis manner, possesses a tine figure, and is gif:ed with posters of persua.-ion tn a high iieeree. He has travelled considerably m Eur pe and other Darts of the world, and h is cuietully studied the political ideas of foreign nations, which last qualification will aid him to no small extent in performing the delicate duties of bis new office. During tbe past few years Mr. Fish has bt?en a warm Irioud and ardent admirer of General Grant,. and aided to the rx'eut of his ability in securing his election. The cores of a large estate have prevented Mr. Kith taking an active part in national politics, but he is known to entertain very decided opinions on all points of public Interest, and that his opinion are gene rally In accord with those of IV"?ident Grant. THE TBKASUuTlKI,AKTMENr. Ueorir S. lioutwll,iiie Secretary or the Treannry , was born in Brookline, Nor oiic county, January :2l, .1818. llis.early years were pnsed on a farm, ttud it was expected by his parents that be would eventually become a farmer. Circum stances conspired, ho ever, to prevent this, and yeong boutwell became a merchant's clerk In tUroton. He served a thorough apprenticeship in commercial pursuits and lor some time was ecgaeed iu'busiuees for b.nitt'lf. During twenty years be wns moderately successful, at the end of which time be gave up hit tuiine-s and com mmced tbe study of tbe law, avti when admitted to practice at tbe bnr fouud hluuolf the Junior juaclitlonerainouB much youuer men. Taking a decpinteie-tiu political matter hi: was elected to tbe fctate Legislature in 1812, where be crved continuously for seven tears. In 1851 be was elected Governor of the Scute, and in 1853 was a member of tbe Massachusetts Constitu tional Convention. For eleven j ears he held the responsible position of S-'cre ury of the State ' lioard of Kducation, and for nearly the same length of time was one of the overseers of Har vard College. He was a lucmtxr of the Peaco Coherence of leGl. in Jaly, ls62.be was ap pointed Commirsiouer of Internal Revenue, aud was charged with tbe creranlza'ion of that de partment, in 1803 be wa rl-ced to Congress, and was immedia'ely nrs'itr- od to duty upou several of tbemott Important committees in the House, among them the Committee on the Judiciary. He baa been re-elected successively to each Congress sinoa that time. Air. Boutwell bas b-en K-neially roeoinlaod as one I the ablest men in the Ilou-e a fluent, Jmprestive debater and u coiisineutioua worker His studious habits throughout his long public career enabled him to oveicoine tbe lack of early education. He osesd a thoroughly d sclplined mind, and a memory which treainr up fuels and data, aud to an extent th ,i bai recdered him one of the most forxnld tUe oppo nents on the fljor of the House. He was an esrnest topporterof Mr. L'ncola's admlnUtr. tion, and warmly defended the enancipttion proclamation and the enlistment of colored penoua during tbe war. When President Johnson was btoiiebt to trial, charged witD high crimes and misdemeanors, Givcruor Boutwell wu selected as ono of the impeach. merit manngers, and was one of tbe moat deter Iklxwd o those who iimicted upon U coovtc tion and removal of that officer. He wm also, at that tune, a member of the Commttt je on Reconstruction, and is responsible, to a ereat extent, tor tbe reconstruction policy adooted by Congress, as opposed to that of President Johnson, having been the Chairman of that committee since the death of Tuaddeus Steven". In adO tton to his public duties Mr. Boutwell has found time to wtlte several books of value, and is the author of a "Manual of the School yst-m and ti hool Laws of Massachusetts," tduoational Topics and Institutions," "A MhuuhI of tly Revenue System." and a recently published volume of "Speeches on Recon struction." 1118 FINANCIAL VIEWS. Mr. Tloutweli's views on financial matters am very well ?e. for h in the (olio ving extract lrom a speech made by bin last fall in the MdMiacriu tetts Republican State Convention: 'We do not propoo to tolerate, sunction, or permit an lsuc of demand noles, payahle in coin, to bo exchanged for the time bonds of the UE.i-.ed States. We Intend to limit, and if necessary, to diminish gradually, the volume of paper money uutil it approximates in value to tbe standard of coin. We intend that there thall be one currency for the bondholder, tbe meicbant. tbe farmer, the pensioner, and the laborer. That curreucy shall be of the value ofpold. Wlen this Is done, the public debt will be paid as the resources of the country may permit, and to the eatislattion of those who pay and thote who receive. When the credit ol the couutry is restored, as It will be by the single fact of the electiou of General Grant, we can issue bouds, ).aj able after ten or twenty jears, bearing a lower rate of lutereat, and thus save annually the sum of twenty or thirty mil lions ot dollars. But, first of all, as a menus of restoring tbe pnblio credit, the people must dispel by their votes the apprehension ot na tional dishonesty in tbe public finance. Tue Republican party knows to policy in finance but honestv." Tbe question of the funding of thenaMoual debt being before the House July 21, 18C8, Mr. Boutwell introduced a substitute for the Senate bill and the bill renorted to the House from tbe Committee of the Whole. Tbe latter provided lor tbe funding of tbe entire interet-b3aring public debt, amounting to $2,150,000,000, all of it payable in coin upon forty years' time, and at three and sixty-five hundredths per cent, rate of interest. Mr. Boutwell said : The amendment to which I wish to call the attention of the House provides for the funding ot $1,21 0.C0P.000 ol tbe public debt, $400,000,000 pavabic in ntteen years at nve per cent, interest, $100,000,000 payable in twenty years at four and a halt per cent, interest, and $100 000,000 pay able In twenty-five years at three and sixty-live hundredths per cent. Interest; the latter sum ot $400,000,000 payable, piincipal aud interest, at the option of the taker, either in the United States or at London, Paris, or Frankfort. When we consider the rapid development of the resources ot this country, its Increase of population, and the augmentaticn of wealth, there is no huzard in tbe prediction that our exceFB of revenue to be aopiied to the liquida tion of the public debt will Dot be less in any future year than tt will be in the present year. ow, sir, a nation is distinguished from indi viduals in its financial atfairs in the particular I am now considering. If an individual owes a debt thr-e, five, or ten years hence, and has money which he could now aoply to that debt, if it be not iu the terms of the contract that he shall pay it immediately, he may use that money in various other pursuits, in business, in enterprises, or even hazards, and pay his debt when it matures. But a government is dif ferently situated. Unless it be absolute poverty in the national treasury, I know of no condi tion ot things more disadvantageous to public credit than the possession of large funds in the treasury without any present means of using thote funds in a legitimate and proper way. Sir, this debt looks pretty laigc, but it is a fmall debt for this country, wheu you consider that we paid $1,000,000,000 in less than three j ears. What is to be tald ot the $2,000,CO0,O00 remaining? Why. sir, when the war ot 1812 closed onr public debt was $127,000,(jOO. That docs not look large to us. but it was as heavy a debt for the seven millions of people 1n the United States at that time, considering that a daj's labor would not produce more than thirty-three per cent, in gold ot what it will produce now, as the $2,000,000 000 ot debt is to the people ot the country at the present time. lob ect to tbe sale of gold. It we require the Secretary ot the Treasury to advertlao that he will be ready at any time to pay the interest ou the debt next to become due, the public credit ors t. Paling the interest on the payments which he makes to them, there will always be oppor tunity for those who own coupons or those who cbooto to command tbe gold that Is iu the Treasury: and at any rate tbe amount which he advertises that he will pay upon demanJ, is to much gold uron the markets oi tha coun try. The difference between this proposition and the proposition to sell gold is, that we pay out gold wbete it is to be paid, and relieve o ir felves of Interest becoming duo next Octoo;;r, next November, or next January, and also im prove tbe credit of tbe country. Coupled with that is a provision prohibiting ull sales ot gold by the Secretary of tho Treasury. I need not make any sugeestinrs to this House, in tbe way of reasons or arguments in favor of taking from tbe Secretary a power which, if hones ly exer cised, can never be productive of any good wbat'oevrr. (Mr. Randall of Pennsylvania asked Mr. Boutwell If be believed the Five twunty bonds were payable in gold.) 1 wlil state exactly what Is my opinion on that subject. When we issued .V00,000,000 of Hvetwentles, we stipulated to tho public creditors that the United States notes known as gteex backs should never be issued iu excoss of four hundred million. That was the tirst stipulation. The tecond stipulation was that we would not compel payment und-r five jesrs; but there was a stipulation over and above tbe law, inherent in the very nature ot society, iu the expe rience and tradition of all mankind, that every nation in its senses, actuated by an honest pur pose, it. when struggling with vicissitude, it was obliged to resort to loroed loans, an extra ordinary means of raising money, by which its credit was in paired and its securities are forc-d below the rar value of gold, that such a nation should make every honest effort ro;sible for the resumption of specie payments and the restora tion of its puolic credit. That obligation rests upon u. Now, if according to the terms of tbe act of 1864 it does not appear beyond all civil that we might not pay tuese b iud in green backs, in tbe same act it does appear that we shall never ls-uo inor) tbau $400,003,000 ot greenbacks. HIE WAK IKlMKI'iUKXr. Geaertal Jobu A. ltswllim, the Secretary ol War, was born in Jo Daviess countv, Illinois, on the 13th ot February, 1831. By the paternal tido he is descended from a family ot Virginians that removed Into Missoutl, where bis lather married. Tbe sobject of this sKetch received acoiumou f cbool and academic edec ition, aud uutil nearly tweuty-tbree years of age lived ou a (arm and was engaged in agricultural pursuit. In Nove tuber, 1853, he entered the law olliee of J. P. Stevens, of Galena, where ho male tho acquaintance of Prrghiuut Grant. Iu October, 1864. he was ada itted to tb bar, aud opening an office, comiueuced tbe practice of his pro fession, 'n w hich, although be did not make a fortune, be may be said to bave been tolerably snccessiul. Although General Ratlins bell no public ofhees prior to tbe war, he was knowu in Galena as sn active, induentlitl, and able Democratic p Tticlun. He was nominated in 1800 tor tbe oflice of Demecravta elector on the Douglas ticket for the K:rst Congressional ' dis'rlct ot Illinois. Boon after tho Confederate forces tired upon Fort Sumter a large public meeting was held at Galena by be Republicans aud War Damoorats, at which President, then Mf Grant presided and Geavrol Rawlins spoke. The action of Grant caused no surprise, as he was then unknown, and bis views one way or the other made but little diflerence. Tbe case was different with Rawlins, however. He was widely known as a Democrat, and In his soeeches had bitterly de nounced tbe Rcpublicai.s. His decoration in tavcr of coercive measures wss all tbe more surprising from lh" fact ihat at the tine tho gteat leader of his wing of the Denoratl'3 party, Senator Douglas, had not jet made kuotvn his intended antlon. In Augut. 1861. at tho special request of then Brigadier General U. V. Grant, be recjlvel the appointment of Atsfs'ant Adjutaut General, with tbe rank of Captain, and was assigaed to that officer. At this tima Mr. Rawlins w-s H oken of as the Msjor ot the famous 46th Illi nois Volunteers, otherwise knr.wu as th-? Lead Mine Regiment; and the first inti naMou ho ha t of bis appointment was through the newspa pers, aid immediately after through an or ler from General Grant asslffulng him to duty. The order was dated Seplember8, 1801. From that time up to tbo present he has been con tlii u ally at the side ot General Grant, aui accompanied him In all his campaigns, the landmarks of which are the buttles of Belmont, Fort Henrv, Fort Donelson, Hhlloh, Curtnia, Iuka, the TaHahachie expedition to Uxtord, Mississippi, Port G.bson, Raymond, Jackson, Cbauipion's H'l', Big Black, the crownietr vic tory of Vicksburg, Chattanooga, the Wilder ness, North Anna Pamuukey, T)loooatomoy, Cold Harbor, and the front of Petersburg and Kichmtnd. At Culpepcr Court House, Va., General Giant presented General Rawlins wl.h a satb, with tbe following no e: Thin sasli-worn by main all my btttlns n1 can pulmi lr m sod Including th battle ol Hslmo:illo arid Including the ep. lire ot Vlcks'mrg, July 4 Iki ir prtfienled by m to Brif adler-Geuerat John A, ItHwIins. mv vli'er of stall.

In the line of promotion Cnn'aln Rawlius was made major Feoruary 16, 1862, and brinadier general ol volunteers Augmt 11, 1863. Ho was first appointed rbirf of staff to General Graut iu November, 1802, aud has held that position, either by full rank or acting, ever since. The special enactment of Congress creating the oflice of rhief of staff to Lieutenant-General Grant confers upon General Rawlins, who has been sppointed to the poeltion, the status of a brigadier trereral of tbe regular army. Ou March B, lHtfi, General Rawlins was conlrmed by the United States Senate as brevet major general of volunteers, to date from February 24, 1803. Comment or Hie Blew York Pres ou the Sew I'abluat. The New York Times briefly sketches tbe qualities ot the new appointees thus: The changes which have been made will strengthen the political element ia the compo sition of the Cabinet, and will, in that re-pect at least, leuder it more satisfactory to the coun try. Mr. Boutwell lacks the practical business experience and habits which Mr. Stewart would have brought to tbe duties of the oflice, aud the fuith of the country in his ability to accom plish Lcedlul reforms in that department of tbe public service will be tomewhat less. But he is a thoroughly honest and capable inau, and will lend no more countenance or toleration to abuses which demoralize the administration of tbe Government, while they d inluish the public revenue, than would Mr. Stewart him self. He is a politician of strong and earnest conviction?, always maintained with frankness and courage, and will not, wo imagine, Ignore party considerations in the administration of tbe Treasury Department. Though not as open an opponent ol the principle of protection as i Mr. Stewart, he is by no means so zealous a trie nd ot thut doctrine as muuy ot its supporters desire. Governor Fish will make an able, dignified, elective, and popular Secretary ot State, aud will conduct our foreign relations without os tentation, but with firmness aud practical gcJ s '.me. His political experience, which has been extensive, will be of service to the admin istration, to which his moderation of temper, and avoidtince ot extremes in ao'iou and iu eea timent will prove an additional recommenda tion. Tbe change in the War Department is rather in name than in principle or policy. General Rawlins Is an officer of the army, and is also a man of marked Intellectual ability, of gn at executive talent, and thoroughly familiar with the current of public affairs. The Cabinet is Mronger in roauy ways than it was at first; and its completion, so promptly effected in the midst of the rather remirkable ttifiicultios it encountered at the ou'set, augurs well for tbe efficiency and success of the new administration. The New York lribvne f&ye editorially: This is a strong and sate Cabinet, and will prove harmonious and efficient. We do not pronounce it abler than the origlual cast, yet it will not suffer by compr nson even with thut. There ia not a man in it who sought his posi tion, nor one who has not acoeptetl cheerfully, in full resolve to do his work heartily. Pos e.bly Mr. Hoar may hereafter withdraw, be cause there is another member from Massachu setts; yet, in the abser.ee of a better reason fordoing so, we trust there will be no has to in tbe premises. Everyone Is nova thorough Republican, though General Rawlins wa for merly a Douerlas Democrat. Mr. Boutwell, ( rigically a Democrat, was chosen Governor of Massachusetts by a coalition of tbe Democratic and Free Soil parties, and has been a Republi can ever 6ince the party was organized, lbe administration is now perfectej aud ready to go to work, Tho New York Heraii likes the new oftl;er, and believes that they will give streuglh to tbe policy of the administration. It closes quite a long editorial as follows: General Grant has evidently labored in his appointments to secure competent and devo'.ed assistants in his ada-inistratioj, and to avoid at the same time a quarrel with Congress or its ruling politicians. He has certainly, in the reconstrurtiou ol his Cabinet, made to Mr. bonnier a fair bid for the repeal of the Tenure cf office law, aud It is probable that the repeal will now be carried. Tho temptation on the part of the Senate to retain this law Is still veiy strong, as the law gives to ibo Senate the next thing to absolute power over the spoils. But the House has made this discovery, and, impatient for a voice in the distribution of tbo offices, is becoming anxious for the repeal. But whatever may be doue with this obnoxious Tenure-of Office law, we may be sure that when General Giaut begins to get thoroughly int) his retrenchments and reforms we shall have oUcords and mutinies, and clashing cliques, and hostile factions breaking out in the Repub lican camp in the general scramble for the spoils. Tie New York Wor'd growls out its dissatis faction in a two columu edttori'tl. It savs: lbe absurd Cabinet hret constructed by Piesldent Grant having toppled straightway Into ruins and nearly buried him beneath tbe dtbris, be has succeeded, after a week of uncer tainty and excitement (in which he has been a spectacle to men and a wonder to i ohticims), in clearing away some of the rubbish, and, by using some of tbe old and intro iucintr some new materials, he has completed a process of recon struction which wo wlil attempt to judge with candor." It then proceeds to sketch tho qualities of the new officers, aud judges of their ao lity to per form the woik as. igned them. It likes Fish, but is down on Boutwell, and savs that the appointment of Rawlin. behijr simply a mark of lavor, Is "beneath the dignity oi discussion." Stock Qnotatlona by Telegraph 1 P.

Harris, tbe Thcmastown murderer, will be executed to-day. He begins to realize his teinblo poaitlou, aui spent the greater portion of yetterday with the clergymen. He bas made statements to them which as yet they decline to divulge; but while realizing his proximity to death, he does not seem to feel the enormity of his crime, an I it is thought he will faco the king of terrors with much physical courage. It was not uutil Satur day last, when Warden Rice informed him of the action of the Legislature upon the Capital Punishment bill, tbat Harris gave up all hope. Up to tbat time he had apparently taken great pride in exhibiting himself, but he then ex preseed a desire to be removed to a more retired cell, and to see no visitors except the clergy men. His wishes were promptly acquiesced in and have been rigidly observed not even tbe Irrepressible newspaper man has succeeded in gaining an interview. Harris will be executed upon tbe same scaffold upon which Cox and Williams were hung at Auburn' some years ago, and on which Spencer paid tho penalty of mur dering tbe Prison Warden a year or two ago. The execution will be as private a9 possible; no one but the twelve witnesses provided by law bclpg allowed to be present, with the ex. ception of the reporters.
