In connection with the chief Federal offices In
Hew York citj. In addition to the namps
ready mentioned for Naval Officer ol New
Yerk Is that of General James Watson Webb,
who has come to the conclusion that diplomacy
Is nut a paving institution after all. Thesla'e
for Pennsjlvanla Is more neatly complete than
that lor any other 8tate, but It re.
mains to be seen whether the delega
tion can agree among themselves. Toe
majority of the members of the Howe from
Pennsylvania are opposed to the Collector of
Customs, J. N. Marks, who was appointed by
Johnson, aud confirmed Just before the close of
the last Congress. Cameron, however, Is his
friend, and he announces his determination of
keeping him In at all hazard. Dr. Wtlmer
Wortbtngton, a member of the State Senate, Is
set down for Surveyor of the Port. W. J. P.
White, an old Whig, who was Postmaster of
Philadelphia under General Taylor, Is the only
prominentcandidate tor Assistant Doited 8 ates
Tieasnrer at Philadelphia. The director,
chip of the Mint has been tendered to
ex Governor Pollock. Mr. Binebam is to re
main Postmaster of Philadelphia. General
Baxter, who is an old soldier, ts not to be ali
tor bed In the position ol Naval officer at Phila
delphia, which he now hold."). There Is a lively
con test going on for the fat office ot United
States Marshal tor the Eastern district of Penn
sylvania. Forney is urging the claims of a
cousin of his, named flporge Lautnan, a whisky
merchant of Philadelphia; John A. Hiestaud,
of Lancaster, is alto named. He Is Came
ron's man, and is supported by Senator
Scott, besides having a larxe majority of the
members from the eastern section of the State
on bts papers. The Pennsylvania delegation
bold another caucus to-morrow, for the purpose
of hearing the report of the committee ap
pointed at the first caucus to wait upon the
President and ascertain to what extent he
w old allow Republican members ot the dele-
? ration in Cone reus to control the appointments

an Interview, during which the Congressman
asked General Grant if it were true that he
would consult no one on anv of the aopotnt
xnents. The President seemed happy to have the
opportunity to state 'ha, the stories to that
eflect were untrue. He said that he had so tar
made bat very few appointment, aud because

choice, the story alluded to had arisen. He had
esta-iltbhed a rystera govemiug app intment.
to whici he Intends strictly to adhere. All
aopPcatioDs for office must come to him through
lis Herretsrlee: their endorsement will receive
first attention. He prefers that they select tnelr
own men. He will hold them responsible, and
consequently he wishes them 10 have every
advantaee in the selection of their subordinates.
He thinks that the Congressmen should be
consul' ed, as they are the proper persons to
judee if the wants of their respec'ive localities,
hut by consultation be dues not mean that
Congressman shall dio'-ate to and command
him.
President Grant Called on to Break the
Mt a of Politicians.
from the Piltiburg Commercial.
It is something to know that Grant realizes
that months ago the offices were parcelled out
so at to put up one enque aud their lolljwers
and put down anotner and tueir followers. The
people rely on him to break up this sort of thing.
mi noihins will do It so effectually as steering
V' 'clear ol cliques ai.d rings entirely, and selecting
for the oinces souna ana cspaoie uepuoiican
outside ot the combinations that are striving to
secure the offices as political rewards, the epe
ciat a m ess ot particular persons f r the sta.ious
assigned to them in the ullntnaent being about
tie last thing thought of. The business of
making "slate.," otherwise apportion nir
the offices, has been going cm for tome time.
Tnese slates President Grant and his Cabinet at e
exoected to ratify at sight, but we hope and
believe they will d nothing.ot the kind. It is
tiiia sort ot thing that has robbed the Treasury
of two hundred miilious ot the internal reve
nue annually lor the lat three years; aud if
perpetuated will oeteattne policy loresbadowed
fo the inaugural. We feel certain that our ne n
President Is fully determined to break up this
system; aud we venture to tell him that, to tit
as Pennsylvania is concerned, the only way to
do It Is to, adopt the same course in
tiling tb offices from bgh to low,
that be followed in selec lng his Cab.net.
Let blm break every t-la e that Is pre
bemed to him. and take timetoQnd good and
1rue a en for the officen. outride ot tbee. combi
nations. A revenue officer, who is at the name
time the leader or instrument of a clique, hi
plenty of dances to be blina io evasions aid
oelibera'e robberies; aud too frequently is blind
because to be soarp-oigb ed wo il l injure the
party or disatistr some influeniial leader wuoae
friendship must be retained, la hw many
hufunces it It retained an I a clique saved ironi
Ulury at t"e exteiise of the public trea-ury, to
f tie can tell, but we do kmw tha', not less thau
tobonird mili'ocs o' oo iar are auouaiiy
stoleu In this and kindred wavs.
The people are expi-cuug to see Presilent
Grant eradicate this sort ot thin?, root and
ptauch. It Is t r this reason tbtt they applaud
so warmly the independent course be has pur
sued In seiecuns bis Cab net. Tuey want to see
him breakeveiysia e and til th offices with true
iirpuol caus, wnoe sole object mil lie to collect
every dollar due to the Government,
and will permit not a colUr to be
stolen. To do this tb re w li be no occasion
for going outside of the R'-oubl.cio partv.
JIreioore, to a great ex tnt the better
n en f the party have been excluded irom o(
c al sta lorn by the cliques. Id fict, in Peunl.
vsu'a it ess been reduced to -uch a system 1'iat
none but the faiiutul have had 'be shadow of a
c isnce. Thetav r of a teleader4 bas ben
a-solutely essebtlal to enable a man to obtain
even the smallest office; hDdtiie whole s?swra
hi hen so corrupting that iboe win should
hold the offices, a a geteral thing have felt

TEE EX-PRESIDENT.
ht Will lie Do Mlth UlmseUln Ten
nessee T
A letter from Chattanooga to the Cincinnati
Commercial contains tbe Mlowiuir:
It Is nw definitely ascertained that A. J. will
not. go to Europe lor the rretent, but will re
turn to b s old borne at Oreenvilie, tbe last of
this wertt or the first of nesf. At least his
fr ends at that pi nt are makirg preparations to
receive him about that time. "A'ter that,
what V Why, about three speeches a day duriag
tbe commit summer. The talk about bis
being president of a prospective radroad, and
going to Europe to negotiate botds, is, un
doubtedly, alipammon, tor that sort ot employ
ment does not agree with his natural testes. At
president of a railroad he could not revenue
ilmt-eli lor tbe abuse heaped upou him ny
Erownlow and Stokes and a host of radical
politicians In this B'ate. To be sure, be iuigu
reiue to deadhead them over his roil, but
that would not be the revenue tbat he likes.
His great forte Is to get uo be ore a thou aud
or two of people, and expuvs h i private
op nion ot men and measures in plain hnplt!);
and that he will do, bo soou as lie becomes
ietted, tf we may believe those who have go
eround for knowinir. Whether he isacaudi
date or not will make very l ttle ditloienre; he
will, undoubtedly, take the slump, and speak in
nearly every county In tbe State during tup
coming summer, aud the remit will be seen io
the August election. Witii the militia, blah
taxation and a forty million debt to rarry. poor
Stokes will bavo to face tbe lion under adver-e
circumstances; and if we may judee the
future bv the past, Billy will come out pretty
well used up, lor tbe "oldest inhabitauta" say
that Andy never stumped the S'ate without
leaving his competitor about two-tfiirds dead at
tbe end of tbe race. But, in old Whig and
Democrat times, they did not have franchise
laws, test oaths, and like modern imprve
ments. But, with Brownlow gone, Stokes
whipped out. aud Jobuon roaming at will
from one end of tbe Sta e to the other, tbe
franchise law will have to be strong, or it will
fail to hold him.
GREELEY.
What ttyo Trlbnne Philosopher Says ot
Female NufIriK.
In a recent lectnre at Providence, R. I.,
Horace Greeley is reported to have raid:
In dealing with the shrill demand that all tbe
political dUaDilities of womanhood be aboUehed.
so that women shall vote and be voted for at
elections, precisely as men are, I legard this as
pre-eminently a question to be decided by
women. Women have not participated at the
ballot box or on the tented held, because they
have cboen, and, I think, wisely chosen, nrt to
do so. When the women of this entire free
country shall desire to vote, the day of tbe en
forcement is not tar distant. If every woman
in the republio were required at this boar to
say, each for herself. Will you accept and exer
cise the right of suttraga wltn tbe re
suiting right to be choson to and ho'd
office, on condition that you be drawn to
serve on juries, summoned to the aid ot the
sheriff in cases of exigency, warned o it tor
training, and drafted out to fieht indiscrimi
nately with nienf I do not believe that one
woman in a hundred would sincerely answer
yes. And this is the fair, practical way of pat
ting tbe question. The right of suffrage is not
properly a native privilege, but a high public
trust; a trust which involves high and weighty
obligations. It would not be lair nor juat that
a woman should vote to go into a desperate,
bloody war, and then require the men alone to
fight us out of it. Sbe may not be allowed to
assume a sicgle function and exclude all the
othets. For my own part, having been a
oer for thirty-reven ears, accepting the
right ot suffrage as a high public trust, to
be exercised tor tbe beueat or the entiie
community, and after d'fcuareirg that
trust as well as my limited capacity would
allow, I am entirely willing to relinquish it
whenever 1 e a 11 receive an honorable dis
charge Irom the service. If tbe women of our
country tay, wiih substantial unanimity, we
will assume the reins of government, believing
that we can luie better than you men, I. a
weary, needy, dilapidated politician, worn o n
in the strife aod in tbe toil of elections, would
gladly step out and enjov tbe quiet ot dome. If
all ot you are going to tbe polls, somebody will
be wanted to May at home and mind the chil
dren.. I shall ot course make some blunders at
first, but be patient with me, aod I shall live
end lea'D. If I were to couns"! the wemen In
the pre m see. I would adve tnem to try the
experiment or voune on a moaerate scale. .
The Indian Policy.
The New York Uerata'a Washington writer
say Br
ibe name of Colonel Parker, formerly of
General Grant's staff, bas been frejueu ly men
tioned in cont ec iou wltn the omce or uommis
sioner ot Indian Allans. Iu reply to a Wes.ern
Senatut, who was urging Parkers appoiLtment,
the President said that there was bat one obsta
cle in tbe way, aDd that was that Colonel
Parker, t eing an Indian, was not a citizen of tbe
united Matt e, ana on that account lie doubted
bis eligibility tor tbe otbee. He added that be
bad got into one scrape about appointing a man
who was ineiigitiie to an olnce (A. I. Stewart),
and he did not propose to repeat the mistake.
Gtneral Sanborn, a member of the Indian Peace
t'oo. mission, and a mau who bas had considera
ble experience among the Indians, is being
presi-ed tor Commissioner ol Indian Adairs. He
is violently opposed, however, by the Senators
from tbe extreme West, who urge tiraot to ap
pt lit a man who has bad no previous connec
tion with the Indiaus orthe Indian Department.
The President has informed these Senators that
it is bis purpose as Iar as he can to make a
-thorough reicrm iu tbe matiaaemeut of Indian
affairs. He says tbat his own exper eucaas
well as the united testimouy or Geuerul Suer
mau and Slier dun has couviLced him tbat a
radical change ought, to be made in tua lcdlau
poiicy ot the Government.

short space of time the bargain waa coucdide I,
and on a cerfaiu day the bonds were to be de
livered to the man (whose name Is withheld, as
be is not a member ot ihe d-itectlve force). At
the hour named, Captain Young, who, in the
meantime, had told Detective James Irving that
it was more than probable tbat be mieut need
his services, accompanied by tbat officer, pro
ceeded down town to the locality named. On
the way down Isaac Ed all, an acquaintance ot
Ca(.taiu Young, who bas been on mauy occasions
employed by the latter, was met, and invited to
accompany them, which ne consented to do.
Tse thieves were completely surprised, De
fective Irvii.g leaping through a window and
tciztng the arm ol one ot the men, who bad
drawn a pistol. The door was at the same
moment dashed in bv Captain Young and Ed
sail, and, a'ter a brief struggle, the mn were
secured. The plau had succeeded to perfection.
In the pos-ess'on of tbe men were found
$99,500 worth of negotiable bonds. Tne thieves
were taken to Police headquarters, locked up,
aid in a day or two afterwards sent on to Car
roll county, the bonds restored to the bank
officers, and as a rewrrd Captan Young
ieceived the sum of $16 000. A portion of
Ibis was given by Captain Youn to persons
who had aded bm in worklug upiheca-e.
Captain Young says he bad promised Irving
$100, without knowing really what the case
would prove to be, but on ascertaining tne ex
tent of tbe reward offered blm $500. This the
latter refused, declaring tbat he was enitled to
n ore ot tbe reward. Captain Young replied
tbat as Irving bad not bad anything to do with
work ng up tbe cafe. $500 was certainly a fair
price tor about two hours' work.
Irving mil declined to receive the amount,
and tbe matter was referred to tne Board oi
Police Commissioners. Captain Young declared
positively that be would not aive up aav more
ot tbe reward; that be bad individually worked
up the case, aud bad merely railed on Irving to
aid him in seconne the mn after the plot was
ripe for execution. He argued that he could
eas iy nave caned to bis assistance two or three
officers from tbe nelghborins police station, who
would have answered his purpose full as well.
On Hat ui day, the Police Commissioners
reached their bnal decision, which was that
Captain Young should turn over to them all
moneys received by him since January 1. This
Cap' ain Young refused to do, and bas accord'
ingly made out bts resignation, and will to day
hand it in to tbe Police Commissioners. It will
undoubtedly be accented. Capum Younr has
for several years past" been at the head of the
detective force ot the Metropolian Police, and
bas worked no many imporiaut cases, promi
