Mr. Stewart to bo Secretary of tho Treasury,
when ft Federal Btatuto forbade such an ap
pointment. Stumbling thus and falling, he
colled on Congress to pick him up aud set
Him on m ieei again uy repealing tho statute
tvliich ho was violating.
He has stumbled and fallen again over his
ignorance. His order to Marshal Harlow to
hold the prisonor l'ratt "at any cost" disclosed
that ignorance in all its proportions. Had
(jongross been in Hossion, doubtless that body
would have been invoked to set tho President
on his legs again by an net conforming tho
law to his ignorance, and ordaining that an
ofteuHO committod in tho United States can
lie tried elsowhoro than in the district where
committed, or if committed on tho high seas,
elsewhere than in the port or district into
which the prisoner is first brought. Whether
lurr or Grant most disgraced us might then
bo left to the decision of a military commis
sion. lut (kmgrosa was not in session to bo
called on to back up Grant and set him on
Lis logs again, and so ho has had to bo con
tent with the performance of that service by
district Attorney Tierrepont and United
Stales Commissioner Osborne. They have
done it with spectacular effect.
Tho plea of- District Attorney Fierropont
Was a farce, decorously performod, wo must
tidmit; tho whole trial before United States
Commissioner Osborno was a sham, and, as in
most mock trials, the business was a little
overdone by tho presiding officer. Tho pur
pose of tho sham was to conceal from general
observation that President Grant had again
stumbled and was prostrate, waiting to be set
Up again for our homage in the chair of state.
For District Attorney Fierrepont must have
known, from tho beginning of tho Fratt
business to the (Imoucmciit into which he
conducted it so ingeniously and as piously
as if ho had been a son of Noah; and
United States Commissioner Osborne must
have learned over Sunday, if no earlier,
under the tuition of the Chambers street
stage manager, that nn offense committed
in the United States can bo tried only in the
district where committed. Tho reason of
the law is to prevent the Government from
marching a prisoner about to select a district
favorable to a conviction. Hut tho warrant of
the Commissioner affirmed that Pratt's of
fenses were all done in the district or State of
Texas. In his Sunday-schooling, Commis
sioner Osborne was doubtless informed that
those offenses were therefore triable in that
State or district, and nowhere else in this
Solar system. He was doubtless instructed,
also, that no commissioner, magistrate, judge,
or court in New York had the legal right to
ihitiutc the arrest of Pratt; that the
starting point was Texas, and tho proper
manner of proceeding was for tho
United States to procure nn indictment
against the accused in that State, and on it
demand his extradition from the Governor of
New York; that on the extradition the sole
inquiry would be the identity of the person
charged in the indictment with the person
sought to be removed. Stage-Manager Fier
repont, moreover, before putting tho court
through its rehearsals, must have had to disclose
to Osborne not only his own blunders, but
also the blunders of tho military noodles at
Texas and in Washington, who, instead of
his alleged offense, who has no rmrmimil
knowledge thereof except heresay, which is
not competent evidence, yet thereupon makes
a complaint and gets from Osborne tho war
rant, perhaps promising him more evidence
on the examination, but certainly ottering no
legal proof and no evidence but what went
to show that Osborne liad no jurisdiction over
the oft'ense even if committed by Pratt.
There must have been a dress rehearsal
Osborne went through the last act of this
spectacular drama so glibly. Wo can fancy
District Attorney, or rather Director, Pierre
pout bringing the court into a proper docility
by informing Mr. Osborne that, whatever his
name, grade, or rank in the system of Fede
ral judicature nay, not even though he were
Justice Nelson himself in his robes and his
lion's mane, instead of being endowed with a
quite different apparel and authority, had he
rightful power in the premises to arrest and
hold Pratt; and, as the court resisted and
Cited Booth's case and the decision therein of
Chief Justice Taney, doubtless the index fin
ger of tho manager arose, and Mr. Osborne
was taught that, us against the jurisdiction of
a State judge issuing a writ of habeas corpus
to bring Pratt before him, it was preposterous
to allege that for preventing inquiry whether,
under the Federal laws, admitting the guilt of
tho accused to be as laid, he (Osborne) had
any jurisdiction; and, if none, then his war
rant to Harlow conveyed to him no authority
or protection.
We hear the exasperated stage manager
Baying: "Suppose it admitted that you were
not a commissioner when you issued tho war
rant, is a State judge prevented by tho ghost
of Taney from taking notice of thut admis
sion ? Suppose it admitted on all sides that,
Leing a commissioner for this district, you
liave no jurisdiction over tho case of this
murderer of Texas, must u State judge shut
his eyes to the admission; and what difference
can he know between want of jurisdiction
admitted or want of jurisdiction proved in
contestably V Of course, had Congress clearly
given you jurisdiction in words, a State judge
ought "not to divest that jurisdiction upon the
ground that the words were unconstitutional."
When the Managing Director had his pupil
Sufficiently humbled, he doubtless then dis
closed to him how much safer for him it was,
and how essential to the disordered dignity
of Grant it was, that the Court should go on,
instead of retreating, and proceed to exercise
the jurisdiction that it had usurped.
One dress-rehearsal of this sham, along
with the consciousness that he was contribu
ting to rescue the President from a position
worse even than that of Harlow environed
with artillery in his public and his most pri
vate business, probably sufficed for tho
United States Commissioner. The declama
tion may have been a little overdone whore
lie said "that the prisoner was legally in his
jurisdiction without a doubt, and were the
same information furnished to him again he
would issue another warrant, aud do it re
peatedly;" but something is to be forgiven
to these amateur theatricals, and we must re
member thut to save his superior's dignity it
Was necessary to sacrifice nil his own.
After District Attorney we beg pardon
ifter Mr. Miuiagiuti Diwfutor Piorrepout hud
pui suing mo above-mentioned customary and
legal course, sent a detective after Pratt, who
fiii'ds him in New York, eicrht months nftnr
delivered his carefully irrelevant eloquence,
and had declared, with an energy which would
have done credit to Forrest in "Jack Cado,"
that "tho debate commenced at Fort Sumter
in ISO and closed at Appomattox Court
House in lSd.V' was now the supreme law in
nny question of Federal or State jurisdiction;
and niter he had gone through his part of
presenting a witness who swore to nothing in
point, and papers which ho regretted were in
admissible as evidence, and telegrnphic des
patches of which tho court could take no cog
nizance, the way was handsomely prepared
for tho Commissioner and tho cue given.
The Court did not forget its part; jurisdic
tion was claimed and exercised for the pur
pose of letting tho Texan murderer go free:
and the sncrifico of law, personal honor, and
of the dignity nnd repute of a court being
thus complete, in tho background appeared
the upright ligure of President Grant, sittiug
in reconstructed dignity in his chair of state,
with only a little dirt upon his clothes where
ho had fallen, slowly ascending amid the blaze
of Hengal lights hold aloft by Harlow. Jackson,
and Purdy, and with tho United Stntes Dis
trict Attorney and the United States Commis
sioner lifting up their shiniug faces and
crying, "Saved at any cost."
THE GENERAL MUDDLE AMONG THE
POLITICIANS.
From the X Y. Ilcrald.
It will not bo surprising if, from tho pre
sent general muddle among the politicians,
parties, nnd factions of the day, we shall have
a scrub race, and a very nmusing scrub race,
too, for tho Presidential succession. Tho
Democracy of tho North nro all adrift, tho
Northern Republicans are wrnugling over the
split in tho party down South, while the
Southern Democracy en hwsxc, leaders and
followers, from Vircinia to Tuvna lmv
joined the liberal Southern Republicans in n
l lilt - - 1 .
oigunizauon on universal suffrage
(negroes nnd all) and a General nolitienl nm.
nesty. At the same time in the North, from
Massachusetts to Kansas, the temperance
people are organizing for independent action
in behalf of the suppression of whisky, while
tho women's rights women ni .mrinn
heaven and earth in the cause of woman su
frage, nnd the labor leogues, numbering their
members by hundreds of thousands, are in
evitably tending to a new political movement
as a balance of power between the two pivnt
parties of tho day, in national aud local
minus.
It appears, furthermore, that while Genernl
Grant may be considered as a candidate for
another term, there is at least one member of
his Cabinet tho Secretary of the Treasury
who aspires to tho regular Hepublicau nomi
nation in 1S72. Judge Lewis Dent, a candi
date for the new Southern liberal pnrty for
Governor of Mississippi, in a pungent letter
on tho subject, flatly says to Mr. Houtwell,
"You aim to be the next President: in the
pursuit of your ambition you are ungrateful
and unscrupulous; you have denounced the
Southern conservative liepublicans who are
for Grant, that you may obtain the proscrip
tive Hepublicaiis who are for Houtwell, and
by some strange, dexterous management nnd
occult political strategy you have so worked
upon the confidence of the President as to
cause him to llourish the club with which you
intend to break his head. lv inducing him to
join you in denunciation of the conservative
Republicans, created by his magnanimity and
triumphant through his encouragement." In
other words, in cutting this new Southern
party, Grant, according to Dent, has been
taken in nnd done for by Houtwell.
It will be remembered, however, that
Chase, as Lincoln's Secretary of the Trea
sury, played a much bolder game for the
succession than anything that has yet ap
peared from Houtwell, but that in the nomi
nating convention Lincoln walked over the
course, and Chase was nowhere. Just as
easily may President Grant, if now a candi
date, supplant his Secretary of the Treasury.
It was done with an effort on the part of
Lincoln, and can bo done without an effort
on the part of Grant, even after giving his
Secretary all the rope he may desire. This
intermeddling of Mr. Houtwell, however, in
Southern politics, has been bad in every way,
and in any event is no longer wanted; and
he will have quite enough to do hereafter
in attending to the business of his depart
ment.
According to Judge Dent the Southern con
servatives of Virginia and Tennessee are
much indebted to Houtwell for their decisive
victories. If so, tho Chief Justice is no doubt
thankful; for, ns it appears, he is looking to
this new party to lift him a step higher. It is
given out that Mr. Chase, soon after tho Vir
ginia election, wrote a letter (they always
begin by writing letters) to a prominent poli
tician of Tennessee, an old friend of his,
wkerein he expressed much gratification at
the defeat of the bitter-enders in Virginia and
rejoiced over the success of the conservatives;
that he was hopeful of similar results in Ten
nessee, Mississippi, and Texas, and strongly
hinted that in his opinion the Hepublicau
party had served its day, nnd that tho time
was nt hand when a new conservative party
should be formed, embracing the moderate
men of all existing parties. This was a very
good idea a year or two ngo, but now the
question of tho reshaping of our political
parties for the succession is in the hands of
General Grant. His first six months in office
signify nothing towards the settlement of this
question. On all the great issues of tho day
ho has the whole field still before him, and
upon tho measures and results of his adminis
tration during the next three years the ques
tion of the succession will be determined.
Mr. Chase, therefore, is too early in tho
field with his new party. In the progress of
events it may wield tho balance of power be
tween the two older parties of the country,
or it may bo absorbed between them. Re
jected by tho Northern Democracy aud repu
diated by tho administration, the chances of
this third party are somewhat dubious, and
so nro the chances of Mr. Chase. He has
been unfortunate as a pilgrim for tho White
House. Ho had reason to be hopeful from
his first experiment ns n Republican in lsiid;
but he showed his hand too soon in lsiil,
aud too soon for the Tammany Democratic
Convention of lstis. Those 'old Copper
heads could not understand his brilliant
transformation, though Greeley seemed to
understand it and admire it. It may bo thut
Greeley is still an admirer of Mr. Chase.
He certainly displays a remarkable leaning to
this new Southern party. At all events, wo
apprehend that Mr. Chase is too early in the
lield with his third party, nnd that, done for
with tho Republican party, his association
this new movement will' only servo to
finish him among tho Northern Democracy.
It was a shrewd remark of old Colonel Dick
Johnson, that tho Presidency is neither to bo
sought nor declined; and he who is too hot
upon the trail is sure to be thrown off. There
may be n chance for the Chief Justice in a
scrub race, nud if General Grant perseveres
in doing nothing wo may have a scrub race
for tho succession open to nil comers. Tho
whole question is in the hand of General
Grant.
THE MORMON QUESTION.
From the A'. Y. Tribune.
Tho patience with which decent tieonlo
, have listened to the stories of despotism nnd
I license at Salt Lake City for some time past
was founded, we dare say, in a great measure
upon tho conviction that, before the flood of
light which tho opening of the Pacific Rail
road would pour into tho dominions of Rrig
hatu Young, the dark superstitions of tho
Latter Doy Saints must speedity break away.
Tho road is open, and already the conflict
has begun. There is yet no direct rail com
munication with tho Mormon capital, but
there soon will bo ; and meanwhile the
locomotive traverses the whole breadth of
the Territory of Utah, nnd stations nnd
"Gentile" settlements nro springing up all
along its path. It seems impossible that
polygamy and absolutism should long with
stand tho great steam civilizer; but Hrigham
Young fights hard for his supremacy, and even
the Gentiles of Salt Lake City doubt whether
he will not succeed in keeping it. Tho
corner-stone of his system is popular ignorance,
and the safeguard of ignoronce is isolation.
A year ngo, therefore, ho began a crusade for
tho purpose of drividg out the Gentile
merchants and shopkeepers, forbidding his
people to have nny dealings with them: but
the laws of trade were stronger than sermons,
nnd tho prophet's commands were never faith
fully obeyed. A few months ngo Hrigham
tried nnother expedient. This was nothing
else than tho conversion of all the trade of
the city into ono grand co-operativo enter
prise, in which of course none but Mormons
were to share. Tho scheme took the form of
a revelation, and was instantly put into prac
tice. Individual traders turned their stock
into tho general concern most of them of
course losing money by tho operation and
the organization opened its grocery, dry goods,
and hardware shops, all over tho settlements.
It is too soon yet to judge of the success of
the undertaking; but trade is flowing fast
into the new channel, and competition is
rigidly suppressed. Private persons may sell
goods as much as they please, but they must
not sell for less than tho co-operative shops.
Tho success of this plan would do more
than anything elso could do to drive Gentiles
out of the Territory and probing Hrigham 's
lease of power: but we must not forget that
the danger to Mormouisni is not only in asso
ciation with a more enlightened population,
but in the dissemination of intelligence
among the Mormons themselves. The rail
road may not brins in shonkeeners: but
nothing can prevent its introducing books
and newspapers. Our correspondent well re
marks that "even the trashiest of vellow
covered novels are dangerous enemies to
Mornionism; and, when the literature of the
day is easily procurable, ns it is already in
Utah, isolation is nt nn end. Put these
people face to face with the opinions of man-
Kinu, onng mem into sympathy with
the progress of the rest of the world, nnd
they will no longer feel that they are set
apart irom an me race, nnd can submit to a
tyranny or revel in n loathsome practice at
which civilized nations lift up their hands in
horror. Perhaps it is upon the women that
the book, tho newspaper, the magazine, will
have the quickest effect; and so the first
modifications of the Mormon tyranny will
spring irom tueir resistance, let, even with
the destruction of the prophet's supremacy,
which we can hardly think far distant, a sud
den overthrow of polygamy cannot be ex
pected. Tho man who has two wives is n
slave bound forever to tho Mormon systom.
IIo cannot leave tho Territory, and be cannot
leave the Church. lie must bear
for life the burden of superstition
which ho has taken upon his shoulders.
With the woman it is still worse. If she cuts
herself loose from the creed which she may
have learned to hate, every respectable door
is closed against her, and life is shameful and
hopeless. The saints, we suppose, must
dwindle away where they are, nud Mornion
ism must die out rather than break to pieces.
Hut the despotism of Rrigham's government
cannot long survive the influence of the rail
road; nnd when that goes the new Generation
of believers will grow up with thoughts and
customs very diff erent from those of their
ancestors. Mormonism then will cease to
be disgusting, though it may not become
rational.
THE PRESIDENT NO MAN'S MASTER.
From the A'. Y. Sim.
Judge Lewis Dent, brother-in-law of Presi
dent Grant, and candidate for Governor of
Mississippi, doesn't like Secretary Houtwell,
and hns written a letter to abuse him. This
is nil right. Mr. Houtwell is a statesman, a
patriot, nnd an honest man. Dent is an ad
venturer looking for anything to turn up, and
anxious to run for Governor of Mississippi
under false pretenses, claiming to be a Repub
lican when he has never been anything but a
Democrat. Hut Judge Dent is not merely a
dishonest politician: he is a flunkey, and we
might even say a fool. His language to Mr.
Houtwell is such as only a flunkey could em
ploy. "Your organ, the New Y'ork Suit," he
says, "in tho same breath ridicules the capa
city of your master, and dwells with emphasis
upon your peculiar fitness for his oilice.
Mr. Dent is slightly mistaken when ho calls
the Sun the organ of the Secretary of the
Treasury, but this isn't of much consequence.
Indeed, we feel ourselves rather llattered by
Dent's assertion. What we want is an honest
nnd high-minded ndministration of tho Gov
ernment. We desire most ardently to see the
Executive Department raised out of tho im
potence and disrepute to which it hns been re
duced. Wo hate and denounce the system of
bestowing office in return for presents, aud
appointing to important places men like Au
gustus Ford, who cannot hold their commis
sions a moment except in defiance of tho law.
We desire to Bee the United States stand forth
before tho world as tho champion of republi
can idens, nnd the friend of every people that
rise against slavery and oppression, as the peo
ple of Cuba have done. This is our programme,
and if it is Mr. Houtwell's also, we nro glad of
it; and tho Sun, will always zealously co
operate with him or nny other leader who is
bold enough nnd firm enough to stand by
these ideas in these days of donation-party
politics, corrupt bestowal of office, nnd
shameful truckling to European diplomacy.
Hut what does Mr. Dent mean when ho calls
General Grant tho master of the Secretary of
the Treasury? Does he suppose that tho
sycophancy which ho may naturally feel to
wards the great bostower of office is shared
by the public at largo ? Does he imagine that
other men are flunkeys bocause he is one Y
Or would he force into tho relations of the
President and his Cabinet that spirit of slavish
submission nud plantation insolence which
the Rebels who propose to use him in Missis
sippi always cultivated before tho war, aud
ove to gratify now? He ought to understand
that the President of tho United States is no
U1"? " V,lfiKter- 1Ie is ft servant of the people,
and will bo held to a rigorous account for his
stewardship. Hut he is not the master of a
single citizen; and even tho snobs and flun
keys who are anxious to black his boots, in
the hope that ho will give them offices, will
uvt vwu thut liQ is, thou- waster. Uwt, of oXL
is ho the master of a Htntesmnn liko Mr. Hout
well, whose successful management of the
Treasury Department constitutes n green and
cheering oasis in the desert of this ndminis
tration. It has been suggested that it would be
lucky for (iencral Grant if his brothers-in-law
could nil be struck by lightning. If such
nn event is to happen nt nil, it would bo nn
advantage to tho General if tho lightning
would be very prompt nnd very effectual in
the case of Judge Dent.
MR. PENDLETON'S STRONG POINT.
From the A'. Y. 2'imen.
The Democratic candidate for the Gover
norship of Ohio is alleged by his partisan
friends to be sound and consistent on the
currency question. Wo are told that, "as a
statesman nnd a political economist," ho is
pre-eminently pledged "to restore specio pay
ments nnd to make a hard-money currency
tho sole legal-tender." For this service, it
is said, "George P. Hendleton is the man."
And, by way of evidence, reference is made
to his persistent opposition to greenbacks
nnd tho legislation which preceded their issue.
In a certain sense Mr. Pendleton is un
doubtedly consistent. When tho creation of
a currency was a necessity of tho war, it en
countered no more strenuous opponent than
the gentleman whom tho Ohio Democracy
have selected for their standard-bearer. His
nim then was to break down the credit of tho
Government, and so render tho further
prosecution of tho war impossible, nud ho
endeavored to accomplish his object by
assailing and depreciating tho nation's cur
rency. Pursuing the same policy, Mr. rendlelon
has since the war lost no opportunity of
doing what ho could to impair tho national
credit. He makes a direct attack upon it when
ho proposes to violate the contract entered
into with tho public treditor, and to redeem
in greenbacks obligations made payable in
gold. Mr. Pendleton's policy is a policy of
repudiation, the more promulgation of which
was injurious, and tho adoption of which
would bo absolutely ruinous to tho credit of
the Government.
Mr. Pendleton's consistency, then, is tho
consistency of a man whoso sympathy with
li-i ..it: 1 , a. J
mo xveoeuiou led mm to oppose measures
employed to suppress it: and whose hostility
to the authority established by the war mani
fests itself in antagonism to tho financial sys
tern which contributed to the Union triumph
It is not improbable that this kind of consist
ency recommended him to the State Demo
cratic Committee that nominated him. Wo
do not believe, however, that it is a consist
ency which will secure the favor of a State that
owes tho proudest chapter in its angels to
ns part in resisting enemies of whom Mr
Pendleton was the scarcely disguised apo
logist.
Apart from the uniformity of his course as
an enemy ot the public credit, Mr. Pendleton
is grossly inconsistent. As a hard-money
Democrat he might be suunoscd to ilrir tii.
early resumption of specio payments. As tho
author nnd chief advocato of a scheme for
paying tho five-twenties in greenbacks, ho
noes vnai ne can it postpone resumption in
definitely.
The Pendleton scheme involves further
issues of greenbacks. Its friends protest
Kuut iub imputation mat these further
issues would be unlimited. Hut Mr. Fondle
ton himself has confessed that mm
backs will be required for the nffniiiiiii.nt .if
his object, nnd in no other manner would it
do attainable. In addition to repudiation,
therefore, he would inflict upon tho countrv
a renewal of inflation, of which the inevitable
enect would he to consign specie payments
io a remote nnci uncertain luture.
