AND THE CAW, Some six or eight days ago r •ner. al Grant declared his intention GI nominate one member of his Caldne4 from Pennsylvania, butgavellft mation as to whom be should select. ',He said the tit - airman Intended for the Department of the Interior would probably bens much surprised many one when his name is announced.— The President assured over-urgent politicians, that the person he should appoint "is and has been a Ropubli, can from the first; and this'. think," continued tlis'Ehmeral, "will be sat isfactory to you aIL" As soon ea the above facts became 'generally known In Washington-4 which was in an incredibly short time—some of the " rule-oz‘rninf Members of the Republican pautil among whom was Cot WClture; of -- repaired Immedi ately to Grant's HeadiprarUse and peremptorily' demanded to know if Ex-Gov. Curtin was the man: _ They were distinctly informed that, "he waa not the man." Col. lerChue at once, assuming to speak for - thci great Republican party of Penneyl4, vaxda; told the President elect that be should " appoint a representativopol itician," and that Geo. H. Stuart, of Philadelphia, whom it was rumored Grant intended to appolot, was of one; that Pennsylvania would bo carried against the.Republiam party at thoGtibernatorial election next fall, If ho were nominated, etc. Grant re plied that, While he had never ina mated an Intention of appointing Mr. Stuart, he thought the objection un= sound. He [Grant] "was not a rep , : resentative although he had been elected by a political party. Mr. Stuart was a sound Republican, and had rendered good servicoduring the war. We entertain a high opinion of the eminent abliitke and patriotism of 11x1,tov. Qutin, and deeply . regret ha should have permitted Ids mine to be preseated to General Grant by those who only wished him in the Cabinet that they might use him to promote private_end selfish ends at the expense of the general welfare. Ho may now feelingly exclaim, "God save me from my Mendel" If be had ever had any show for a Cabinet appointment, he would have lost it in the course . pursued by the NClure party. Gen. Grant is not the man to -be pushed from hhiconelusiens by the impertinence of self-opinionated and arrogant politicians; and we are gratified that he took the first oppor tunity to repel such polltiad arro gance and preenimption, while we deeply sympathise in the disappoint ment of Ex-Gov. Curtin. We regret that Col. 2.l l Clure should have denounced Mr. Stuart, in the tuassici the RePublicasparty, qualified ter a Boat in the Cabinet. It was Injudicious, injurious, unwar ranted. We venture; the assertion . that a great majority of thepooplo of this State would hail the nomination of Mr. Stuart---were there any Moll .. hood of it—with feelings of grateful addiction. He is a man pt treat ability, enutildrood Sid'Uberalphi• ianthropy, and was ruarenritthag In his efforts, as head of the , Sanitary Commission of this State, in p rom ot; lug the comfbil of our slcV and dine, Ned aoldie.riduring the late wax, inni has always acted with the Becuubli. can party, The course ot4hb faction, while it misrepresents the ibelingsof , the pasty, la c a lculated to injure it at home and &brow].
