EOtNSBURC. PA., FRIDAY. - - - MAY 15, 1885. It used to be said of office holders that "none die and few resign," but scores of Postmas'ers are now daily flee ing before the approaching storm and forwarding their farewells to Washing ton with promptness and dispatch. TnE vote by which the joint resolu tion proposing an amendment to the Constitution abolishing the poll tax qualification was defeated in the House at Harrisburz early last weefc, was sub sequently reconsidered, and the bill pas sed finally by a Tote of 107 yeas, to 32 nays. John B. Larkix, the new Demo cratic Tostmaster at Pittsburg, will taXe possession of the office some day i week. It is said that he had the tp j'. voluminous recommendation that T Cleveland has received for appoint t to office from any part of the try. Is the sudden death of Judge Mat thew J. McCafTerty at Boston last week, Ben Butler lost one ot the warmest and most devoted of his friends in Massa chusetts. He was Butler's candidate for Governor of the State at the last .November election. Butler made his acquaintance when he was a poor fac tory boy in Lowell, paid his way through the college of the Holy Cross in Wor cester, assisted him in preparing him self for admission to the bar, and ap pointed him judge soon after he (Butler) became Governor of the State. The judge was a delegate-at-Iarge to the Chicago Democratic Convention last summer, and politically speaking, he had jumped all the fences that But ler has. Their friendship for each oth er was like that of Damon and Pythias. There is ri3 man in the country whose opinions in regard to Mr. Cleve land's administration are entitled to more weight, than those of Judge Wil liam S. llolman. the veteran Democrat ic Congressman from Indiana. He be lieves the administration is moving suf ficiently fast with relation to the offi ces, and that any one who would have matters hurried thinks more of person al interests than of the public welfare. "This is a big Government," he says, "and a great many things have to be corsidered before any move is made. An improper appointment is a public calamity, and it is better to move slow ly. It is much more important that good appointments should be made than to bother about whether or not this or that rnan is allowed to retain his office a few months. It is only a question of a few months, and this delay is for best public interest." Ox yesterday week the House at Har risburg amended the Senate resolution for the Goal adjournment of the Legis lature on the 2Stb of May, by substitu ting the 12. h of Juue. It is believed that the Senate will concur in the changed date, which will extend the ses siou eight days beyoud ooe hundred and fifty, for which extra time the members will have to stay at Harrisburg without receiving any pay. How men with any Reuse of shame can go to Harrisburg and insult the people who sent them there.by consuming five months and eight days in p.tssing the few laws that are really necessary, is hard to comprehend. There is no kind of doubt, however, that if the daily pay went on until the ' W day of next December, the Legisla te could inveut enough work to keep . . n spssion until then. There never "i a truer remark than that "the world governed too much." The Philadelphia liecord referring to the trouble that the recent act of Assem bly requiring "physiology and hygiene'' to be taught in the public schools is giv ing to the Superintendent of the schools ia that city, who is regarded as one of the best educatois in the country. Bays : Superintendent MacAlister is now rubbing that distracted globe hd calls bis head, try ing to find suitable method of teaching the little ones io tr.e primary grades of the pub lic school "physiology and hygiene." (low hall be teach what his infant pupils cannot comprehend ? Yet they most be taught the .bar in and danger that lie hidden in alcohol. Ic drinks, stimulants and narcotics, or the money appropriated by the Mate will not be paid over. It is a hard case. Few of the teachers are competent to impart the re quired Instruction, and few of the pupils to unrtorxtand it. How much better it would be If the Legislature would not meddle, and If the teachers would teach the rudimentary branches, so that their scholars might read, write and cipher. There are graduates of the schools In plenty wto can dj but Indif ferently well any of these three things. We are taming our school Into smatter shops. The present Register of the Treasury Is Blanche K. Bruce, an educated col ored man fram Mississippi and formerly Mr. Lamar's colleague from that State in the Senate of the United States. The duties of the office are not at all laborious, but the salary is quite respec table. Bruce was originally appoiuted by Mr. Arthur to conciliate the colored men of the South who were rapidly drifting away from the Republican par ty and going over to the Democratic camp. If Bruce had acted with dis creetness it is probable that he might have retained his place under Mr. Cleve land, but he abandoned his office last summer and went to Ohio with scores of other office holders at Washington, and entered actively on the campaign iu that state in favor cf the Republican State ticket and the election of Blaine. Af ter bis performance on the stump in Ohio we presume that Bruce entertain ed no serious thought of being retained in the Register's office in the event of Cleveland's election. Be that as it may, he found out from some source last week that his resignation would be ac ceptable, and wishing to be as accom modating as the nature of the case would admit of. he went to the White House and quielly stated to tbe President that his resignation was at his disposal. His successor nas not yet beeo appointed. Mr. Bruce is a man of high character and when be was elected to the Senate was a professor !n a colored college in Mississippi. Between him and Mr. La mar, now Secretary of the Interior, a warm personal friendship has always xiled. There is a wide difference of opin ion between Auditor General Niles and State Treasurer Livsey ou the one hand, and Mr. Snodgrass, of Allegheny coun ty. Chairman of the Committee on Ap propriations in the House, on the other, about the ability of the Treasury to meet tbe aggregate amount of the ap propriations if tbe bills now pending in the House become laws. The two State officers, earned above, are presumed to have an accurate knowledge regarding the revenues of the State for the coming fiscal year, and they do not hesitate to declare that if Snodgrass is successful in putting all his appropriation bills through, the result will be a bankrupt treasury. There ought to be no difficul ty whatever in arriving at the truth on this subject. The State officers can al ways estimate the receipts of the trea sury with substantial accuracy, while on the other band the amonnt of the different appropriations proposed to be made, can be readily ascertained by the simple rule of addition, and then by the process of subtraction the question is made clear. AH this being apparent it is incomprehensible how three men all of whom have the same facts at their command, can arrive at conclusions in volving a difference of between one and two millions of dollars. For obviou reasons we are inclined to ihisk that Messrs. Niles and Livsey are right and that Snodgrass is all wrong. Some of the Republicans In the House have ap pealed to Snodgrass to cut his bills down so that both ends mav meet, but his reply is that the Auditor General is an alarmist and that his "Aggers'" are founded in a desire to make capital for himsflf as a future Republican candi date for Governor. We don't believe that Mr, Niles is that sort of a man, but on the contrary give him credit for not desiring to see bills rushed recklpssty through the House which the treasury will be totally unable to mpt. If Snodgrass would imitate Mr. Niles ns well as the State Treasurer, and publish a detailed statement giving the Azures In defence of the position he assumes, he could place the Auditor General in a very awkward position. This he has not done and will not do. for the reason, as we believe, that thg facts are all the other way. The Senate will take care of Snodgrass' appropriations if he suc ceeds in getting the House to assent to them, and thus prevent the State from putting out morn paper than she can redeem. TnE bill apportioning the State into Senatorial districts which the Republi can members in the Legislature have succeeded in finally passing after labor ing with it for four months, was ?ent, to the Governor for his action on last Fri day. He has ten days within which to approve or veto it. lie is reported to have said the other day that on the ap portionment question he stood now just where he did two years ago, "on the Constitution." Occupying tnis impreg nable position the bill will be vetoed as a matter of course, and so will the Con es gressional apportionment bill when the Republicans succeed in hammering it into a Bbape to suit theii partisan pur pose. Apportionment legislation in al most every State of which we have any knowledge has degenerated into a sim ple question of political power the ability to rob minr.riMes of every right guaranteed to them by the Constitution and by every principle of justice. This remark is aiiRe applicable to both par ties and is equally disreputable to both, for it is a stubborn fact that whatever party is in power in a Legislature in any of the States it will take every unfair advantage it can in framing an appor tionment bill, and press it to final pas sage In open defiance of the plain man date of the Constitution. That there Is not a shadow of fairness Ic either the Congressional or Senatorial b-lls at Harrisburg, the former of which ban not yet assumed deDnite shape, is not mere assertion, but is susceptible of the clear est demonstration. If the Republican majority In each branch of the Legisla ture won't respect tbe Constitution, it is the sworn duty of Governor Pattison to preyent its violation by interposing the veto power Iu its defence. When the Prohibitory amendment o the Constitution came Vfore the House for consideration a couple of weeks xgo, an amendment was offered to reimburse persons engaged in the liquor trffi : on account of the depreciation of thir property by the operation of the pro posed amendment, and it was adopted by 83 yeas, to 77 nays. The bill whs then postponed for the present. Dur ing the latter of last week the bill was called up again by the leader of the Pro hibitionists, and a motion made to re consider the vote by which the Amend ment bad been adopted. This motion was lost by a vote of 83 yeas, to 98 nays. Tbe bill was then defeated by a vo'e of 76 yeas, to 104 nays ; and then in or.1t-r to clinch the defeat a Philadelphia op ponent of the measure moved a recon sideration of the vote and to lay that motion on the table. But he had mis calculated his strength, and instead of the motion being defeated as he expect ed, the friends of Prohibition rallied and carried the motion by a vote of yeas, 92 ; nays 87, thus leaving the mat ter as it stood when the joint resolution with the amendment was defeated by yea's, 76 ; nays, 104. When that vote was announced the Prohibitory amend ment was dead for the session, had not the Philadelphia member overestimat ing his strength undertaken to bury the corpse. It is very evident, however, from the proceedings thus far that no Constitutional amendment can puss tbe House at this session. The President last week appointed Edmund A. Bigler.of CWrfield.a son of ex Governor Bigler, Collector of Inter nal Revenue for the Twenty Third, Pennsylvania district, with headquar ters at Pittsburg. The appointment was made at the request of ex Governor Curt.n and will be warmly endorsed by the Democracy of this section of the Stat. Mr. Bigler, like his father, is an honest, incorruptible man and emi neutly qualified In every respect for the position. The district embraces quite a large number of counties in the west ern part of the State and takes in this county. The present Collector is Col. Jackson, of Armstrong county. ' McCLELLAN'S VIDICAT10. HE PITTS TnE RFSPOXSIBFXITY OT THE PENINSULAR FAILURE ON STANTON. The May number of 2Jie Century con tains several war papers, in addition to other Interesting matter, but nothing so important as General McClellan's paper on "The Peninsular Campaign," in which he places the responsibility for the failure of that campaign very dis tinctly upon Secretary Stanton. From this we make these extracts : So long as Mr. Cameron was Secreta ry of War I received the cordial support of that department; but when he re signed, the whole state of affairs chang ed. 1 had never met Mr. Stanton be fore reaching Washington, in 1861. He at once sought me and professed the ut most personal affection, the expression of which was exceeded only by the bit terness of his denunciation of the gov ernment and its policy. I was unaware of his appoin' mnt as Secretary of War until after it had been made, whereup on he called to ascertain whether I de sired him to accept, savin that do so would involve a total sacrifice of his personal Interests, and that the only "in ducement would be the desire to assist me In my work. Having no reason to doubt his sincerity, I desired him to ac cept, whereupon he consented, and with great effusion exclaimed : "Now we two will sve the countrv." On the next div the President came to my house to explain whv he had ap pointed Mr. Stanton without consulting me ; his reason being-that he supposed Stanton to be a great friend r.f mine, and that Ihn appointment, wnuld natur ally be satisfactory, and that, he feared that if I had known it beforehand it would be aid that I had dragooned him into it. The more serious difficulties of mv po sition begnn with Mr. Stanton's acces sion to the war office. It Rt once be came wry difficult to approach him, even for the transaction of ordinary cur rent business, and o ir personal relat ions at once ceased. The impatience of the Executive immediately became extreme, and I can attribute it or.lv to the influ ence of the new secretary. who did mmv things to break up the free and confi dential intercourse that had heretofore existed between the President and my self. The government soin manifested great impatience in regard to the open ing of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad and the destruction of the Confederate batteries on the Potomac. The first ol ject could he permanently attained only by occupying the Shenandoah Valley with a force strong enough to resist any attack by the Confederate army then at Mar.assas; the second only by a general advance of the Army of the Potomac, driving the enemy back of the Rapidan. Mv own view was that the movement of the Army of the Potomac from Urbanna would accomplish both of these otjpc.ts by forcing the enemy to abindon all his positions and fall back on Richmond. I was 'herefore unwilling to interfere with this plan by a premature advance, the effect of which must be either to commit us to the overland rout or to minimize the advantages of the Urban na movement I wished to hold the en emy at Manassas to the' last m ment if possible until tlje advancement from Urbanna had actually commenced, for neither the reooening of the railroad nor the destruction of the batteries was worth the dangei involved. STANTON'S UNAUTHORIZED ACTION. The positive order of the President, probably issued under the pressure the Secretary of War, forced me to under take the opening ot the, railway. For this purpose. I went to Harper's Ferry, in February, intending to throw over a forfiw sufficient to occupy Winchesty. To do this was nec-ssary to have a reli able bridge across the Potomac to en sure supplies and prompt reinforce ments. The pontoon biidge, thrown as a preliminary could not tie absolutely trmred on a river so liable to heavy Ireshets ; therefore it was determined to construct a' canal boat bridge. It was discovered, however, wheu the at tempt was made, that the lift lock from the canal to the river was too uarrow for the boa's by some four or five inch es, and I theretnre decided to rebuild the railroad bridge, ami content myself with occupying Charleston until its completion, postponing to the same time the advance to Winchester. I had ful ly explained :ny intentions to the Pres ident and Secretary before leaving Washington, providing for precisely such a contingency. While at Harper's Ferry I learned that the President was dissatisfied with my action, and on reaching Washington I laid a fu'.l explanation- before the Secretary, with which he expressed himself entirely sat isfied, and told me that ttte President whs already so. and that it was unneces sary for me to communicate with him on the subject. I then proceeded with the preparations necessary to force the evacuation of the Potomac batteries. On the verv day appointed for the divis ion commanders to come to headquar ters to receive their final orders, the President sent for me. I then learned tha he had received no explanat ion of the Harper's Ferry affair, and that the. Secretary was not HUthoiized to matte tti sta!eint-nt already referred to; hut nf'tr mv repetition r it, the President U-caniH fmly sal ihd wi;h my course. He then, however, said that there was ano'her, "very ugly matter" which he desired to talk about, and that, was the movement by the lower Chesapeake. He said that it had teen suggested that I proposed this movement with the "traitorous" purpose, of leaving Wash ington uncovered and exposed to attack. I very promptly objected to the coupling of any such adjectives with my pur poses when he disclaimed any intention of conveying the idea that he expressed his own opinion, as he merely repeated the suggestions of others. I then ex plained Ui purpose and effect of forti fying Washing' on. and, as I thought, removed his apprebensious.but informed him that the division commanders were to be at tbe, headquarters that morning. ! am suggested that, my plans should be laid before.them, that they might give their opinion as to whether the capital would be endangered ; I also said that in order to leave them perfectly untram melled I would not attend the meeting. Accordingly they met on the Sib or March and approved my plans. DEMORALIZING) THE ARMY. On. the same day was issued, without my knowledge, the order forming army corps and ass;gning the senior geut-rai officers to their command. My own views were that, as the command of ar my corps involved great responsibility and demanded ability of t high order, it was safer to uostpoue their fottuatkm unti". trial in the field bd shown which geueral officers could U-st perform these vital fnnciious. An incompetent divi sion commander could not often jeop aidize the safety of an array ; while an unfit corps commander could easiiy lose a battle and frustrate the best conceived plan of campaign. Of tbe four corps commanders, only one had commanded so much as a regiment in the field prior to the liuli Run campaign. On the next day intelligence arrivrd that the enemy was abandoning Dispositions. I crossed to the Virginia ide to receive informa titn more pron.ptly, and decide upon what should be done. During the night I determined to advance the whole army, to take advantage ot any opportunity to strike the tDeruy, to break up the per manent camps, give the troops a little experience on the match and in bivouac, get rid of extia baggago, and test the working of the staff depap merits. If this were done at all, it must be done promptly and by moving the troops by divisions, without waiting to form the army corps. Accordingly, I telegraph- ed to the Secretary, explaining the state of the case and asking authority to postpone tbe at mv corps formation un til the completion of the movement. Tbe reply was an abrupt and unreason able refusal. I again telegraphed, ex plaining the situation and throwing the responsibility upon the Secretary, where upon he gave way. Meanwhile as far back as the 27th of February, orders had been given for col lecting the transportation necessary to carry out the Urbanna movement. This conclusion had been reached after full discussion. On the 27th f Janua ty had been issued the President's gen eral war order No. 1, directing a gener al movement of the land and naval for ces against t he enemy on the 22d of Feb ruary. On the 31st of January was is sued the President's special war order No. 1, directing the Army of the Poto mac to advance to the attack of Manas sas on the 22J of February. The Pres ident, however, permitted me to state my objections to this order, which I did, at length, in a letter of February 3. to the Secretary of War. As the Presi dent's order was not insisted upon, al though never formally revoked, it is to be assumed that my letter produced, for a time at least, the desired effect. When Manassas was abandoned and the enemy was behind the Rapidan, the Ur banna movement lost much of its prom ise, as the enemv were now in position to reach Richmond before we could do so. The alternative remained of mak ing Fortress Monroe and its vicinity the base of operations. The question nowiirose as to tbe line of operations to be followed.'; that of the James on the one hand, on the oth er, the line from White House as a base, crossing the Upper Cbiekahominy. REINFORCEMENTS WITHHELD, The army was admirably placed for adopting either, and my decision was to tak. that, of the James, operating- on either bank as might prove advisable, but. always preferring the southern. I had urgently asked for reinforcements to come bv water, as they would thus be equally availaole for ei'her line of oper ations. The destruction of the Merri mac on the llth of May bad opened the river James to us, and it was onl7 after that date that it became available. My plan, however, was changed by orders from "Washington. A teleeram of the 13th from the Secretary of War inform ed me that McDowell would advance from Fredericksburg, and directed roe to extend the right of t he Army of the Potomac tothe north of Richmond, in order to establish communications with him. The same order required me to supply his troops from our depots at White House. Herein lay the failure of the campaign. as it necessitated the di vision of ',he army by the Cbickahominy, and caused great delay in constructing practicable bridges across that stream ; while If I had been able to cross tbe James, reinforcements would have reached me bv water rapidly and safely, the army would have been united and in no danger of having its flank turned or its line of supply interrupted, and the attack could have been much more rap idlv pushed. No praise can be too great for the of ficers and men who passed through these seven days of bat tie, enduring fatigue without a murmur, successfully meeting and repelling every attack made upon them, always in the right place at the right time, and emerging from the fiety ordeal a compact armv of veterans. equal to anv task that brave and disciplined men can le called upon to undertake. They needed now only a few davs of well-earned repose, a renewal of amtini tion aud supplies, and reinforcements to fill toe gaps made in their ranks by so many desperate encounters, to tie pre pared to advance again with entire con fidence to meet their worthy antagonists in other battles. It was, however, deci ded by the authorities at Washington, against m earnest remonstrances, to abandon the position on theJames, and the campaign. The Army of the Poto mac was accordingly withdrawn, and it was not until vears later that it again found itself under its last commander at. substant ially the same point on the bank of the James. It was as evident in 1S62" as in 1S65 that was the true defense of Washington, and that it was on the banks of the James that the fate of the Union was to be decided. Laticaater Intellujencer. In their solicitude over tbe imminent rnpture of the Democratic party, the Republicans are likely to overlook their own impending circus with the Prohibi tionists. The temperance men are ev erywhere organizing for active work in. the State elections this fall, and are adopting the sound policy of independ ent nominations the only policy for party which pretends to incarnate a vi tal principle. In New York the Prohi bitionists are notably zealous, and have a heavy account to settle with the Re publicans, who have reviled them as the authors of Blaine's defeat, and are pun ishing them by passing an excise bil? by the liquor dealers and by voting fo license at the spring elections. M'en who have withstood the pressure of last year's campaign will only be confirmed io their opposition by such tactics, ami as the Presidency is not nominally at stake, they will be reinforced by voters who could not bring their minds to hott ing the ticket last year. The prospect is not a promising one for the Republi cans of the Empire State, and nobody will feel very sorry for them. Dodgjng and dickering never pay it the long rn. Piladelphia Record.
