DWARD I MePHERSON,
WV PENSION OF R. STANTON.
kie last' Monday a week, President
JOIMBON requested Secretary STANTON
to resign the Secretaryship of War. The
same day, the Secretary declined, "for
public considerations of a high charac
ter"--being,the same phrase used by the
President in communicating his request.
Mattees remained in this position until
Monday of 'this week, when the PRFM
pENT suspended Mr, STANTON from his
office as Secretary, directed him to 'ease
to exercise any and all the functions per
taining to the same, assigned Gen.
GRANT to- act as Secretary of War, and
01rEeted Mr. STANTON' to deliver to
GRANT all records, books, papers, and
other public property now in his charge.
Mr. Smarms denied the right of the
PirusiT)ENT to suspend him from his
Office without the consent of the Senate,
and without legal cause ; bUC:inasmuch
as Gen. GRANT had been appointed Sec
retary of War ad interim, and had noti
fied him of his acceptance, he stated that
he had no alternative but to submit, un
der protest, to superior force.
General GRANT in notifying Mr. STAN-.
•TON of his acceptance said he could not
let the opportunity pass without expres
sing his approbation of the zero, patriot
ism, firmneesland ability with: which he
had ever discharged the duties of Secre
tary of War.
. The right of suspension, exercised by
the PREZIDENT, is given in the Civil
Tenure Act in these words :
"That when any officer appointed as afore
said, excepting Judges of tbe ,United States
courts, shall, daring a recess of the Senate
be shown, by evidence satisfactory to the
Pfesident, to be 'guilty of misconduct in
in office, or crime, or for any reason shell
become incapable or "(wally disqualified
to Arco= its duties, in such cast, and in
no other, the President may suspend such
officer and designate some Suitable person to
perform, temporarily, the duties of such of
fice until the meeting of the Senate," ttc.
If the . PRESIDEIsa' fail, when called
. upon, to prove that Mr. STANTDN Was
guilty of "litisconduct In edam," or
"crime," or had become "incapable," or
"legally disqualified'," he will be held
guilty of au Impeachable offence In mak- I
ing this suspension.
One account states that the PRE:SIM:NT
has telegraphed to Gen, STEAnatatc, of
New Orleans, to come on and take the
War office. But it appears more probe-
IA Gen. GRANT will be retained in it, at
least for the present.
GRANT'R assignment to these duties
cannot but prove embarrassing to him 4
and this is, without doubt, the purpose
of the PRESIDENT in assigning him. He
is' charged by the late Reconstruction
Act, with duties additional to those be
lonstrig tb his military fkisition. It is
the manifest purpose of the PR (DENT
to try td check him in the pertornaanee of
Them, by establishing between them per
sonal and official relations of an intimate
character. How far Gen. GRANT may
be swerved from an independent and
Starless line of polity, remains tO be seen.
We believe, he will be fully equal to the
r>♦oaaion ; and that the PRFSILYVT has
won a barren victory.
The area' of the . deposition of Mr.
STANTON will be to stimulate the worst
passions► of the South, and to delay Re?
construction. It will' increase the influ
ience of the worse men of that region, and
will bear a crop of miseb,:ef.
It is given out, that General SHERIDAN
is next to fall; and after trim, Judge
HOLT. All these wrongs tend to force
the ultimate, and only adequate remedy
'--the impeaeitment and *removal of the.
PiEstrimiT, to Which Congresi may be
expected to address itself on its meeting
In Novetnber next.
Acoovwra have been recently printed
of suffering among freedmen in Virginia.
We eeti•lt stated that General SCHOPIELD
has ordered that after the 20th instant
all the destitute' in Virginia shall be
turned over to the Overseers of the Poor,
in the respective counties and cities.—
The Freedmen's Bureau rations will no
longer be leaned. Some of the Demo
cratic papers have been denouncing the
Government for feeding the destitute and
suffering in Virginia, and complained of
the 'xi:mgt. Involved ih this act of hu
manity. It' is deup„tful whether they
will have the manliness to state that, at
length, the people of those districts are
hereafter to take care of their own poor.
Timm. was a prospect at one time of a
split among the Republicans of Califor
nia, on the nominee for Governor made
by the regular Convention. At all inde
:Nit Convention, Hon. Jonx Em
s late M. C., was nominated ; but
3 declined and advised his Mends
port Mr. Gonnest. The prospects
nowjare that all differences will be bar.
=zed, and the "Golden State" be kept
in the Republiean phalanx. The
record of the Democracy .of California
throughout the War was so offensive
that the Republican masses buried all
differences in the presence of a common ,
danger, and to save the State from a
threatened disgrace.
THE Kentucky election for State °M
eer. resulted in the election of the Seces
sion Democratic -candidates over the Re
pithlioen and the National Democratic.
The majerity is about '*4 large as at the

salaries of Ministers in the United Stateg;
mnd from one thousand replies received,
is nonvineed that more than three fourths
of an tie ministerial salaries are less than
$l,OOO .per uniturai andn , large number
vary from $340 to $7OO. He has embodied
his conclusions in. a letter to the Congre
gationaliet, from which we quote :
"In reply to a request made through your
journal in February last, that clergymen of
different denominations would favor me
: with
a statement of their salaries in 1800 and 1865,
in order to ascertain' what had been the ad
ranee made inconsequence of the depredation
of the currency, I have received. in various
I ways, Answers that include the salaries of
11,000 ministers qf eight different denomina
' tions, residing in eighteen States, varying in
&monist from $350 to $5,000 per annum. Of
the whole number furnished, 450 communica
tions stated the lads so fully and explicitly as
to enable me to give the following results :
Average salaries In 1860 4772.35
Cluiirnnan.
krorage 'abides In 1845
Average gratuities per year
Average advance in salaries for MO to 1.865,
per cent.
Average cuivance in enlarges and grate it ie.,
Pet cent
Prom the remaining 550, not so definitely
reported, the evidence is sufficient to show
that the average advance is something less
than that before stated, (eight counties in Con
nectieut, for example, giving an advance of
but 15 per cent.,) so that we shall be safe in.
assuming that the whole average advance in
the salaries of 1,000 ministers of the Congre
gational, Methodist, Baptist, Unitarian, Uni
versalist, Episcopal, Presbyterian and Luthe
ran denominations, is not, at the largest esti
mate, over 20 per cent., extra gratuities in
cluded. And we may pretty safely assume
that this is near the general average as applied
to the clergy of the loyal States generally. If
so, we are able" to arrive at certain conclusions:
First, That the salaries of clergymen have
not been increased in proportion to the grea
ter cost of commodities, the latter having ad
vanced at least 100 per cent.
Second, That salaries have not been in
creased as much as the wages of labor in gen
eral, because the latter advanced 50 per cbnt.
between 1860 and 1865, as ascertained from
various sources.
Third, That salaries were not enhanced
so much as the profits of trade and manufac
tures, which, between 1860 and 1865, are
known to have increased some 100 per cent.
—that Is, they were about doubled •in amount.
Fourth, As a conclusion, that the clergy as
a body must have made a greater sacrifice of
pecuniary interest than any principal class of
the Community.
MODERN DEMOCILLCY appears to repre
sent everything and anything. The South
Carolina Democrats have proposed a bar
gain with the colored voteraof that State
by which the candidates of the former
for State offices, and of the latter for
Members of Congress are to be jointly
supported . by the combined vote of the
two cirmes. Tire Boston Post, the or
gan of the New England Democracy re
peats its familiar views:
"We have urged the North again and again
to make its citizens equal before the law and
before the ballot-box. We should be glad to
see the Massachusetts Suffrage law adopted
by every State in the Union. No matter
what a maks calor or size may be—if he - elm
read or write, is twenty-one years old (we
have no objectiou to eipteeo), and so forth—
let him vote
So, the case 'stands thus; The Xew
England Democrats are for colored suf
frage, qualified by an intelligence test.—
The South Carolina DemocraCy as ap
pears abovenre for unqualified:suffrage.
The Michigna. Democrats stand lby them.
Th.e New 'fork Democracy are uncertain
how to range themselves. And the
Pennsylvania Pemoerany are flat-footed
against any recognition of pke_jpevitable
issue of the present controversy.
If, after such an exposure of 111COUNAS
-teneles anybody can tell what the Demo
cratic party mean by their policy, which.
they ask the people to endorse, we would
be 100 tq have an intelligible statement
of it..
WHILE the Northern Pepperel are
exhausting themselves, as of old, witt
denunciation of the colored people, the
Southern Democrats are calling upon
them to rescue the South from "Radical
domination." They not only call upon
colored men ; but in Tennessee they
called upon .sue formerly a resident of
this State, named iox Wri_ArAms, once of
Middletown, who stumped a la;.ge part .
of Tennessee for Etheridge and other
Democratic caadidates. JOE'S arguments
proved to be of little avail, for Etheridge
bardly got votes enough to prove that
he ..w.ff fi candidate. The Harrisburg
Telegraph g4re,s Chia pleasant account of
this new Democrattcgretor :
"It will be remembered by our readers that
this seine Joe Williams, of Middletown, some
years ago, was, • with his father, mother and
sister, bought from slavery by the contribu
tions .of the .people of this county, from a
alavehelder in Maryland. Joe afterwards
proved ,to be a lazy, good-foriloadng rascal,
and was driven awayfrem.limelpyhis father.
He served out one sentence ht the Lancaster
county jail, and one in our Ilauphin . jaiL 7 -
Some time in 1856, Joe disappeared for a cou

Government in the war waked against Para
guay by the allied powers of the Argentine
Republic, Brazil and Uruguay. The offer
was originally made in March, and at that
dine rejeeted ; but the Argentine Secretary,
making use of expressions which might be
construed into an acceptance, upon modified
conditiOns, General Asboth adroitly renewed
the proposal, and was met with a point-blank
refusal., The result of this fruitless interven
tion had been the giving to the combatants
further time for preparation. They must
now fight it out to the end.—A movement is
on foot in South Germany among the Liber

any intention of entering into negotiations for
the sale of the Island of St. Thomas.—lt is

never will sign another death-warrant. Pity
his Majesty had not come to that decision
sooner—say just after the surrender of Vila

Bmyhead, Wicklow county, Ireland, on the
9th inst. The express train from Dublin for
Wicklow, when at the above-named locality,
ran off the track, and three passenger coaches
were precipitated into the sea. The railroad
at that point runs along the summit of a high
bluff. The loss of life was frightful. Four

—escaped uninjured.

The July report of the Agricultural Depart
ment presents a favorable prospect for uni
formly good crops. The crop of 1859 was
five and a half bushels ofwheat to each per
son; this year, it will be about six.
WHICA.T.—AII the States except Vermont,
New York, and Pennsylrania show an in
crease over last year.
Coss.—The average is unusually large, ev
ery. State showing a material increase except
Maine, New Hampshire, New York and
South Carolina. In the Southern States the
increase ranges upward to 109 per cent., as
in Arkansas. The condition, as reported, is
a little deficient in ibe Northern and Western
States on,account of the latAllesPefthe spring.
With the continuance of the present Weather
there is ample opportunity to make, up the
entire deficiency, in whichsase the yield Will
be unprecedented.
Ours.—The condition of Oats points to a
full average in the West, particularly in Wis

R. Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, and the
South—slightly less than last year in Maine,
Vermont, New York and Kentucky.
Pub LRES AND HAT. —These prep,s itre tit&
vcrsally large from an average up to 15, 20,
and even 30 per cent. above.
POTATOES.—The report of the acreage of po
tatoes indicates a larger area planted in every
State except Maine and New York. The con
dition is also above an average, with a few
exceptions, among which are New York, Ohio
and Indiana.
FRlTM—Peacileb ace so exceptional in

NEW Yonr, August S.—At the semi-Month
ly meeting of the Commissioners of Emigra
tion-yesterday afternoon, a committee repor
ted upon the case of the Austrian ship Gni
rippe Sacearich. The report says that the
death of nineteen of the passengers of the
Baezitrieli..Wii 'owing to the tietieleztey and
bad quality of the food" supplied' rind' in the
poisonous water given for use. The ship had
neither tea nor sugar, physician nor drug
store; the bread was mouldy and unfit for
use, and the potatoes were bad. The report
charges that these deaths were so many mar
ders, seventeen of which occurred on the pas
sage.fron? Antwerp and two' while the ship
was in iinaiiiitine here after her arrival. A.
Strauss & Co., shipperiat AntWeip. Axe very
severely censured, and the committee arraign
them as especially guilty of murder. Strauss
& Co. are said to have borne a long time a
very bad reputation in their business, and
more than once several German societies have
warned their brethern against trusting theta
selves in arranss & Co.'s ships. When the
Bgeeli-ich'imis-qud twenty-four sick
passengers were at once placed , i>i the hoppi
tal ship, and they speedily re - Coveted: All
the surviving passengers have been informed
of their legal right to, obtain redress for the
wrongs inflicted ' upon them, and many of
-them have already 'taken steps towards that
end. report of the committee is presen
ted to the Consuls of Beig‘rmr, 4} stria and
Prussia, that the Governmenti . of these coun
tries may understand the state of the case,
with a view to their taking such action as
they may deem fit.

The early admonition of Governor On on this
question was even more significant than was

the satirfaction of the unusually large number
ofvisitors. The only thing to may the pleas
„aptness of the occasion wasa grossly libelous
publication with the above name, on Thurs

wholesale denunciation of the character of the

someliterary character and wit to commend
them to attention. This one had not even
these redeeming features. Low in taste, vul

libelous caricature,falsehood and blasphemy,
its authors judiciously availed themselves of
the darkness of the night to scatter it through
the town. Its only effect in this community,
was to develop a deep feelitt4 of

Albert D. Hcbardson, is the title of a hand
i'orrte volume, just issued by the National
klublislaing Company, 507 Minor street,
Pa. The Author's long anti
varied experience in the little known auS
interesting regions of the Far West, funish--
es the valuable pater's' for this work.
Mr. Richardson is widely known as. owe
of oar most brilliant jou.rnalL4s and wri
ters. No other Author has traveled over so
much of our vas; scestern domains, and we
know of no Cake 11,:ho can so well describe
what he bas seen. He is always interesting,.
generally amusing, and, better still. invari-.
ably truthful.
The volume before us is accompatiied. e'-
en accurate and minute map ofthoeatire re
gion beyond the Mississippi,attdis elegantly
printed and profusely illustrated with over
two hundred engravings groin original pho
tographs and sketolvx. from the pencils of
Bierstadt, Nast liennessy, Darley, Fenn,
Stephens„ Forbes and other eminent artists,
winch are really beattetful and worthy at
examination as specimens of art. Many of ;
them are set into the body of the text, after (
the popular at le of LosSing's
Book of the IDlrvolution.
It is a credit both to Ainerica.u.a..l and au--
Worship, and is not only the most valuable
work from Mr. Richardson's pen, but by far
the best and most eomplete history of the
great West over issued.. Its descriptions are
photographically vivid. It blends informa
tion, pathos, fun and legend with full prac
tical and minute accounts of the farming,
mining, trading, railroad building and oita
er great interests and resources of our ;431 ph
talked of, though heretofore little ',mown,.
new States and Territories. It ie, the pro-.
duct of vast labor, in travel up l; personal
observation, and is destined toltave an ex-
traordinary sale.
This work, we undorsanaci, issold onty by
subscription, and is s just such a one as per—
