SECRETARY STANTON AND BE
CIIANAN'S CABINET.
69.
Hon. Henry Wihoc, of Massachusetts,
contributes to the Atlantic Monthly an
interesting article on the services of the late
Secretary Stanton. Mr. Wilson's position
as Chairman of the Senate Military Com
mittee brought him in daily contact with
the Secretary of War, and gave him special
opportunities to know Mr. Stanton's essen
tial character and services. Senator Wil
son developes some interesting facts bearing
on treasonable agencies at work in Mr.
Buchanan's Cabinet, and Mr. Stanton's re
lations to them. The following extract
from Mr. Wilson's article will be lead with
interest:
"I first knew Mr. Stanton during the clos
ing hours of Mr. Buchanan's weak and
wicked administration. On the election of
Mr. Lincoln, South Carolina, trained for
thirty years in the school of treason, leaped
headlong Into rebellion. Other States fol
lowed her example. Southern Senator' and
Representatives came to Congt esti, and, with
official oaths on thertr . perjured lips, plotted
against the peace and unity of their country.
Conspiracies were rife in the Cabinet, iu
Congress, in the departments, in the army,
In the navy, and among the citizens of the
capital, for the overthrow of the Govern
ment and the dismemberment of the
Union.
Day by day, during the terrible winter,
loyal men In Congress saw with profound
sorrow their riven and shattered country
sinking into the fathomless abyss of dis
union. The President and his Attorney
General surrendered - the Government's
right of self preservation by &sitting the
conspiratorn that "no power had been dole
gated to Congress to coerce into submission
a State which is auecupting to withdraw,
or which tuts entirely withdrawn, from the
confederacy." Tue Secretary of the Treas
ury was deranging the finances and sinking
the national credit. Thu Secretary of War
was scattering the little army, and sending
muskets, cannon, and munitions of - war
where they coma De clinched by the bon •
spinsurrs. Tue Secretary or the Interior
was permitting the rubbery of trust funds,
and revealing to traitors toe action of his
Government. A New England Secretary
of the NeiYY was rendering that arm of the
service powerless for the national defence.
Northern politicians were ostetatlonsly giv
ing pledge's "never to vote a man or a dol
lar for coercion," and assuring the conspir
ators, who were seising torts, arsenals, and
arms, and raising batteries for assault or
defence, that troops, raised for tue subjuga
tion of the South; "must pass over their
dead bodies." Officers of the Senate and
of the executive departments were mem
bers of secret organizations that nightly
plotted treason in the national capitaL
It was a time of peril, anxiety, and gloom
Patriotic men can hardly recall those days
of apostacy without a shudder. President
Buchalnan was weak and wavering. Mr.
Stanton, whim be had consulted before the
mewing of Congress, had advised him to
incorporate into his message the doctrine
that the Federal Government had the power,
and that it was its duty, to coerce seceding
States. But timid and treasonable counsels
prevailed, and the patriotic and vigorous
advice of Hr. Stanton was rejected. The
plottings and intrigues of the secessionists
and tire fatal weakness of the President
alarmed the veteran Secretary of State.
With large intelligence and experience,
General Case had little strength of Will or
tenacity of purpose. But whatever may
have been his faults and shortcomings, he
was a true patriot, and - ardently loved hie
native land. The threatening aspect of
public affairs greatly excited the aged states
man. The secession leaders sought to im
press upon the mind of the President the
idea that his Secretary of State was loosing
his mind t hut a loyal Democret, to whom
the President communicated his apprehen
sions, aptly replied that Gen. Casa was the
only sane man in his Cabinet. Feeling that
he could no longer serve his country by
continuing in the Cabinet, the Secretary re
tiredoleaving to Joseph Holt, then Fest
master General, the pressing injunction to
remain, and, It possible, save the endanger
ed nation.
On his retirement, Attorney General
Black, who bad pronounced against the
power of the Governoient to coe rce
seceding States and who maintained that
the attempt to do so 'would be the expulsion
of such State from the Onion,' and would
absolve all the States 'from their Federal
obligations,' and the peOple from Cofitrihnt
ing 'their money or their blood to carry on
a contest like that,' was made Secretary of
State. In the terrible conflict through
which the nation has passed, there has been
a general recognition, by Men not given to

where did the Divine inlet position appear

ASPIKATIOSS.
Our aims are all too light; we tri . '
To gain the summit at a bound,
When we should reach it step by step,
And climb the ladder round by round.
He who would climb the bights sublime
Or breathe the purer air of life,
Ai ust not expect to rest in ease,
But brace himself for toil or strife.
We shottld not in lAndnedis seek
To grope alone for grand or treat,
Disdeining every smaller good,
For trifles make the aggregate.
And if a Cloud should hover o'er
Our weary pathway like a pall,
Remember God permits It there,
And his good purpose reigns o'erall.
Life should be full of earnest work,
Our hearts undashed by fortune's frown
Let perseverance conquer fate,
And merit seize the victor's crown.
The battle is not to the strong,
The race not always to the fleet;
And he who seeks to pluck the stars
Will lope the jewels at his feet.
urged bold and decisive action. He coun
selled often with the aged veteran, General
Scott, and with leading statesmen, and he
gave patriotic adviceto the members of the
Peace Congreis.
He went even farther. He put himself
in communication with the Republicans in
Congress, and kept them well informed of
what was going on in the council of the
Administration directly relating to the den
geya of the country. The House of Repre
sentatives had raised a committee to laves
ilgate treasonable macbinatiolm and con
spiracies. Howard of Michigan and
Dawes of Masaachusettl, zealous Republi
cans, were upon it. SW - 4was Reynolds an
earnest and patriotic member from New
York ; Coihnszte, from the same State, then
much- , of a Democratic partisan, and
Branch, who .was killed lighting in the
rinks of the rebels. Mr. Stanton was so
anxious to baffle the conspirators that he
made an arrangement by which Messrs.
Howard and Dawes were i ; li med of what-
ever occurred tending t endanger the
country, and which be dr:d ed should be
thwarted by the Mends of the incoming
Administra ion. He bene red that Mr.
Toucey, Secretary of the Navy, was false
to his c utitry, and that he ought to be at
resttd. The resolution concerning
introduced into the House by Mr. Dawes,
was inspired by Mr. Stanton.
A committee of vigilance was organized
by the more active Republican members of
Congress. I was a member of that corn
mitten, as was also Mr. Colfax. It was in
that time of intense anxiety and trial that I
became acquainted with Mr. Stanton, abd
consulted with him, and received from him
;earnings and suggestions. He was in
almost daily consultation, too, with mem
bers of both houses. In one of the most
critical periods, Mr. Samner,who made his
acquaintance soon after entering Congress,
visited frir.Stanton at the Attorney General's
office. Being surrounded by false and
treacherous men, who watched his every
word and act, he led Mr. Stunner from his
office, told him that he did not dare to hold
conversation with him there, and made an
appointment to call upon him at one o'clock
in the morning. At that hour he made the
prns.lied call, and explained to him the*
the perilous condition of the country, and
suggested plane of action for loyal men in
Congress.
Of course such intense patriotism sleep
less vigilance, and tireless activity brought
him In conflict with disloyal men both in
the Cabinet and in Congress. Scenes of
thrilling interest were sometimes enacted in
the Cabinet. Floyd, who had administered
the War Department so as to disarm the na
tion and weapon the rising rebellion, had ex
pected that Colonel Anderson, a Southern
man, Would carry out the Secretary's pur
poses in the interest of treason. When
that officer abandoned Fort Moultrie, which
he could not hold, and threw his little force
into Fott Sumpter, which he hoped to hold,
Floyd, whose corruptions were coming to
light, appeared in the Cabinet, raging and
storming like the balnixt conspirator he
was. He arraigned the president and
Cabinet, and charged theta with violating
their pledges to the Secessionists. The
President—poor, weak old man—trembled
mid grew pale. Then It was that Stanton
met the baffled traitor and his fellow con-
spiratois with a storm of fierce and fi ery _
denunciation. His words, voice, and tier-
j i npare said to haye been ip the highest cle
gree impressive, and those who knew the
men can well Imagine the thrilling moment
when tromon and loyality grappled in the
persons of such representatives. Floyd at
once resigned his commission, Blank away
from the office he had so.prustituted into
the rehellion, where be achieved neiter
credit nor success, and soon sank into an
obscui e and diabonored grave. Some time
afterwards Mr. Stanton drew up a full and
detailed account of that Cabinet scene. 1
was ead to Mr. Holt, and pronounced by
that geutletuau to be truthful and accurate.
It was in form of a letter to a leading Dem
ocratic politician of the city of New York,
but was never sent. It is hoped, however,
that fur the sake of history it may soon be
placed before the public eye.
To this noble fidelity of Udwin M. Stan_
too, sustained as it was by the patriotism
and courage of Joseph Holt and John A.
Dix, the country is largely indebted for its
preservation from the perils which then en
v ironed it, and for the transmission of the
Goveinmeut into the hands .of the incom-
ing Administration."
AN ASTONISHED Couwr.--A few days
ago, says the New Orleans Picayune,
an old lady and a young one found
themselves Ih court, charged with dis
turbing the peace.. The officer's state
ment was clearly given, and certainly
disclosed an equal culpability in boat,
It was evident:, however, that the couit
inclined a favorable judgment to the
youngest, and the scales of justice were
rapidly tipping in her favor.
"Why 014 you souse this young
lady ?" the magistrate demanded of
the old one.
"I Lad a right to," was the calm re
ply.
, "What Was she doing ?"
"Keeping company with a very Im
proper eharaew,"
"And what's that to you 2' l
' l tAhe's my daughter."
"Oh, Indeed I and you think the
person an improper character?"
"I do, sir."
"Do you know who he was?"
"I don't know his name. I've seen
him prowling about after night."
And then, as if aotuatod by a sadden
Impulse, the old lady adjusted her
spectadles, peered curiously at the
court from under hergreen sunbonnet,
and then exclaimed :
"Good luck ! good luck 1 Why you're.

"Me ! me!" exclaimed the astonish
cal court "Me! woman, disi you sa l y .

Again the spectacles were adjusted,
and the curious gitse Prolonged, while
the old lady nodded her head at inter
vals.
"Yes, yes, it's the same ugly face.—
I'm sure of it; but I'll forgive you
this time ; forgive yoq."
And the old lady bobbled away,
/worth* the court piping with eaten-
Ishment and unable to interpose an
objection to her departure.

Mint Burr% writing from Birmingham,
England, to the New TOrit 2 W 61 06, gives
an interesting description of a religious
service and sermon among the coal miners,
twelve hundred feet below the surface of the
ground. After speaking of the descent into
the mines in company with the clergyman,
he says: -
As th e dinner hour approached, we made
our way to the plageof that rude and hasty
meal. It was at the junction of tip broad
passage with another at right angles, form
ing the chancel and transept or this uuder.
erorind Cathedral of St. Jonas. It was of
the
s old - tiothic order, both in shape and
material. Butments of round, unhewn tint
ber, supported a flat rootage of round
beams of old English oak, laid thickly in
their bark overhead. If a scene could be
photographed by candle light, what a plc
cure might have been brought up of that
eating and listening congregation There
sat in transept and 'chancel about eighty
men and boys, each with his lighted candle,
which he continued to hold, or placed up
right while he ate his bread and cheese or
bread and bacon. It was a bight not easily
conceived, even by an upsider ; bow much
more dif lcult. for him to diacribe It ! Poets
have dilated with reverent admiration upon
the "dim religious light" of grand cathed
rals. If one of them should undertake to
diecribe the pale and flickering illumination
which those short tallow candles shed 'over
that swarthy faced congregation squatted on
that rough, black pavement to their midday
meal and religious ministration, he would
have a theme that would test his genius het
ter than the tinted light of painted windows.
It would be a ri ;it study for an artist to
sketch the scene, with all its strange Bur - -
roundings, especially when the young pas
tor of the - thick arose and stooclun a bench
against the wall in front of the chancel, and
opened his Testament and read to thorn one
of its Gospel chapters. He closed the book
and spoke to them fur 10 or 15 minutes in
the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount. He
referred to the subject of a previous address
in which he had spoken of the rolling away
of toe stone from the grave of Lazarus, and
01 tne tames that must be rolled away from

Ignorance, vice, prejudice, passion and suf

did not Wink of it, nor did they, though /
could soaroely keep it out of my mind as
be went on with his simple, earnest dis
course. Shakespeare's vivid description or
the blacksmith listening to the tailpr's news
might have found a more telling subject In
the attitude and expression of the miners, as
they sat in that dim light, turning up the
large, deep whites of their eyes through
their red belts at the speaker, while they cut_
their bread into morsels and conveyed them

could keep his mane so upright, eat his
bread and cheese, and drink his small beer,
and still keep his eyes so fixed upon the

Mr. Beecher Is making a very lively pa
per of the Christian Union. Here is a
paragraph on behavior in church, which
bus secular application :
We may classify the petty incivilities of
churCh life thus:
I. Smells:—Violent perfumes, especially
those containloginusli, are disagreeable to
most persons, and to some positively
tressing. There is no smell so universally
pleasing as no smell. Never scent yourself
when going into a crowded assembly. The
Isame is true of the residuary smell of to
biceo which hangs about the garments and
afflicts the breath of those who habitually
smoke. But tobacco almost invariably
makes men sett-indulgent and regardless of
Jthers' convenience. More brutal yet are'
they wlu go to church reeking, like a
Dutchman's soup, with the smell of onions.
There are scores of people who have hist
all profit of a Sunday service by the sick
ening smells which surround them.
2. Sounds.—Whispering in church dur
ing the service is an affront to politeness.—
Much of the coughing which goes on in
church arises from the poisotious gases and
personal effluvia which exist in unventilated
churches. But the power of the will over
the muscles which do the coughing Is very
great. A heedless person will cough twice
as much as needful—will cough at the worst
time possible, will bough plump upon...the
necks of those before him, Instead em
balming the sound in his handkerchief as,
with a little skill and politeness, he might
easily do. We would not forbid men who
cannot sing to "make a joyful noise"—but
it should be a softy noise. In all cases
when it Is a man's duty to sleep in church,
it is his duty also to snare with the soft pedal
down.
3. SighL—Every one likes to. see the
minister. It cannot be done through your
body. True, you cannot help being before
somebody unless you are on the back seat.
But, with a little thought yon may very
much help those behind you. Any conduct
which shall divert the attention of others
from the service, such as ostentatious play
long with a watch or opening anti„rhutting
it, reading books or papers, looking about
inquisitively, is impolite.
Many churches have the Ten Command
ments set up upon the wall, in sight of the
whole congregation ; although not one of
the sins reprobated therein is likely to be
committed in church time. Would It not
be well to have another tablet enumerating
the sins which men are prone to commit in
church time?
[From th• Claw Post, lOth.
A WHOLE, FAMILY BURNED BY
GASOLINE
The oil fiend is sweeping away far more
victims than the cholera or small pox, and
still people take it into their homes and
play with it as if it were as harmless as
water. The most terrible casualty yet re
corded from this source occurred about
eight o'clock this morning, at the residence
of Benjamin F. Lanterman, a machinist,
No. 89 Robey street, near Van Buren.
Mrs. Lanterman was preparing breakfast
over a small gasoline stove, and her two
little girls, two and eight years of age, were
about her. It is probable that the heat was
not sufficient, and that she attempted to
pour more of the Bald upon the stove—at
any rate a terrible explosion took place,
and in an instant the mother and her child
ren were enveloped in flames. The father,
who" was up stairs, hear I thPir shrieks, ran
down, and folding his arms about his wife,
endeavored to extinguish the tire, but in
doing so was himself enveloped in the fiery
sheet, his clothinit, as well as that of his
wife and children, was nearly burned off, 1
and all were actually roasted attire. The
mother and the youngest child were so ter
ribly burned about the bead and body as to
be almost unrecognizable, and have doubt
less, ere this, been released from their agony
by death. The father and eldest child are
suffering dreadfully, but it is thought will
recover.
The neighbor hurried in on hearing the
cries of the sufferers, and rendered them all
heassistance in their power, but little could
be done. Mrs. Lanterman could give little
information as to the cause of the accident,
but the result was too evident. Is it not
time that these terrible Inflaminghie enemies
to hamlto lire and happiness were banished
from our midst?
TRAVELING ON THE MILE CANAL..-"H&1
10, there, Capting 1" said a brother Jonathan
to a captain of a canal packet, on the Erie
Canal, ."what do you charge for passage?"
"Three cents per mile, and boarded," %id
the captain.
"Wall, I guess I'll take passage, Capting,
seeing as bow I'm kinder gin eout, walking
so far."
Accordingly he got on board, as the
steward wan ringing -the bell for dinner.-
4 0 Pathan sat down, and began demolishing
the "fixins," to the utter consternation of
the captain, until he had cleaned the table
of all that was eatable, when he got up and
went on deck, picking his teeth 7ory com
fortably.
"gow far is it, Capting, from here to
where got on board?"
"Nearly one and a half miles," said the
captain,
"Let's see," said Jonathan, "that would
be just four and a halt cents; but never
mind, Captlng, I won't be small ; here's five
cents, which pays my fare to here, I guess
I'll go ashore now ; I'm kinder rested eout."

Prince Pierre Igraparte, who has caused
the pot to boil so fiercely, is a son of the
Great Emperor's brother Lucien; who was
considered the ablest of the family. next af
ter Napoleon. The present Emperor is
regarded-by many as not a Bonaparte at 'll i ,
but the to of a Dutch Admiral by Hortense
BeitlAbarnall, the daughter of Josephine.—
Louis Bonaparte was forced by his brother
to ujarry. Rosanne. He was ie love with
another woman and -withal a dreamy sort
of person. Those who believe in the opera
lion of a principle of poetic Justice running
the progress of history, make Mention of
the fact that the eandson of Josephine, and
not of Napoleon, now rules in France as
proof that the "whirligig of time brings in
his revenges." Josephine once said "My
progeny shall be supreme." But Josephirte 4t '
was not the only woman who was ill-used
by the Imperial Corsican. Nor was aho the
only one who cherished hopes of a divine
revenge through her descendants. Anil
hereby hangs a tale.
- In 1803, Jerome Bonaparte, then iu com
mand of a French frigate, landed in New
Yuck. As the brother of Napoleon Bona
parte., he was received with distinction, and
was most hospitably entertained wherever
he went. IYhile in Baltimore he met 3Ds
Elizabeth Patterson, the daughter of a
wealthy merchrut of that city, and married
her on the 24th of December of the same
year. The ceremony was performed by "
Bishop Carroll, of the Catholic Diocese of
Baltimore, a brother of the distieguidied
Charles Carroll, of Carrolton. The mtr
riagecontract was drawn up by Alexander
Dallas, afterward Secretary of the Treasury,
' and was witnessed by the Mayor of Bahl.
wore and several ether official personages.
After remaining in the United States about
a year Jerome Bonaparte and ins wife em
barked for France in an American ship.
In the meantime Napoleon, to whom the
marriage of his brother gave great offence,
had ordered that the newly married pair
should be permitted to land at no port over
which France exercised authority. They,
therefore ,landed at Lisbon, where Jerome
left his wife, directing her to proceed to
Amsterdam, and went to Paris with the
hope of prevailing upon Napoleon to re
cognize his marriage ; but this Napoleon re
fused to do, at the same time upbraiding his
brother for daring to marry without his coo:
sent. On arriving at Amsterdam, !thither
she went in the American ship, Madame
Bonaparte was confronted with Napoleon's
order forbidding her to land. She then sail
ed for England, where she took up her re•
sidence at Camberwell, near London. Anti
here, on the 7th of July, 1803, was born
her only child, Jerome Napoleon Bona
parte, now liviqg in Harimore.
Napoleon had determined that his broth
ers should marry among the princesses of
Europe, and all efforts to induce him to re
cognize the wife of Jerome wore vain, and
Jeronie was at last forced to yield to the
a ishes of be' Emperor and marry the
Princess Frederica Catharine, of Wedeln
burg. Madame Bonaparte met her husband
but once afterward, and then no word pass
ed between them. It was In the gallery of
the Pitti Palace at Florence, in Italy. The
Princess was leaning on the arm of her
husband when the meeting took place.—
Jerome started aside on recognizing Mad
ame Bonaparte, and a moment afterward
whispered to the Prktoess "That lady is my
former wife," Reimmeeilately left the gal
lery, and the next morning quitted Flor
ence.
Although Napoleon declared the marriage
of Jerome and Miss Patterson null and void,
se could never induce the Pope to so de
clare it, and a fewyeass ago, When the ques
don as to the rank to which the atanapartes
•4f Baltimore were entitled as Princes of the
Imperial household was up for decision, the
protest of the Pope against the decree of
Napoleon was lirought forward.
Soon after the birth of her son Madame
Bonaparte returned to Baltimore, where
she has principally resided ever sipce, tu
the enjoyment of a large fortune. She was
about eighteen years of age when she droll
met Jeroufa Bonaparte, and is now about
eighty five. She was always a great ad
mirer of Napoleon, in spite of the cruel
manner in which he treated her, lt is said
that she believes that her grandson will yet
be Emperor of France.
Madame Bonaparte's son, Jerome Na
poleon, now in his sixty-fifth year, has lived
in Baltimore since his boyhood. He was
educated at Harvard College, where ho
graduated in 182, He afterward studied
law, but never practiced at the bar. When
crate a young man he married a very
wealthy lady, Miss Susan Mary Williams,
originally of Roxbury, Mass., and has since
devoted his time to the management of his
large estate and to agricultural pursuits.—
Ens own fortune, added to that of his wifo,
made him one of the wealthiest men in
Baltimore. He visited his father several
times in Europe, and for many years re
ceived from him a large allowance. He Is
on good terms with Louis Napoleon, and
has once visited the French Court, accom
panied by one of his sons, upon an invita
tion from the Emperor. During the reign
of Louis Phillippe he was permittetl to re,
main in Paris for a short time, but was re
quired to assume hiS Mother's name of Pet
terSOn. '
Mr. Bonaparte hos Oro children, Jerome
Napoleon, who was bona in Baltimore in
5882, and Charles Joseph, born In 1852.
The first named graduated at West Point at
the age of twenty, and after remaining et
short time in the United States Army re
signed his omilmisslon and entered that of
France as a 'sub.iieuienant. Be was with
the French and English allies in the Crinea,
and received'A decoration from the Sultan
of Turkey - for his gallant conduct at the
siege of Sebustopol.
Mr. Bonaparte is said to bear a strong
personal resemblance to his uncle, the Aral
Napoleon. If the validity of his father 'a
marriage with Miss Patterson were re
cognized by the Court of France, it would
give him add his children precedence over
his hal-brothere and their sister, the
Pliect.as Mattalcle, the children of Jerome
by ittiS snood 'wife. Efforts to secure such
recognition have been made on perhaps
More than one occasion, but they tailed ;
