The (Question of Onncrslilp.
There &eem te be two persons In tlie
state who are disputing the ownership of
the Republican party between them.
Messrs. Quay and Magee appear te Ikj that
party. They nre gentlemen hailing from
the Southwestern corner of Pennsylvania,
a.nd heretofore liave been as clobe allies in
their political work, as they liave been
neighbors in their residence. A dissolution
. of their partnership lias eccuned, and each
Is undertaking en his own account the dlc-
.tatlen which -they lmve heretofore as
sumed In common. Their paity leeks
with placid interest upon the deter
mination of the question ns te which of the
two owns it. It does net think of revolt
ing against the assumption that it must
have a boss.
In tliis regard it shows a striking differ-
j'PSj ence from the Democratic party, of which

of its members of a disposition te claim its

a candidate for treasurer, te provide him
elf a saddle with which te sit upon
his horse. If he was a Demecr.it
the sight of the saddle would keep him
from ids mount. The Republican party
likes te be ridden; the Democratic party
does net. Mr. Quay knows his beast and
doubtless judges cencctly that it will help
him in his aim te control the party te pre

Rarey.
ltcncli, Press and People.
Our esteemed contemporary, the jYciu
Era, seems te be unduly exercised ever the.
alienatieaau our amiable friends, the
... judges of the Lancaster county court. AVe
beg te assure it there is no occasion for
serious concern. In the first place neither
of the judges is as proije te say hard tilings
about the newspapers and their editors, as
he is te disparage his colleague ; and a
court that does net respect its own mem
bers must net be judged tee haishlyfer
failing te properly respect the newspapers.
It may be true, as ourcentemporary sug
gests, that " tliere is a lu.uked line of
identity running between the pi ess and the
bench in their obligations te tlie public;"
but theie is no such close association bc
twejn them as it intimates when it declares
it te be the duty of the preas te " expose
and denounce the immorality and crime
which the court and jury are expected te
suppress, or at least te punish," te which
end the judges and the newspapers must
" understand eacli ether " and, " arrayed
"against each ether, they Income self-tie-
tructive."
The duties of the pi ess and bench are net
joint; they are net te hunt crime in
couples, at all. On the ether hand their
functions are separate and distinct ; and it
is the right and duty of the newspaper te
examine, criticise and if needs be condemn
the conduct of judges just as much as that
of any ether public servants. Nearly all
thptrouble that tlie court here gets into
arises from a misconception of its duties,
from its' neglect te duly attend te its own
business, and its propensity te meddle in
nffairs that de net belong te it.
In tlie somewhat memorable case where
in one of our judges with tlie assent of the
ether, disbarred two attorneys for what
their newspaer had said of the court, in a
case determined and ended, ami with which
the relaters had no professional connection
Chief Justice Sharswood very clearly de
fined the rights and duties of lliebar and
press with relation te the elect of the people
tesit en the bench. He said:
Jt is new umler the olectivo Hystein the
right and tlie duty oralawyer tebrlng te the
notice of tlie poepio vhe olect thej uilgus every
instance of whnt he believes te be corruption
or partisanship. Ne class of tlie community
ought te Ih nllowed freer scepe in tlie expres
sion or publication of opinions us te the capa
city, impartiality or integrity of judges tliim
members et the bar. They liave the best ejk
pertunitles of observing and forming a cor
rect Judgmeiit. They are in constant attend
ance upon courts. Jfundrcils of these who
are ciilleil en te vote never enter a court
house, or if they de it is only at intervals an
Jurers, witnesses or parties. Te say that nu
w attorney can only act or speak en this sub
ject under liability te be called te account
Nand te be deprived or his profession nnd livo live livo
lieod, by tlie very Judge or Judges whom he
considers it his duty te attack and oxpeso, 1
a position tee monstrous te be entertained for
a moment under our preseut system.
' TVbat is true of the attorneys is of ceurse
dually true of the newspapers; and it is
their right and duty te "oxpeso every in.
. . - ance"iu which they have reasoiue ijues
I ,, tien the " capacity, Impartiality or integ-;-4;ityef
judges." And in the oxercise of
.Ixy with proper discretion they aie
responsible te the public, and net te the
judges.
But it docs net fellow from any of this,
as the New Era apprehends, that tlie press
can destroy the usefulness of the ceutt by
unjust assaults upon it, or that the court
uai power te destroy public confidence in
the press by withholding favor from it;
nor that " their own satisfaction " or " the
interests of society require them te be in
sympathy with eacli ether.'
A corrupt or malicious press cannot
seriously injure an enlightened and upright
court; a weak nnd arrogant court, that
jacks popular respeci and commence, can-
3t impair an honest and fearless news
jtaper: Each can injure itself far mera
than it can hurt the ether, by belittling
conduct nud by a transgression of its proper
functions. A self-resiectJng newspaper
Tflll find its ' own satisfaction" in differ
ing from rather than in agreement with
judges who are controlled by their personal
prejudices or meaner motives i and tlie
"Jjttterwta of society " require thut u jour-
n4 with due appreciation of its mission
should fee just m rwtdy te criticise a faltb
lean Juej m derellct official of lessdcgree,
rather than tlmt it be in " sympathy with
Ml
judicial stupidity or extra-Judlcftl offlcleua

Haw III Centltlencw Was llctrayeil Secretary
Stanten the Marplot of Lincoln' Adminis
tration Au Interesting Contribution te
the HUtery of the Itcbclllen.
The May number or The Century contains
soveral war papers, In addition te ethor In.
torestlng matter, but nothing se Important as
General McClellan's paper en 'The Penin
sular Campaign," in which he plnces the ro re ro
penslblllty for the failure of that campaign
very distinctly upon Secretary Stanten.
Frem this we make theso extracts :
Se long as Mr. Cameren Was secretary of
war I received the cordial support of that de
partment ; but when he resigned, the whole
state of affairs changed. I had nover met
Mr. Stanten befere reachlng Washington, in
1SU1. He at ence sought me and prefessed
tlie utmost persenal alfoctleu, the expression
of which was exceeded only by the bitterness
of his denunciation of the government and ita
policy. 1 was unaware of ids nppoiiitmentaH
secretary of war until after it had been miule,
whereupen he called te ascertain whether I
doslred him te aocept, saying that te de se
would invelve a total sacrillce of Ills personal
Interests, nud that the only inducement
would be the desire te assist me in my work.
Having no reason te doubt his sincerity, I
doslred him te accept, whoreupon he con
sented, and with great effusion exclaimed:
" New we two will save the country."
On the next day the president came te my
house te explain why he had appointed Mr.
Stanten without consulting me ; his reason
being that he supposed Stanten te be a great
friend or mine, and that the appointment
would naturally le satisfactory, and that he
foared that If I had known it beforehand it
would be said that I had dragooned him into
It.
The mere M-rlens difflcultics or my posi
tion began with Mr. Stanten's aocesxlon te the
wnrelllce. It at ence became very didlcult
te approach lilui, even for the transaction of
ordinary current business, nnd our persenal
relations at ence ceased. The impatlonceof
the executive immediately bocarne extreme,
and I can attribute it only te the lufluonce of
me new secretary, wue uni many tilings te
break up the Ireeand confidential intercourse
that had heretofore oxlsted between the
president nud mynelf. Thoceornmcntsojn
manifested great impatience in regard te the
owning el the Kaltimnre .t Ohie railroad
and the destruction or the Confederate bat
teries en the Potomac. The first object could
be icrmanently attained only by occupying
the Shenandoah Valley with a ferce strong
enough te resist nny attack by the Confeior Cenfeior Confeier
ato nrmy then at Manassas ; the second only
by n geueral advauce or the Army or the
Potomac, driving the enemy lck or the
Uapidnu. My own view was that tlie moe mee moe
menteftho Army of the Potomac from Ur-
Muna would accnmpllsli ikjui or inose
objects, by forcing the enemy te aban
don nil his poditlens and fall liack
en Richmond. I was tlicrofero unwilling
te I nler fore witli this plan by a prema
tura mUnuce, the eflecl of which must Ik
either te commit us te the merland route or
te mlnimize the advantages of the I'rbanna
movement. I w islied te held the enemy at
Manassas te the last moment IT possible un
til the advancement from Urbanua had actu
ally commenced, ler neither the reopening
of the railroad nor the destruction of the bat
teries was weith the danger involved.
ktanten'h ir.VAUTiiem.ni action.
The pesitive order of the president, preba-
niy iKsiieu niiiier ine prcssuroei inosecre'
tary of war, lorced me tmindcrlnke tboejion
lug of the railway. Fer this purpose. I w cut
teiiarpers i-crry in i-euruary, intending te
threw ever a ferce sulllciciitte occupy Win Win Win
choster. Te de this it was nocessary te hat e
a reliable bridge across the Potomac te en
sure supplies and prompt reinforcements.
The pontoon bridge, thrown as n preliminary
could net be absolutely trusted en
a river se liable te heavy freshets;
therefore it was dotermiued te con
struct a canal IkmI bridge. It was
discovered, however, when tlie attempt
was made, thut the lift-lock from the canal te
the river was tee narrow .for the lieats by
seme four or flve Indies, and I thcrefore de
cided te rebuild the railroad bridge, nnd con.
tent myseir with occupying Charleston until
its completion, iKstieiiing te the same time
thondviince te Winchester. I had fully ex
plained my intentions te the president aud
secretary Ijofero leaving Washington, pro
viding for precisely such a co&llngeucy.
While at llarper'8 Kerry I learned that the
president was dissaUslicd with my action,
and en reaching Washington I laid a full ex
planation Isifore the secretary, with which
no expresscd himself ontirely satlslled, and
told me that tlie president was already se,
and that it was unnecessary ler me te com cem com
munlcate with him en the subject. I then
proceeded with the proiaratiens necessary te
ferce the evacuation ofthe Potem.ie batteries.
On the very day appointed for the division
commanders te ceme te headiiuaitcrs te ro re ro
ceivo their final orders, tlie president
sent for me. I then learned that he had
received no explanation or the Har
per's Kerry allalr, nnd that the sec
retary was net authorized te make the state
ment already referred te; but- nfter my re
petition of it, the president became Tully sat
isfied with my ceurse. He thou, howevor,
said that there was another, "very ugly mat
ter" which he desired te talk about, and Hint
was the mevement by the lower Chesapeake.
IIe said that it had been suggested tliat I
proposed this mevement with the 'traitorous'
purpese or leaving Washington uncovered
and oxpesod te attack. I very promptly
objected te the coupling or any such adjec adjec
tlve with my purposes, whoreon he dis
claimed any intention of conveying the idea
that he expressed ills own opinion, as he
merely repeated the suggestions of ethors.
I then explained the purpese and effect of
fortifying AVashlngten, and, as I thought,
removed his apprehensions, but informed
him that the division commanders were te be
at tlie headquarters that morning, and sug
gested that my plans should be laid boujre
them, but they might glve their opinion as
te whether the capital would be onaangered ;
I nlse said that In order te leave them per
fectly untrammolled I would net attend the
meeting. Accordingly they met en the 8th
of March and approved my plans.
DKMOUAMZINO TUB AUMV.
On the same day was issued, without my
knowledgo, the erder rermlng army corps
and assigning thosenlor general olllcers te
their command. My own views wero that,
as the command or army corps involved
great responsibility and demanded ability or
a high erder, it was Barer te postpone their
formation until trial in the field had show n
which genenil olllcers could best perferm
these vital function. An Incompetent divi
sion commander could net often Joenardizo
thosafetyor an nrmy; whlle au unfit corps
cemmander could easily leso a battle and
frustrute the bost-cnncelved plan of campaign.
Ofthe four corps commanders, only ene had
commanded se much us a regiment in the
field prier te the Hull Kim campaign. On
the next day intelligence arrived that the
enemy was abandoning his positions.
I cressed te the Virginia slde te ro re ro
celvo information mero promptly and
docide upon what should be dena
During the night I determined te ndvnnce
the wiiole army, te take advantage of any
opportunity te strike the oneiny. te break up
the permanent camps, glve the troops u little
oxiierloneo en the march and in bivouac, get
rlil orextra bagguge, and test tlie working or
the stall-dopartuientfl. irthis wero dene at
all, it must be dene promptly and by moving
the troens bv divisions, without waiting te
form the army corps. Accordingly, I tele
graphed te the socretary, explaining the state
of the case and asking authority te postpeno
the army corps formation until tiie comple
tion of the luovemenU The reply was an
abrupt and unreasonable refusal. I again
telegraphed, explaining the situation aud
throwing tlie responsibility upon the secre
tary, wneroupeu uogave way.
Meanwhile, as far back as the 27th of Pob Peb
ruaiy, orders had been given for collecting
the transportation nocessary te carry out the
Urbannt. movement. This conclusion had
been reached alter full discussion. On the
i!7th of January had been issued the presi
dent's general war order Ne. 1, directing a
general movement of the land aud naval
lerccs against the enemy en the 22d of Feb
ruary, On the tllst of January wasissued
the president's special war erder Ne. 1, di
recting the Army of the Potomac te advance
te the attack of Manassas en the tM of Feb
ruary. The president, howevor, permitted
me te state my objections te thlserdcr, wiileh
I did, at leiigth, in a Jetter of Februar3, te
the secretary or war. As the president's
order was net insisted upon, although never
formally revoked, it is te be assumed that my
letter produced, for a time at least, the do de do
sleod ellecL When Manassas was abandon ed
and the enemy was behind the ltapldan, the
Urbanua mevement lest much of Its premise,
as the cueiuy were new In position te reach
M'GLELLAl
JlUchmeed before we could de se. Tlie alter
native remained of making Fortress Menreo
and Its vicinity the base of operations.
The. question new arese an te the line of
operations te be allewed I that of the James
en the one hand, and, en tlie ether, the line
from White llouse en a base, crossing the
Upper Cblckabemlny.
HF.INFOltOKMENTS WITH Hl:l,I).
The army wm admirably placed for adept
S1
ing elther, nnd my doclslen was te take that
or the James, operating en either bank as
might preve advisable, but always preferring
the southern. I had urgently asked for
rolnfercerncnls te cotne by water, as they
would thus be equally available for cither
line of operations. The destruction or the
Morrlmea en the Iltli or May had opened the
James rlver te us, nnd it was only after that
date that it became available. Mv nlaii.
howevor, waseiianged by orders from Wash
ington. A telegram of the 18th from the
secretary of war informed me that McDowell
would advance from Fredrlcksburg, nnd di
rected me te extend the right of the Army
or tlie Potomac te the north or Richmond,
Inorder te establish communications with
him. The same order required me te supply
his troens from our depots at Wiilte
Heuse, ilorein lay the fullure of the cam
paign, as it necessitated the division or the
army by tlie Chlcknhenilny, nnd caused
great delay In constructing practicable
bridges across that stream ; while If I had been
aid e te cress te the James, reinforcements
would have reached me by water rapidly
and safely, the army would have been united
and in no danger of having Its flank turned,
or Its line or supply Interrupted, and the
attack could liave been much mere rapidly
puslied.
Ne praise can le tee great ter the olllcers
and men who passed through theso seven
days or baltle, enduring faligue without a
murmur, succesfmillv nicotine and rrnelllug
every attack madoupen them, always in the
right place at the right time, nnd emerging
from the fiery ordeal a compact nrmy of vet
erans, equal te any task that brave and dis
ciplined men can be called upon te under
take. They n ceded new only a few days or
woll-earned repose, a ronewal of ammunition
nud supplies, and reinforcements te fill
the gajw made in their ranks, by
no many dosjierato encounters, te be
prepared te advauce again, with en
tire confidence, te meet their wettliy
antagonist In ethor kittles. It was, how hew how
ovor. derided by the authorities Bt Wash
ingten, against my earnest remenstrances, te
abandon the position en the James, nnd tlie
campaign. The Army or the Potomac was
accordingly withdrawn, and it was net until
years later mat it again leunii lweu miner
