Tb correspondent of the N. Y. Herald says: Charles O’Neill, member of Congress from the Second Pennsylvania district, had quite a long interview with tbe President elect. During Ur. O’Neill's conversation with Grant some incidental allusion was made to the visit of Alexander Mc- Clure yesterday, when O’Neill assured Grant that it was a mistake to suppose that George H. Smart was not well known to the people of Pennsylvania. Grant smiled' and .temtd to treat the Idea as a good joke. He spoke in the warmest terms of Mr. Stuart, and said be regarded him as among his most intimate iiit-nde. He did not, however, give any farther indication of his purpose to offer Stnart a place in the cabinet. A report is nevertheless circulat ing abont tbe city uAday to tbe effect that in con versation with a certain gentleman last night Grant let the cat entirely out of the bag as regards ibis Stnart. This gentleman represents that he pnt the question plnmptly to General Grant ha to whether Stnart was really the coming man from Pennsylvania, and mat Grant answered uielinclly ‘‘No," that Stuart was not the incky or unlncky individual about to be honored. On the other hond it is confidently as serted, that Grant baa lord some of his, real inti mates that Stnart la hischoice... The people who nelieve the story say that Bishop Simpson, of ihe Methodist Chmcb, baa been Grant's prompter in tbe matter; that tbe Bishop is held In the high est esteem and reverence by Grant, aßd hits ven- to press the propriety of • Mr. Stuart's appointment updh him. It is farther stated that Grant himself favors BtnArt’s ment, believing that by selecting a man of Sm art's sound and religions standing he will array on his side at the very start the support of the religions sentiment of the country. Ido not pretend to vouch for this story, bnt give it sim ply as a piece of the current gossip. Bishop Simpson, who is also said to have exercised a potent influence over President Lincoln, la credited with having procured Harlan’s appoint ment as a Cabinet Minister. If this be true there may be some foundation for ali the gossip abont Stuart and Simpson. It is reported now that in conversations with Senators and Representatives the General has in timated that New England shall have one mem ber of the Cabinet, New York one, Pennsylvania one, Ohio one, Illinois one, and one shall be taken from the South. It is also stated that all tbe gen tit men who are to be tendered Cabinet positions >v ill be In tbe city on the Ist of March. tSis is what the New York Timej says: Your correspondent haß Gen. Grant’s au thority for stating that the words put into his mouth by the relator of the McClure conversation yesterday are not correct in one or two material respects. He is Dot correctly reported when he is made to say, “I am not the representative of a political party, though a party voted for me.” Gen. Grant’s questioner was trying to con vince him that because such a man as Geo. H. Smart had not been prominently identified with the political machinery of the Republican party, he was therefore not a proper person for > Cabinet appointment. To this Grant replied: 'The same objection applies to me. I have never been active in politics, but a party voted lor me,and I do not see why the party should not metain so loyal and patriotic a man as Mr. Stuart." It is proper to add that the assump tion that Mr. Stuart is Gen. Grant's selection from Pennsylvania, is the assumption ot those who cross- question him, and is not based npon anything General Grant has said. I learn on the authority of a gentleman who was present when this conversation occurred, that, referring in con clusion to Mr. Stuart. McClure said: "Well, General, I don’t know Mr. Stuart; you’ll have to introduce me to him.” To which Grant re plied, "Well, sir, yon didn’t know me three years ago." These reports of conversations are becoming a nuisance. Nearly every person who is vain enough to relate one, does it for the purpose of achieving notoriety. Such people promptly pnt thomselves in connection with representatives of the Press, and exaggerate their narratives by making tnomselves the central figure of the scene, and look ing at General Grant's utterances from their own stand-point instead of his. A prominent Senator who recently spent an hour with General Grant made this sensible and terse reply to acorrespon dent who asked him wbat happened at tho inter view. ‘'Nothing of importance to mnko public, and if it.was important it onght not Vo be made public." 1 The (treat Snow Storm iu Canada. The Toronto papers give accounts of the se* vere snow storm in Canada. The country from Prescott to Quebec has, during the past month, been visited by heavy falls of snow. Travel has been mnch impeded ana tho malls dostined for Toionto and Montreal have been greatly detained. On Tuesday a storm of unusual severity set in. The Grand Trunk train for : Detroit was snowed up at Llmehonse. The conductor hit upon a happy plan of causing the engines to run down upon the switch and have them dotnehed from the tenders in order to lessen their weight. This was done, and in a short time afterwards the train was pulled out from its bod of snow and tho pas sengers sent on their way rejoicing. After this tolerably good time was made, and Sarnia was reached abont. three hoars ana a half late. The •rajn fo , r tho East, which usually leaves" hero at 6.80 P. M., was'not sent out at all, as the heavy drifts on tho road would not admit of its making anything approaching headway. 1 , t On the Great, Western there was a considerable foil of snow, and trains were as much interrupted as on the Grand Trunk.' foU b4trps OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. Another Story, E9BOPEAB AFFAIRS Borne. An Interview With Liszt A correnpondent of tbo Now York Tribune. writing from Rome says: ... ■ fio'y is Borne tbe city of thojsout .

We first armed ourselves with a passport to his iu dnlgence. A , princess here is . the happy possessor of a. letter from the mother of Goethe; find this letter had been sent by a friend to my companion; and tbis’letter Liszt bad expressed a strong desire to see. With ibis “open sesame," then, in our hands, and, >n our hearts the trepldatlou of more than forty thieves, we started for the den of the great musician. Ten o’clock in the morning, we had been warned, was the propitious hour, and punctually we arrived at that spot among the old ruins of Rome, to which the residence of Liszt adds another interest, and -wilHcave-one more memory. —A few rooms in an old monastery contain himself and bis be longings; and, in one of these we waited and trembled, after having had ourselves announced as the bearers of an expected letter. Boon we saw him advancing from an adjoining room, and the next moment, as in a dream, -were receiving hla gracious and cordial welcome. We spoke of Alide Topp. Liszt langhed heartily when I told him that she had said to a friend in America: “When I leave Liszt, I shall belong to the Devil." He said that he had prophesied lor her a noble career, when he bad listened to her wonderful playing as a little girl, adding, “She is a pupil of Von BUlow—or rather Von Billow does not make pupils, he makes masters—and AUde Topp is one.” Our interview was short, for, on the next day, the lion was to leave Rome, and other visitors were in the little chamber, biding their time. Bnt we departed, treasuring in our heart his farewell word, “Why may we not meet again ? I shall return in April.” Liszt said to ne of his own great pnpil Sgambatti, “His is une dme d’eiife;” and now, having seen and beard Sgambatti, I recognize the force of his master’s enlogy. I talked to him of Liszt, asking if be wrote as much as formerly, and played as well. “Oh, yes!" was the reply, “his genins de velops more and more, new ideas each day; bnt be talks little of music; only exceptional -minds conld understand him.” Sgambatti is yonng, not more than twenty-two, short of stature, and with a very pleasing face, mobile, and fall of expression. He, 100, is one of the living lions of Rome, yet so modest In his whole bearing, and so simple, that there is a pe culiar and indescribable charm in his presence. I asked if he was ever embarrassed when playing in public? .He answered: “ Non! au conlrairele public mexulte.” Sgambatti plays wholly from memory, and from his sonL ITALY. .Reception ot tne Kingat Naples. . The Florence Official Gazette of the Ist says: The King, on arriving at half-past twelve in tbe day, was received at the station by the Prince and Princess of Piedmont, beside all the civil and military authorities, and a great number of ladles and' citizens'; His majesty proceeded to tho royal palace by the via Garibaldi, Eoria-- and Toledo, _in - -the -midst of an immense, crowd, which sainted him with the moati joyous acclamations. The troops of the earrieon .'and tho.Nalional Guard in great num bers 'formed d donble fine for the passage of the royal cortege. His Majesty, after having re ceived the authorities and constituted bodies, wltnessedlrom a balcony of the palace the filing off of the troops. In the evening hiß Majesty attended a representation at the San Carlo theatre, where his appearance was hailed by the repeated applause of tbe public. SPAIN. Isabella’s manifesto. The Paris journals a few days back pnblished a manifesto purporting to be addressed by Queen Isabella to the Spanish people, bat which was afterwards declared to be a torgery. At present the real document has made its appearance, and la thus worded: The Cortes illegally convoked, and for the most part elected by vlolont and fraudulent means, are abont to assemble on the invitation of four ambi tious men, who, having seduced the army and called even criminals to their assistance, suc ceeded in substituting, through the terror they inspired, their cowardly and disastrous tyranny for the Constitution they had nearly all sworn to defend, forjthe religion, laws, usages and customs of the country which they redneed to anarchy, and are ruining day by day. The moment has arrived when you, gentlemen, senators, and deputies of the legitimate Cartes and the entire nation—the impassive witnesses of so great a scandal—ought to hear my voice. The heiress of Pelagiußand Bt. Ferdinand cannot long regard such a spectacle without at least raising her voice in protest. Be it known, then, to all, that I protest in the moat solemn and cat egorlcal manner. I declare all that has been done or that is. about ‘being done null and void. I mean to keep intact my rights, of which I cannot be dispossessed by men who lay claim to powers which nohQdy but the Spirit of Darkness, which directs their acts, could confer npon them. Everyone Is now aware how they have been able to reduce. unhappy Spain to the sad condi tion in which she is at present. Thanks to tho tnmhltuons cries which proclaimed "a universal and sovereign will,” they have been onabled to substitute for the supreme power ol the sovereign united with the Cortes—the most ancient and the most legitimate public right in Spain—a theory us impossible In practice as it is deceptive in appearance. ; / Let us oil unite, then, to remedy the general anarchy, and let each' of us in our spheres of action doonr best in the name of God to prevent ihe lawß from being trampled underfoot; bad pas sions fomented* legitimate right annihilated, the temples of Jesus Christ overthrown. Ihe Prime Minister of Sreat Britain. Tho foremoßt man of England at this moment iB, undeniably, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, tho Prime Minister: of the realm. The latest nnmbor of the new comic weekly, Vanity Fair , contains a cartopn,’: in caricature of the great statesman and' orator, which is yet not so ex travagant; hut that it conveys an excellent idea of the outward man, us we may imagine him walk ing through the corridor of Parliament House on his way to.the debate in tho Commons. Awriterin the .March number of Putnam's Magazine gives ,a pen-and-iuk skotch of Mr. Gladstone, which carries with it such as assur ance of fidelity, and presents him so vividly to the mind, that we feel confidont it will be accept able to our leaders. Every outline is stronglv drawn. Tho writer says: •‘A brow broad, yet not possessing Webstorian massiveness; a swarthy complexion well har monising with earnest, deep black oyos, his face almost grim in its sternness, and deep cut with the lurrowa of care, thought—possibly with the indescribable anxieties .of ambition; a face pro claiming earnestness.and profound feeling abovo all other traits; df: middle height, the upper part of tho bpdy broad-built; thin gray hair and whis kers, the largo brain .discovered through the mengro locks; a fixedness of features which.as he sits there silent, seems undlsturbablo. Yet in tbo high midnight storm of forensic battle, w{heu stung by the sparkling, cold-blooded thrust of Disraeli s irony, that stern faco becomes the vlsi-* ble betrayer of grand and deep, and fast-,changing emotion. The features are Illumined by a burning expression of spirit and mental greatness. The stone-like grimness has given place to . a fire-ltke, Infections animation. Na ture has endowed Gladstone : with'' a Voice,' In sweetness,: strength and flexlbdlty far surpassing that of any living Englishman j an& he tsleldß It like a giant, overpowering with, ita moving and paesionate tremor the’ more phleg matic smoothness and keenness of his rival. "HU! readiness and fluency make it not difilcult to In vest the driest subject with a Certain charm. I He isperbapa the first of orators who has succeeded in commanding the breathless attention of"a nsnaily restiera body, while for fonr mortal hours developing a financial scheme," Going on to speak more particularly of. Mr. Gladstone's oratory, the writer, with mnch dis crimination, tells ns : "The secret, above all; of Gladstone’s forensic power is perhaps best expressed by an English writer; it is ‘the belief . that his eloquence is ani mated by- prlnelpleTand-conacience-sr-well-as high intellect,’ which, though U may seem to be long to the debatable ground of politics, is undoubtedly held by 81s party. His forensic powers extend, apparently, throngh the whole list of the various arts which go to make up the model orator. He is never, at a loss for words; bo debates on a suddenly-raised issue with as much fluency as ho delivers a prepared speech; with even more, for In an extempore harangue he is far more diffuse and elaborate than in his labored addresses. His aptness and alike from the experience of every day, tho home ly topics of the street, and from the choicest de scriptions and epigrams of classical lore, amaze yon,as he passes from oae branch of his subject to another, now staying to indulge in a choice flight of rhetoric, now hurrying lmpetnohsly to his climax. The inexhaustible wealth of his lan guage is equally notable; the vast stores of his information scarcely less so. Hla elocution is unmatched in England; his delivery is of so gen uine,'earnest, natural a ring, as to tenfold en hance the power which Is won by his other qualities. The additional gr-ce of a keen wit and a genial hnxnor seems, however, to be wanting. He cannot cope with Disraeli In the dry brilliancy of hla retorts, nor can he equal far Inferior men—Bemarl Osborne, for exam ple—ln a continuous stream of airy and ludic rous humor. He is too earnest a man evi dently to stop and dally by tho wayside. He has no time, no room in his thoughts for meditating lively sallies, or provoking the cachl natory powers of the House. When he rises to speak, the Bonse knows that the treat Is to be of no laughable Bort—it is to be grand and dramatic, perhaps, but never farcical. Earnestness is the keynote of the man.

Extra Compensation Bill, Wan ing tbe tleriis In tlie Departments a Gratuity or Hore Itau a 311111011 o( Dollars, die, LCorrcspondence of the Fhtla. Evening Bulletin.] Washington, Feb. 26, 1869 The announce ment to-day, from several quarters, that Gen. Grant had stated positively to different parties that Geo. 11. Stuart,Esq., would not go into the new Cabinet from Pennsylvania, has set the poli ticians all at sea again, for it seemed to be eon ceded that Mr. Stnart was to be the chosen man. It was reported to-day, but I am nnable to state upon what authority, that a position in the Cabinet was ten dered to Mr. Stnart, but that it was declined on account of ill health, Mr. Stnart being subject to the asthma, and his friends fearing that the ex citement of a position like that of the Secretary of the Treasury would prove too much for his strength. Be this as it may, it is as good as set tled that be will not be thamon to represent yonr Slate in the Cabinet; and everybody is exercising the privilege of “guessing” icko the man will be, and considerable betting is going on by the friends of different parties It iB the opinion of clear-headed men that Pennsylvania will have a representative, Now York one, Ohio one, New England one, and one south of Mason and Dixon’s lino, which makes flve, leaving two others to be selected from other parts of the conntiy, one of whom will probably be taken from the Pacific coast. In a few days it will be settled who arc to be chosen, and in the meantime it is useless to waste time in prognos ticating, or mentioning names of men who have not the ghost of a chance ot being selected. THE 10 PER CUNT. EXTRA COMPENSATION BILL. When this bill was before tho House this after noon, Hon. Charles O’Neill made a determined effort to have adopted an amendment extending the increased compensation to the letter-carriers and clerks in the Philadelphia Post-offloe, but tho House, without a division, ruled it out. The bill then passed, 87 ayes to 80 noes, giving the clerks, messengers, die., of all the departments hero 10 per cent, additional compensation for the presont and next succeeding fiscal year. It has yet to pass the Senate, and will have a trying ordeal in hat tody. This is one of the most unjust mea sures ever passed by tho House, and tit-accords with the professions of retrenchment and reform made before and since the last election. If enacted into a law, it will take a million and a half of dollars from the Treasury, to be p&ld to men and women who are already better paid for their labor than any others doing the same amount of labor in any part of the country. There is no reason wny the same payments should not be made to Government clerks and employes in post-offices, custom houses and navy yards ail oyer the country. The success of the clerks will encourage the printers at the Government Printing-office in demanding an increase of their pay, which they cun ask with the same propriety, notwithstand ing they have succeeded in having hours of labor reduced from ton to eight, with the same wages as they were paid formerly for ten hours’ labor. Every member of Congress voting for this monstrous extravagance should be marked by his constituents, from whom every dollar of, this increase is exacted from the productive classes of the whole country in oppressive taxes.
