FROM JOHNSON TO GRANT.
Before another number of the By MIST' N
appears, Andrew Johnson will have ceased to
be President of the United States. There is
cause for joy in this simple fact. But there
:1 SIM greater cause for joy in the fact that
wben Andrew Johnson's Presidency ceases,
tßysses S. Orant's begins. There have been
ehanges of administration total, so far as
party politics are concerned, several times in
the history of the American Republic. But
the outgoing man has, heretofore, in each of
such changes, possessed a certain amount of
moral, or personal, or social, or offic...ial
dignity, which has preserved for him a toler
able show of-respect even from his political
opponents. Buchanan, even with the
obloquy of the rebellion on his shoulders,
arid with the shame of the treason
•of hie chosen cabinet ministers and his special
friends inCongress, resting partly upon him,
retained, •when ho retired, a certain kind of
friendly regard on the part of no inconsider
able portion of the American people. Ho
was allowed to figure side by side with the
great, good, honest and now martyred mw,
Abraham Lincoln, in the pageant of the in
anguration of 1861, and, although his weak
messes and faults were conspicuous, he was,
even in retirement from public life, spared
, iiraoy reproaches. He would have been
spared more, but for hie foolish friends, who
were continually dragging him before the
public, and his own foolish vanity,that drove
Lim to publish a weak attempt to justify his
course
Probably, however, no President, before
Buchanan, ever went out of office retaining
so little of the affection and respect of the
people of the United States. But the man,
?whose last day as President has now arrived,
is so absolutely unloved and unrespected,that
air. tiluchanan's rank in the estimation of the
.public seems exalted and dignified. There
Intim been two instances, prior to Johnson's ,
,of a Vice-President's becoming Presiden t
through the death of the man elected. in
.each case the nation suffered, and the man
supposed to be the fortunate inheritor of the
office, .came to be considered not in the leas
;fortunate or enviable. Tyler, as the successor
,of 'Harrison, was a disgrace that was not
Wholly wiped out until the institution of
slavery,for which he betrayed the people that
elected him, was abolished. Fillmore, as the
successor of Taylor, was rated higher than
Tyler, until, in the time of his country's
stronbies after 1860,he toadied to the Northern
irtibmissionists, the extreme peace men, the
ultra conservatives, who wanted to sacrifice
the commonest principles of virtue, morality,
honesty and manliness for the sake of pre
B ening to the genteel oligarchy of the South
their slaves and the States rights doctrines
by" which they made those slaves available to
them in the politics of the country. Mr.
Fillmore has been kindly treated by the party
that he deserted when Andrew Johnson was
shumming up for a party, two or three years
age. But no one can deny that he has lost
the respect and confidence of ninety- nine oat
at orea hundred who used to like him, and
be 'icier again could obtain the votes of even
A small fixation of the public for any office he
might covet. From Fillmore to Andrew
Johnson is a long step downward ; but the
succession of Vice-Presidents become Presi
dials has to be maintained in an article like
thht,suedl, le a happy thing for the gentleman
from New York that the third of the list is
so very far down in the scale of statesman
ship, patriotism, dignity and honor, that his
very moderate distinction becomes quite
glorified by the oinriparison.
To-morrow we go from Johnson to Grant.
The confidence that the people of the United
states have in the man they have chosen for
President is even greater than •it was when
they voted for him. It is greater than the
confidence they reposed in him when he
headed their armies in Virginia, and when,
amid all sorts of reverses, delays and difileul
tio, they still felt that he was sure to suc
ceed. He has a task before him now that
MD he must acknowledge to be diltl hit,
Be has no armed foe to watch and attack.
But he has a great country to pacify and to
harmonize, and this he proposes to do by de
cided yet pacific measures. He has, outside
cf his constitutional duties as executive, the
dificult work of resisting a pressure from
thensande of ° politicians, each of whom
ehinhe he has the right to advise
MEI
and direct ' him. He has to discrim
inate between the really honest, disinterested
and ineritoriouti men Who seek to advise him,
and the much larger class that crowd around
hiin for selfish Purposes: Be has to select
from Myriads, a few to fill the offices he has
to tiestow, and in, this selection he, as a man,
of conscience,,finds not the least of the alfil-
Culties that beset him. But Grant, in all his
military career, has been noted , for his intel
ligence in choosing men to assist him. We
believe he will he found no less intelligent in
choosing his assistants in his exalted civil po..
sition. 80, without presuming to offer ad
vice where none is needed, we are sure that
he and his cabinet officers will give satisfac
tion to the great body of the Americas' peo
ple, who will join us in wishing bifa God
speed in his great work, and invoking for
him God's blessing as he goes on in it, and
God's best reward when he has completely
finished it, as we believe he will, to the
honor and glory of real Republican princi
ples.
GLADSTONE ON TUE 1111811
Eli (MOM
The British premier has introduced in the
House of Commons a measure in regard to
the established Protestant Church in Ireland,
in accordance with the presumed views of
the constituents of the present Parliament.
He entitles it "a bill to disestablish the Irish
Church, to make provision for its temporali
ties, and to disendow the Royal College of
St. Patrick at Maynooth." In his speech on
presenting the bill Mr. Gladstone explained
that it was intended to go into effect January
let, 1871. Commissioners are to be appointed
for ten years to guard the property of the
church. In the meantime, all appoint
ments for , the Mar Church- are
to be made without freehold, and
no money is to be expended for perma
nent purposes. Ecclesiastical courts and the
rights of bishops to the peerage will be
abolished. St. Patrick's, in Dublin, and
eleven other cathedrals, will receive grants
from Government as national property. Ec
clesiastical corporations will be dissolved; the
clergymen losing places will receive life an
nuities. Church buildings, no longer re
quired, will be banded over to a Board of
Works, and burial grounds to the Guardians
of the Poor. The Catholic College at May
nooth and the Presbyterian Colleges will re
ceive grants of capitalized sums of motley,
instead of their annual grants. The value of
the church property is estimated at £16,500,-
000, of which £8,000,000 will be appro
priated to compensation, and the rest for the
relief of the Irish people in various wayds.
These are some of the principal points in
'he important measure introduced by the
British Ministry, to which Mr. Disraeli has
taken the first opportunity of announcing his
opposition. The debate on It is expected to
begin on the 18th day of March, the day after
St. Patrick's day, when it is probably fancied
that the benign influence of Ireland's patron
saint may still be felt among Protestants as
well as Catholics. The measure seems, to
literal minded Americans, to be a very just
and proper one, though no judgment can be
dieted, at this distance, in regard to all its
details. People in this country have always
regarded a union of State and Church as un
just, and it seems especially so in Ireland,
where the people professing the faith of the
established church are but a small
portion of the whole population. A
very large proportion of the "wrongs of
Ireland" are to be traced to the church
establishment, and this once peaceably
dissolved, the main motive and strength o f
Fenianiem will be removed, and the people
may become contented once more under
British rule. The debates on the Gladstone
bill will be among the most interesting heard
hi the British Parliament for many years, and
they will be looked far with cariosity in this
country. Of course no one can fail to see
that if the measure is carried, it will be an
entering wedge for the disestablishment of the
Church of England, and many may oppose
it on this ground, while admitting its justice
as applied to Ireland. But liberal views have
advanced so amalsingly in Great Britain of
late years, that one cannot help anticipating
the near approach of the time when church
and state will be totally separated throughout
the dominions of the British sovereign. This
proposed step in Ireland is the most important
yet taken towards the consummation of the
great work.
The Tennessee papers are engaged in dis
cussing the future of Andrew Johnson, and
they seem to agree in the opinion that he will
endeavor to continue to take an active part
in politics. The Democratic papers, parti
cularly, are enthusiastic in their descriptions
of the manner in which Mr. Johnson will
return to the United States Senate Chamber,
and, from behind hie desk, thunder forth
against his enemies that indignation which
has hitherto found comparatively decorous
expression in his veto messages. Now there
is some room for difference of opinion upon
the question of Mr. Johnson's future career.
We have not the slightest doubt that he
desires to continue upon the political stage,
and will do so if he possibly can. But after
twelve o'clock to--morrow Andrew Johnson
will be just about the most insignificant and
uninfluential politician in the United States•
While he retained his position and power
flatterers and admirers were not wanting:
But for some weeks past most of them have
turned to worship the rising sun; and when
the great Accidental merges into the plain
citizen, there will be very few who will not
regard him as an entire, disgraceful failure;
as a man who lost the respect of one party
by selling himself to a faction by whien he
was equally despised.
I 1 1 We do not believe that he is popular even
with the rebel element in Tennessee; and it'
he is, we do not perceive how he can contrive
his election to the Senate by a Legislature
which has just sent Brownlow to that body,
and which promises to continue to be strongly
Republican. Possibly Mr. Johnson calcu
lates upon taking the stump upon his return
home, and by revolutionizing public opinion,
managing to obtain a majority of his political
friends iu the next Legislature. If so, he cer
tainly miscalculates his powers of persuasion.
The loyal men of Tennessee have the upper
band at the present time, and as they aro not
likely to be seduced from: the Republican
party by the man who made those famous
l'kloses" speeches 'to them years ago, and
=mum

then repudia is own wor Nit is pronitne
that Mr. Johnson i will find his irdluence
_to be
very' ftterti'le Xldermtitee ode
vacant, he may perchance manage a borough
election in his;-favor, and slip into it. He
can then descend the scaleas regularly as he
ascended le; 'and finals; take Atimaelf to
shears, P3ad - irone: • and slaw-hammer
jackets again.. After all, this to his true
sphere. He has failed lamentably, ever
since he left the shop-board; and the best
thing he can do, for himself and his country,
will be to cross his legs upon It again, and
exercise himself on tight fits. Certainly his
roar& to public life will be a subject of uni
versal regret.
Pardoning traitor* pirates, counter
feiters, defrauders of the revenue, and crimi
nals of all kinds, hag been the chief business
to which the President of the United States
has been devoting himself lately. A general
amnesty to every offender against the United
States laws has been suggested as an appro
priate document by which Mr. Johnson may
signalize the last day of his life as President
of the United States. Such a paper would
not surpass in monstrosity many others of his
°facial acts, and it may appear before this
paper goes to press. In the meantime the
question arises: Who will pardon Andrew
Johnson ?
Hon. Edward McPherson, Clerk of the
House of Representatives, has been nomi
nated by a flattering vote in the caucus of
Republican members of the new house, and
he will of course be elected. This is a very
proper recognition of faithful and efficient
service. Mr. McPherson's performance of
all the important duties of Clerk of the House
has been such as to secure for him the respect
even of political opponents, while the mem
bers of his own party have also been fully
satisfied with him. No man in the country
is better fitted for the office or better deserves
it.
A petition has been prepared and sent to
the Legislature by members of the bar of
Philadelphia, in favor of a law to allow per
sons to testify in suits in which they are par
ties. The petition is printed in another col
umn, and it is so short, comprehensive and
forcible, that it may be easily understood and
will receive consideration. Only a few fo
gies, in and out of the Leeislature, have here
tofore resisted this reform, and it is now time
for them to yield and pass such a law as
prayed for.
Gopsill's Philadelphia City Directory for
186) is just issued, and a` ,far as we cau
judge, is as full and correct as it is possible
to make such a work. Its bulk is reduced
by the publication of the "Business Direc
tory" in a separate volume of nearly 300
pages. Both volumes should be in the pos
session of every mac of business.

Neither treadle nor saddle ;
It is built in such shape
That you don't have to straddle.

Takes hold with his hands
Of two parallel bars,
And on the ground stands ;
Puts his feet then in motion,
One after the other,
While the vehicle goes
Without any bother.
This funny machine
Has no painting or gilding :
It is useful to carry
Material for building,—
Shingles and shavings,
Bricks, lime, and plaster,—
And, the lighter the load,
It can travel the faster.
It is better than "Bicycle,"
For it isn't so narrow,
And our " Wheelocapede "
We will call a " Wheelbarrow !"

and amid the close attention of the Rouse, ten

Mr. Pomeroy, of New Yerk, was then elected

passing through this State was to-day passed by

[The general tenor of this bill is described In a
letter from our Trenton correspondent in another
column.
Fortieth Congress—Third erasion.
Wasumarox, March 3
Hones.—The House met at 10 o'clock, with an
unusually large attendance of members, and with
the galleries crowded to their utmost capacity.
After prayer, a message was received from the
Benete, stating that that body had passed the
Legislative and Post Office Appropriation bills.
On motion of Mr. Spalding, the amendments
were non-concurred In and a committee of con
ference asked for.
The Speaker, then, in the mieat of profound
silence, rose and delivered his farewell address to
the House, prefacing it with the announcement
that he had asked the gentleman from lowa to
preside as Speaker pro tem. until the election of
his successor. He said :
Genaernese—The opening of this legislative day,
at the does of which I must enter upon another
sphere of duty, requires me to tender to you this
resignation of the office which, by your kindness
and confidence, I have held—to take effect on the
election of a Speaker fur the brief remainder of
this session.
The parting word amongst friends about to
separate is always a regretful one, but the fare
well which takes me from this hall, in which so
many years have been spent, excites' In me emo
tions which it would be useless to attempt to
conceal.
The fourteen years during which I have been
associated with the representatives of the people
here have been full of eventful legislation, of ex
citing issues, and of grave decisions, vitally af
fecting the entire republic. All these, with the
accompanying scenes, which so often reproduced
in this arena of debate the warmth of feeling of
our antagonizing constituencies, have passed
into the domain of history; and I but refer to
them to express the Joy, which apparently is
shared by the mass of our countrymen, that'tbe
storm-cloud of war, which so long darkened oar
national horizon, at last passed away, leaving
our Imperilled Union saved; and that by the de
cree of the people, more powerful than Presi
dents, or Congresses, or armies, Liberty was
proclaimed throughout the land to all the in
habitants thereof.
But I canneot leave you without one word of
rejoicing over the present position of oar repub
lic amongst the nations of the earth. With our
military power and almost illimitable resources,
exemplified by the war that developed them; with
our rapidly augmenting population, and the wel
come at our gates to the oppressed of all other
slimes; with our vast and increasing agricultural,
Mechanical, manufacturing, and mineral capaci
ties; with our frontage on the two great oceans
of the globe and our almost completed Pacific
Railroad uniting these opposite shores, and be
coming the highway of nations, the United
States commands that respect among the powers
of the world yvhich insures the maintenance of
all Its national rights and the security of, all its
citizens from oppression or injustice abroad.
Nor is this all. The triumphal progress of
free institutions here has had its potential indu
ctive beyond the sea. The right of the people to
goVeill, bated en the sacred prilleipie of our
Revolution, that till OVernelents derive their
just powers tote the consent of the governed, is
everywhere advancing, not with slow and, mea
sured Mops, but.with a rapidity that, within a
few yeare, has been so signally illustrated in
Great Britain Spain, Italy, Prussia, Hungary,.
and other lan ds. May we not all hope that, by
the moral but powerful force of our example, let
tem may everywhere be broken, and that some
of ns may live to see that happy era when
slavery and tyranny shall no more be known
throughout the world, from the rivers to the
ends of the earth ?
1 cannot claim that, In the share I have had In
the deliberations and the legislation of this House
arm member and an officer, I have always done
that which was wisest and best in word and in
act, for , none of us aro infallible. But that I have
striver; to perform faithfully every duty, and that,
devoted, as all know, to principles that I have
deemed correct, the honor and glory of our coun
try have always been paramount, and above all
party tics, I can conscientiously assert; and that
'tare sought to mitigate the asperities which the
collielon of opposing parties so often evoke, must
be left to my fellow-members to verify.
In the responsible duties of the last six years,
I have endeavored to administer the rules you
have enacted for your guidance, both in letter
aud in spirit, with an impartiality uninfluenced
by political associations and antagonisms. And
I may be Pardoned for. the expression of gratifi
cation that, while no decision has been reversed,
there has been no appeal, sometimes taken as
they are by a minority as al protest against the
power under the rules .of a majority, which has
ever been deelded by a strjetly party vote. If,
.
In the quickness with which a residing officer
here is often compelled to rule, hour after hour,
on parliamentary points; And in the performance
of his duty to protect all members ip their
rights, to advance the progress of public busi
ness, and to preserve order, any word has fallen
from my lips that has IneUy wouuded any one, I
desire to withdraw it unreservedly.
1 leave this hall with no feeling of unkindness
to any member with whom I have been associated
in all the yeara of the past, having earnestly tried
to practice that lesson of life which commands
us to write our enmities on the sand, but to en
grave our friendships on the granite.
Buttlie last word cannot longer be delayed. I
bid farewell to the faithful and confiding constitu
ency whose affectionate regard has sustained and
encomvassed me through all the years of my
public life; farewell to this hall, which in its ex
citeinents and restless activities so often seems to
represent the throbbing' and the intense feelings
of the national heart; and fleshly, fehow-members
and friends, with sincere gratitude for the gener
ous support you have always given me in the
difficult and often complex duties of this Chair,
and with the warmest wishes for your health,
happiness, and prosperity, I bid you farewell.
As the Speaker closed his address and retired
from the chair,there was a hearty outburst of ap
'
plause commencing in the galleries and extend
ing to the members on the floor.
Mr. Wilson (Iowa) took the chair as Speaker
pro. tern.
Mr. Woodward (Pa.) rose and said that at the
instance of his political friends, and as an expres
sion of his own feelings, he offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the retirement of the Hon. Schuyler
Colfax from the Speaker's chalr,after a long and faith
ful discharge of its duties, is an event in oar current
history which would cause general regret, werafitpot
that the country is to have the benefit of his mature
talents and experience in the higher sphere of lacy to
which he has been called by a majority of his country
men. In parting from our diatiognished Speaker, the
House records with becoming sensibility, its high ap
preciation of his skill in parliamentary law, of his
promptness in administering the rules and facilitqing
the business of the body, of his urbane manners, and
of the dignity and impartiality with which he has pre
sided over the deliberations of the House. He will
carry with him to his new field of duty, and tnrough
out the land, the regards of every member of this Con
gress.
The resolution was put and adopted unani
mously, and an engrossed copy of it, to be signed
by the officers of the House, was ordered to be
communicated to Mr. Colfax.
Mr. Dawes (Mass) then. by unanimous con
sent, moved that Mr. Pomeroy, of New York, be
declared Speaker of the House in place of Mr.
Colfax, resigned.
The resolution was agreed to unanimously.and
Mr. Pomeroy, amid general applause, was con
ducted to the chair by Meant. Dawes and Wood
ward.
The oath of office was then administered to him
by Mr. Dawes, the senior member of the House
in the absence of Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, who
is still detained from the House by sichneas.
Idr.Pomeroy,ln assuming the office of Speaker,
after thanking the House for the high compli
ment conferred upon him, said: "It has been my
pleasure for eight years to mingle humbly\ in the
proceedings of the House, and in retiring,as I ex
pect to do within a brief period forever, from all
official connection with the American Congress
,
I carry with me at least this gratification,that
all these years on this floor I have never received
from a member of the House one word of unkind
ness or an act of disrespect. The unanimity
with which I have been chosen to preside over
the House for this brief period is evidence of Its
own that carries with it no political significance.
I could, moat cheerfully, forego all of the power
and of the influence that attach to the position of
Speaker of the House; but there is a significance
beyond that which I can never forget,and that is
the personal consideration and great kindness
manifested toward me in my selection for even
this brief period." Renewed applause.)
On motion of Mr. Dawes, a message was sent
to the Senate announcing the election of Mr.
Pomeroy to the Bpeakership of the House, and a
committee of three was appointed to wait on the
President for the like purpose.
The joint resolution, which was before the
House at the time of the adjournment last night,
for printing the medical and surgical history of
the rebellion,eame up as unfinished business, and
was passed.

Batten 2 —The feature of Wall street today was the
develormeat of remarkable activity in the money mar
ket. Indications of approaching stringency were furnished
last evening In the sudden andsharp inquiry exhibited
for funds just previous to the close of banking hours, and
this hawing induced anticlpatious of a greater demand
te-day. hid the effect of prompttilng borrowers to go early
on the street to seek accommodations. Thus the market
opened with something of a flurry, and mown
was In large • roiliest at the legal rate. The
same cause which produced this demand
operating upon those who bad cash to put out caused
them to exercise some discrimination is making loans.
most houses, of course, be ing inclined to accommodate
their regular easterners fir In the delay consequent
epos this condition of things and the greater appearance
it produced of threatened stringency the rate on call
leans advanced from 'even per cent currency to (just
before the close of business) seven per cent. gold. one
eighth per cent. commission having in the mean
time been offered over and above the legal rate. Been'.
Meal transactions are reported at six on governments.
but the wirre'verr rare and to favored parties. There
can be little doubt that the activity in money L mainly
artificial and pert of the tactics of a new combination
formed to ' bear the stock lint. Between the period of
comparative ease Mat previous to this
gency and now there has been no 'efficient
cause for any such sudden change. In addition
the market LB being fiercely attacked by
the bears. and the attempt to create disturbance in the
money market is a well knownniece of strategy in con
neen op with such a movement, being always easy of so
compliance= on the peculiarly sensitive Macre of the
elements which make up "the street." The present ao.
tivity exhibits all the appearance of being thus brought
about. and will probably be merely temliorary. Prime
discounts have ranged from seven to nine nee cent.many
of the banks preferring to put out funds in this way to
oblige new customers than on call loans.
Following as a deduction from 'his monetary costive
rtes. as was no doubt designed. all securities were weak
today , and almost entirely in the hands of the bears.
Governments opened 'off" the closing quotations of last
night , and there being an unaccountable delay in the re
ceipts of derpatebes from Europe as to the state of the
bond market there. which had a depreaeing effect, con
tinued during the morning weak and dull. The decline
was further helped by despatches from
Washington respecting the action of the /tome
upon the Senate amendments to the Schenck bill. it being
reported that they would not be concurred in. At the
noon board further advice! from Warhington Minting its.
f ormation of the appointment of a conference committee
and assurances that the bill would likely pass the denote
without amendments, the market rallied and prices ad
vanced, remanding fi rm at the last board. Later, doubt
less owing to advioes from London of a decline in bonds
toil% the market was again "off." but rallied aubse
queen's I.
There can be no better evidence of the artificial char-'
acter of the market for governments in Wall street than
the very wide fluctuations produced by the various
remora predicated upon the existence of this "Schenck
bill." 7be measure really gives no greater value to the
bonds than they posse's without it, and after all the
pledges that have beep Made by the party that has a ma
jonty in the present Congress, and the loud assumption
of superior morality in the consideration of the bonded
Indebtedness of the country, and the denunciation of
those who raised the question of doubtful inter-
pretation in the language of the promises to pay,
during the recent cannons, seer= an exact parallel of the
parturient mountain and is ridiculous result Even
those who express the greatest interest in Its passage only
antic:pate that it will stimulate the foreign demand for
our securities ,• but in this It Is more than likely they un
derestimate t yre judgment ofsforeign investors. The re
cent beery demand for governments on European ac
count is simultaneous with the expression of public faith
here and hopeful anticipation of great results tnthe way
of national recurerationdollowing the accession of Gem
Grant to office, has been maintained upon later satisfac
tory evidences of the justness of such expectation In the
conduct and indices of character presented by the Presi
dent elect and will be further condoned as long as the
same encouraging signs appear of a encomial adminis
tration quite independent Of any barren resolutions—for
this bill amounts to nothing more—of Congresa. It is
possible that Europeans, while only correct 1w their
judgment of the qualifications of General Grant forthe
Potation of Chief Executive. may overestimate his power
as mchtt it thus remains for Congress to materially
"strengthen the public credit" by removing all obstacles
to his unfettered administration and independent die
charge of the duties imposed on him by the inslltsition..

at 131%. at which figure it stood at the close of =sinew.
The tone of the market throughout the day was feverish
and excited, the absence of reports from the London bond
market in the morning and the conflicting rumors from
Washington inducing the firmness which then prevailed,
the market weakening under the influence of correct in
formation. Traamellons were again heavy the gross

00.713. re, and the currency balances to 82.642,260. The
loan market reflected the stringency In the money mar

Grant". Inaugural.
[Special Despatch to the Phil*. Embus Donedna
WAssuatexon,March 3.—The inaugural address,
which has been prepared, will make about half a
column of the Globe, and it Is known that it will
take strong ground in favor of the suffrage
amendment to the Constitution, urging its
ratification by the Statea as a measure important
to the establishment of a lasting peace.
General Grant will announce, In an emphatic
manner, his views upon the subject of the na
tional credit, asserting that national honor and
good faith demand that all obligations not other
wise expressly stipulated must be paid In coin.
He has, in conversation upon this subject, said
that it would be a disgrace for the nation to
think it can do otherwise than this.
THE PUBLIC CREDIT.
The Conference Committee on Schenek's Pub
lic Credit bill have agreed to report. They restore
the first section nearly to its original form. It
is a declaration that bonds which do not ex
prcesly specify otherwise are payable in coin,
with the proviso that notes should, as soon as
possible, be appreciated to the same standard.
The gold section stands with,, alight amend
ments.

If the present arrangements are not changed,
the Cabinet appointments will be sent to the
Senate on Friday noon.
General Grant Besieged by Visitors.
iSpecial Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.)
WASHINGTON, March B.—A great crowd of
visitors besieged the Army Headquarters again
this morning. but with the exception of Senators
Cameron and Wilson. Governor Geary and two
or three others, none were admitted to see Gen.
Grant, orders having been issued to convey Gen.
Grant no cards.
During the forenoon the General drove in an
open buggy to Willard's Hotel to get a friend.
He was at once recognized, and crowds gathered
around his vehicle, apparently much to his an
noyance. After taking in his friend he drove
rapidly away. General Sherman will occupy
General Grants rooms at the Army Headquarters
for some time at least.
The weather is clear and springlike and indi
cates a beautiful day to-morrow.
Fortieth Congress--Third Session.
WASHINGTON, March 8.
Siouirr..—Tbe Senate having passed the De
ficiency Appropriation bill at 2 A. hi., adjourned
until noon.
At 12 o'clock the Senate again met.
Mr. Harlan, from the Committee on the Dis
tnct of Columbia, reported a joint resolution in
relation to the lands and other property of W.
W. Corcoran, in the District of Columbia, used
by the Government during and since the rebel
lion. It instructs the Secretary of the Treasury
to withhold payment from Mr. Corcoran until he
shoji have taken the test oath.
Mr. Howard understood that Mr. Corcoran had
abandoned his property here and gone and staid
abroad during the war. He also understood that
Mr. Corcoran had been a rebel sympath l 7 , er. and
he wanted to know why such a man should be
paid at all.
On motion of Mr. Bayard the yeas and nays
were ordered.
Mr. Davis said that Mr. Corcoran was entitled
to compensation for his property without being
required to take such an oath, and therefore he
would not vote to impose such an oath.
Pending the vote Mr. Sherman made a report
from the Committee on Conference on the bill to
strPngthen the public credit.
Mr. Bayard addressed the Senate in opposition
to concurring in the report of the committee, and
also in opposition to the general principle of the
bill, denying that Congress had a right to declare
the effect of previous legislation.
(Bowe—Continued from Second Edition.)
Mr. Loftin, from the Committee on Printing.
reported a resolution for printing 2,000 copies of
the report of the Select Committee on the New
York election frauds, with the testimony, and
10 ; 000 copies without the testimony. Adopted—
yeas 112, nays 52.
The deficiency bill was sent over from the Sen
ate with amendments, and
Mr. Spaulding moved to non-concur in the
amendments and to refer them to a Committee of
Conference.
Mr. Farnsworth demanded the reading of the
amendments before the House was called on to
vote on that motion.
Mr. Spaulding withdrew the motion, remarking
that the gentleman from Illinois would have to
take the responsibility of retarding the public
business.
Mr. Shanks, from the Select Committee on the
Treatment of Union Prisoners, made a report
which was laid on the table and ordered to be
printed.
Various resolutions for extra printing were re
ported by Mr, Loftin, from the Committee on
Printing,and , gtiire rise to considerable discussion.
Some of them\ v/ere adopted and others rejected.
Mr. Brooma ll.Chairman of the Committee of
Accounts, called up the report made by him last
Saturday, in reference to the disbursement of the
eon tingent fund.
Messrs. Eckley and McCulloch, members of the
committee, denied that the committee had ordered
such report to be made, and the latter denied that
there was any evidence to justify the statement
that employds in the Executive Departments had
been employed by the Democratic Party during
the last Presidential campaign.
Mr. Broomall said he had personal knowledge
of that fact, and asserted that he had been autho
rized by the committee to make the report.
Messrs. Arnoll and Field, members of the com
mittee. verified the statement of the chairman.
Mr.Broomall then reported a resolution,direct
ing no expense shall be incurred for furnishing
or completing the Hall of the House, Committee
rooms, &c., unless the work be previously au
thorized by the Committee on Buildings and
Grounds.
Also, a joint resolution directing that the Ser
geant-at-Arms of the House, in lieu of fees, mile
age, &c., for summoning witnesses and compel
ling the attendance pf absent members, be reim
bursed his actual expenses.
After explanation by Mr. Broomall, both reso
lutions were agreed to.
Mr. Griswold presented the memorial of the
German Republican General Committees in rela
tion to a change of the naturalization laws.
Mr. Broomall, from the Committee on Ao
counts, reported a resolution to allow the com
mittee clerks at the rate of $6 per day for the
time actually spent in official duties.
Mr.MeCtillongh opposed the rosolution,stating
that there had been evidence taken before the
Committee of Accounts showing that some clerks
to committees had not rendered one hour's ser
vice during the Congress.
Mr. Broomall argued that the resolution would
authorize the Committee on Accounts to discrim
inate between clerks who did nothing and clerks
who bad had much business to perform. After
a long discussion the resolution was adopted.
Mr. Broomall moved to suspend the rules and
to rescind the resolution adopted some days
einee, to pay $2,500 to each of the three, con-
Icstants from the Second District of Louisiana.

charging Their Duties.
Policeman Thomas Hussey and Andrew B.
Irons, of the Eighteenth District, were called into
a tavern at Brabant' nd Ann streets, on Saturday
night at a late heur, upon pretence of quelling a
disturbance. After they had got inside the door
was locked and the °Macre were attacked. by
those in the place. The policemen fought their
assailants and succeeded in getting two of them—
Patrick Dougherty and William Boyee—to the
station-house. The prisoners had a hearing be
fore Alderman Neill on Sunday morning, and
Dougherty was held to bail to keep the peace,
and Boyce was held for assault and battery.
Hussey and Irons were arrested yesterday af
ternoon, one being taken from his beat and the
other while on his way to the station-house to
report for duty._Both wore taken to the office of
Md. Frank Devit, on Third street, aboire e • -
man. There they had a hearing and were re
quired to give bail in the sum of $1,500. As bait
was not at hand, the. policemen were sent to
prison.
The facts got to the ears of some of the friends
of the policemen, and this morning a gentleman
appeared at Alderman Devitt's office to enter
ban. He was told that the bail had been in
creased to $3,000, and that unless he produced
the deeds of his property he could not be ac
cepted. As the deeds were not at hand, ball waa , ,,
not entered. A transcript of the docket of Aid.
Devitt was subsequently demanded by another
friend of the imprisoned policemen, who laid
down $lO to pay for it. This was refused.
Mayor Fox was notified of the state of affairs
this, morning and sent for District Attorney
Sheppard, with whom be had a long interview.
The result of this interview has not yet trona
pired.
The whole transaction looks like an attempt
. to get rid of a couple of good (Alders. The Mayor
has declared that he will not
discharge any policemen, except for a
good cause. As these men were run off
from their duty, and the reason of their absence
being unknown to the Lieutenant, ho would be
obliged to report them for neglect of duty. The
dodge failed, as the Lieutenant, previous to
making his report, had heard of the affair. The
matter deserves a thorough investigation by the
proper authorities.
A CIIIIIOIIO CASs-WHO HAS TILE Box.—This
morning Judge Ludlow, in the Court of Common
Pleas, was called upon to solve a knotty question
of law, growing out of the • desire of two rival
claimants to a box at the Academy of Music, to
secure the undisputed right and title to said en
closure for this evening. Mr. Wm. H. Rawls,
the complainant, tiled a bill in,equity,praying the
Court to restrain Adolph Bergfeld from renting
proscenium box No. 11, at the Academy of MUSIC,
for this evening's entertainment. In order to
enforce his claim to the injunction, the comlllain
ant bad four counsel, with ex-Justice Strong at,
the head. Mr. Bergfeld was not represented, and
the case came before the Court upon the complain
ant's own statement. From this it appeared that
he had engaged and paid for the box for Monday
evening, and at the time he made the purchase he
stated that he would secure the box for Wednes
day evening. He did not pay for it, however, but
when he called upon Mr. Birgfeld subsequently,
be learned that he had rented the coveted box to
another party, and hence the present snit.
It was argued on behalf the complainant that
the contract with Mr. B. ought to be considered
binding, and that the defendant should be com
pelled to comply with its terms. Various Moe
trai ions were given of the damage that might be
done to parties, who, supposing themselves the
lessees of a box at a theatre, should make engage
ments for the evening. Judge Ludlow, upon the
complainant's own statement, dismissed the bill.
INAUGURATION PRAYER-NEETINGB.—The idea
of an " Inauguration Ball " probably suggested
the idea of Inauguration prayer-meetings—the
former to he held at night in Washington, but the
latter to be held in all parts of the United States,
at noon, from 12 to 1 o'clock. The Philadelphia
meetings will be held on Thursdu, March 4th, at
noon, atthe Hall of the Young Men's Christian
Association• at 4 P. M. at Broad and Arch streets,
and at 7% P. M. at Broad and Green streets.

He obtained money on a forged letter.
Jacob Berger was convicted of a charge of commit
ting an assault and battery upon his mother.
Felix O'Toole and William Ritterson were charged

and Ritterson of receiving the stolen goods.
FROM NEW YOIECh.
NEW YORK, March B.—The prosecution of the Grif
fith Gaunt libel suit was closed yesterday, For the
defence, offers to prove that Mr. Reade had taken his
story from other works were rejected by the Court on
the ground that it was customary for authors to bor
row their plots from other authors, and that plagiar
n m was the taking, bodily, portions of another per
son's writings without acknowledgment. The defence
claimed that Mr. Reade, not being a citizen, had no
rights as an author in this country. The case was
then postponed until. Wednesday.
The Assembly Committee on Contested Elections
eat yesterday at the Metropolitan Hotel, in secret
session, Mr. W. H. Ilegeman being in the chair. Tes
timony was taken in the case of McLeod against Hal
pin, to the effect that much "repeating" was done,
that lights were extinguished at the polls, that ballot
boxes were upset, and ballots irretrievably mixed.
The steamship Denmark arrived at this port yester
day from Liverpool on the 10th ult., after a very rough
voyage. Captain Cutting, her commander, was

WASHINGTON, March B.—A, rumor ,is current,
is afternoon that E. B. Washburne is theker—.,
s.. selected for the State Department. That
ge • eman, upon being • questioned, neither do-'i
nied nor affirmed the truth of the report, cons°,
quently it gained credence in best , informed cir
cles. It is also asserted with great positiveness
by the friends of Hon. E. M. Stanton that he has,
received an intimation from Gen. Grant that he
will be tendered the position of Minister to Great
Britain.
Quite a number of prominent gentlemetr*lfe
have been named for Cabinet positions called;-to
see General Grant to-day, but were unable , to do
so, owing to General Grant being engaged with
General Sherman.
Presentation to General Sherman.
Weenniaron, March 3.—This morning, be-.,
tween eleven and twelve o'clock, Messrs. A. T. ,
Stewart, Hamilton Fish, Benj. H. Field, Wm.' H.
Aspinwall and Wm. Scott, of the Committee ap
pointed by the subscrlherii in the city of New
York to the fund for the purchase of a residence
and furniture for Lieutenant-General Sherman
attended by Alfred M. Hoyt, nephew of General r
Sherman, General Butterfield, Judge Hilton, So- `;
ion Humphrey, also of the contributors, visited-" .
the Army Headquarters by appointment.
On entering Gen.Gmt's office , Mr. A. T. litew
art approached and intormed him that : they had .
come prepared to consummate the puichase of
the residence and furniture on r street, for: •the
purpose of presenting the sameAo Gen. Sherman,'
and at the same time handed to Gen. Grant ::a .
bank check for $65,000. The General feceived
the gentlemen cordially, and expressed his groat
gratification at General Sherman being the
recipient of such a high mark of friendly, dm
sideration. The,General then produced the deed
of the house and a bill of sale for the furniture,
handsomely engrossed on parchment, signed and
acknowledged for record, and bearing the requi
site signatures of General Grant and his wife.
This being completed it was evident that the par
ties met as business mon to finish tbe business
with which they were entrusted.
After a short interview with Gen. Shermati;,
who was attending to his duties at a desk in the
same room, while the Committee were engaged,
with Gen. Grant, the chairman, Mr.. Stewart; -
made known their desire to have a private Inter- .
view. Gen. Sherman then invited the Committee,
to an adjoining room, usually occupied by Gen.
Rawlings, Chief of Staff, when Mr.
Stewart, holding in his nand the
subscription papers and deed and bill of sale, ad
dressed General Sherman as follows: —General:
It is a great pleasure to me to be the medium of
presenting this voluntary subscription of your
friends and fellow-countrymen. If there ever
was an instance of the pleasure being greater to
give than receive, this is cer
tainly that one. I assure you
that this may be accepted without any feeling of
obligation-on your part, as it is contributed in
the sincere belief that your noble and effective
services in behalf of our country in the hour of
peril can never be compensated. We trust that
the kind Providence who has in the past watched
over, guided and protected you on j
the battle-field and in r the camp
may bless you with a long life, that you may
enjoy the reward due a faithful public - Servant
from a free and happy people.
Mr. Stewart then handed General Sherman the
subscription list and deed and bill of sale, re
marking that the balance of subscription, now
amounting to nearly one hundred thousand dol
lare,wotdd be forwarded to him within a few days,
and atter the names shall have been obtained or
a few gentlemen who wish to contribute, lidding
that a portion of this sum had been subscribed
by General Sherman's friends in Boston, whose
names would be added to the list.
General Sherman seemed much affected, and
replied that this noble act of kindness was en
tirely unexpected by him. Until within a few days
past, in view of his removing to WaShington, he
bad been engaged in making arrangements for
living here, in a manner proportionate to his In
come and in an humble, but modest style. Of
course this gift will enable him to live
in a different manner from what ho
had contemplated, and he assured the gentlemen
that it should be held by him for the special bene
fit of his family and the education of his children;
that beyond this purpose he never intended to
touch, for himself, one dollar of it; that, apart
from this, he desired the contributors to
understand that he 'should always be
happy to welcome them in what might be re
garded as their home, while visiting Washington,
In order that he might know them, and they
know him more intimately, and that he could not
further express his grateful sense of their kind
ness, so unexpected and so generously awarded
to him.
The Committee, after/ a brief and pleasant con
versation for a few minutes, withdrew.
