a condition precedent to this arrangement,..whlch
was that Judge, Hoar, of . Maasachusette,- - the
newly appointed Attorney-General, was to de

perhaps a New Yorker. Everybody expected

strolled into the Supreme Court room. Repre

lookin gentleman of aboett.,so year of aget,*ith
grizzly gray hair and whiskers, wearing gold

clothing. Mr. Evarta and his successor waited
few minutes for Maynard,to close, bat he seemed
unaware of the presence Of the distinguished
party and continued his remarks. Taking ad
vantage of a pause. Mr. Everts rose. and Intro
eneed to the Court and members of the Bar his.
successor, Judge Hear. "MrEvarts stated that
Judge Hoar was not practitioner before the
Court, and moved that belle admitted Inuractice.
The Judges nodded assent, when Chief JOstice
Chase directed Mack* to make qn orderlathat
effect; and administer the usual oath to Mr. Hoar
as an attorney. ,This was done, when Mr. Everts
stated that Mr. Roar had been appointed Attor
ney-General, and commissioned by the President,
and had come to.take the oath.of olden before the
Court.
The commission of Mr. Hoar was then read by
the clerk, after which Mr. H. advanced to the
clerk's desk, and holding up his right hand, read
in a dear, distinct and firm tone, the oath of of
fice from a paper Ito held in his left- band. The
scene was very impressive. Minya were turned
to the reader, and as be emphasized particular
portions of the oath—that he had not aided in
any way the rebellion—it seemed as if his hearers
were in hearty sympathy with him. The closing
words—"So help me Gear—were delivered with
dramatic, force and energy, very different from.
the monotonous tone usual in the court.
Thiseeremony ended, Chief Justice Chase di
rected a record to be made of the act,after which
the Court adjourned immediately. The Judges
retired to diveat themselves of their robes of of-

Everts and introduced to the Judges individually.

SECRETARY HORIR ON DUTY
I called to-day to pay my respects to Secretary
A. E. Bode, at the navy Department. He entlared
upon his duties this morning, and was waited
upon by the officers of the Department on duty,
besides many persooal friends and distingtdshed
officials. , One of his first official acts.. was to ap
point as his chief clerk Mr. Holmes E. Offiey, of
Geo'rgetown, who eat near by, busily engaged in
writing from Mr.' Borie's dictation.
The Secretary received his visitors kindly, and
appeared perfectly "at home" In his now posi
tion.
Soon after assuming his duties, he directed
Benjamin F. Isherwoed, Chief at the Bureau of
steam Engineering, to be relieved from duty, be
sides two engineers at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard. and one at the Boston Navy Yard, until an
investigation shall be instituted into the charges
made against these parties for alleged irregu
larities in the purchase of machinery and tools.
He also directed a Board of Inquiry to be orga
nized, to investigate all the transactions of the
Bureau of Steam Engineering from its organiza
tion to the present time.
The officers of the Navy and Marine Corps will
pay the customary visit to the new Secretary on
Friday next, at 12 o'clock.
EICCRETAIIT or THE iNTSIIIOR 00X.
I also paid my respects to the new Secretary of
the Interior, General Jacob D. Cor, of Ohio, and
found him surrounded by friends, all on the same
pleasant errand. General Vox is of exceedingly
affable and genial manners, has a pleasant word
fur everybody, and ; will make a popular 'and
efficient officer. One of his first official acts_was
to remove a rebel soldier,who had been appointed
a messenger by Secretary Browning upon the
recommendation of President Johnson. General
Cox doesn't believe in feeding rebels at thepublic
crib.
POSTSLASTER•OREERAL CRESWELL.
Thisgentleman was on duty to-day, at the
Poet-office Department, audio stirnngnp matters
generally. He just "dropped in" on Saturday
for a few inbantes, and one of his first orders was
to direct the preparation of a list of all the offi
cials and clerks employed in the Post-office De
partment,. together with a statement showing
how long each bad been in office, by whom they
were recommended, when first appointed, and
such other, information as would enable him to
act understandingly In making changes. This
order produced the ,greatest consternation among
the parties interested, as many of the ap pointees
were, members in good: standing of the Johnson
Departmental Club" and kindred organizations,
Which were kindly nurtured by the late Post
tnaster-General Randall, and. the parties are
very loth to have their "recommenadtions"
examined by such a stern Radical as Mr. Cres
well. Borne, too, have been in the Department
so long that the, memory of man runneth not
back to.the time when they were appointed—
several having been there from twenty to forty
years—and all traces of 'their recommendations
have been lost, so It is said, and they are com
pelled to appeal to friends to "vouch" for their
loyalty and p atriotism , etc. Creswell intends
making "a grand sweep" of the Johnson
postmasters throughout the country, and If any
have indulged the hope that theywill be retained,
they had better dismiss the idea from.thelr minds
immediately. !qtlasby's" hour has come.

DIPEONIAOII ABROAID.
Our Alin inter to INFottin—flow America
Its 'Served.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune
writes:
LONDON, Feb. 24.—1 t is with very great regret
'hat, after many resolutions to keep silence, I
tied myself, at last, obliged to make a statement
in regard to the American Legation at:Madrid.
Before I went to Madrid hid heard, as,l sup
pose every American ire Earoperbas heard, of the
deplorable disputes between Mr. Hale, our Minis:
ter, and Mr. Perry, Secretary of Legation. Daring
coy stay, I heard a full statement of- hie ease from
the Minister. I had never known Mr. Hale per
eonally in America, but I of course knew his
honorable histolysis an early and,; distinguished
!ender among-that small band'of men -who -under
took to carry , on a war against„ elavery by the
ordinary political methods. I had 'Seen him in
the United States Court in Boston, as counsel
tor Theodore Parker, sueeessfully resisting the
desperate effort of Franklin Pierce'te officials to
convict his client of the crime of free speech
u Faneuil ' Hail, on the night ,of I the
Anthony Burns riot. For this and other brilliant
Eervices. I honor °John- P.-Hale, and Ispeak of
them to show with what a prepossession in his
favor I first met Mr. Hale in Madrid. - I must add
to that the fact that I am- indebted to him for a
cordial reception, and' fcir'inetay more offers of
hospitality than I was able to accept. These pre
possessions 'and 'personal relations sate
tequently growling •up at his home, make it
most unpleasant task to me to criticise his
public conduct as Minister of the United States.
ilia relations with Mr. Perry are •so entangled
with public affairs that it will not De possible to
speak of the ono and be wholly silent about the
other; but I shall say as little as possible of the
personal disagreements between them. I had
never knOwn Mr. Perry in any way before I went
to Madrid, and I have nothing to aay o
except as Secretary of Legation.
The event which compels me, in t circum
stances, to state what I know, is the publication ,
in America of Mr. Hale's letter to a New Hamp
shire. Congreisman,, making certain charges
against Mr. Perry and demanding that General
Errant shall continue him , (Mr. Male) in his
present place. The attack , on Mr. Perry would
not of itself have produced a reply. But I think
it right to say that, so far es Mr. Hale's
charges affect the public character of Mr. Perry,
they had been previously communicated by Mr.
lisle to the State Department at Washington,
and that Mr. Perry's reply to them was accepted
as a 'conclusive refutation. So far as they affect
Mr. Perry's private character, perhaps the best
answer to them is Mr. Perry's known reputation
and social position in Madrid.
-:-.But Mr. Hale's desire to'remain in Madrid as
United States Minister is a much more serious
matter than his disputes with Mr. Perry, and this
Ills which makes It a duty for me to say that he
is not now a competent representative. I wish
to say it with every consideration for a man
eminent in public life; • but it is not real kindness
to tint to disgmsn the truth, that his
faculties are ranch , impaired. Their
dt cay is largely owing, I have been told, to a se
vere illness, and the same cause may have af
fected equally his activity of body and of in
tellect. Ills knowledge of and interest In Spanish
polities seemed to me equally limited; and I was
told, again and again that he had little influence
tither with -the old Government or with the
present. The real work of the Legation has
been done by . the Secretary, whose long, resi
dence in Spam and perfect knowledge of the
language, as well as his wide acquaintance with
leading men in every party, have enabled him to
render very important services to his own coun
try. These defects unfit Mr. Hale for official du
des, as his inability to establish and maintain per
sonal relations with the best society of Madrid
disqualify him from exercising the indirect, but
in Europe always important; influence sprin
leg froM personal ititercourse.
I am even more sorry to have to add that Mr
Hale has no sympathy with the revolution, and
is openly hostile to the Republican movement.
Few Americans, I fear, can have visited the Le
gation at Madrid without bearing Wishes for the
return of the Queen ardenily expressed. I know
not hew to describe the feeling thus manifested
in an American Embassy towards that royal
prostitute; except anan infatuation. If it be said
that I begin here :'to touch on matters
which. I must haye . learned from, private (loan r
futlionr•lansWer that they aro the common talk
OV! 60MTILY.
of Madrid, and that not only Americane,- but
Spaniards and even Englishmen express their
Amazement that the clime of Bpani9h freedom
thOuld find some of its worst enemies in the
circle that surrounds the American. Minister,
while his own. words in respect to a movement
with which every true American must sympa
thize are uniformly those of dieleouregement and
depreciation.
It is upon such grounds as these that an Im
partial and even a friendly observer comes to the
painful conclusion that Mr. Hale's continuance
in Medrid,as American Minister is a aetriment to
the public eervice. If it has been in the past,
much more is it now, when the sympathies
between the two countries become so much
cloeer; and more will it be in the near future,
when it' Is probable that difficult arid delicate
negotiations are to be entered upon.
Daring the war, relations between Spain and the
United States were often strained to the utmost.
Thexe was at least one period when the Spanish
Government was on the point of striking hands
with Nopoleon in a conspiracy for the recogni
tion of -the ,Southern Confederacy. There was
another' when Spain was so Irritated by
fancied introits to her flag by our block,
ading" fortes that she was near deolgring
war for her self, certain "
of the support of France

Vari f3etrurz had resigned and gone home tnflght,

fah/More is more serious than any mere personal
controversy: •Men must go for nothing. The

An IntereSting `conversation was had to-day
with General'Grant by '-a Senator opposed to a
rt. peal of the Vivil-Office-Tenure act. The Sena
tor Vas layittg,the groundwork for sundry appli
cations for office, when his attention was called
ny the General to: the division in the Radical
party on this •Tenure-of-Office question. "Bat,
Sir," said the General, "Is not the restriction op
posed US , oar theory of government? giTne
Judges hold office for • life, bat the Presi
dent and members of Congress
are subject to constant change. Now
It is proposed to . 'street all subordinate officers

unless, indeedi charges, are preferred against
them, audit trial had•betore the Senate, the same
tribunal before which Judges are tried. This . is
certainly a great stride, toward a revolution in
our free system, and it only requires another
to make these oftices,hereditary.' The Senator
made no effort to combat the General's position,
but quietly folding several papers which he still
held in his hand he returned them to his coat
pockets, and retired. It is understood that the
General contemplates•placing a similar quietus
on all Senators oppoied to striking from . the
bands of the,Executive the legislative manacles
imposed by the Civil Office Tenure act.
The Hartford Courant has the following con
cerning the personal relations of Grant and
Hancock:
The New York World blunders in Its haste to
make a point against Gen. Grant. It intimates
that Hancock is assigned to the Department of .
Dakota in a spirit of petty revenge, and evident!
supposes that he is to live in Dakota. It should
have related the fact that after the Tammany Con
vention General Grant, against whom no unkind
word or deed against Hancock is charged, met
the latter in the streets of Washington, and
in his usualgood humor gave him a
cordial word of greeting, which Hancock
passed unnoticed; that Is, he "cut." the General.
The insult, if tendered while they were on duty,
would have subjected Gen. Hancock to a court•
martial. Instead of viewing the new assignment
of Hancock as malicious, the sarcastic remark of
The World that it Is "magnanimous" is literally
untrue. The "Department-of—Dakota" embraces
Minnesota, Dakota and Montana, with head
quarters at the pleasant post of St. Paul—the
department from which Gen. Terry has just been
relieved. Gen. Hancock has been treated with a
courtesy and a consideration that his unofficial
conduct did not merit.
—Fiss has got up a muddle in Union Pacific.
He is a Fiskal nuisance.
—lowa editors are about to make an excursion
to the Rocky Mountains.
—President Grant finds • Cabinet-making A-T-
Mous business: •
—Lamartine's life Was insured insared forloo,ooo francs
in favor of his niece. . • ' '
—The Portuguese prose, strongly gondemn the,
recently revived idea of an Iberian union.
—Dr. Livlngstoae;the. African traveler, has
been elected a member of thelastitUte"of Franco."

Gen. Sheridan' at New Orleans.
New Orleans had another sensation on Satur
day last. A Copperhead despatch to the Louis
ville Courier-Journal tells how the news of the
reappointment of Phil. Sheridan to that depart
ment was received in the Crescent City . :
"The order received here to-night which assigns
Lientenant-General Phil. H. Sheridan to the corn-t
mud of this department, has created a profound
depression among the citizens. .Nothing else is
talked of in the clubs, and , the rotunda of the St.
Charles lined with a crowd eager for farther
Intelligence. The order surprised every one at
headquarters, and none more than General 'Ha
chanan. Groups of men are congregated on
Canal street gloomily discussing the order: It is
thought that Sheridan's coming here is a harsh
and unnecessary measure, his unpopu
larity being • known to President Grant.
It was said by moderato Republicans that it was
a mistake to send him here. The extreme Radi
cals, carpet-baggers and negroes are exultant,
and cannot conceal their delight. Warknonth is
said to be alarmed at the prospect, as he'fcars
Sheridan may 'hamper him, and perhaps take the
mine out of his hands. Preparations •to receive
Sheridan ere freely discussed by the negroes, who
expect a gala, day. ' The„different Democratic
clubs, Ws said, will ttse'every,exertion 'to avoid
any collisionivith the negroes:" •
