TRE DISTRIBUTION OF OFFICE.
'The Senators and Representatives of Penn
iylvania are entitled to a certain amount of
consideration in the distribution of the Fed
eral appointments; but there is a grave and
vellilounded fear springing up among the
people, that President Grant is in o fair way
of being baulked in the grand design of his
adteinistration, by committing this vital sub -
jest of 4 office - holding almost solely to the
handinl of gentlemen who represent Penneyl-
vapia'lua Congrestt. Senators and•Representa
tiveirore not the only, nor always the best
judges- Of the • men to fill the various offices
of" -this State: The member representing a
particular District is supposed, theoretically,
to know his constituents, and to be competent
to -indlcate to the President how he shall
seem.. such men as will best carry out his
policy. The theory is only very partially a true
one, especially in the City Districts, and not
atall, true, so tar as the Senators are con
coined. Senator Scott or Senator Cameron,
ler butanes, has; neither officially nor per
sonally, the opportunity or ability to distri—
bate'the offices of Philadelphia in accord-
lance with the wishes or interests of the people,
or with the known policy of President Grant;
and the Congressman of one District has no
better knowledge of the , merits of the ques-
lions of office in another District, than any
good, respectable, sensible private citizen,
and generally not half as much.
Iftlk , Pedensl patronage of Pennsylvania
and Philadelphia is to be conferred only
through the action'of a caucus of the Repub
lic:o '-Congressional delegation; if the
°Onions, :‘and wishes of private citizens
are to have no weight in these
appointmenti; if the President does not apply
the same principle in the selection of the
subordinates that he has applied in his choice
of the Cabinet, there can be but one result.
The offices will be filled very much as they
have been•filled. The same old huckstering
and bargaining for nominations and coatis-
Mallol3fi WiUbe carried on as of old, and, in
stead of an infusion of a good proportion of
vigorous new blood into the Federal offices,
—men who will_ go into them, honestly im
bued with the high principles which Presi
dent Grant hasproclaimed—we shall have the
machinery crowded into the hands of the
inuctediate personal, political friends and
supporters of the senators and Congressmen,
and President Grant and the people will look
in vain for that reform, .without which the
new Administration must necessarily be a
fidlure.
We do not• : desire to see our Senators and
Congressmen ignored in the Federal appoint
ments. Although they are not sent to Wash
ington to distribute patronage, they are sup
posed to be men in whom the people of the
State have confidence,and, in most cases, that
confidence is -well placed. But the right
course of .President Grant and his Heads of
Departments -is too evident to need demon
stration.
Take the case of,Philadelphia,for example.
There are numerous applicants for most of
the offices. ,Let the.Repnblican Congressmen
nominate to the President whomever they
think the best of these appli
cants. But then let the President
take counsel of some of the leading
merchants, business men and others in the
Republican party here, of whom he has per
sonal knowledge, and in whom he has good
cause to repose implicit confidence. Let
these applications be referred to finch 'gentle
men as these, who do not want office them
selves, hut who do want to see the great ex
periment of President Grant's administration
honestlyand thoroughly carried out. Let the
Congressional preference in each case have
its due weight, and no more. President
Grant knows many citizens of Philadelphia
who could not be suspected of personal mo -
tives in giving him their dispassionate advice
upon the relative.merits of the several appli
cations for the different offices, and whose
.counsel would be of the utmost service to
Adixt•in the.discharge of the delicate and diffi
cult responsibility of the distribution of
anittee!L
The future success of the new adminlstra
lion,lii which all good citizens feel so deeply
interested,. depends chiefly upon the selection
of goodiand , deserving men at the outset, in
all the', branches of the civil service. It will
not.do,toput men into office on experiment.
Everybodylouters how much easier it is to
get abaci, inefficient man into office than to
gettira out again. Everybody can point to
examples amen who are models of political
earvaptical, or of imbecile incompetency, who
are protected in the enjoyment of the emolu
ments ()forme for years, by their own adroit
ness in covering their tracks from official in
vestigation, by the interposition of political
friends who share in the spoils of their
offices, or by the good-natured carelessness
of those who will not take the trouble to ex
pose their misdoings, because they believe
that' their successor's will, perhaps, be no
better. There isbut one way tij ensure those
practical reforma,that return to the economy,
integrity and efficiency in the discharge of
pnblic duties Which are cardinal' principles
via the masses of the Republican party.

right to expect that they will not be. tilt
there will be a selection from the best of

they hold their offices, not simply by the in
dluence of some active and persistent political
friend in Wrishington, but also by the en
dorsement of their fellow-citizens at home,
who will feel a direct interest in holding them
to a strict accountability.
The whole subject of the principle upon
which the Federal patronage Is to be dis
pensed is naturally engaging the most
anxious solicitude of the great classes who
have no personal interest in the rush for of
fice, but who are deeply concerned that Pres
ident Grant shall not fall into the hands of in
terested politicians,who care very little either
for the public welfare, or the success of the
Grant Administration, if so be that they and
their respective "rings" can get fat places at
the Federal rack and manger.
THE FILIEDIDENT AND THE 3141.1
11l STEWS.
The Charleston papers publish rather inex .
plicit accounts of various filibustering expe
ditions which have sailed or are to sail from the
South Carolina and Georgia coast. To one
of these enterprises, under the command of
General Jourdan, formerly of Beauregard's
staff, President Grant is said by the Charles
ton .News •to have given his approval'
and the promise of his protection in the event
of the capture of the hold buccaneers by the
Spaniards. Despite the confident assurance
of the President's connivance, given by this
authority, we are quite certain that
he has had nothing to do with any
filibustering expedition whatever. It is
his declared intention to execute the laws
faithfully ; and without a doubt he would
13£1 , 70 seized-General Jourdan and his crew,
and cooled their enthusiasm in prison, if he
had , been informed of their intentions. The
President inay and probably does desire the
success of the Cuban revolutionists;
but he has not the power, and
we are well assured he has not the disposi
tion to interfere forcibly in the quarrel
Even if he did wish to do so, he would not
represent the sentiments of the people upon
the subject. The . popular longing for the ac
quisition of Cnba is so very moderate that we
are all quite willing to wait until the
islanders come knocking at •the door, asking
to be admitted to the Union. Probably an
nexation will then be considered desirable by
everybody. But just at the present time no
sensible man will advocate the payment of a
dollar for purchase money, or the striking of
a blow to hasten the end of Spanish rule.
Neither will law-abiding people approve of
filibustering expeditions, fitted out and con
trolled by crazy enthusiasts and adventurers'
who are careless of neutrality laws and ob
ligations of national honor. The govern
ment will please the mass of the people if it
will arrest every man who attempts to levy
war upon Spain from American ports.
Bat there is one thing upon which the Pre
sident and the people agree concerning Cuba:
that is, L that we should, for very humanity's
sake, recognize the rebels as belligerents,
entitled to the rights appertaining to such
a position. Without doubt the Spanish an
thorities have determined to execute as traitors
the prominent rebels who fall into their hands.
On Saturday the cable informed us of the
shooting of a rebel chief by General Milne's
command; and the mail of the same day tells
a horrible story of the massacre in cold blood
of ten rebel prisoners at one time. Of course
there have been and will be multitudes of
similar assassinations of which we shall hear
nothing. It is our duty, then, as a Christian
nation, to protest against this cruel and blood
thirsty policy; and to give to these brave
men such a position as Spain attempted to
give to the Southern rebels during oar war•
We have that precedent for our justification
in such a course; but without it, our duty
would be not the less manifest. We hope
Congress will give attention to the matter and
confer the necessary authority upon the Presi_
dent. It had better be done at once, for Gen.
Dulce is soon to be replaced by an officer
whose reputation for cruelty is a thousand
times more infamous.
nonE RAILWAY.
It is the natural result of the general policy
and practice of the Passenger Railway Com
panies of Philadelphia, that any legislation
having reference to them challenges inquiry,
investigation and some suspicion. It is un
fortunate that this should be so, but the rail-
way companies have no , cause to complain.
The last railway bill, since the Influential
Constituents Company was chartered, is one
giving the Lombard and South Streets Rail—
way Company permission to connect tracks
on those streets, and from the intersection of
Passyunk road, at Filth street; thence along
Fifth to Miner,North or Cherry street; thence
along Sixth to Passyunk road, the company
to use the track of any other company on the
route, paying therefor fair compensation.
if some one of the 1,500 citizens who are
said to have signed a memorial for this bill
will give us some measurably fair reason for it,
we will be glad to have it. Minor, North
and Cherry streets (why is Commerce street
omitted from the bill?) are narrow streets,
crowded with the business of large ware
houses, which would be seriously interfered
with by running a railway track through
them. What the denizens of Lombard and
South streets want with a transit through
either of these streets we are wholly unable to
guess. Tne bill, as introduced in the Mouse,
professes to be for the purpose of getting to
the Post ogles. This conveys but one idea,
and it may not be the correct one. It may
be a mail question, but if it is, there is a sus
picious predominance of hue along the Lom
bard and South streets route that inevitably
suggests that the principa, "mail" interest in
the proposed bill is of the "black" kind. If
this is so, the bill will probably pass the
Legislature, but we caution Governor Cleary,
in advance, to keep his eye on it.

to keep' Reverdy in .< office,: so ,' that

failed as lamentably, as the Alabama nego
tiations.- Mr. Johneon's succesildr _has pro
bably been selecteld, and' -before the festive
minister can eat a dozen more‘dinners, the
summons will come for him to return to his
native land, from whence he went out an
honored man, but to which he will return in
the chaTcter of one of the greatest political
lathires of the century. Already, the English
newspapers, from flattering him, have began
to ridicule him, and the people are laughing
at his ridiculous speeches. We Might afford
to join in the laugh, if it were not`for the mor
tification which every American most feel at
the spectacle of their representative making
such a fool of himself., Thcre seems to be a
fatality about these "parties by the name of
Johnson."
The pronosed new article of the Federal
Constitution, having been adopted by the
State Senate, now awaits the action of the
House of Representatives. , To-mOrrow eve
ning and Wednesday afternoon have been set
apart for the special consideration of the
subject, and it is to be hoped that there will
be no further delay in its adoption. The
Democracy, during all the election campaigns
of the last three or four years, Atave declared
that the principle involved in this amendment
was in issue. They declared especially, last
fall, that it was to be decided, pro or con, by
the election of Grant or Seymour. The
handsome majority given for General a Grant,
in this State, must, therefore, be taken as an
expression by the people of Pennsylvania in
favor of the amendment,and his desire for its
adoption, as expressed in his iniugnral ad
dress, ought to be respected by the Lsgisla
ture.
Several times, members of the Legislature,
when advocating the hurried .paspage of cer
tain bills relating to Philadelphia, have used
the argument that the press of the city did
not oppose , them.• As it is a poor rale that
will not work both ways, we eatl the atten
tion of members to the fact that the bill to
create a Board of Directors of city Trusts
has received the approval of every paper of
any consequence that has expressed an
opinion on the subject. The daily and the
Sunday papers, Republican and Democratic,
all urge the passage of the hill. Independerit
of this hearty endorsement of it by the news
papers, its own merits are sufficient to recom
mend it to the approval of the Legislature.
We are, therefore, glad to hear that it has
been favorably reported on by the committee
to which it was referred, and we hope soon
to hear of its becoming a law.

And then it down ndar `

And the people with colds are sneezing

By noon It goes to slaty-four!

Again, it starts at sixty-two,
But, Eastern winds prevailing,
The mercury travels down again
With snowing and with hailing
The curious thermometer
Confuses me, altogether;
But one thing certainly well I
Whether the mercury's high or low,
Whether the sun Is shining, or no,
In days of rain, orin days of snow,
Whether the Marsh Winds howl and Wow,
All I have to do is to go

Wastattoron, March 15.—The friends of
Second Assistant Postmaster-Generalj McLellan
are making strenuous efforts to prevent his re
moval by Postmaster-General Creswell
kinoticeable that many donators and mem
bers who have been unceasing in their demands
that there - should be a thorough cleaning out of
the present Post-office officials, now protest
against MeLellan's removal. It is not likely that
auftleient Influence will be brought to bear
to thwart. Mr. Creswell's determination to com
mence .his administration of the Department
by removing those who acted as assistants and
counsellors to the last Postmaster-GeneraLduring
whose term the expenses exceeded the receipts of
the Department by many millions of dollars.
Mr. Creswell has :said that unl63 he was per
mitted thoroughly to cleat= the department, he
would resign. Mr. McLellan, whose removal he
hat determined upon, has always been a Repub.
&an, but, nevertheless, has been regarded for
some time as not a proper person for the ren.bn-
Bible position of Chief of the Contract tuveg . u,
which he has had charge of.
The Post-ofiles Ring, which is a powerful or
ganleation, is thrown into confusion by Mr. Cres
well's decided stand, and is resisting, with all its
power and Influence, the removals which Mr
Creative') has decided to make.
The Treasury Department.
(Special Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.)
Warinnioro", March 15.—Secretary Boutwell,
on Saturday, issued orders to suspend all further
printing of fractional currency notes. Upon ex
amination it appeared that there was
"ancient currency to meet all demands
upon the Treasury for the next forty
days, and Secretary Bontwell, therefore, came to
the conclualon to stop the printing of more notes
until a thorough examination of affairs in the
Currency Bureau could be had, and it can be es
certained whether the interests of the country do
mend the leaning of any farther sums of fractious.
currency.

I epeeist Don:latch to tile Phis. Evening Bulletin.ll
WAsnuarrom; March lb.—General satisfaction
is experienced at the now assignment of Depart
mental Commanders. General Thomas will pro
bably be assigned to the command of the Depart
ment of the Pacific. General Schofield takes
Sheridan's late command in the Indian
country, with his headquarters either at St.
Louis or Port Leavenworth. Co lonely Schofield,
Wherry, Captains Rathbone and Enniss are re
lieved from duty in the War Department, and
accompany Gen. Schofield. Gen. Campbell re.
mains on duty in the War Department with
Secretary Rawlins.
It is now improbable that General Sheridan
will go to New Orleans, as ho has been in con
tinuous service ever since the beginning of the
war, and will probably be granted leave of absence
for eerie time, at his own request. He said this
morning that he did not &Miro to go to New
Orleans:
It is believed in military circles that General
Howard will be sent to the command of the Fifth
district, at New Orleans, since General Sheridan
does not`care about assuming his old command.

Deaths in Parliament.
Death has been busy amongst the members of
the new British Parliament. To the number of
peers who have already died must now be added
the name of Lord Wynford, who expired Febru

The deaths of five s peers and five members of Inc

may stated that last year up to the time of the
dissolution, on the 11th of November, only six
members of the old House of Commons had been
removed by death.
FRANCE.
Way a Large Army Is Maintained.
The Paris correspondent of the London Dailj
New says that the liforriteur eArmie, which is
a semi-official journal, patronized by the Minister
of War, publishes an article widely and omi
r °ugly at variance with the pacific professions of
the government and the notion that the result of
the Conference on the Crete business is a serious
step towards the realization of that grand deside
ratum, "arbitration instead of war." This mili
tary journal, which lies on the table of every
military mess and is taken by every café fre
quented by officers, lays down brOadly the fiend
ish proposition that "war is the natural state of
nations." Hero Is a specimen of its re:worries%
Without war nations become effeminate and
degraded. Where the soldieris wanting the man
of money gets the upper hand. It is to specula
tors and Bourse gamblers that war does most
harm. Do not civilization, arts and commerce
owe their most precious conquests to war?
France bas no covetous ambition. She does not
want to disturb either the order or the repose of
Europe. But she will not disarm. Her arma
ments have now attained the highest degree of
perfection. Her arsenals are full, reserves drilled,
her fortified places in good condition and the
Mobile National Guard, which will become &con
siderable auxiliary force to the re gu lar arm, is in
course of organization. Prance knows that her
glory consists in the Eclat of her arms. She will
not forget what she owes to her valiant troops,
and she will know how to maintain that rank in
Europe which she owes to her soldiers. Let us
not, therefore, return the sword to the scabbard.
The sword is the arm of honor and patriotism;
but there is a far more dangerous arm, and one
which more than the sword compromises nations
and individuals; this arm, gentlemen utopiste, is
your pen."
Washington's Birthday in Frankton.
A letter from Frankfort says : The 187th aunt
versary of General Washington's birthday was
celebrated here by Mr. William W. Murphy,U. S.
Consul-General, by a brilliant ball at the Hotel
d'Angleterre, which was elegantly decorated with'
'lowers and flags for the occasion. A large por
trait of the General, with those of General Grant
on one side, and the late Mr. Lincoln on the
other, bung in the itception room. They were
beautifully wreathed with American flags;
and in the dancing ball was a handsome
medallion of Washington. More than 150
persons belonging to the elite of German
and American society were present, and among
them the representatives of the foreign Powers
residing in this city; the French, Italian, Bra
zilian and English Consuls-General; the Chan
cellor of the Austrian Consulate; President Von
Modal, and the veteran Generale (Prussian) Von
13oyen, Von Frankenberg and Von Ranch. Par
low's (Pomeranian regimental) band, one of the
best in Germany, •heightened the pleasure of the
evening, and the dancing was distinguished by
the most varied tours and surprises in the cotilion.
The refreshment tables were furnished in the
most abundant and tasteful manner. The fete
was prolonged to a late hour in the morning.
CUBA.
Iteportett Defeat of ` the , insurgents
sear Puerto Prittelpe.
HAVANA, March 9.—lf Spanish accounts are to
be believed Brigadier-General Lesca has raised
the siege of Puerto Principe and entered the city
with his army. Ancording to them a stubborn
engagement of more than four hours' Windier:
was fought• on the morning of the 28d, in Los
Paredonnes, near the hills of Limmones and the
village of Tuabaquey, about half-way
between Guano.% and Puerto Principe, in
which the Insurgents, 6,000 strong, wore
badly routed by General Lesca's column of two
thousand five hundred men, which caused Gen.
Quessda to raise the siege of Puerto Prlncipe,and
thus allow General Lesca to anietly, join his
troops to those of he garrison on the 24th. In
these accounts for'something very unusual, the
Spanish lose in :Abe engagement is given thus:
thirtylthree killed, Including Captains Manuel
Margo, and Ricardo Escobar, and 108 officers
and men wounded; while for'something still
more unusual, that of the insurgents is not
specified, and no prlionere are'said to have beau.
taken from them. The accounts are - not official,
but are from certain,Spaniards of Nuevitas, and
came by a Spanish vessel that brought no mail.
In a few days we shall , know whatdegreeof faith
is tote placed in them, after the Mali 'steamer,
shall have arrived from Nuevitai. Many people
here do not believe them at all,' and think, they
have been gotten up to cover np

!From the N. Y. Herald of toglanl
Muian It —During the earlier portion of the week
which has just closedgold was very fitful over the news
from We' hington with reference to the Cabinet selection
for Secretary of the Treasniry. It was net until Tuesday .
or Wednesday that the inability of Mr. Stewsrtto accept '
the pot tfolio war made fully definite, and meantimegol d .
underwent a reaction from the low figure to width it
descended when the appointment of that gentleman was
first announced. The rise was umuch as two per cent.
when it became apparent that some other than Mr.
Stewart should occupy the position. The effect of tho
choice of Mr. Boutwell was de raving upon the
premium, but not to the extent that Mr. Stew.
art's name4roducet Other influences came in to
check the! which would doubtless have been aa great.
since Mr. Bon well is known to be thoroughly -in accord
with the President noon the question of the national
creel'', His protection Mau too, are of a character t
create a tendepicy to slower premium, and it fa fair to
preenme that no will set in harmony with Congress and
the President in all etepa which contemplate maintain
ing the revenues of the government up to a point fatly
sufficient to meet not only its regular outlays, but lay
111160 regular contributions to the fund for gradually
paying oil the national debt. The other influences re- .
fared to originated in the foreign market for our
bonds c hick declined from the p. (micas high prices
through a misunderstanding of the tenor and inportance
of the, difficulties attending the formation of the new
Cabinet. In foreign countries a dela. , in the organize
ti on of a new government is a depressing influence up^n
the public funds. A change in the Ministry of England,
foe instance. is one of those salons events which we are
at a lose to comprehend with our simpler ideas of govern
ment. The delay, therefore which ensued in the or
ganization of the administrative bureau at Washington
woe viewed In • very unfavorable light abroad. and the
enthusiasm manifested for our 'securities was temporarily
checked.
he money market during tbo week Was very even.
the rate on call loans renikining steady at seven per
cent„ with the usual exceptional transactions at six.
The abolishment of the old system or quarterly state
men% while it has relieved the market from the spasms
of pi rlodical stringency, operates to keep the interest
rates nears r the full legal figure at ail times- the banks
being desirous of maintaining a strong tuition in antici
pation of Far t ll far any lu lu y which the Comptroller
may select- hin reason hardly probable that the
rate will fluctuate as low as it need to during the interval
between quartar.days in the old system. and it is equally
likely that it will not ascend to anperlegal figures, unless
through the interposition of artificial causes.
There is a full supply of commercial paper in the mar
ket owing to the accumulation of stock with commission
homes and d , scounte toward the end of the week were
MOTO active. the rate ranging from nine to twelve per
cent. There is no discredit of makers, but it has not been
selling as freely as usual owing to the high rates on call
loans. 'The country hanks and out of town dealers are
buying at present figur es . the margin over the regular
I ate Leine the inducement.
The stock market was devoid of excitement, and lin
dens eat very few charges, wide fluctuations being con.
fined to one or two of the miscellaneous list. The market
was independent of the influences arising oat of affairs
at Washington.
Southern securities wore, in general. higher and firm
in tone through sympathy, more or less defined.with gw•
eminent bends. The Southern States all manifested a dia
posit,on to puss a law requiring to or outside 'wo
rm:we companies to deposit *Pate fleis as security with
the Btate anti:writhe,. The demand which thi. measure
has end will create for Southern bonds is another source
of strength in the market

POLITICAL.
Langetreetoe Case.
The Washington correspondent of the Herald
sap:
When the Senate goes into executive session
to• morrow the nominations sent in on Thtasday
end rt ferred to the appropriate committees will
come up for action. There is a good deal of talk
over the case of General Longetreet, nominated
for Surveyor of the• Port of New Orleans on
account of his connection with the rebellion.
It is undenstood,however, that the Committee on
Commerce, to which the nomination was
relerred, will present a favorable report,
and it seems to be the general opinion that
Longetreet will, be confirmed without much op
position. There will be no trouble about the
other nominations. It is understood that the ap
pointments in Louisiana still open will be filled
through the regular channels. Ex-Governor
Hahn. expected here on the 11th, has not yet
made his appearance. It is stated that he has an
eye on eome one of the New Orleans appoint
ments so summarily filled by the President, and
his non-appearance is accredited to this sudden
overshadowing of his prospects. Gen. Longstreet
called on Gen. Sheridan last evening and had a
brief, but friendly interview.
The New Oileans Appointments.
The Washington correspondent of the Spring
field Republican says:
The New Orleans nominations occasion ,con
elderable uneasiness in the Senate. Longstreet
will go through without any difficulty, as he is
an efficient Republican. The officeto which he
NM nominated is' worth only e 3,500 a year and
bee no patronage. The Louisiana Senators ear '
that Longstreet's Republicanism is sonod.
