WIZ STATE AND THE CITY. in scarcely any State of the Union is the Republican party kept in the same condition of agitation as is constantly produced by the antagonism that exists between the State of Pennsylvania and the city of Philadelphia. With every change of administration, there is, of course, an eager rush for office, and a struggle is at once made by the country poll ticiansto obtain the prominent positions in Philadelphia. In this struggle they have frequently been successful. Senators and Congressmen, whose one grand idea is that they htive' been elected for the purpose of enabling them to pay off their personal political debts, swoop down upon Philadel phia with their candidates for every office that offers the slightest inducement, and by their persistent boring and their clamor about the claims of "the country," push out of the way our own citizens, and crowd their inex perienced and unknown friends into places which can be as well filled here, and, gen- erally, much better. It is time 'that the people and the pressof Philadelphia take a united and positive stand upon this subject. There is not a shadow of good reason why Lancaster should supply Philadelphia with a Marshal, or Westchester with a Naval Officer, or Towanda furnish us a Surveyor of the Port. What does all the interest of these inland towns in the port of Philadelphia -amount to, compared with Philadelphia's interest? What qualifications have any of the beat Republicans of the in terior, which give them claims to manage the business of this port or of this city, superior to those possessed by thousands of our own citizens ? Philadelphia has an interest, such as it is, in the post-offloes of Lancaster, Westchester and Towanda, but what would be thought of the 'Philadelphia members of Congress if theyshonld go to President Grant and insist upon his filling those post-offices with some of their neighbors or friends or followers ? It is a bad rule that will not work both ways. Senator Cameron, in the interviews lately bad with the President, lays great stress upon the right of the Pennsylvania Senators to a sort of patriarchal guardianship of the offices of the whole State. The veteran administra tor to the effects of the Republican party generously concedes to the several Republican City Congressnien the privilege of naming the unimportant local offices of their respective districts, but claims the chief share in the adjustment of the larger appointments in Philadelphia. Whether Senator Scott adopts the same views or not is not so clear. The probabilities are all the other way. But even if it be grantad, for the sake of argument, that Senator Cameron has an ex o f ficio right to this royal dispensation of the offices of Phila- delphia, by what principle of right are they to be given to his country friends? Those gentlemen may have done good service to the Senator, or to the party, in their several dis tricts; but, if office is to be given as a quid pro quo, At should be given in the field where the work has been' done. There, these gentlemen should have their reward. There is an abundance of material as good and, in some cases, much better, here in Philadelphia, from which to select first-rate men for every important office, and the sixty . thousand Republicans of Philadelphia should set their faces, as the face of one man,against this false policy of permitting Senators to bring their country friends or political credi ay tors here. to ush to the wall good men and true, tr • in the business-life of the city, known, r Fleeted and trusted by our people, and, in 'every way, fitted to carry out the noble principles upon which President Grant has founded his .Administration. The prindiple is a' wrong one. Senator Cameron, or Senator anybody else, has, from his position, a certain claim to consideration in the distribution of office. But President Grant is right in giving Senatorial and Con gressional nominations only a qualified pre ference. He does not hold himself bound by them absolutely,and the Senate, at large, will sustain the nominations of the President, upon the penciple that individual Senators must not impede a fair trial of his policy upon such mc.rely personal grounds as the failure of thePsasident to nominate their particular choice. The courtry is intensely interested in see ing President Grant heartily upheld by Con - gre Eß in his grand design of purging away the offences of Andrew Johnson. 113 Penn eylvania,the people of city and State are alike in earnest in 'gibs desire. They have no rympl o y J D the pen:y squabbles of individual politicians, high or low. They look to pre- Went Grant with a grand, simple faith,' and will stand, like a Wall of . tire, betw,een him and whatever other-power- seeka to-rule and control.him. In thisi 'present matter of the distribution: of offiCe, there la a plaih corn-, mon-sense in filling the various positions with men of their own localities. This is a prin ciple that the plainest man can understand. But the public catingt , understand, for the simple reason that, ordinarily, the interested parties cannot afford to explain, why country gentlemen;should be imported into Philadel phia to usurp positions which can be so sat isfactorily filled from the ranks of our own people. TUE MALYTIEN MISSION. The proposition to send a colored man as Minister to Hayti meets with a degree of favor which deitiiiiiiittates very conclusively how rapidly the prejudice against the recog nition of the very humanity of the colored race is giving way in favor of a liberal and generous desire to afford to its people every fair opportunity to vindicate their right to whatever equality they may win by their own merits. The name of Mr. Ebenezer D. Bas sett is strongly urged upon President Grant for the Haytien Mission, and there is good reason to believe that the people of Hayti will receive a representative from the United States of their own race, who will,by his own elevation, do much to stimulate his people both at home and abroad, to higher proofs of their capacity of self-government. Ebenezer D. Bassett, Principal and Pro fessor of Mathematics and the Classics in our Colored High School, was born at Litchfield, Connecticut, in 1833. Mr. Bassett graduated, the foremost scholar of his class, at the Bir mingham Academy, when oulte young, and afterwards graduated at the Connecticut State Normal School, with high honor, in 185:3. He immediately thereafter temoved to New Haven, took charge of a Pablo Grammar School, in that city, and eagerly availed himself of the facilities afforded by Yale College to prosecute the study of the Classics, Mathematical Science and Genearl Literature. In 1855,4 - ie was called by the Orthodox Society of Friends to the charge of our Colored High School, which, under his management, has become very widely known as the foremost institution of the kind in the country. The honorary degree of Master of Arts was conferred upon Mr. Bassett by the Lincoln University, at Oxford, last year. When, in response to the solicitations of friends, Mr. Bassett became a candidate for the Haytien Mission, he was immediately tendered the support of distinguished men in this and other States. Besides our own Senators and Representatives, Mr. Bassett's case has solicited the cordial support of Senators Buckingham, Abbott, Schurz, Sprague, Governor Burnside, the Professors of Yale College, prominent clergymen and civilians in our own and other communities, and in our city especially, the en dorsement of the daily Republican journals, and a memorial signed by the President, several Directors and about a hundred and fifty members, of the Union Lesgue. The society of Friends in this city has also given his application a very warm and substantial support. The loading men of his race, such as Frederick Douglass, George T. Downing, John M. Langston, as well as the National Executive Committee of colored men, have heartily argued his ap appointment. The New Orleans Bee, a fair representa tive of the few rebel sheets in the South which have begun the new era with open hostility to President Grant, now hopes "that the quarrel foreshadowed between Grant and the Republican leaders" in Congress "may ripen into an unmistakable and irreconcilable breach." The reason given for this cruel wish is that Congress rimy checkmate Grant as it did Johnson. Three weeks ago the Bee bitterly denounced Congressional rule. It wants it now because it is seriously alarmed at Grant's manifest intention to overthrow the Government and proclaim himself mili tary dictator. Singularly enough, Northern men who fought to perpetuate the republic are not apprehensive of any such result, and they might reasonably be supposed to be sensitive to any aggressive action on the part of the President if it was at all perceptible. We can assure the Bee that if it and its friends will strive as arduously to preserve the Union as they did to overthrow it, every one of the diabolical machinations conceived by the President against the Republic will be thwarted. Indcp, if the Bee's rebel friends will only be ita Howdy loyal as Grant, even the sturdiest patriots of the North will be completely satisfied. We sadly fear, how ever,that the real reason why the Bee desires warfare between the President and Congress, is that it would afford some hope of the be ginning of another era of dissension and mis rule, in which the rebels would again take hope and begin to labor for the lost came. It may afford some satisfaction to this anxious editor to learn that the restoration' of the Confederacy is quite as probable as Grant's assumption of the dictatorship. Mr. Andrew Johnson is going home on a curve. He swung on the Southern half of the circte as farm Charlottesville, Virginia, when it occurred to him to make a few -re marks. They were the old familiar observa tions about the Constitution and a corrupt Congress; but they seem to have pleased his audience as much as it they had been entirely fresh. But the speech did contain two novel suggestions: Mr. Johnson instituted a com parison between himselt and Cato; .and then declared his intention to go home and battle for the Constitution, and in the event of failure "to retire to his rural home, and there, amid his own groves, to pray for his coun try." This course would prove eminently satisfactory to Mr. Johnson's fellow-citizens; but while we would rejoice at his retirement, upon any plea, we would have cause to con gratulate ourselves that the welfare of the country depended as little upon his supplica tions as, upon his exercise of political power. If the prayers of the righteous, only, avail much, It is a matter of slight importance whether Mr. Johnson prays for the country or not. A little selfish devotion in his own behalf, however, would be a creditable thing at this juncture. And in view of his simili tude to Cato, and his admiration for that worthy, this seems' More necessary.

P. Cope. Caleb Cope, the elder, was Burgess of Lancas ter, Pa., under the British GoVernment, imme diately prior to the Revolution. Ho had five sons; John, William, Thomas P., Israel and Jasper, and, also, two daughters: Mr. Herman Cope, just deceased, was a son of John Cope,the eldest of the brothers, and, consequently, a ne phew of Thomas P. Cope. Our respected fel low-townsman Caleb Cope, - Esq., is aeon of the second brother, William. There is an interesting historical reminiscence connected with the Cope family, in Lancaster, which is worthy of note. Major Andre was cap tured by General Montgomery,in Upper Canada, while on his way to Quebec, November 8, 1775, and taken,with other officers, to Lancaster, where ho became an inmate of Caleb Cope's house. There, the eldest brother, John, then 13 years of age, received lessons in drawing from Major Andre, and the three brothers, John,William and Thomas had, in after life, vivid recollections of their games of marbles and other juvenile sports with the lively young English officer; who was destined to figure so terribly in the after history of this country. We call attention to the advertisement of First Mortgage seven per cent. Endorsed Bonds of the St. Louis, Vendalia and Terre Haute Railroad Company. This road forms an important link In the direct line from Philadelphia and New York to St. Louis, running from Terre Haute, Ind.,to St. Louis. About one-half of the 158 miles are already finished, and the entire road is to be open for traffic early in;1870. The bonds are guaranteed by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, and undoubtedly form a first-rate, safe in vestment. It will be seen that the bonds are for sale at the office of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and also by Messrs. E.

Erroll is under stood to hie a determined movement to secure a new line of railroad running must and west through Clarion; Jefferson, Clearfield and Cameron counties. The new road wilt connect with the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad at Ent porlum on the east and with the Allegheny Valley Railroad on the west. The projectors claim to have secured the aid and support of the Pennsylvania Central, which has recently , been working iq harmony with the Allegheny Valley Road. The route from Emporium to the Allegheny Railroad will be by low grades, none of them over twenty Lvt per mile, the course being through the volloYs of Bennett's Branch and Mahoning creeks. The State will be asked to exchange the bonds which It now holds of Philadelphia and Erie Company, amounting to three and a half millions, for the bonds of the new road, the payment of which will be guaranteed by the Pennsyl vania, Northern Central and Philadelphia and Erie railroads, and to exchange the bonds which will not be payable until the year 1912 for others which will be payable at the rate of one hundred thousand dollars per annum every year after 1875. The State will thus secure earlier payments and securities better endorsed than those she now holds, and the old Philadel phia and Erie bonds IA Ibe available to build a new and yaluable road through an undeveloped' mineral region.

THE LtqDLLN Tnianii Louis Downing, principal chief of the;, Cherokee nation, in a memorial to . Congress calls attention to tbefact that since 1866, as he is reliably Informed, treaties have been made with various tribes of Indians, with the view of ; settling them on the Cherokee domain,weat of. the 96th degree of west latitude. They were made in plain violation of the Cherokee treaty of 1866; in this, that the Cherokees, so far from having contracted with said Indian treaties in the sale of these lands, were not even consulted as to the price at which the United States has undertaken to dispose of them. He begs leave to express the earnest de sire of the Cherokees to carry out the provisions of the treaties with the utmost good faith, and,aa their chief, he will spare no pains and lose no oc casion to preserve and strengthen the happy re lations now existing between the Cherokees and the United States government. The Mercantile Trade. [ Special Despitch ' the Philadelphia Droning Ballettat Nsw Yonx, March 23.—The general trade does , not show that activity which was expected by the, merchants, and cone the volume 'of business cee- • quakily falls below previous estimates. , , The South and Southwest have made their prin cipal purchases, and, bereft of tble demand to , a, great extent, the mercantile trade lags somewhat, and there is a feeling of hesitancy, and the , West . is not taking hold with that vim which wee , pated. In feet, no renewed activity, on a grand', scale can be looked for until the canal, river and lake navigation is fairly opened. These remarks apply particularly to the department of dry goods, where a further general marking-down of cotton fabrics has taken place, in order . to force business. Reduced quotations have cer tainly increased trade,hut these constant fluctu ations are unsettling the confidence of buyers:. Jobbers in large western cities, have been under selling Now York of late, on cotton goods, so as to prevent country, Merchants - oqm visiting' the, East to purchase their supplies. Competition be tween Western cities and New York has been very great this season, and the result Is that a large amount of cotton fabrics has been distri buted at prices below the cast of production.

[S ATE—Coatlimed from Fourth Editfood Mr. Drake resumed his argument against the bill reported by the committee and in favor of his amendment offered yesterday. He hoped if the Senate did not adopt his amendment it would reject the mischievous bill re ported by the committee, or at least postpone action upon it until the Halt session. Mr. Trumbull briefly defended the bill reported by the Judiciary Committee, and moved to post pone action on the pending bill until the next session. Mr. Sawyer said that, postponement until the next session really meant postponement until the last days of the session, when the reasons urged, now for delay would probably be urged again for . further delay. Mr. Stewart said there was special necessity in many parts of the country for the early,passage of this bill, and he hoped it would pass the Sen ate without delay. tliouer—Continued from the Fourth Editioti.l, The previous question was moved, the amend ment offered by Mr. Benjamin was agreed to,and the bill was passed. The House then proceeded to consider the busi ness on the Speaker's table. New Yorif,.. ossey intirues (Special Despatch to the Philada. Eveni t till likw Yong.
