Monday, April 11, ISM. Anatole Levy, the carrier of the Bul jn West Philadelphia, south of Market street, is a reliable and trustworthy man. Per sons wishing to have the Bulletin served in that part of the city will please leave their naffies at this office.:, THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. Saturday was a day that renewed with peculiar vividness all the glorious associations of the glorious Army of the Potomac. The celebration of.the surrender of the rebel leader Lee was. the occasion of such an assemblage of the heroes of the war as Philadelphia has never before seen, and will probably never see again. The stage of the Academy of Music and the banquet-hall of the Continental Hotel presented two spectacles, so crowded with all the associations of the desperate and dark days of the rebellion, so illus trated by the presence of the great soldiers who compelled the submission of do mestic treason and rebellion, and the respect •f the whole civilized world, that they will never he forgotten by any who were privileged 4© witness them. The great outpouriugof the loyal people of Philadelphia in the morning, who packed and overflowed the spacious au ditorium to do honor to the noble Army of the Potomac and its illustrious leaders, was such a demonstration as might have been anticipated in the city whose patriotic heart always beat in ■iiisnn with that gallant army, in all its trials and troubles, as it did in all its glorious achievements and victories. Scarcely can it be hoped that just such a galaxy of the great names that have woven themselves into the glorious history of the struggle for the American Union will ever be gathered again. Grant, and Sherman, and Meade, and Sheridan,-and Burnside, and Franklin, and Schofield, and McDowell, and Heintzelman, and Humphreys, and Parke, and Hunt, and Pleasanton, and a noble array besides of the brave soldiers who are embalmed in the glorious history of the Army of the Potomac; all these were grouped together, to celebrate the crowning victory of the ninth of April, and to renew their pledges of mutual fellowship and affection. No wonder ft»«t the enthusiasm of the people of Philadel phia blazed out as it did, in spontaneous wel come to the brave men to' whom they owe a debt whose obligations they gratefully recog nize, hut which can never he fully repaid. The festive gathering at the Army Banquet, in the evening, again brought the Paladins of the Potomac together, in more intimate and social intercourse, to fight their battles over, and to renew the cherished memories of their never-forgotten dead. Very touching were the manly tributes paid to the names of Sedgwick, and Reynolds, and Wadsworth, and gallant Phil; Kearney, and the unrecited list of the brave comrades who once shared the toils and triumphs of the Army of the Potomac, but who strewed every mile of the weary way from Washington to Richmond, ag General Meade so eloquently said on Satur day, with their graves: « On many a bloody plain Their ready swords they drew, Aa>d poured their life-blood like the rain, A home—a heritage to gain, To gain for me and you! Our brothers mustered by our side; They inarched, they fought, and bravely died For me and you! Good friends, for me and you! Such re-unions of the American armies have a most salutary effect. They revive in the hearts and minds of the people the patriotic sentiments and associations of the past. They keep bright, and strong the bond of union and fellowship among the officers of the armyl They exercise a powerful influence in breaking down old army feuds and jealousies, in clearing np misunderstandings, in revising erroneous judgments, in aiding the important end of securing a true history of the relations which individuals and armies bore to the great events of the Rebellion. TRAVELING MADE EASY. . It has only been within the last very few years that any important advance has been made in the traveling facilities of the American people, from the general system of railroading existing thirty years ago. There has been a gradual, bnt not very rapid improvement in the construction of roads; the original system for checking and forwarding baggage has been extended and perfected; the general style of cars is more elegant and comfortable; and that is about all that could be said about any essential improvement in American railroad 'ing, nntil the Pullman Brothers, of Chicago, ‘introduced a new condition of thiugs to the public in the form of those “ Palace Cars,’’ which have already become famous throughout the West, aud are now rapidly making their appearance upon our Eastern .roads. Those who have traveled at the West, during the last few years, are familiar with the new order;'of. things by which the old discomforts of long railway journeys have been entirely done away, and a system iutroduced in their place which makes it almost as easy and com fortable to travel as it is to stay at home. Aud now, the Messrs. Pullman have turned their at tention to tire Eastern roads, and after conquer ing one prejudice after another, and surmount- ing almost innumerable difficulties, have ex tended their operations until they cover almost the whole American continent. Whoever remember—and many do, to their sorrow—the dark, stuffy, unclean coffins, tech , ideally known as the “sleeping cars” of recent times, so utterly uninviting that nothing short ef the most desperate necessity drove travelers into them, hail with delight the fact that the Fnllman Brothers, having no more Western ' worlds to conquer, have obtained the control ! pf the principal Eastern roads, and are now rapidly stocking them with the same superb appliances that have won such fame at the West. Traveling Is indeed made easy, when we take with us, on onr journeys, our drawing loom, our kitchen, our dinihg-room, our bou doir, our .sleeping-r.dom, 'ohr reading-room, all jn complete ail'd elegant order, furnished as only the favored few can furbish their own houses,and managed with a degree bf neatness, order and general attention'to comfort that, the Bridget of the Nineteenth Cent ury has made miserably rare in the houses of the American people. . ■ \ To those whose peregrinations are mainly confined to the shorter routes radiating from Philadelphia, the Pullman Palace Oar is,as yet, a, novelty; but out of nearly a hundred ol these splendid cars now being built, a large proportion of them ate designed for the Pehn sylvania .Central and tho New York, Philadel phia and Washington roads. Last Friday, one of these Palace which had run from Chicago toNew O.leah?; strived in Philadelphia, on its way to San Francisco. During- its brief halt, Mr. Pulljnan availed hjm self of the opportunity to give a practical de monstration of its merits to a number of the prominen( railroad officials Of this city, with a. special view to ascertaining whether his large care could be worked through the short tunnel at Trenton. The trial proved successful, and the one anticipated difficulty in placing these, locomotive palaces "on the New York road Was thus disposed of. , , , , These Palace Cars have been too often de scribed to need any detailed account of their peculiar features. It is enough to say that they combine, in compact shape, all the require-, ments for entire comfort and repose during the longest journeys. But what is really their most important feature is not sq generally un derstood. We refer to the increased safety which they afford to travellers. These cars are befit, not only with a view to supplying every attainable comfort, but also with an eye - to seeming the • utmost de gree of security. Their strength has proved equal to the most severe tests. Every part is put together with the greatest solidity, and while the-increased weight contributes to the smoothness of the motion, so that an ordinary wine-glass stands upon the table of the dining saloon, almost without a perceptible ripple of its contents, the strength" which has been at-, tainedlias beeuNfepeatedly able to resist the shock of accidents which would have crushed the ordinary car like an empty egg-shell. It was only recently that the “ Hotel Express” on the Union Pacific road, composed of seven of these Pullman coaches, was thrown from the track, and scattered along the roadside, no one of the cars being left within thirty feet of the track. Yet not a single car or passenger receacd any serious injury. Had the same accident occurred to an ordinary train, it could not have failed to have been attended with a fearful loss of life. The general introduction of the Pullman Palace Cars,and of the Wharton Safety S witch, wonld reduce the perils of the rail to their minimum; while the maximum of comfort, enjoyment and general accommodation would be attained. The San Domingo scheme having been de feated in the Senate by the refusal of that body to take decisive action upon it, General Butler has undertaken to engineer it, through the in strumentality of a joint resolution in the Douse. His efforts to introduce this resolution have thus far been futile; but it is announced that he will attempt to get it in again to-day. If he believes in the excellence of the scheme, bis perseverance is creditable; but we hope and believe that he will 'not have the support of a majority in either of the Houses of Congress. Popular feeling in this country is adverse to the annexation of San Domingo; and the unan swerable arguments urged against the enter" prise have, we believe, defeated it finally. Gen’ Bntler’s method* is ingenious, bnt it is not more popular than the administration scheme, and the zeal that prompts it is open to the suspicibn of obtain ing inspiration from a desire to curry favor with the administration, rather than to a wish to serve the best interests of the country. If he is beaten in this undertaking, and is still anxious to be the champion of the annexation policy, General Butler may have a chance to win laurels by advocating the cause of certain new claimants to our guardianship. The 6avages of Fiji have entreated our government to extend to them its protection so that they can organize a Repnblic upon their islands. Perhaps some of the same objections might be made to this undertaking that we urged against the San Domingo scheme. We have enough to do to protect and manage our own people, and to guaranty a Republican form of government in several of our own states. But, if we remember rightly, we have a direct in terest in the Fiji Islands. Some time ago a demand for the payment of certain American claims was made upon the King of the Caunibals, and as his cash ac count wa6 short at that moment, he gave us three of the islands as an earnest of his inten tion to pay up when he could. We hold a mortgage now upon Maturi, Amblliki and Naitiri. So, if we should undertake to pro tect the King, and help him to'organize a strong, government, we should enhance the value of, our own property, andhave a better.chance of obtaining the money due for those claims. The only question is, whether it would not cost more to back the Fijis against the British and native opposition than to pay tire entire claim outright from the Treasury. We fear that it would ; but the subject may be worth conside ration, and we recommend it to General But ler and the annexationists. Certain of our public men appear to he unhappy if there is not some scheme on foot for territorial acqui sition, and as the case of San Domingo is liopelebs, why not take a turn at this Fiji scheme, which may justly claim attention upon the theory that it is our duty to look after those three mortgaged cannibal islands?

CABINET RUMORS FISH AND HOAB CONIRADICTORY REPORTS Penial of the Resignation Ramor THE SPANISH SEIZURES Release! of the Steamer Lloyd Aspinwal FROM WASHINGTON. laaiwed KtdcaMm *r Atteraey-Gen «nlHmr- (Bp**U Deoatch to tho Tbits.Brenlug BbH«Ub.J Vishington, April lltb.—The positive an nouncement in a morning paper of yesterday that Attorney-General Boar had tendered his resignation, which the President reluctantly ascepted.made quite a stir in political circles, aha was the means of a rnmor becoming cur rent that Secretary pish would also leave the Cabinet at once. Upon being interrogated, Hr. Hoar said there was no founds lion for the statement, and that, unless the President desired otherwise, he would remain in the Attorney-General’s office for some time to come. Mr. Fish also denies that he has tendered his resignation or has any intention of doing so. He would gladly escape from the cares and toils of his present office, but in this matter he must lay aside any personal feelingß and remain so long as General Grant thinks the country needs his services. Mr. Fish says that,m> far.as he is able to observe, there is no more prospect now of any changes in the Cabinet than there was six months ago. Tk* Kelmre of the Steamer lloyd As plnwall—-bite tie Ordered to Be Jtelea.ed. The Spanish Government seized, about two months ago, in Cuban waters, the American steamer Lloyd Aspinwall, on the suspicion of being engaged in aiding the Cuban insurgents. Tho steamer at the time was in the employ of the United States authorities, , and was carrying official despatches from Admiral Poore, at Port-au-Prince, to Havana. .Secre tary Fish made a piompt demand for her re lease ; but this was not complied with, but as curanccs were given that if no evidence was fonnd against her, the vessel should bo re stored to her owners. A good deal of cor respondence ensued between the State De partment and the authorities at Madrid, hut still the vessel was not set free. Finally, last, week, Secretary Fish, finding that the Spanish authorities were purposely delaying the vessel, sent a sharp and peremptory de spatch to Madrid, demanding that sho be re leased at once. On Saturday he received the following despatch from Minister Sickles, informing him that the demand had been complied with. “ Madrid, April B.—Tlic-Minister of Stato informs mo that instructions hare been sent to Havana to release the steamer Lloyd Aspin wall immediately, and to settle all questions relating thereto in a most friendly manner.” [By the Americas Press Association.)

Sommes, Lieutenant Com manders Robertson and Goring and Lienten ant Schonler, in presence of the officers and crew of the vessel; that in December, 18G9, he attempted to desert from the vessel, and that when arrested in the act of desertion he brandished a boat-hook at and threatened Lieutenant Craig and Ensign Shaw, his superior officers, who made the arrest, chal lenging Lieutenant Craig to personal combat “King was sentenced pj be confined in double irons till an opportunity ofiers of sending him to the United States in a United States vessel, when he shall be sent; and during the passage home he shall be oonfinedin double irons, and on his arrival in the United States he shall be confined in such prison or penitentiary as the Hon. Secretary of the Navy shall desiguate,for five years at hard labor,the time of conti nemo nt in. the prison or penitentiary to count from the date of the sentence;-to forfeit all the pay which may become due him, amounting to $926 09, he being now in debt to the Government to the amonut of $.',4 91, with the exception of $25, to be paid to him on hiß discharge from confinement, and at the expiration of ills term of sentence to bo dishonorably discharged from the naval service of the United States.” Secretary Robeson, in promulgating the proceedings of the Court, says: “It is apparent from the record of proceedings in tills case that Joseph King, the accused, had before this tvial been severely punished for tho offences set forth in these charges and specifications. The circumstances attending his confinement show that more was done than merely holding him in custody to await the action of a general court-martial. Whatever was extra to legal confinement was punish ment, and though sutterlngs were inflicted which no sentence could lawfully impose,and which were as illegal aud cruel as they were unnecessary to his safe-keeping, tho fact that the punishment was illegal and cruel does not deprive him of his.right to plead that punish ment as an expiation of his offence. The Sec retary will not here comment upon the nature of the punishment as set forth in the pleasof the accused. This Is uudor in vestigation, and will be dealt with hereafter as circumstances may require. The finding and sentence in this ease are disapproved and set aside for the reason that the accused had been already punished. Ordinary seaman Joseph King will, on receipt of this order, be discharged from confinement and restored to duty.” Washington, April 11.—Tho House re sumed the consideration of the Tariff bill at two o’clock.
