HAVE our neighbors of the Pose no re
buke for the Democratic representatives,
who, at Harrisburg last week, moved to
dispense with any 'appropriations for the
salaries of the Inspector, and his Assist

THROUGH FREIGHTS from New York
to Chicago, rated a few weeks since at
$1;88 per 100 pounds, are now taken at
thirty cents, and even less. The same

tariff.
Tin NEW Darien / Canal treaty, with
Colombia, is considered objectionable,in
-some quarters, because it guarantees the
absoljite neutrality of the canal, even as
against the two contracting nations, in
case of war. This is really, however, a
very strong point in favor of the treaty,
which is probably to be ratified by the
Senate.
OF OUR National Bank system, it is re
marked, by the Merchant's Magazine,
that the statistics of the January reports
furnish abuhdant evidence of its stability,
and that "it fulfills its design of giving us
an organized chain of banking institutions
*whose soundness and solvency will com
pare favoiably with those of any other
country in the world."

CoL. A. F. M'CLunn's interview with
Gen. GuraiT yesterday at Washington
decides only one thing, and that is, that
Ex-Gov. CuRvEN will not have place in
the new Cabinet. Who will be selected
from our State to fill the position of honor
was not Wormed out of the reticent In
coming president by the shrewd and in
c .
alve Pennsylvania politician, and wil
hardly be known until GRANT communi
cates it on his own motion to the country.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT,
as agreed upon by the Committee of Con
ference of Congress, which is the same
as originally passed the. Senate. with the
exception that the words"and hold office"
are stricken•out, was passed yesterday by
a very decisive two-thirds vote in the
House. It will be considered to-day in
the Senate, in all probability passed, and
go before the Legislatures of the various
States for ratification. By it all citizens
have the right to vote,irrespective of race,
color, or previous condition of servitude.
THE EXPORTS from New York last year,
excluSive of specie, were valued at $164',..
000,000, against $186,000,000 in '67. The
export of specie'and bullion was $71,-
000,000, or nearly twenty millions more
than the year preceding, and largely in
excess of any one of the five previous
years. The total value of all the impor
tations, at the same port, was $234,967,-
701. The total of foreign imports was
$251,193,834, of which about $12,000,-
000 were free goods; and $81,000,000
dry goods. The importations of iron
were, in pigs $501,704, in Railroad bars
t4,094,56p, in sheet $8,50,643, in tubes
$90,544, and in other forms $2,286,218.
The railway bars numbered 696i257,
which, at an average length of thirtyfeet,
would hiy over two thousand miles of
American railway tracks. This was the
importation at New York alone.
IF 'WE are to credit all the reports
which reach us, of Paraguayan cruelty to
our citizens, of the failures of our envoys
to vindicate the national honor, and of
the readiness of Admiral Dews to take
part in the denial, to Buse and Idearrm-
aux, -of the most coir.mon rights of
American cßizenship--we shouLd have
to believe that our Y,onor has been be
trayed by our ow,u National servants,
and our flag disgmeed by acquiescence in
flagrant inkults. Are we never to know
the truth of this Paraguayan business ?
Mr, WASIIIIIMIZE, is 'ben, the men who
were captive have been released and
brought home, Admiral DAVIS has no
doubt forwarded his report, the testimony
of General WEBB, our Minister at Rio. is
before the country, and there need be no
more delay in presenting a detailed nar
rative of the facts to the public judgment.
We should rejoice to see this subject re
ff,t
ferred to a Committee o he next House
for a.strict investigati n. Or the Senate,
which . seems to desi e an English war
on the question of the Alabama claims,
might possibly direct a spark of its bel
ligerent feeling toward these outrages of
a petty tyrant upon unoffending Ameri
can citizens. Has the Senate no time or
thought to devote to the wrongs of ,our
countrymen in another land, some of
whom have been tortured and others put
to death to gratify a despotic caprice ?
THE SPANISH THRONE.
The vacant crown of Spain seems to
hang between two candidates—the-Duke
of MONTPENSIER and 'the Portuguese
King FERDINAND. The former - a Bour
bon, but not of the Spanish branch, has
always been a favorite with the people,
while FERDINAND represents that ad
vancing sentiment, in both kingdoms,
'Which desires the re-union of the entire
Peninsula under a single monarchy. This
plan is less popular in Portugal than'
among the• Spaniards themselves, the
lesser kingdom regarding its possible ab
sorption with a jealous eye.
The succession will he determined by
the Cortes now sitting. It is not sup
posed that a proposition to submit the
choice to a popular vote will be seriously
entertained by the Cortes. Excluding the
, weight of about a hundred Democratic or
Republican members, the other pifrties,
comprising three•fourths of ( the ,entire
body, are supposed to be about equally
divided in their preferences. The Re
publicans, accepting a monarchy as inev
itable, will improve the situation to secure
all possible concessions; in the way of
royal responsibilities to the people
THE NEW ERA
Less than a week more will close Mr.
JOHNSON'S Presidential career. A new
President and a new Congress succeed
to the National power on Thursday next.
The new Senate will have thirty-four Re
publicans and twelve Democrats without
the Georgia members. The new House
has only two hundied and five members,
leaving thirty-seven yet to be chosen. Of
the former one hundred and twenty-seven
are Republicans and seventy-one Demo
crats, also excluding Georgia, nor would
the admission of the latter give us a two
thirds vote. Connecticut, New Hamp
shire, Rhode Island and North Carolina,
which are yet to elect, will make no ma
terial change in these delegations, which
will make the full House, 'Without Geor
gia, stand one hundred and thirty-nine
Republicans to seventy-four Democrats—
or less than a two:thirds RE:publican ma
jority, and if the seven Georgia members,
all Republicans, Were admitted, the case
would be still the same. When Virginia,
Texas, Mississippi and Colorado come in,
we are likely to have the two-thirds of the
House again, and not before.
We infer that Georgia will not be
counted in the organization on Thursday
next—nor afterwards, unless she makes
good her broken faith. And It is clear
that, unless adopted by this Congress,
the XVth Amendment will have to wait
some time for approval in the next. But,
for all legislation not requiring a two
thirds vote, the Republican control of the
XLlst Congress will be maintained in
ample majorities. With the Executive
and the Legislative once more in hearty
accord, the Republie is to enter upon a
new and happy career of honor and
prosperity.
THE CAIHNET-.WHAT WE KNOW.
The deelfuntion of the President elect,
that his Cabinet would be composed en
tirely of civilians, puts all speculation as
to individuals again at fault. At this
moment, ncr i man, except the General him
self, seems to know with certainty a single
name of the seven which the new Presi
dent will send to the senate next Thurs
day afternoon. If he has communicated
his wishes to Individuals, they are faith
fully keeping his counsels. In the mean.
time, most of the prominent politicians
are hurrying, from every section of the
country, to Washington, so as to be ready
in case the Executive lightning should
chance to hit their heads.
While there is so much that it distressefi
the politicians not to know, there is a
crumb of comfort in one or two things
that are so plainly manifest as to be cred
ited by every bodi. For example, if we
don't know who unff be chosen, we have
a perfectly clear idea who will not. We
know that neither Mr. FESSENDRN nor
any other of the seven anti-impeach
ment friends of "that man," as GRANT
styles him, will be taken Into the Presi
dent's Council. And we know that he
also sees and appreciates the Intense Ws
gyst which the Republicans /feel, in the
suggestion that the anti -protection cham
pion, Mr. WELLES, should enter the
Cabinet in any capacity. The free trade
clique,' who hang on like ticks to the Re
publican body-politic, cannot bring that
little arrangement about. If the Presi
dent had any lingering doubts on that
point, the vote by which the, House on
PIMBITRGH , GAZETTE :FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1869,
Wednesday, sa the instance of our Rep
resentative, declared its want of confi
dence in Mr. WELLES, would be finally
decisive.
In fine, if we cannot specify either of
the seven names to be submitted to the
Senate, we do know, and from the lips of
Gen. GRANT himself, that there will be
none among them who are not, in every
particular, acceptable to the great bOdy of
the Republican party.
TEMPERANCE BY LAW,
On Tuesday, the 23d Instant, the State
Temperance Convention, called by the
State Temperance "Union, met at Harris
burg. Upwards of one hundred and fifty
delegates, (including more than a dozen
feinales, were preient. The morning wail
occupied in organizing and in appointing
: i s,
commit ees of business, finance, etc,
In tit afternoon Hon. S. B. CHASE, of
Susqu nue, was elected permanent
Presicfent, after which several gentlemeh
read preambles and resolutions which
seemed not to meet with the approbation
of the Convention.• The substance of
most of them was, that the time has come
when a decided stand should be made
against the growing evils of intemperance
and the increasing power of its manufac
turers and sellers, and that prohibition
and total abstinence_ should be the great
central planks of a new political party.
Mr. FENN, of Harrisburg, thought the
Convention should urge upon the Legis
lature the importance of giving to each
city, borough, township, etc., the privi
lege'of voting for or against the prohibi
tion of the sale of liquor in that com
munity. Another gentleman •wished a
law passed, prohibiting the sale or com
position of adulterated provisions, bev
erages and medicines, and the appoint
ment of competent inspectors, with power
to examine and analyze any such goods
supposed to be adulterated.
Mr. Ntcnot.soles preambles and reso
lutions, which were referred to the Thisi
nese Committee, asserted that, although
much has been done and said against the
liquor traffic, the friends of the temper
ance cause find themselves still very far
behind the accomplishment of their great
object; that alcoholic fluids have no
value as beverages, and, therefore, it is
wrong to sell them as such, and what it is
wrong to sell it is assuredly wrong to buy;
that the buyer is a criminal participator in
an immorality which contains all the sub
stantial injustice of stealing, by giving a
consent which he has no right to give,
without which the evil could not be done,
and as this is without the paltry excuse
of profit, the buyer is, if there be a dif
ference; worse than the seller; that the
two thousand millions annually • transfer
red to the pockets of sellers is more
than the value of all the stolen goods in
the world, and, therefore, it is of much
more importance to be rid of liquor-drink
ers than to be rid of thieves; and it will
be impossible to get rid of thieves while
a respected liquor-drinking party exists.
Prohibitory leagues should be established
and sobriety should be considered as es
sential a qualification to office as compe
tency or honesty.
Several amendments to this were pro
posed but defeated, and finally ii was
adopted with the substitution of the fol
lowing for a similar portion of the origi•
nal report: /
Resolved. That local prohibition,where
ever it is possible to secure and enforce
it, is the true course for the friends of
temperance to pursue at this most import
ant period of the temperance movement.
On Wednesday morning the Conven
tion resolved to petition Congress to so
amend the Constitution as to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of all alcoholic
liquors excepting for medicinal purposes.
Nothing, else of importance was done,
and the ConVention adjourned sine die.
THE SPANISH QUESTION.
- -
The Edinburgh Retie concludes a
highly interesting article 7
upon Spanish
politics with the annexed remarkable par
agraph: %
"The whole problem of government
has to be solved. A long period of ex
cessive drought has caused a famine of
the most disastrous kind in the land; yet,
such is the total want of confidence and
security that no effectual efforts can be
made to supply the country with food by
importation and foreign trade. The
treasury is empty, the credit of the nation
destroyed by the wilful and deliberate re
pudiation of its former debts, even when
they might without difficulty have been
capitalized and acknowledged. For sev
eral weeks the govermbent has been car
ried on, as it were, by baphazard, by the
men who made the revolution, and
they have been obeyed rather from the
dread of_ worse evils than from
confidence in their wisdom. An as.
sembly / chosen by universal suffrage is
about to determine what the future in
stitutions of the country are to be.
Fol. the first time in the_ history, of
Europe, foreign powers Are wise enough
to hold aloof altogether from this new
phase of the Spanish succession; and
there is not so much as si serious candi
date in the field for the doubtful honor of
the vacant throne. The table is cleared.

The Alabama Treaty—in English View.
7,
The Pall Mall Gazelle of February 4th
says : Mr. Seward tormerl insisted that
his counsel should not be p ecluded from
adducing the proclamation of neutrality
as evidence Hof animus o the, part of
England, and as an act creating those
conditions under which a4ine the Ala
bama could have become innischievous.
We do not see that there is 'anything in
the Convention, as it stands; to prevent
this ground from .being still taken by the
counsel for the United States Govern
ment, or being embodied in some written
statement in its behalf. It certainly
seems that England may find herself in
the position she has Steadily refused to
occupy—that of defendant in a trial IL
volving a question of international law.
The fact that an umpire was known to i
have viewed our concession of bel
ligerent rights to the South as
a matter to be considered in de
termining our liability in reference to
the Alabama would destroy all confidence
in the justice of his decision, supposing
that it went against us. An award that
the oflicials in Liverpool or London had
not shown sufficient diligence in prevent
ing the Alabama from escaping would be
accepted by all reasonable men as per
fectly satisfactory. The question is one
of fact, and being such it is fairly within
the province of any disinterested person
who is in possession of all the evidence.
But if it is known or suspected that the
umpire arrived at the conclusion that we
are responsible for the depredations of the
Alabama, either because a Government
which had recognized the South as a bel
ligerant was likely to be careless in ,let
ting cruisers escape, or because if It had
not been for that recognition, her escape
could have done little or no harm, it would
be at onCe felt that we bad been condemn
ed on a question of law by a judge who
had no necessary knowledge of law, and
was not properly empowered to declare
it. If one or two conclusions which
may be arrived at by the umpire is safe to
_produce just and general dissatisfaction
in this country, it is a point worth con=
sidering whether it is wise to provoke
such a consequence.

These men thoroughly know, and have
long known, that the Democratic vote is
systematically swelled, especially in their
strongholds, by the ballots of non-resi
dents, minors, aliens, , "repeaters," and
others not lawfully clothed-with the right
of suffrage—that Representatives.in Con
gress are chosen, and States are carried,
by these frauds, and that their engineers
are liberally rewarded therefor with the
"spoils of , victory." Thus was Henry
Clay beaten in 1844, 'being defrauded of

of the votes of this State and New Jersey
in 1868. His friends in each polled more
votes than they expebted—at least 5.000
more in New Jersey, and nearly 20,000
more in this State. We had carried this
State against the most desperate efforts of
our adversaries in 1864, and again in
1866, polling in neither contest less than
270,000 votes. We felt confident of poll
ing 45,000 last fall in this city, and over
400,000 in the State; and this, , with only.

and ran down the whole list of names

The Cabinet—Franc's Latest Outgoings.
A Washington letter of Tuesday says:
General Grant is in daily consultation
with the prominent men of the Republi
can party, seeking information and ex
changing views with regard to the in
coming Administration. This morning
several prominent members of Congress
from Pennsylvania, among whom were
Messrs. Dickey, Morrell, and Cake,
called on General Grant for the purpose
of talking with him in regard to the Cab
inet. The spokesman of the delegation
said to General Grant that they had come
to urge upon him the importance of ap
pointing a Pennsylvanian to a position in
the Cabinet. They came in the interest of
no individual or clique. They intended
making no suggestions or ree,omnienda
tions further than that if Pennsylvania
was to tie represented, the appointment
would be given to a man who should be
known as an unflinching supporter of
the Republican party. General Grant
immediately replied that Pennsylvania
would be represented. He bad already
selected a man from that ,State whom he
intended inviting to a seatin his Cabinet.
He is a man who is a thorough Republi
can in politics, and would be as greatly
surprised at his appointment as would be
the nation. The General -then went on
to speak of political affairs and of men and
things generally.
During the conversation Gen:. Grant
disclosed another important feet. He
said that he had determined to re-appoint
Gen. Schofield Secretary of War. He
believed in the principle that civilians
should be appointed to fill civil offices,
and as Gen. Schofield would not resign
his commission in the army, his appoint
ment would be only temporary. His rea
son for making this temporary appoint
ment, was to compliment a man whom
he considered had done his d sty well,
and had served his country faithfully.
He further remarked, that were Gen.
Schofield a civilian, there would be no
man whom he would sooner select as a
Secretary of War. It is understood that
Gen. Schofield will remain in the Cabi
net for about three weeks, long enough
to aid the President in reorganizing the
Army. He will then resign, and be as
signed to the command of one of the
new military departments to be created.
These facts having been whispered
around the Capitol, there was a deal of
comment and discussion as to the Penn
sylvanian who is to sit in the new Cabi
net. Those with whom Grant had his
conversation said that, from Gen. Grant's
intimations, they were sure their coming
man was a Philadelphian. Every one ac
quainted with the prominent men of
Philadelphia is puzzling himself to guess
the person. Jay Cooke, Benjamin H.
Brewster, George H. Stewart, Horace
Binney, Aubrey Smith, Judge Allison,
and many others are mentioned. Gen.
Grant's remark , about appointing Only
civilians to the Cabinet has silenced the
surmises about Porter for the Navy De
partment. Gen. Grant's remarks to-day
are construed as ruling out Everts. and
all men of that stripe of politics. Bout
well, Holt, and Wilson of lowa, are al
looked upon as probable of selection.
Washington Items
To a remark that the country was
watching every indication of his inten
tions with great interest, General Grant
replied: "Well, they have waited several
years with patience, and I•guess they can
wait a few days longer. At any rate,
they will not know until March the sth,
wheri the names go to the Senate."
The announcement that Hon. Columbus
I Delano will be President Grant's Com
missioner of Internal Revenue seems to
give gratification to all who want an hon
est and a vigilant enforcement of. our
revenue laws, and occasions surprise only
among those who were unaware of the
degree of respect in which he is held
by Grant. He has ,been warmly con
gratulated by many persons to-day, but
maintains a discreet: reserve when ques
tioned about what has passed between
General Grant and himself. •
The delay in acting on the St. Thomas
treaty is improving the chances of its rati
fication. Various influences are at work
in favor of the purchase, and its friends
are confident it will be strongeri under the
next administration. Carl Schurz, whose
familiarity with European politics will
cause him to be put upon the Foreign Re
lations Committee, is understood to take
Mr. Sumner's view, that good faith ne
cessitates the ratification of the treaty.
A gentleman largely engaged in trans
portation has proposed to charter from
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad the pas
senger trains on the Washington Branch
Road, for three months from the 4th of
March next. This is done as a business
enterprise, founded on the asimrance of
the President elect that he intends to
have an honest administration of govern
ment, which will require the immediate
dismissal of several thousand persons em
ployed in this city, and a corresponding
number appointed from the different
States to fill vacancies.

lAn Appeal for the Relief Society of Alle.-
gheny. i
Although the past winter has been un
ustiall2,- mild, yet owing to the great
scarcity of work, it, has borne heavily on
the poor. Families hitherto supporting
themselves comfortably are in destitii
,
tion, and compelled to ask aid or starve.
No one visiting these suffering cues; and
seeing their struggles for life, can shut
their eyes to the most deplorable Lxmidi
tion of the honest, industrious working
class. The Allegheny Relief Society
have responded to the utmost of their
ability to the many mournful calls made
upon them from all directions. Their
treasury is exhausted, and they now call
upon the benevolent of our community
for further means of assistance to the
needy and wretched. We are the more
emboldened to make this appeal by the
liberal spirit with which individual con
tributions have hitherto been given us.
Can any one doubt the truth of the state
ment we present as to the absolute suf
fering, and even starvation, of those liv,
ing around us ? Oh, that they could see
with their eyes and hear with theirears
the sights and sounds of woe that meet
us daily in our round of duties. ' Who,
brought face to face with famine and
shivering nakedness, would not lend us
' whelping hand? We know that if our
wealthy citizens could realize the ap
palling extent of misery in our very
midst, they would hasten to afford relief.
In the name of our common humanity,
in the name of Him who said, "it is more
blessed to give than to receive," wh4 be
came poor, that we miht bo nisde rich,
we implore those who g are blessed with
comfort and competence, to listen to the
cup of their suffering fellow -mortals.
How else can they sow and reap such a
harvest of God's,blessing.i? Has He wimp
said, that "even a cup of cold water,
given in His' name, shall not lose its re
ward ?"
Contributions may be sent to Mis.,Fe
lix R. Brunot, corner of Stockton and•
Union Avenues, and Mrs. Dr. Trevor,
corner of Anderson and Leacock streets.

—The Illinois House of Representatives
has passed a bill providing for a gen
eral system of railroad corporations, by
dividing the directors into three classes.
It was in the interest of the Robk Island
road, to enable the present managers to
continue in power two years longer.
Members contended that the bill was
necessary to prevent Wall street brokers
from gaining control of all the Western
roads, and it would binder consolidation.
The vote on its possage was fifty-four to
twenty-two. . •
—Mr. Senator Wilson, Speaker of the
Senate, was inaugurated Governor of
Tennessee, yesterday, in place of Gov.
Brownlow, resigned, in presence of a
Convention of both branches of the Leg
islature, and a large number of specta
tors. His address foreshadowed no policy
for the future.
—The Illinois River improvement bill
passed the Legislature and goes to the
Governor. Fuller's Rai-owl Restric
tion bill has been reported back shorn
of the objectionable features, preventing
the granting of commutation and excur
sion tickets.

One of the. , most accurate ways of determining
