However worthy each of these gentle
men may be personally, or however well
qualified to direct the affairs of the respec
tive Departments over which they have
been called to preside, it may safely be
inferred that on the whole,..the Cabinet is
not adapted to meet the tastes and wishes
Of that class known as politicians. Per
haps it will on that account give the
greater satisfaction to -the masses of the
people.
Comparatively few Republicans even
of the entire mass have any other favor to
ask of the President and his constitutional
advisers, than an upright, firm and ener
getic administration of the governmentin
accordance with the laws, and for the
highest good of the whole people. At
The recent election the Republican princi
ples were broadly proclaimed, and tulmir
ably enforced. Those principles were en.
dorsed at the ballot-box, and Republicans
confidently expect to see them carried out
by their chosen agents in the high places
of the Government. Beyond this, on all
questions relating to the distribution of
patronage and the like, they are measura
bly, if not - altogether indifferent. In the
Cabinet appointments, they will lee noth
ing.— to impair their confidence in the man
their suffrages elevated to the Presidency,
.but much to confirta it.
AUSPICIOUS PROMISES.
In May last, Gep. Cimino was placed
in nomination for the Presidency by a
Convention politically representing, It
was believed, a majority of his country
men. The same body, at the same time,
declared the leading principles upon
which his electlon would be advocated.
In due time, the nominee announced his
acceptance of the position, and "endorsed
the resolutions" in which these principles
were embodied. Pledging himaelf to ex
ecute the laws and to respect the will of
the people, "with the vie vi: of giving
peace, quiet and protection everywhere,"
and declaring again 'that "peace and
prosperity with economy Would lighten
taxation," he closed with a marked re
iteration in that memorable invocation,
"Let us have peace "
Of the fourteen resolutions of the Chi
cago platform, one was an indictment of
the then Acting President, and one was a
tribute of honor to the soldiers who had
fought our battles and won back for us our
menaced liberty. It Is not to be expect
led that Erasure S. GRAFI. would dwell
upcin the one, or reiterate the other. — Of
the remaining twelve, six words briefly
comprehend their. essence : Honesty,
Equality, Liberty, Fraternity. Magna

which our candidate, Whom we elected
in November, and who formally assumed
ori Thursdai his official trust, has ad

that day to this hour, to the just copy
of the plattonn -he then endorsed. His
first official . declaration, the, Inaugural
Address, redeems the promises of the
HAWLEY letter, and is itself but the para
phrase of the Chicago Catechism Ofße
public:lw ' faith.'The Inaugaral repeats

ety of the discriminatlon—which forbade
what would have been, at that moment,
an unseemly =4 needlessly offensive
Executive declaration of Republican pro
pagandism—will command the approba

neverthelesti, that the President—himself
personally so brilliant an example of suc

ciple of the twelfth Chicago resolution
demands alike for people and for indi
vidnals—willever be found administering
his high office in the Interests of Liberty,
Justice and Peace, throughout the world
and toward ail its peoples?
In his Inaugural, we shall find not one
principle declared, not one measure rec
ommended, not one measure of official
duty or Executive privilege, which is
without its precedent in the Chicago dec
laration of Republican faith. Nor can
the most unfriendly criticism discover In
that platform one principle' enunciated,
or one duty avowed, for which Thurs
day's Inaugural, with the just exceptions
we have noted, does not renew the official
pledge of their new President to his
countryme.n. The platform, the candi
date's letter of acceptance, and the Pres=
ident's first Executive utterance are
each and all the harmonious parts In one
whole, and each so faithful to one com
' mon end that either might stand as to
day's:expression of the other.
" We have had no solicitude for the poll

We have not awaited his Inaugural Ad.
dress to learn where he stands to-day, and
for the coming years. We do not read,
in his first Executive Communication ,to
his countrymen, any new exposition of
the best national policy at home or
abroad. We do not read the history of
the President's future in the light of his
4/augural words, but we do read those
words in the light of his own and the
nation's past—in the ligl4 of a personal
reputation which no dishonor has ever
yet sullied, and of a national experience
in which all good fortune clusters around
the immutable principles which Appotna
tox vindicated, which the Chicago Con
vention proclaimed and which President
GRANT long, long ago, accepted for the
guiding stars of his administration.
And thus we read the, new. President's
political and official horoscope. There is
no mystery in such astrology. No cloud
less night reveals more clearly to an un
tutored eye the bright glory of Ursa Major
and the changeless pole-star to which
that constellation is ever true, than do
these lights, of which we have spoken,
guide the eyes of forty millions of his
countrymen to.the inflexible principles
and purposes of his Executive policy.
The four years to come shall see every
law-abiding man, within this Republic,
the full vital of every man his neighbor;
liberty under the law shall be the indis
putable attribute of an universal citizen
ship, for all men who have ,souls to
save, and whom Heaven shall judge for
their : lives accordingly; the Golden Rule,
which every intelligence accepts as the
safest of human guides, shall direct - the
millions sp one man; the nation shall
once more re-inaugurate the virtues, and
revere the obligations, which alone can
win for the individual the approbation of
his own conscience, the esteem of his fel,
low-men and the favor e l f Heaven; and
the Republic shall attain a place yet
higher among the nations, since it has
twice conquered itself, overthrowing first
its armed,traltors, and then—a yet harder
work—purging out the wickedness of its
own rulers
We have an abiding faith that a glori-
Ous apotheosis of Public Virtue and
Prosperity awaits the people under the
administration of this-President. Every
art of peace will flourish, because peace
itself is to be the keystone of the public
policy. We shall have peace at home,
and peace abroad. The peace which this
man has so steadily invoked wean° sham,
nor will it be so found. It will not he a
peace which seeks foreign ware for a
bare punctilio, or for any temptation of
aggrandizement. It will be the peace,
with God's grace, which passeth the un
derstanding of the foolish or the unprin
cipled, and which-shall smile upon the
hearts of an honest people, and bless
them in basket and store. With this
peace, said our candidate last May, will
come universal prosperity as its sequence.
We know that this prosperity is all that
our country needs. Could we have a more
suspicions promise?
g•EXTREtIE CONSTITUTIONAL
MEASURES."
The opposition 'merqberi in each
branch of. the Indiana Legislature are
able to defeat the present ratification of
the XVth Amendment', by a simultaneous
re.signitlon, thus leaving either House
wahout the constitutional quorum of
three-fifths. And this factious course
has been resolved upon. The result will
be that ratification by Indiana mast
await the election of a new Legislature;
in which the amendment'will be made an
issue. Whatever doubts may have been
hitherto entertained ad to its acceptance
by the people of that State, the factious
and disorganizing tactics now adopted
by the orositlon leave no doubt what
ever that they will find themselves in a
stilt more decided minority.
This Democratic "bolt" in' Indiana
throws over the final ratification of the
amendatory Artitle by the required
ber l of. States until meat winter. Never
theless, it is , desirable that eNery possible
MARCH tf, 1869.
State rteabanld..tarsecti2ed -for -it now. -
If the opposition in other States think it
safe or wise to adopt the Indiana tactics.
the experiment upon the popular pa
tience will prove to . them a losing one.
As that party is consistent only in its con
tradictions and its inexplicable blunders,
we may expect to see the experiment tried
elsewhere.
An opposition journal before us speaks
of this Indiana "bolt" as an , "extreme
constitutional measure." There
,is noth
ing constitutional in it, for it is a flagrant
ylolation.of the highest duty vihidh the
legislator assume by his Constitutional
oath; it is a violent interpolation of parti
zanship, to block the constitutional func
tions of the law-making power; , it is a
revolutionary defiance of the popular
authority entrusted to legislators for their
exercise, according to their discretion,
with an ultimate popular responsibility,
and it substitutes the decree of a party
caucus for the letter and spirit of the fun
das;tental law. These "extreme consti
tutional measures" never yet did any
good in the long run, and never will.
Yet we rejoice that it cannot be resorted
to in this Commonwealth,,for. as a bare
majority in each House constitute a cclit
a constitutional quorum, if all the Demo
crats should resign, the Houses, would
still be able to act.
DESERVED RECOGNITION.
The members of the great and powerful
Independent Order of Odd Fellows will
celebrate on the 26th proximo, in Phila
delphia, the semi•centennial anniversary
of the establishment of their society on
this continent. The occasion promises to
prove one of the most interesting con
nected with the history of Odd Fellovr
ship in America, and will attract dele
gates and visitors not only from all parts
Of our country but from foreign lands.
The principal feature of the exercises
will be a grand civic procession in which
some twenty full divisions of the order
will participate, forming the most impo
sing demonstration of Peace ever wit
nessed?in the City of Brotherly Love.
General T. A. ROWLEY, United States
Marshal for Western Pennsylvania, Grand
Marshal of the State Grand Lodge of
Odd Fellows, has been very wisely
chosen Chief-Marshal, and under his
superior management, and direction the
parade cannot fail •to be orderly
and precise, and creditable to the noble
order under whose auspices it will be
held. The high honor thus conferred on
one of our justly estemed andpliant
fellow citizens is fully appreciated rin this
community, and indeed, throughout the
entire commonwealth, for no gentleman
is more universally known and respected.
His universal courtesy, generosity of
heart, and high-toned, honorable nature
render him as Conspicuous in civil as he
was in military life, and the present honor
conferred upon him could not have been
more worthily bestowed or, more generally
seconded by the public at large.
General ROWLEY has designated Hon.
JARES L. Giteneid, State Senator, and
General B. BIDDLE ROBERTS as his as
sistants, appaintnients which must afford ,
'unqualified satisfaction to all interested.
DEATH OF HON. CHAS. SHALES.
Hon. CITART SHALEN for nearly half
a century a resident of this city, and dur
ing most of that period a member in high
standing of the legal fraternity of Alle
gheny county, departed this life yester
day at Newark, New Jersey. The de
ceased filled several important trusts dur
ing his lifetime, among them Judge of
the Allegheny county District Court,
Judge of the Court of Common Pless, and
United States Attorney for the Western
District of Pennsylvania. He was senior
partner for a number of years with Enwris
M. STANTON and Tu. thinsTLETTEU, EL
'legal combination of great strength and
influence during its continuance. Sev
eral years ago the deceased retired from
the profession, and carried with him
into private life the respect of all
the lawyers in this section, as well
as that of the general community.
He was a member of - the Trinity Episco
pal Church and was a high-toned, hon
orable and conscientious Christian gentle
man who has left behind him a record of
many good deeds performed in the name
of his Master. He had attained the ripe
old age of four-score years, and possessed
the vigor of his intellect up to the day of
his soul's' departure. 'His remains will
arrive in this city to-day for interment in
the Allegheny Cemetery, and will doubt
less be followed to,their last resting plias
by the , many friends and admirers who
will be painedi to receive the announce
ment of his passing away from life to
eternity.
PENNSYLVANIA OIL REGIONS.
From the =allay reTtort of the Titus
ville Herald, We learn that there were
nine thousand 'seven hundred and sixty
tive barrels of oil . produced in the Penn
sylvania oil regions daily during February
—a decrease of four hundred and thirty
barrels in comparlhon with the 'previous
month. The wells at Pleasantville
showed a lame, decrease at the close of
the, month, and some ten or fifteen had
ceased to produce in- paying quantities.
The average daily production reached
one' thousand eight - hundred barrels, or
three hundred and fifty barrels less than
that of each day in• january. On Church
twit and in the vicinity of Titusville, the
average daily product for the month was
-four hundred and eighty barrels. in the
Allegheny river district - between Fiank
lin and Brady's Bend the daily produe
,
Lion reached an average for the month of
emit - six hundred and - seventy barrels—
a slight increase from .January,
The total number of wells !completed
during the month was sixty-four, and of
this number all bukfour, or one-sixteenth,
produced in 'paying quantities. The
average yield was smaller, however, than
that of all the wells struck in the previous
month, and if the price had been fifty per
cent. lower not over three-fourths of the
wells tested would have been considered
successful.
Of the number of wells completed,
thirty-five were located in the Pleasant
ville district, twenty-five along Oil creek,
on Upper and LoWer Cherry reins, and
five on the farms along the Allegheny
river. In the extreme north-eastern part
of the Pleasantville district, several new
wells were commenced and operationg
were begun on about fifteen others, but
in the southern and central parts of the
district the demand for leases fell off con
siderably, and but very few wells were
commenced. On the let inst. three hun
dred and thirty-four wells were being
bored in this region, four only of which
are located outside the. Pleasantville dis
trict. On Cherrytree run, near Petrole
um Centre, several farms have• been
leased, and preparations•are being made
to sink about twenty wells during the
next three or four months. On Cherry
run and vicinity severalleases were taken
during the month, and the demand for
territory was good.
The stock held in the regions was' on
the first inst., two hund red and eigty
two thousand four hundred and fifty bar
rels; which included that held at the wells,
about eighty thousand barrels.
It is eontadently expected that in the
Spring, new life will be given the trade.
and that sections hitherto neglected, but
which are known to be rich in oil depos
its, will be thoroughly tested. From the
figures presented' above, it does not seem
apparent that the Pennsylvania oil re
gions are becoming exhausted, but to the
contrary, continue to hold place as the
leading oil producing territory 'of the
continent.'
WE DON'T reprint what DOE PLATT'
says about GRANT'S reception when he
visited the lobby of the House, the other
day, because we believe his statement,
you know, but because we have some
Democratic readers who will. Says D. P.:
When Grant came out I was struck
with the manner in which the crowd fell
to the right and left, looking earnestly in
the General's face, and. covering their
own with an expression of profound res
pect, 'almost amounting to abject humil
iation. Ashley alone, with his huge per
son, ' broad face and curling locks,
seemed easy, comfortable and self-sus.
tained. His amiable face wreathed with
smiles, and he seemed to regard Grant
very much as a huge turkey gobbler
looks down on a bantam game cook of
thepoultry-yard, as •if saying: "Well,
yes, very good for a little game cock—
very good, indeed, but then he isn't a
turkey gobbler, you know."
I must say 1 , prefer Gobbler Ashley's
patronizing to the forlorn snobbishness
of the abject respect. I took comfort in
fact that my compatriots did it awk
wardly. It is not natural. and differs
widely fro?n the way courtiers move
about Queen Victoria or Lopis Napoleon.
There is a finished ease about the last
named worshippers that covers up and
makes agreeable their toadyism. But our
American says, through his manner. "I
know that I am. nisiking , an ass of my
self, but I have' o do it.
Amusements.

EDITORS OP GAZETTE : Your seders

which she is wont to meet an op nent:
and those of them who were pre ent at.
Dr. Clark's Church, on Thursda I even

there was no root of bitterness, word
that carried a wound . We hope t e lady,
will believe us when we say at her
milder mood is the stronger, that her de

humor, and pathos, are her strongholds.
She had manuscript.
.but appeared to •
speak extempore, gave a short-running
history of her political experience, which'
isptranger than fiction, and moved the ,
audience to tears by a brief allusion- to
her hospital life. Her. arguments on

have heard, and would be hard to an

A MALARMWS MONTH.
March, that gives us a new President. Le also
the inaugural month of many harrassing disor
ders. Entangled in its fogs are the seeds of
coughs, colds and of that alteration of frikiditY
and Pre. more widely known Mtn admind. called
lever and ague. The only way to .avold these
"little unnleasant.fesses." is to render the sys
tem strong enough - to light off the at mosphetic
poison that produces them. and the best way to
end... , It with .this repellant pqwer Is to tone it
with If , nTETTEft'S STOMACH BITTERS.
If a wayfarer were credibly informed that a
ruffian was waiting at the next corner, be would
doubt'ess turn in his tracks. and take a safer
route to his destination. With Just about the
same amount of troti..le, the attacks of diseases
prevalent at this season may oe evaded, Nat,
the trouble will - be less. for drug stores Ile in
every one's route. and every respectable &ug
ly
gist in the Union keeps on hand HOSTETTE
article

BITTERS The ion staple . 0 rade, and
it would be as easy to dud a g without
sugar, as the storeof an apothecary W ithout this
popular tonic remedy. . .
In view of the experience of the ation, with
regard to the article, during the space of twenty
years, it seems almost unnecessary to recapitu
late Its roerits r.
Amerleas. But as our popula
tion is increasin g at the rate of a couple of mil
lions In a year, in the natural way and by immi
gration, 'it may be as well to hint - to the rising
generation and new arrivals (the old settlers
know all about it,) that HOSTETTER'S STOM
ACH BITTERS Is the most wholesome and po
tent vegetable tonic ever manufactured, that it
is & specific fur decant's. eyspepsia, biliousness,
'and miasmatic fevers, tha it p. events, as well
