_ Tun ARREST OF ONE EARL, the "Grand

results in some important revelatiiins.
Ells papers, were seized, and are found to
cover the names of most of the leaders in

many "orders," one of which, no date
given, disbands . that gang of assassins

by the Memphis Post, to be the most im

THE city of Chicago doubtless pays to

THE Friends' Review for February con
firms the rumor that the President' has
been consulting with Friends upon Indi
an affairs. 'lt appears that he has asked
for the names of persons suitable for ap
pointment as Agents, and that he has en
gaged to promote any work by Friends
to improve the condition of that /people.
A remarkable mnvement_was /made in
the Senate, on Saturday, and a Sena
tor who, if rumor were worth anything,
knows the Indian ring as well as any
man living. Ha proposes now, to prohibit
any new agreement with the Indians,
who are to be declared legally incapable
of making any contracts whatever. This
looks as if the ring were throwing up
their hands in disgust.
Woogy,
DulaNo the debate, some weeks ago, -
inlhe House of Representatives at Har
risburg, Mr. NICHOLSON, of Beaver
county, was reported as making a sharp
criticism upon newspapers in general,
and the GezzTrz in particular. This
greatly surprised us, for we had always
regarded that gentleman as possessing
more than common breadth of view, so
-- - .
lidity of understanding, and integrity of
purpose. Presuming, however, that he
had been correctly reported, we made a
bitter retort, such as the provocation
seemed to call for. - He now denies that
he made any unfriendly comment upon
this journal; and, under the cireum
sta.ribes, we can only express regret for
the tartness of our remarks in reference
to him.

"There is not to-day a man In the na:
tion who can make a demand on Grant.
The Republican party was forced to nom
mate him for President—AND THE REPUB
LICAN PARTY MUST FOLLOW GRANT IN
HIS POLICY OF GOVERNMENT, OP. IT WILL
00 TO PIECES."—State Guard.
The Republican party nominated Gen
eral Gnais^r because they believed in his
honest, capacity, and general concnr
ence With their avowed purposes. In
his inaugural address, he made the strong
and sensible drlaration, that while he
should "alway have a policy to recom
mend, he ahonld have none to enforce
against the •o l ivi t li of the people." That
he will abandon that wise and salutary
position we I discover not the slightest
reason for believing.' No apprehension
is felt on that score by. Republicans any-
where. ‘.
But, we cannot refrain from remark
ing that the Republican party was tried
four years by ,the apostacy of a chosen
leader,'filling the presidential office. It
did not follow him, and - did not go to
pieces. Nor are Republicans any more
likely, in the future than in the past, to
abandon, or suppress their convictions
on
cardinal questions. If !the Republican
partylield its Sentiments and resolutions
subject to the will of any one man, no
matter how- eminent or deserving, it
would deserve annihilation, and the
sooner it encountered it khe better would
be for the Repubiic and for all nations
upon the eart h.
W mutate' s proposition in the Sen.
ate to suspend the Office Tenure Act until
the 4th of March, 1873, is unmixed Jinn
kyism. If that law is right, it should re•
main, and .be enforced. If wrong, it
should be repealed.
The Senate, by the Constitution, is
made part of the appointing power. A
tendency has almost unifOrmly bees de
veloped in the Executive, to ignore that
conjoint authority, or regard it as ob
trusite and impertinent. Great abuses
'have been practiced by different Presi
dents in exercising the power of appoint
ing to and removing from I office, inso
much that it isk`ot marvellous that
the Senate has at times bees jealous at
the invasion of its prerogatives.
The Office Tenure Act grew in part on
of this natural indignation of the legisla
tive bodies at the encroachments. of the
late President upon the iiglita of the Sen
ate, and in part out of a shameful weak
ness, disclosed by endeavors to shirk the
manifest duty of impeaching and xernov
lug the presidential incumbent. • Under
this latter impulse , the law was made un
duly rigorous, if not offensive. Various,
suggestiens have been made , for its modi
fication, some of which have been adopt
ed and others are likely to be approved.
Congrese clearly ought to do one of
two things,either repeal' the law or put it
in suchshape as to stand 'as the rule of
action for all Presidents.
PITTSBURGH GAZETTE: I NIONDAT„ MARCH- 8 , 1869.
DIR. A. T. STEWART'S CASE.
President EIRANT nominated Mr. A. T. --
STEWART for Secretary of the Treasury,
and the Senate confirmed the nomination,
in ignorance of the law of 1789, ohan
izing the Treasury Department, which
debars any man engaged in importing
goods from Place in the revenue service,
and that the form of oath for all Treas
ury officials conforms to this law. Mr.
STEWiRT imports more goods than any
other Citizen of the tnited States. Both
Alm law and the reasons back of the law
apply with greater force to him I than to
any other individual. ' i
Wien the President discovered that his
nominee Was ineligible he sent a message
to the Senate asking the passage of a joint
resolution 'exempting him from the opera
tion of the law. This suggestion does
credit to the friendship of the President
for Mr. STEWART, but we think fuller
'reflection will satisfy him that it ought
not to be complied with.
This'. law has stood for eighty years.
and IMs ruled out of the Treasury De
partmentthree generations ofpommercial
men, some of them certainly Mr. STEW
ART'S equals in all personal and business
qualifications. The lawl is based upon
salutary principles.' Even honest men
are unconsciously biassed by their inter
ests. INo reason can be adduced for mak
ing an exception in this case. which will
net apply with equal 'cogency to all
cases. If the law shall stand hereafter,
and be enforced against other persons, it
, should be made operative against this one.
The new President, in his' inaugural
_address, uttered pregnant words about
the enforcement of the laws. It is not
well that he so soon asks to have a law
with which no fault can be found, set
aside, for the promotion of any man, no
matter how eminent or deserving.
Besides, there are considerations which
touch the dignity'of both the Senate and
House of Representatives which should
constrain them to hold to the law as it
„
exists.
In - these observations we do not recant
or modify what we said on Saturday as
to the competency . of Mr. &raw - Am for
the performance of the duties to which
he has been assigned, or the gratification
it would give us to have him actually fill
the appointment. We spoke in the same
ignorance of the law which misled the
President and Senate. Mr. STEWART
Las it in his power to make himself eligi
ble by retiring from business. He has
an overflowing fortune, and would fitly
round out his career by ending as Secre
tary of the Treasury. We are always
('pleased when perkns of conspicuous
abilities are taken from business callings,
and-put into the l iublic service. The
i .
, more of such men who are thus promo
-1 ted the better, ex ept in those special
lines in which a p ofessional training is
indispensable.
' Nor yet have we any repugnance to
Mr. STEWART beeline° of his espousal of
Free Trade. The Republican party, as a
national organization, has sedulously al>
stained from taking any position whatever
on thattopic. It was organized originally
to resist the encrokhrnents of Slavery.
It then assumed the duty of carrying
the Government safely through the su
preme ordeal of t 4 war. Now, the obli
gations devolve ori it of reconstructing(
the Union, of fortifying the public credit,
and of restoring peace and prosperity to
all portions of the Republic. While a large
majority of Republicans are Protection
ists, their platform of doctrine binds no
one to that policy:. Consequintly a Free
Trader has the same standing in the party
ass Protectionist. Mr. STEWART'S grand
letter of April 291, 1861, in reply to a
Memphis customer, who demanded to
know . if he was contributing to uphold
the Government, baptized him into the
Republican ranks, and he is entitled to
his position as *ally as Mr. Swan.
• But. with all his eminence as a man
and a merchant, 'Mr. STEWART is not of
such importance that Congress or the
people can afford to deflect a wise and
salutary law from its proper operation for
his convenience l or advancement. If he
was the only man in the nation fitted to,
preside over the ir reasury, the'bose would
be different. Aa there are many men who
possess abundant quihfications for the
position, to set aside the law in his be
half wouldlie to initiate a system of ex
clusive privileges at variance with repub
lican ideas and of badlendeney.

.IS BE A FREE-TRADERt
Because Mr. k,. 1 1 . STEwsnr, of New
I ts
York, has been for years past probably
the largest American Ira rter of foreign
dry-goods andrirtieles of hionable lux
ury, which are ; very prop rly taxed high
at the custom-houses, his brother mer
chants in that .itjr
his seem to have taken it
for granted that business interests
Would lead him in the direction of free
trade. We have even in Pittsburgh mann
factnrers who lean the same way. We
are not surprised, therefore, to learn that
several hundreds of these gentlemen,
agents, for thi;amost part, of English and
Continental nu facturers of textile fab
rics and the-metals, la° .have the most•
potent inducentents to desire the itbelltion
of all tariffiniotection for our American
industry, meti in New York, on Saturday,
toVongratulate each other on their reviv
ing and almost assured hopes, in this sur
render of the Treasury to Mr. STEWART.
I)
For the same reasons, the Western free
trade journals—more n ley than numer
ous—which sympathiz , with Binning
-ham, Liege, Geneva an Marseilles, join
in the New York pmans to the putative
Secretary. • •
These people have missed tkeir figure.
=
Mr. STEWART does not share in the mo•
fives which are most potent with these
free-trade champions of foreign industry
"He is not the agent of any EnrOPean
work-shop. He buys their goods, to sell'l
them again. He buys upon no better
terms than ample cash and an unimpeacha
ble credit would confer upon any dealer.
He has never asked odds of the foieign
manufacturers, or special terms by reason
of a privity of interest.. We doubt if his
immense business has ever yielded to
him a dollar of revenue from mere com
missions, on sales. We doubt if either
an increase or an entire remission of the
duties upon such goods as he sells would
have any direct effect on his trade. With
still higher rates, his customers would
buy nearly and perhaps quite as much,
and he is shrewd enough to know that an
absolute free-trade would speedily so im
poverish our people that • his business
would no longer yield any profit what
ever. Free-trade might suit some hun
dreds of his pCtty competitors, but it
would never sustain his vast business ar
rangements, which now enable him to
lead the market. We would sooner be
lieve that Mr. STEW/31T prefers, in his
own interest, the highest duties not abso
lutely • prohibitory, to that free-trade
which would fill our seaports with foreign
commission houses, and would eventually
swamp every branch of American trade.
These considerations lead us to doubt
the authority with which the free-trade
school are claiming the new Secretary as
one of themselves. Nor do we doubt it
any the less when we see his selection,
by the President, forhe Treasury, com
mended by a journalist whom the free
traders have not yet claimed as one of
themselves—Mr. HORACE GREELEY—in
the significant language following:
"Mr.; A. T. Stewart was selected as that
man whose very ! name would give an
other assurance that our debt would
be paid to the utmost, and as fast as our
creditors can desire. Mr. Stewart has
only to apply to the collection and dis
bursement of the revenue the same prin
ciples and methods which have secured
him such eminent success as a merchant,
to restore the Government to solvency
and financial .prosperity. lie is not a
politician, and he will manage the Treas.
ury purely as a 'business concern, with
intent to raise the largest possible rev
enue at the smallest cost, whether to the
-eople or the Government. He cannot
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
Republicanism is nowhere more deeply
rooted in thei popular heart than in the
city of Auburn, and its county. of Cayu
ga, in New 'York. Bnt Auburn has
always been partial to its townsman, Ex-
Secretary Sawauo, not for his political
heresies, but fo his personal worth its a
citizen and nei hbor. Even his politics,
which they ha steadily and vigorously
repudiated at each recurring election,
have never bee bad enough to blind his
neighbors at home to a just appreciation
of the splendid abilities, vast experience
and, take it altogether, the well de
served fame of their distinguished
townsman. Personally, heever been a
favorite among them. I h as Ni ftB natural,
therefore, that his present retirement from
all public _ , life, returning to that elegant
and hospitable home which he will leave
again only for his final rest, should be
made the occasion for an expression of
kindly personal regard from neighbors
who, were always justly proud of the
citizen. They haire offered to him a
public reception,, which they intended to
be of the most distinguished cordiality.
But Mr. SEWAUD thus replies to the COM. -
mittee : - •

but I absolutely clecline'any public meet

mony or demonstration, because all such
things tire unnecessary. The old house
will open as easily to them hereafter as
heretofore." .
And thus an Amerian stateisman, al=
ways eminent and; at one day, possessing
conspicuously the confidence of millions
of his countrymen, passes, yet living,
into history. • _
TEE INDIAN WAR ENDED.
' Now comes by telegraph from the re•
mote frontier, the gratifying tidings of
the end of the Indian war. Not one hos
tile savage remains within the limits of
Si:firm:lmes late command. The broken
bands which hover near the Mexican bor
der are closely watched by CTISTAB,
while throughout the whole of the vast
territory which lately was scourged by
the roaming foe, pep has been achieved,
and its absolute sectirity restored to our
citizen-pioneers. The war has been short,
sharp and decisive. It has been waged
at a great pecuniary cost, but it has
cheaply purchased the first solid and en
during peace which our arms and our en
ergy have ever conquered from these red
Arabs. We have made the elements
serve us as well as our steel; and the con
fidence of these savageehas been broken
and humbled forever.
In this campaign, General 811621DiN
has added another laurel to an already
abundant wreath. He now proceeeds to
the Cap tal to receive the deserved con
gratnla one of the gtovemment.

TEE CHICAGO PLATFORM ON
SUFFRAGE.
We trust that our candor will not be
regarded as offensive when we remark
that the effort of opposition journals to
establish- an inconsistency between the
Chicago platform and the Republican
advocacy of the XVth article, is to be as
cribed rather to stupidity than to malevo
lence. For the most part, what these
journals maintain as "Democracy" is a
mild form of insanity: It was homicidal
and d'angerous from 1861 to 1865, but
has since subsided into a harmless War
herency, which constantly appeals to
Our sympathies, but no, longer
justifies any reasonable apprehen
sions for our safety. It is said of in
dividuals that when the brains are out
the man will die—and it is usually true.
The drat gun-shot against Sumter blew
out the last of the "Democratic" brains,
and yet the party still lingers and lives
upon the verge of dissolution. The latest
proof of its mental incapacity is alluded
to above. Should a lucid moment antic
ipate its Anal extinction, it may then have
a dim glimpse of the distinction in the just
powers ofthe States before and after the
adoption of the X.Vth Article, and that a
platform which recognized the first situa
tion does not preclude an honest effort for
its change.
A LOYAL RECORD.
On the 29th of April, 1861, the follow•
ing letter was written and sent to Mr. J.
T. SPRAGUE, of Memphis, Tenn., by
Mr. STEWART, whom the President nom
inated for the Treasury Department last
week
Dear Sir: Your letter requesting to
know whether I bad offered a million of ,
dollars to the Government for the purpo—
ses of the war; and at the same time in
forming me that neither yourself nor
your friends would pay their debts to the
firm, has been received. The intention'
not to pay seems to be universal in the
South, aggravated by the assurance in
your case that it does not arise from ina
bility; but, whatever may be your determi
nation, or of others at the South, it shall nct
change my course. All that I have of
position and wealth I owe to the free in
stitutions of the United States, under
which, in common with all others North
and South, protection to ` life, liberty, and
propeity have been enjoyed in the fullest
manner. The Government to which
these blessings are due calls on her citi
zens to protect the capital of the Union
from threatened assault, and although the
offer to which you refer has not in terms
been made by me,l yet dedicate all that
I have, and will, f needed, my life, to the
service of thckcountry to which I am
bound by the 'Strongest ties of affection
and duty. I bad hoped that Tennessee
would be loyal to the Constitution, but,
however extensive may be secession or
repudiation, as long as there are any to
uphold the sovereignty of the United
States I shall be with them, supporting
the flag. ii.LESANDER T. STEWART.
TIIE Georgia and Louisiana questions
were discussed freely in the Republican
caucus at Wuhing,ton last week. A dis
patch says :
It is understood that no action will be
had in the matter until after the Su
preme Court of that State has rendered
a decision in the case now pending as to
the power of. the Legislature to exclude
the negro notes from the Legislature.
There are many leading Republicans in
Congress who maintain that Georgia Is
not entitled to representation. , on the
ground that she has failed to comply with
the reconstructionthe caucus was a good deal
divided.
THE Cleveland Leader.of the 6th says:
The agents of the Atlantic and Great
Western Railroad and hiahoning Branch
haVe been notified that the contract ex
isting between the Express companies
and the Erie Railroad, have been dis
solved, ,and
nduc that henceforth the business
will be conducted by the mad itself. The
new line will be known as the "Erie Ex
press Line."

THE New York Tribune says:
In the great contest 4, between Mr.
Director Delmar and Mr. Commissioner
Wells for the Secretaryship of the Treas
ury, each destroyed the chances of the
other. The fighting was beautiful; the
gouging was never excelled; but in the
end they made a Kilkenny cat perform
ance of and only a small bit of the
tip of the tail of each can now be seen.

Fatal Runaway, Accident—Man Killed
Mr. Joseph Williamson employed as
driver on car NoJ 41, Troy Hill branch of
the Manchester Passenger Railway, met
with an accident about ten o'clock on
Saturday morning, which resulted in
his death. The car had just turned the
corner of Federal and Ohio street, dom
ing toward Pittsburgh, whena horse at
tached to a butcher wagon' came dashing
up the street at a frightful speed. Wil
liamson jumped off the car and seized
the animal by the bridle, which, how
ever, did notebook its speed. Maintain
ing his hold, W,illismEon was dragged a
considerable distance -without injury,
but in turning the corner, to run down
Ohio street, the horse shied toward - the
curbstone and the man was caught be
tween a lamppost and one of the wheel
suffering a crushing of his left side and
other serious internal injuries. The
horse was brought to a standstill by
the collision, and the unfortunate man
picked up and taken into the drug store
on the opposite side of the street, where
medical aid was rendered, but without

• A New Organization.
The Iron City Mutual, Life Insurance
Company is the title of a new institution
organized by a number of business _men
and others in Allegheny. The Company
have located their office at No. i 4 Fed
eral street, and will be ready for business
after the present week. The **lron City,"
is organized on the mutual plan, so popu
lar with stockholders in insurance com
panies, by which each stockholder or per
son
insured receives a share of all profits,
thus having the advantage of dividends
and an insurance policy, which is, in
fact, a twofold paying investment.
Over
re one hundred persons have al
ady applied for d o and _the
prospects for a safe and paying business,
are very flattering. °unimportant advan
tage claimed by - the organization of the
company Is that the premium rates can,
and will be reduced • much lower than
most of the companies which are now
in the field, and being run on a much
more extensive scale.— As the "Iron
City',' is a home institution,land managed
by Men of business and caution, it
certainly should and dtact
oubtless will re
ceive a hearty support. The following
are-the officers : President, Captain R.
Robinson; Vice President, Rev. J. B.
Clark; Secretary, Jacob Rush; Treasurer::
C. W. Benney; General Agent, David
Swoger; Solicitor, A. S. Bell.
Of Pittsburgh Rearing.
Our impression is that Pittsburgh does
not send forth from her many gifted sons
heoproportionate share of candidates for , •
the learned and liberal professions.
However that may be, we are glad to
take occasion in announcing the fact that
Rev. John Rea occupied - Dr. Jacobus'
pulpit yesterday afternoon, to express
the pleasure we took in listening to his
earnest and but modest presen- _
tation of the gospel message, and the
wish that our' community might be more
numerously represented thus creditably
in the pulpit of our land and in the mis
sionary operations of the universal
church.
We congratulate our - old friend and
fellow citizen, Samuel Rea, Esq., on the
hopeful prospects with which his son is
entering upon the duties of the pasto
rate. An unusually protracted course of
study combined with an pettiest purpose
e
to discharge the vows of his office, give
assurane that the young preacher's ex
cellent n tural gifts will be exercised to
their full extent in the legitimate work
of the ministry. . 1
