It is the custom of the press, says the Tel egraph to make the people familiar with all the dis-tinguiched representative men who are called to high positions in the govern ment, by furnishing brief sketches of their antecedents President Gr mt having set tled his cabinet on a permanent basis, by the appointment of Hamilton Hsh, of New York, to the Secretaryship of State, and of George S. Boutwell. of Massachusetts, to the Secretaryship of the Treasury, and the Senate having confirmed the appointments, it is proper that we should introduce thec high unetionanes to our readers, with such renaoic liilmniawou as will enable each of I 1 1 .... - . tlieni to, j0rm as correct a judgement of the merits and probable qualifications of these honored and honorable gentlemen as we can ourselves. We are of opinion that the se lection of Messrs. FMi au i Boutwell was di rected by the same wisdom which has char acterized most of the public acts, military and civil, of Presideut Grant. He is an ex cellent judge of men, and in this caSfe we think it will be found, as it has in others, that he has not been mistaken in his choice, and that Mr. Fish, for the State Depart ment, as Mr. Boutwell, lot-the Treasury, will be found to be "the right man in the right place." Hon. Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State, was born in New York city in 1809, and is consequently now about sixty years ef age. Us graduated at Columbia College, in his native city, studied law, was admitted to practieo in 1830, which he followed with distinction and success until 1S37, when he was elected to the Legislature by the Whig party, of which he was a prominent member. In the fall of !S42he was. elected by the Kiiute party to a seat in Congress, and served during the term. In 14S he was elected Governor of the State by the same party, in which capacity he serve i two years, when he was elected by the Legislature to the United States Senate, in which capacity he served six years ; after being possessed of ample means, he retired from public lifc.and has since devoted himself to travel, arts, lit erature and charities. His contributions to benevolent institutions and his charities to individuals have been frequent and liberal, but have been done quietly and without boasting or parade. He was one of those Whigs who were earliest in embracing the Republican cause. He was a warm friend of Mr. Lincoln; is a man of great dignity and fine presence ; a trustee of the Peabody Fund ; was one of the forty citizens of New ork who early issued a circular recommen ding General Grant for the Presidency. All his antecedents convince us that he will fill the first office in the cabinet with great abil ity and to the credit and entire satisfaction of the country. Hon. George S. Boutwell is a native of Brookline, Massachusetts, where he was born in 1813. He received no other than a common school education, working on a farm in summer aud attending school in winter. IIo wnt at an early acc to Groton, where twi lul)nnin ,.1 .-1. 1 C11 . " . i. .... vuiv vici a. anu uuauy proprietor ot a grocery store. He was fond of reading and a close student, devoting much of his time to the theory ot government. In his poli ties he was a Democrat. He had studied law with some attention as early as 1837,but diu iiot enter into practice until sixteen years later. For eight years from 1S42 to 1859 he was a member of the Legisla ture. Li tho fall of the latter year the Dem- I oerats and Free Soilers formed a coalition I against the old dominant Whiir oarfv of tho State. Mr. Boutwell and Mr. Banks.of the former, and Mr. Hoar, John A. Andrews, aud Mr. Sumner were leaders of the latter party. The coalition triumphed, which elected Boutwell Governor and sent Sumner to the United States Senate for the first time. Mr. Boutwall was elected in 1S52, and all parties acknowledge that he made an excellent Governor. In 1S53 he represented the town of Berlin in the great convention to revise the constitution of the State. This was looked upon as the ablest body of men ever assembled in Massachusetts, and by common consent Mr. Boutwell was ranked among the most able and eloquent of its members. His reputation for scholarly at tainments was so high that he was chosen to succeed Horace Mann as Secretary of the Board of Education, which position beheld for six years. He was a member of the Peace Congress which was held in Washington in ISt'.l, and was, under Mr. Lincoln, appoin ted first Commissionerof Internal Revenue. The office being newlv created, the tak of setting it in operation under the law was a difficult one. and in accomplishing this task, which he did to the entire satisfaction of the President, Congress and the public, Mr. jL-outwell gave ewdence of the possession of extraordinary executive talent. Having been elected to the 3Sth Congress, Mr. B. resig ned the office of Commissioner. His career in Congress since then is as well known to the public as to us. He has been a h-ading uisn in the Housi; ever since he entered it, with few eqnais and probably not a superi or, lie never went back to the Democrat ic party after the coalition formed with the Freij Soilers, was an early and always ar dent member of the Republican party, atid pos.sea-.es to-day, as he ever has, its entire confideoe. He is a hard worker, temper ate, robust of constitution,, and in every way equal to the duties of Secretary, which be will discharge with ability, and no doubt with general satisfaction. Major-General John A. Rawlins, the Sec retary of War, wa born in the town of Gil ford, Joe Davies county, Illinois, in 1831, and is now 3S years of age. Quite a young man to be called to the head of so impor tant a department. Like Boutwell, he re ceived originally only a common school edu cation ; but he was fond of study, and by application made himself a scholar without the aid of teachers. Whatever he is, he owes to his own ambition and industry. He is a self-made man. He . commenced the siuay ot law when nearly twenty-one years of age, finished it, was admitted to the bar, and gradually acquired a practice yielding biro a very respectable income. - In politics he was a democrat,' and being young, active and flwnt of speech, he figured ex tensively in the local politics of his section, and as a member of caucuses and conventions, 1 where his quick discernment and good judg- ment were displayed, he became known throughout the State and was looked upon as a young man of great prqniise.and" certain to rise and make his mark. Mr. Grant, who then lived in Galena, only a short distance from Rawlins, was a sharp observer of the latter, and formed a close acquaintance with bitn, which subsequent events ripened into friendship. But let events speak for them selves. In 1861 war broke out and Rawlins quit the practice of law, laid politics aside, and devoted himself to the task of raising volunteers for the army. As soon as Grant, who had also entered the service, rose to the rank of Brigadier General, (some time in 1SC1,) he appointed Rawlins to a position on his staff, with the rank of Captain. After the surrender of Fort Donelson, Gen. Grant made Rawlins Assistant Adjutant General on his staff ; and after the capture of Vieks burg made him chief of staff, which relation to General Grant he retained until bis ap pointment as Secretary of War. We close this brief sketch with what is the conclusion ot a more extended notice in a cotemporary paper: Probably there are not two men living who have, from first to last, through long years and trying campaigns, been warmer or more confidential friends. . As a lawyer General Rawlins rendered great assistance to Grant in framing his general orders, settling ques tions pertaining to and arising out of mili tary courts martial and of inquiry. As an executive officer General Rawlius has few superiors. He possesses great good judg ment, always viewing from a common sense stand point. He was usually coolest during the war in the midst of the greatest danger. He is one of the mcst modest of men in civil life.. He does not possess a petulant nature, but is always even tempered. One of the highest compliments that can be paid him is to repeat the generally recognized fact that all his brother officers, from the highest to the lowest, speak in terms of the greatest praise of him as an able man, a gal lant soldier, and a grnial gentleman. That Gen. Rawlins will perform the duties of the Department of War to the highest satis faction of all concerued.no doubt is ex pressed from any quarter, but, on the con trary, President Grant and the country may well be congratulated upon the selection. Surveyor of Customs. The President nominated, last week, Gen. James Longstre.t (late of the rebel army) to be Surveyor of Cnstoms of the Port of New Orleans. Tho Pittsburg Gazette (Re publican) comments upon the appointment as follows : . "We must express our sincere gratifica tion in welcoming the President's nomina tion of Gen. Loustreet to an important office in the Customs at New Orleans. The nom inee was a rebel omcer of inaikcj ability, and wou a reputation in the field, which pen etrated beyond the Confederate lines. But he has since achieved a triumph, more splendid than tny of his career in arms, in his hearty and unreserved submission to all the decisions which resulted from the rebel defeat. He avowed himself at once to be a thoroughly reconstructed friend of the Union and a supporter of the Federal supremacy. He gave his prompt adhesion to the Con gressional policy, and has fought it out steadily on that line since, in the face of the bitterest social aud personal ostracism -by nearly every class ami section ot the ooutb. We repeat, this appointment should gratify Union men everywhere, and it will especially encourage Unionism in theSouth-west The people ot that region will sea that the new President means to have peace, and that be knows where to find the right men to help r.im in tne rigtit place. I his pledge of Ke- piiDiican sincerity will be worth more to lie publican .supremacy in the future, through out the late rebel btates, than would besecur ed by a hundred proclamations and bulletins." ut.ii xKEAD. A curious discovery was just made at Pompeii. In a house in course of excavation an oven was found, closed with an iron door, on opening which a batch of eighty-one loaves, put in nearly eighteen r t hundred years ago, and now somewhat over done, was discovered; and even the large iron shovel with which they had been neat ly laid in rows. The loaves were but slight ly over baked by the lava heat, having been protected by a quantity of ashes coveting the door. There is no baker's mark on the loaves; they are circular about niue inches in diameter, rather fiat, and indented (evi dently with tho baker's elbuwl in the ren- tre, and areTlightly raised at the sides, and divided by deep lines radiating fi om the cen ter into eight segments. They are now of a deep brown color, and hard, but very light. In ihe same shop were found 561 bronze and 52 silver coins. A mill, with a great quan tity of corn in excellent preservation, has also been discovered. A French chemist lately took a pair of stockings imported fiom England, dyed a brilliant red, extracted the coloring matter, inserted it under the skin of a dog, and had the satisfaction of seeing the animal die in twelve hours. He then took the coloring matter out of the dog's body, and with it dyed a skein of silk. He warns every one against the use of "coraline," the dye used, and proposes the prohibition of the impor tation of red stockings from England. It seems that the Ku-KIux of Reno, Ar kansas, are not thoroughly reconstructed yet. Hon. Henry A.

Washington City Gossip. Speaker Blaine seems to be modeling his appointments in a manner similar, to the method adopted by the President In ma king np his committees he evinces a dispo sition to select those members possessing the best qualifications. Ttis not merely a num ber of rewards for services supposed to have been rendered that Mr. Blaine is distribu ting. He is evidently deliberating who of all those at his ' disposal are best calculated to render service to the countryj and acquit themselves creditably. The two things are entirely different, and the last is certainly the most difficult fo determine, but Mr. Blaine is undoubtedly on the right track. . The readiness with which the new Secre tary of the Navy enters upon the duties of his office is an earnest of efficknt business management throughout. There is need in his department for an infusion of energy. It will require as constant a stretch of atten tion to work the naval interests upon a peace lasis as at any other time. The ability re quired to save from wreck the perishable machinery that makes up a navy is as great as that required to call it into existence. Some of the sayings attributed to the President are to be received with several grains of caution, but the following is so characteristic that we accept it as genuine. Conversing with a gentleman concerning the character of those he desired to employ in the various departments, the President is reported to have said, "I shall not tolerate any idlers; the people are too poor to pay salaries as a mere bonus to professional pol iticians." It is sentences like these that lead the pcopU to repose the utmost faith in the President's purposes. These pithy sayings cause extraordinary agitation among the barnacles,many ot whom prefer to make a movement on their own behalf rather than run the risk of being bruised by the thorugh scraping off process they foresee. It is a scandalous fact that when Ex -Pres ident Johnson left the White House he car ried off all the official records, so that there was not even the form of an appointment left. The motives which prompted such action are unrevealed. President Grant has requested the Society of Friends to furnish him a list of persons they can recommend for Indian Agents. This is truly a novel beginning, and a revo lution as complete as was ever seen in any department of the Government From the days of yore to the present time, Indian Agents have, as a general thing, been licen sed thieves; and this class of public servants and the rings they represent, will no doubt be intensely disgusted with Grant for con sulting Quakers. Tiuly,thingj are changing! Senator Sumner entertains some fear that our foreign relations will not continue very long as pleasant as they are just now. It is known that the revolutionary government in Cuba will soon send an envoy here to de mand the same recognition of them that Spain extended to the rebels during the war, and it is believed tbot President Grant will accord it to them forthwith. under the new army regulations the offi cers from the various fields are turning to ward Washington. . Ere a week has passed Grant will havo met the greater number of those who shared with him the hardships- and honors' of active war. They no longer consult with tho General, but in the Presi dent they recognize him, receive from him the same inspiration as in battle, and go forth with fresh resolves to the departments assigned them. A strong party exists in the Colombian Congress against the ratification of the Da rien canal treaty. The arguments which are to be used against the measure amount to but little more than prejudices and jealousies. The former arise from ignorance of the -intentions of those who projected the enter prise, while the latter are founded upon the belief that franchi-es have been parted with which might as well have inured to the ben ent ot the liepuhlic, that the grants to the Panama Railroad were parted with cheaply, is no reason why those extended to the canal should be grudgingly withheld. If the present Congress choose to reflect upon the wisdom of former ones.it will, of course, listen to the malcontents. But it will hardiy commit so fatal a mistake. Its true policy is to wait patiently for the action of our own Government, and be guided in the matter by it. The end will warrant the delay, for a canal will give greater impetus to develop ment than the Republic can hope to acquire lor years by any other means. A Curious Law Suit. A "cat case" has just terminated in the Baltimore courts. The plaintiff was the owner of a valuable cat of the Maltese breed, which had been missine for about four months. The cat was dis covered in the possession of the defendant. and the plaintiff, in order to recover it, was obliged to sue out a writ of replevin, the cat and its collar being valued at $25. At the trial of the case, in which both sides were represented by counsel, the defendant pro duced an account against the plaintiff of $13,20 for boarding the cat 132 days at ten cents per day. After hearing the evidence and argument, in which the defendant's counsel claimed there was no property in cats, the Justice gave judgment for plaintiff for possession of the cat, and one cent dam ages and costs to be paid by defendant. The bill of defendant for boarding the cat was not allowed. It is understood that Mr. Hoorer, the del egate from Utah, intends, at an early day, to have that polygamous community received as a State into the Union.

A correspondent details thia charactori tic incident : It seems as but yesterday when in the first year of the rebellion, Gen. Cam eron, who was then Secretary of . War, left the department, in consequence of his leo- ommendation to employ colored troops. " He was almost alone iu his estimate of the magnitude of the contest npoa which we were just entering, grasping the subject in its fullest proportions. The most rdvanced of all the statesmen who were his compeers' were tar behind him. lie saw the advan tage of liberating the slaves and employing them promptly, while it took years to con vincc his countrymen of the uecessity. It was a proud recollection to him, doubtless, to-day, when seated in the Senate Chamber aloogside of the great chieftain who led the armies, including the colored troops, to our fiual triumph, and who was able to mnke these people. so available in securing our success, that he had taken his course so ear ly and earnestly in the right direction. After the inauguration ceremonies I sat by Gen. Cameron's side. As we watched the procession that escorted Gen. Grant to the White House to euter upon his duties, the performance of which will doubtless lead to the pacification of our country. and listen ed with the deepest interest to his utterances in relation to his early efforts to give such a direction to the war as would certainly lead to the abolition and overthrow of Slavery, is it any wonder that he was gratified with such a scene as this?- Tou would have been interested, as I was. if you could have heard him exclaim : ' "This is a most interesting sight to me. Only seven years since I recom mended the emancipation and employment of negroes as soldiers, and in consequence of hich left tho Cabinet, being to far in ad vance of my associates. Now, to see a body of those so Uiers joining in the Inauguration ceremonies, and escorting the President to the White House, it is a gratification be yond all power of expression ; and as I stood beside the President on the platform, and heard him announce in bold, unmistakable terms that these people should have tho ballot, the change seemed almost too marvel ous for belief. It is the most eratifyinir scene of my life, and it is enough to have lived to witness it" We are entering upon a new career, with every assurance that it will be a most suc cessful and brilliant one. . Each successive movement of the Spanish Revolution gives us new cause of hope for the permanent establishment of Liberal in stitutions in Spain. The latest step of the Cortes was to appcint a Commission to draft a new Constitution ; and the dominent sen timent and governing principle of the Cortes making it certain that no Canstitution will be adopted which docs not establish all the guarantees of liberty.
