THURSDAY, FEBRUARY ti. 186€1
Unions of the most exciting nature are
afloat respecting out relations with' Great
Britain. Those who profess to be best in
formed declare that war is imminent_ Mr.
Adams has resigned. and a
. new Minister is
to be appointed to the British Court, who
will be instructed to press the claims of our
Government to a satisfactory issue without
delay. But one ultimatum is to be presented
—either England must pay what she owes
dr fight.
GMAT interest is everywhere beginning to
be developed in the next Democratic Nation
al 'Convention, and vigorous efforts are being
made to - unite upon a candidate who will be
acceptable to all the elements of the party.
Mr. Pendleton's friends, we learn, are already
sure of unanimous 'delegations to the Con
vention from the States of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland,
Delaware and Nebraska; while, "as yet, it• is
not known that the conventions of a single
State have expressed an adverse preference.
The Conventions of Connecticut and New
Hampshire, held last month, did not pro
nounce in favor of any individual, but decid:
ed to leave their delegates go uninstructed.
Among the, Eastern Democrats Mr. Pendle
ton is Personally very popular, but they do
not Took upon him as possessing the availa
bility necessary to carry such States as New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and- Con
necticut. A lively caucusing is now in pro
. gress in Washington and New York, to see
whether some name cannot be hit upon that
will be acceptable to the Western Democrats
and at the same tim — e - meet the siesires of those
of the East, and it seems probable that the
effort may be successful. We beg Democrats
in both sections to remember that if we ex
pect to attain success, there must be mutual'
concessions, and a disposition to labor. for the
harmony of the whole organization, and not
merely to please any section.
THE GRANT.JOIINSON CORRESPOND.
E=l
A . long, spicy and interesting correspond
ence has taken place between the President
and Gen. Grant, growing out of the Stanton
- matter. • It was opened hy the General, who,
in a spirited letter to Mr. Johnson, refers to
the reports of 'his understanding relative to
the disposal of the War office, asks whether
it in true that the President has given his
sanction to the statement that he had agreed
to hold on to the position until a successor
could be appointed, and indignantly denies
that he had consented to uo so. The Presi
dent "answers the - General in a calm and
straight-forward manner, indulging in no in•
decorous expressions, and simply reciting the
theta in the case. He shoWs that the General
had expressly, agreed either to resign the _of
fice before the Senate should t ote to reinstate
Stanton, in order to give an opportunity for
the appointment of a new minister, or retain
the •position until the question could be de
cided by . the Courts. In proof of this, he
cites the recollection of all his Cabinet, who,
he says, are ready-to substantiate the state
ment. The matter is thus narrowed down to
one of veracity, Gen. Grant being the sole
witness on his side, and the President and
his Cabinet on the other—eight to one. It is
evident that upon' receipt of the President's
unanswerable letter, Gen. Grant lost his tem
per. He waited three days before sending
his reply, Fnd then appended his signature to
an epistle which, for the sake of his reputa
tion, he will wish had never been written.
The General reiterates his denial of the agree
ment referred to, and in an angry and unoffi•
cerlike manner endeavors to give his remem
brance of the circumstances, which only
serves to make •' confusion worse confound
ed." He announces his determination to
obey Stanton's orders, notwithstanding the
President's command to the reverse, and so
unmistakably exhibits his sympathy with the
unconstitutional acts of the Radicals that.
none need have any doubts of his position
hereafter.
The correspondents say that., Mr. Johnson .
is preparing a response, but with the candid
public none will be needed to vindicate his
position. No person of intelligence, s /10 is
disposed to look at the subject fairly, can
come.to any other coneltision than that the
President has the better 'side of the contro
verßY, and that .Gen. Grant has been guilty
of an act -of duplicity disreputable in the
strongest sense, unworthy of his position, and
which will rest like. a dark and forbidding
cloud upon his future reputatidn.
RADICAL STATE CONVENTION•
The Radicals of this State have called their
State Convention to meet in Philadelphia, on
the 11th of March—one week after that of
the Democrats. - From present indications,
the contest between the two hostile factions
of the party will be renewed with increased
venom and energy. It is well known that
- for a number of years a desperate feud has
existed between Gen. Cameron and ex-Gov
f rmor Curtin, and that each has contended for
the,eoutrol of the organization at every suc
cessive State ConVention the Cameron hosts,
fromtheir superior strategy and unity, gene
rally managing to come oft victorious. The
struggle this year has been revived by tin
antic's of Gov ; Curtin to obtain the endorse
ment of Pennsylvania for the Vice Presiden
cy, which Cameron is determined that he
shall not secure, let the cost be what it may.
The Cameron men base brought out Gov.
Geary fis Curtin's rival, and in every county
of v,e State : the Radicals in selecting their
delegates to the Suite Convention will do ,o
with regard. to a choice between these two
ambitious dernagOug,, Cameron count,
among his supporter 4 such men as John C.
4unkel : • Elislis W. Davis, Speaker of the
Mouse, Charles Gibbons, Benjamin Harris
Brew,ter, Morrow B. Low ry. John Covode,
_Wayne McVeigh and George Landon, wince
Cnrtiu ranks among his adherents the soldier
element of the party, with William D. Kel
ley, Harty White, John Cessna, It. Biddle
Roberta, and like small but noisy politicians.
From the tone of the Radical press. it is cer
tain that Grant will he indorst4 Mr President.
There is no contest for the nominations of
auditor General and Surveyor General,' and
the present Incumbents—John IL Hartranft
and Jacob 51. Campbell, will he renominated
without opposition.
IN ♦ recent private letter to ti friend Gen
era! Hancock qac-s:
•
'I always objected to being placed in com
mand here when consulted. hen, in obedi
ence to orders, it became necessary to occupy
the position, I came determined to carry out
the laws—not to make new ones unless
necessary, and only when civil ones failed.
I shall always regard the law, acting inside
of it, not outside. If new laws are required,
it is fOr Cobgress to make them. Those in
force I shall not execute in .a partisan spirit;
as long_as,l remain I will execute those in
full. Having often to choose between the
• civil-and military law, I take the former, and
where powerless, will try and build it' up,
If the-officers fail, I will appoint new macs,
and if no good ones can be found, may have
to resort to military despotism. rdo not be.
lieve that will come. 'When it does I may
make as good-a despot as any bne. I shall
send you copies of my orders-, which will
show my course of action to be inconformity
With law."
This N a sufficient rellitation of the Radical
slander that General Hancock sought his
present position to gratify his political pro
clivities, and will not furnish much encour
agement to:the Radicals'who are threatening,
to legislate him out of the army.
"Witxr," ayk the Cincialuiti Comnicreial,

the whole South and lose the whole North ?"
Theanswer to this conundrum will appear
when the election returns of next November
are counted.
THE BVPIII4IIEIR
The proposed bill - for gagging the mouths
of the Supreme Court Judges, has elicited
general public attention to that body,andive
find a wide desire to secure reliable informa
tion respecting its personal composition and
political character. It is - known to most per
sons that the Court,as originally constituted,
was made up of nine - Members. During -
Lincoln's administration, the number was in
creased to ten, The real unavowed mo
tive was to revolutionize the Court by adding
more Republicans. In 1866, after Congress
had quarrelled with PresidentJohnson,an act
was passed reducing the number to seven.—
The unavowed motive of This change WAS to
prevent Mr. Johnson appointing Conserve
five judges to fill vacancies. The Conserve
five jifdges appointed under Democratic ad
ministrations are aged men. In the ordinary
course of nature, their seats were more likely
to fall vacant than those of the Republican
appointees of Mr. Lincoln. As the court had
been increased to ten to enable 31r. Lincoln
sooner to make it Republican, it was after
wards reduced to seven to prevent-Mr. John
son filling vacancies with Conservative judg
es. As judges cannot be legislated out of
office, the law of 1868 provided that no ap
pointments should be made to fill vacancies
until the number of judges should be reduced
to seven, and that the Supreme Court should I
thereafter consist of one Chief Justice and
six Associate Justices. The death of Juige
Wayne, of Georgia, last year, left the Court
with but eight members, afwbich standard
it will remain until another of theyjudges
takes his exit from this lower Sphere, or the
Radicals in Congress find it to their advantage I
to again increase the Bench to its original
proportion. The following is a list of the I
judges, arranged (with the exception of the I
Chief Justice) in the order of their appoint
ment '
Salmon P. Chase, Ohio, Chief Justice. Sal
ary. $6,500.
Nathan Clifford, Maine, Associate Justice.
Samuel Nelson, New York, "
Hobert C. Grier. Penn'a, "
David Davis, Illinois,
Noah W. Swayne, Ohio, "
Samuel F. Miller, lowa, "
Stephen J. Field, California, " " •
Each Associate Justice has a. salary of
46,000. .
The Philadelphia Press gives the ages of
these gentlemen as follows Chase, sixty ;
Grier seventy-two on the sth of March,lB6B;
Miller, forty-one; Clifford, sixty-five on the
18th of August, 18a): Nelson, about seventy;
Field, forty-five.; Davis sixty; and Swayne
about fifty-five. Judges Chase. Miller,Stvayne,
Davis and Field were appointed by Lincoln,
Grier by Polk, Clifford by Buchanan and Nel
son by Pierce. The Democrats on the Bench
are Justices Nelson, .Clifford and Grier;
Judges Field and Davis agree with thetri
: in regard to the unconstitutionality- of the
ireconstruction acts; and Chase, Swayne and
Miller Sustain the acts of their partisan
friends in Congiess.
SCOFIELD APIIW ASHLEY.
We allude in another place to the resolu
tion offered in Congress by Mr. Scofield, of
this district, directing the Judiciary Com
mittee to inquire into an alleged remark of
Judge Fields, of the Supreme Court, pro ,
nouncing the reconstruction acts in violation
of the Constitution, and looking to a move
ment for his impeachment, in case the report
should-he found correct. Of course, we have
no idea that Scolield's labors will amount to
anything more than to afford him an oppor
tunity of making a little buncombe capital
for use in securing a renomination, but the
promptness with which the resolution was
adopted by the Radical majority is a fair il
lustration of, the, partisan disposition idCon•
gress, and the terrorism they seek to inspire
in all over whom they have any control. If
a General offends them, they legislate him
out of his commission. If the Supreme Court
is supposed to hold the same opinion a cer
tain laws of Congress that Thad. Stevens
does, viz : that they are outside the Constitu
tion, the Supreme Court is to he shorn of its
power. If a.Judge glves expression to his
private views, he is to be impeached. It is
all intolerance, bigotry,despotism. The acts
of Congress cannot bear the light, and Con
gress
is determined that they shall be accept
ed in the dark, anti so executed as to effect
the partisan and unpatriotic purposes of th'eir
framers, who care more for an election than '
they do for the country. The Radicals are
soling a good deal of rope lately, and the
usual result is sure to folio*..
Wnr.s. the eight bolters in our State Legis
lature were induced to vote fur the Radical
candidate for Speaker, after they had accused
him of corruption, treachery and inefficiency,
we suggested that it would yet be ascertained .
that something else than the motive they pro
fessed had actuated them (to retry at from their
original position. The explanation has come
even sooner than we anticipated. During
the debate in the House, a week or two ago,
the following proceedings took place :
"Mr. Armstrong, - of Lancaster, offered a
resolution appointing additional transcribing
clerks. This gave rise to an animated debate,
Mr. .Arm,trong, who had been one of the
eight dissenters, who at the beginning of-the
session had refused to vote fin. Davis, and
who had urged retrenchment and refonn„de
dared that he had been promised the choice
_of this additional clerk and that such clerk
was needed. The Republican majority de
nied that they bad endorsed or made any
such contract, anti the Democrats called for
the production of any agreement or contract
hich had been made between the eight dis
senting Republican:: and the majority."
So it would seem that the virtuous Arm
`strong sold his vote to Davis tor the cheap
consideration of ad additional clerk ! It does
not look well to see his fellow Rads repudiate
the eon tract. Let them pay the fellow his
price, and leave Ithn to the tender mercies of
his constituent,. •

when it% profroasion FS iny3tlo are compared with

Dents° the Debate in the House of Rep•
resentativea on the deficiency bill,the subject
of allowance for stationery to members of
Congress came up, when Mr. Maynard,- of
Tennessee, proposed that all members should
be allowed to draw whatever stationery they
needed. Mr. Stevens objected to this. Ile
said that plan had been tried and hid to be
changed - because some members procured
under the name of stationary pantaloon's,
shirts and shaving soap enough to last them
rot:years. Some members had run up their
account for stationery to nearly a thousand
dollars. The conchision that pantaloons,
shirts and shaving soap are stationery, to
which some -of our sapient. Congressmen

RADICAL ASSAULTS ON GRANT.
General Grant Charged with Drunken.
nese by Wendell Put.Dips...An awreeet.
/ration Demanded.
From the Antt-Shwery Standard of hit week.]
This is an anti-slavery journaL Looking
nut on politics as the negro looks on them,
it deals with public men and measures only
its they are true or false to him. But experience
has abundantly proved, even before the
existence of the present Administration, that
only temperate men can safely be trusted
with grave responsibilities. Temperance is
the substratum of all other reforms, flow
sad the result, when power is given to men
- who am wont "to put an enemy in their
mouths to steal away their brains," this wnr
'ins most impressively - shown us. Now ru
mors reach us from - - Washington, coming
from different and trustworthy sources, that
General Grant has been seen- unmistakably
.lrunk in the streets of that city within a few
weeks. We know nothing ourselves of the
truth of these minims. We make no charge
against General Grant•in this respect.. But
even the possibility of the 'truth .of the-e
reports is of too momentous importance to he
lightly dealt with. The nation is bound to
inquire as - to the habits of candidates for high
office. After the experience of the last three
years it hasno right to run the slightest risk
in this respect. No public man, whose
friends are asking for hjm- high office, ought
to complain of the strictest scrutiny by the
public as to his habits in this particular. We
call,therefore, on the national and State tem
perance societies to invc. ? tigatt• these reports.
They 'have this subject in their special
charge. They are bound to give us the facts,
an .save us from even the possibility of such
another infliction - as the nation now suffers.
Especially we call on the Hon. Henry Wil
son, a pledged teetotaler, to see that the
whole truth in this matter is given to the
country. He has devoted himself to the - ad
vocacy of Grant's claims. As a ltemperance'
man, he is bound to see that we run no risks
of this kind._ Living in Washington, he must
knoW;itr have.ample means of knowing, the
truth as to this matter. If we are unneces
sarily anxious, let him relieve us by trust
worthy assurances that Grant is now a tem
perate man, fully able, on all occasions to
withstand this temptation. If the fact is not
'so, let him explain to his temperance associ
aces how he dares to ask their votes for
Grant. It is perilous enough to give the Presi-'
deucy to a man. who was confessedly an in
veterate drunkard two or . three years ago.
But it will be the gravest crime to give it to
him if that vice still holds him in` his iron
-grasp. Of course fidelity to the negro must
be our first and decisive test of any man's
fitness for the Presidency.. But this test of
temperance is also vital.
WENDELL PHILLIPS:
'A Covert Thrust tri Theodore Ttltoar
A Presidential Candidate Ituddled In The
Streets. ,
From the Independent, January Z.l.] C.,
' Under the roof of the Capitol there i, now
very little intemperance, whether among
Democrats or Republicans. Occasionally a
Presidential candglate is seen fuddled in the
streets; but, as this happens only on a Sun
day, it cannot be said to interfere with pub
lic business, and does not strikingly challenge
public attention. Besidek if a Vice-Presk
dent is drunk with a view to his inauguration,
what shall restrain a Presidental candidate
from a little tipsiness with a view to his
nomination ? One glass of wine: poured
down the throat of the next President of the
United States, and making a hell in his blood;',
may give this whole nation the delirium tre;, '
menu. We suggest it prohibitory law to take
effect on nominating conventions, and a tent-
pe , ance pledge to be signed by their - mond- I
flees.

From the ilepublie4n, Jaguars 29.7 '
The talk is that a Cabinet officer • called
General Grant a "liar" and a "sneak ;‘ that
General Grant is drunk half the time, and
has been seen iteadying himself on - another's
arm in Pennsylvania Avenue; that Stanton
and Washburne have humbugged hiM and
that he feils his degradation; and don't.look
anybody in' the fece. •The talk is that J.ty
Cooke r . nes in for killing General Grant' and
nominating Chase: that Chase don't get
drunk., is a moral. man, and liberal to loan
agents and national hank men. The talk is
that the -people are sick of all politicians;
that they don't see their temperance or.mor
