Fortunately, bowever, the ex-Governor had no opportunity of trying experiments in fisancial management. With a discourtesy so unusual us to be remarkable, the Senate prac- tically refused to confirm his appoiutment and sent a committee to induce Old Abe to nomi- nate somebody else. The result was that the President's backbone gave way for the hun- dredth time. Gracefully yielding to the de- mands of the Senators, he requested Mr. Tod to decline the position, and appointed Mr. Fessenden the very next morning. The Senate confirmed Mr. Fessenden in precisely two minutes, thus showing that the matter bad been prearranged. The fact is that the Senators had tue game in their own bands, and could have continued to refuse to confirm the appointments until Old Abe nominated the man they desired. They bad then, and they have still, the power to compel bim to recoustruct his whole Cabi- net. Mr. Fessenden is a very able man. He is named after William Pitt, the great Englis: financier, and, ifthere be any virtue in a name, he may adopt William Pitt's financial ideas. | It is true that this is a hypothetical and nominal merit; but the fact that Chase’s silly Gold bill was repealed on the same day of Mr. Fessenden’s appointment gives us more substantial grounds for entertaining some hopes of him. As the chairman of the Finance Committee of the Senate, be has endorsed Chase’s plans to a cer- tain extent; but this may have been the result of bis ideas of his duty as a supporter of the Ex.Secretary Chase and His Successor= The Political Situation. ExSecretary Chase is a pretty consistent man. He followed the example of the rebel Memminger in bis financial policy, and as soon as Memminger resigned Mr. Chase took the hint and resigned also. He was the Mepbis- topbeles of the Cabinet. He intrigued Came- ron out of office, and had Stanton appointed in order to remove McClellan. He prevented Dupont from capturing Charleston, after the brilliant victory at Hilton Head, so that he migtt inaugurate his free negro schemes in South Carolina. The Tribune calls him a great statesman, and compares him to Clay, Webster Groat Gleepere could be sawed. Thirty miles of the South Bide road were destroyed.

The President bas the credit of being a surewd man where his own interests are at stake, although | be seems biind to the interests of the coustry. Let him, then, consider the present political situation, with the democracy broken into fragments, the Chicago Convention post- poned, and Fremont’s make-believe movement ready to take advantage of his blunders or to subside if he makes none. Let him notice the singular silence of the republican press in re- gard to the Cabinet, badly concealed by the unnecessary noise they raise about the military situation. Let him understand that the Times is silent because it does not know how to help him, and the Tribune because it does not know how to burt him. ,Then let him turn to the Herat, the leader of the independent press, and learn from us that he must now display some pluck in the settlement of this Cabinet imbroglio or relinquish all anticipations of a re-election. Repentance and atonement for past errors may gain for him the pardon of the people, but persistence in these errors and in hia present Cabinet will leave him a President without a party and a candidate without a platform, and so insure bis political perdition. Mr. Fessenden and the Senate now hold the balance of power, and we rely upon them to use it if necessary; but we appeal to the Presi- dent to take a leaf from Jackson’s book, and to do a manly act without delaying to be bullied into it. The New Secretary of the Treasury—A New Finaneial Policy. There ie but little doubt that Mr. Fes- senden will accept—if he bas not already accepted—the position of Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Morrill, of the Committee of Ways and Means, in introducing to the House the bill for a special tax on in- comes, announced it as “recommended by the new Secretary of the Treasury.” Since the measures of a “new Secretary” are thus already before the House it is doubtless safe to assume that Mr. Fessenden has accepted the place. The financial condition of the country at the present time is one that is likely to try severely the temper and patience, and test the abilitics of the man who has to keep the national purse. Our revenue last year was two hundred mil- lions. We spent eight hundred millions. It is estimated that there will be less difference be- tween our revenue and our expenditure next year, but not a great deal. Our revenue under the present taxes may be three hundred mil- lions. Our expenditures will not be less tban eight hundred millions. Five bundred millions will thus be wanting, and the new Secretary has to provide that amount. Mr. Chase pro- posed to raise four hundred millions of this by loan. He did not deem it safe to borrow more than that—half the expenses—and wished to raise the remainder by an additional tax on certain articles. Such was his proposed policy in view of our present financial difficulties. What the policy of the new Secretary wiht be we do not know, but there are indications that he will not follow exactly in Mr. Chase’s footsteps. Under bis instigation Mr. Chase's plan for an additional tax has already been modified by « special tax on incomes. This modification has gone through the House, but it is not likely to go through the Senate so quickly. The Senate is a;parently impressed with a sense of the evils of hasty legislation. This may be because it remembers the Gold bill. Inthe repeal of the Gold bill, also, we see a different policy from that of the late Sec- retary. Butin the retirement of the untaken portion of the seventy-five million loan there is an even stronger indication that he wiil adopt a new policy. Many financiers doubted the wisdom of that loan from the first, thinking its terms improper; and the action of the govern- ment in thus withdrawing what remains of it indicates the distinct influence of new ideas in the Treasury Department; and in a change from the ideas that bave lately prevailed there lies the only bope_pt the country. Medes: aS Wursxry on Hanp 10 we Taxep.--There was along and spirited controversy in the Honse of Representatives on Saturday last over the question of taxing whiskey on hand. It was for a long time a ground and lofty tumble be- tween the holders of whiskey and the friends of taxing that article. Some of the time whiskey was uppermost and then again tax- ation would have the advantage. Tbe whiskey speculators were active, rallied all their forces, and succeeded in defeating the proposition of Mr. Wasbburne to tax all spirits of domestic production for sale on the Ist instant, on which no tax bad been paid, seventy cents per gallon, and filly cents per gation on spirits which bad paid aprior duty. The re- jection of this prop on encouraged the whiskey speculators, aud they imagined that they were safe from any furtber assautts. Subsequently Mr. Washburne presented bis proposition so modified that the former article should pay a tax of fifty, instead of seventy cents per gallon, and the latter thirty cents instead of fifty. This proposition was adopted by ten majority, in Committee of the Whole, aod the tables were turned on the whiskey operators. When the bill was reported to the House a vote was again taken on this ques- tion, and it was reaffirmed by an increased ma- jority. The whiskey speculators then rallied and defeated the bill on its final passage, and once more considered themselves victorious. But the vote by which the bill was rejected was subsequently reconsidered, and the bill passed. Thus the contest in the House ended in the defeat of the speculators and in favor of taxing spirits and forcing that article to bear its portion of the burthens of the war. The bill, however, is yet to ‘be acted upon by the Senate. The speculators are sanguine of controlling that body. Since Congress is expected to adjourn to-day noon, what is done will have to be done quickly. The whiskey lobby were busy manipulating the Senators all day Sunday, and have left no stone un- turned to prevent that body from conourring in the action of the House. The events of to day will decide whether the Senate is run by the lobby or are governed in their action for the good of the country, by immediately pars- ing the proposition of the House taxing spirits on band. Judging from past action of that body we mug! confess that we have but littic hope of that Branch of the National Legislature agreeing to levy any tax on spirits on hand. In all contests heretofore in the Senate the speculators bave carried their points. It is to be hoped that they will at this late hour com- prebend the necessities of the country and turn a cold shoulder to the whiskey dealers. We con- fess that it is like hoping against hope. The record will be made, and we can soon Iny be- fore our readers the names of the Senators who are vuder the ogatro! of (he whiskey qpecula- tors, and who vote to throw away from five to ten millions of dollars. Tas Engotmaxt Aor.—The new Enrolment act, having passed both bouses, merely requires now the President’s signature to become a law. The commutation clause is repealed, those drafted being obliged to serve or furnish sub- stitutes, Tbe President in calling for men will, according to this Enrolment act, give all States a preliminary notice of fifty days, during which time volunteers may be obtained and the quotas thus filled. With the exception of Ar- kansas, Louisiana and Tennessee, the Exe- cutives of the loyal States may send into the rebel States recruiting agents to obtain volunteers, At the expiration of the fifty days drafting will, of course, take place to make up deficiencies in the quota of each State. Men enlisting for one year will receive from the government a bounty of one hundred dollars, for two years twp hundred dollars, for three years three hundred dollars, payable in instalments. It is anvounced from Washington that the President will call fora levy of five hundred thousand men. The object of this draft is to enable us to keep at all times as large a force in the field as we bave at present. In pursuing this course the fate of the rebellion must be apparent. We shall keep our armies up to their present strength, while the forces of the South are rapid'y being decimated by battles and sickness. Davis has driven into his ranks every man or boy who could hgndle a musket. Hence his losses now are irreparable. Hach day he grows weaker. By retaining our pre- sent strength we gain each day a victory over the rebels, which in time must result in their utter defeat. We have uulimited resources. The government can obtain men and money The rebels have no more money and have im- pressed their last man. We need but keep our armies up to their present standard to ensure victory and the final reconstruction of the Union. Osx or THE Meanesy Acts or Tats ApMINis- ‘TRATION.—The public indignation at the shame- ful act of Secretary Stanton in removing Lieutenant Colonel Bowman from command at West Point, because be allowed General McClellan to deliver an oration there at the recent dedication of the West Point monument to our fallen brave, continues to {ncrease. We now leara that Lieutenant Colonel Bow- man was in no way responsible for the invita- tion to McCietlan. A regular association had been formed to erect the monument, and Mc- Clellan was invited by this association. Lieutenant Oolonel Bowman had no more to do with it than any other member. When be learned that the administration objected to McClellan he could not have stopped the ora- tion even bad he desired to do 80; for McClel- lan had already signilied his acceptance of the invitation. We see, therefore, that Mr. Stanton’s action in the matter is as unjust to Lieutenant Colonel Bowman as it is in every way despicable and contemptible. NoSecretary but Stanton could have done such @ mean deed, and no adminis- tration but the present would have allowed it to be done. Perhaps, however, President Lin- coln did not know of it at the time. Itisa charity to think that he did not. But he cer- tainly knows of it now, and yet he permits Stanton—a man without a soul—to remain in his Cabinet. We tell the administration that the marses of the people will never rest con- tented until this mean persecution of a patriotic general shall be revenged by his elevation to the highest possible office. MecCleliaa is the senior major general of the United States army. and, a8 such, was entitled to the honor of delivering the West Point oration. Tbe splendid eloquence and pre-eminent patriotism of his address on that occasion are the best justifications of | is selection. Long after Stan- ton and his other defamers are completely lost in obscurity the name of General McClellan will remain as dear to the hearts of bis coun trymen as it is at present.
