The Republican says the seat of Mann, the democratic Congressman elect from the First district, will be contested by the de- feated republican candidate. Frauds are charged on the radicals, and a case is cited of one pre- cinct in this city where over one thonsund more votes were polled than wore registercd. One of the Registers reports oiicially to the com- manding General that one of the ballotboxes bears marks of violence and shows conclusively that it, has been tampered wit.

I cannot acquit the conductor of car No. 65, of groms apathy, at least. He must have known that it was a suspicious thing for such a crowd to hustle on the platform when the inside was not crewded. When spoken to about it he cooliy lied that he was not a detective sud it was none of siness. GEC BC.

Stanton, to be reinoved: Arrival of the Arkansas Congressional Dele- gation, A portion of the Arkansas delegation elected for the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States In connection with the new constita- tion arrived in this city to-day, The Senators elect, B. F, Rice and Alexander Macdonaid, and Logan H. koots, member elect for the First district, are here. James Hinds, of the Second, and Thomas Bates, of the Third district, will follow in a few days, It in proposed by the delegation at the first opportunity— probably not until after the completion of the Im- peachment trial—to formally present the new consti- tution to Congress. Each member of the delegation hag in hispoasession a certified copy of that instrument furnished him by the provisional authori- ties of Arkansas, It is understood that the conserva- tives of the semi-reconstructed State are making an effort to nullify the election upon charges of fraud. The official returns of the election from General Alvin C. Gillem have not yet reached Generel Grant's headquarters, A Virginia Delegntion at the War Depart« m A delegation of radicals from Danville, Va., to-day visited Mr. Stanton at the War Department.

Upon the ground thus prepared the stamp is to be printed. The vaiue of this plan lies In the fact that the same agents which, when ap- plied, will remove the cancellation marks will also effectually destroy the groundwork of the stamp itself as to protect the government against losses by ruse, Applications for Treasury Appointments. In response to the resolution of Congress passed recently, requiring a report of the applications made to the Treasury Department for official positions since the 20th of February, it has been found, by actual count, that the number of applications made between that date and the 20th of the present month aggregate 1,166, and during that time the number of appoint- ments has not been over one hundred, fifty of which were made in the Second Auditor's office by special jaw, and the remainder to fil vacancies caused by resignations or removals. Interosting to Internal Revenue Colicctors. In answer to the inquiry from a collector of tnter- nal revenue to the Secretary of the Treasury as to whether he would be allowed to hold stock in a national bank depository, where he deposited public moneys, the reply has been made that he could not, a standing rule of the department forbidding it. Supplies Wanted for Destitute Indians. Several communications were sent to the House of Representatives to-day from the Secretary of the Interior, enclosing official papers, showing an im- mediate necessity for an appropriation to furnish supplies to destitute Indians at and near Fort Cobb in the Indian Territory, the Big Bend of the Arkansas river, and North Platte vity, Nebraska, and ia Kan- gas and Dacotah ‘Territory.

The Radical RevolutionAspirants for Cabie net Appointments aud Woreign Missious— The Vice Presidency. WASHINGTON, April 24, 186%, Whatever may be pretended by radical leaders, the fact is notorious in political circles here that they have been conferring for weeks past in regard to the new order of things which is to follow the removal of President Johnson, for that has been a foregone conclusion since the ‘articles of impeachment were voted. The votes of Fessenden and some others om side motions have no significance whatever. They are all shams and intended to give a semblance of fairness to a deliberate and infamous purpose. Mr. Johuson is an obstruction to radicai designs and to the Presidential game, and therefore he is to be re- moved. Thatis the only reason, and it is admitted ‘by the franker radicals, like Chandler, Conkling & Co., who have theit own axes to grind. Wade was in consultation with Stanton ten days ago in regard to the Cabinet, and offered him any piace he thought proper to choose, Stanton will go out, at least temporarily, in order to produce’ the false tinpression that he has not etaid in merely for the office, Bes y Ne CaM Operate as MaVAMLAgCOU®, LE SHERT. ne nin ee ly upon the Treasury, and perhaps more a0 even, aa as an outsider than as an occupant of a Qabinvi piace. So there is policy in the withdrawal. ‘The great trouble is to find a Secretary of the Treaa- ury. Wade favors E. B, Ward, of Detroit, an ex- steamboat captain, who has neade several utillions, and who now wants a position. This would suit Chandler: but Morgan and Conkting, for New York, and several New England Senators protest vehe- mently, and demand somebody who will représew capital, bonds and special interests. So there isa rumpus among the impeachers in advance about tie distribution of the spoils, and particulariy about the Treasury, to which all patriotic eyes are turned. in fervent devotion, Massachusetts is very busy after preferment. But- Jer wants his pay for impeachment as Secretary of State, to the general disgust of the diplomatic corps, Sumner seeks it also, but will compromise ou Mr- Adatus’ o!d shoes in London, as he fears not to be re- elected, Wilson is up for Cowes and a market. Bout- well would be willing to seek the Treusury, but does not like a ten months’ tenure and @ future uncer- tainty. So his next friend, ex-member Alley, anys he is not a candidate for the Cabinet, but that Butler is, as he was under Johnson in 1885, because he could then settle hts old scores with Grant and bottle’ him up as he did his army, according to the Gene- ral’s report.” Governor Bullock also aspires to @ position, and so does Banks, and so does 80, in fact, does Massachusetts generally. One trouble about making up a Cabinet is the doubtful iook of the future since the recent elections. All agree that Grant has excited no enthusiasm whatever, and that the ctrances are he will be as badly beaten as Scott was, Ifa good conservative he nominated. He threfore trtes to keep out of the row, but his man Friday, Washtmrne, is in daily con- sultation with Watte, and they are trying to cook up 8 sort of ple-baid Cabinet among thet, While grant is cumming and wants to be uncommit- ted to anybody but himself; members of his stat’ who lave heretofore done most of the political engineer- ing, have proclaimed for that nimble, sty and small gentieman, Mr, Colfax, as their preference for Vice President. This deviaration has disturbed th family considerably, and the energetic Wade, plain, Anglo-Saxon style, has pronounced a b tion on statf ofticers in general, which made some hatrs stand on an end about headquarters. Wilson, of Massachusetts, and little Mr. Colfax, of siniling platitudes, Imve entered into an unholy alliance against Wade, and swear as bard as members of the temperance society can do that he shall not be nomi- nated at Chicago. Fessenden, who has never for- iven his election as President pro tem. of the Senate, 3 of the same mind, a8 are also Grimes and various others. Frelinghuysen prays against him in church and docs something stronger in caucus. He is a very consctentious indi- vidual, this Senator from New Jersey, for he reads all the evidence and hears all the arguments after having decided long ago to convict the President; while his colleagae, Cattell, only went so far as to make @ public speech for impeachment at Philadel- phia, There will be some curious things to tell when this mockery of a trial is over, for no greater mockery was ever contrived in the outraged name of justice and the abused forms of law. Serious trouble is expected before this business shall be ended, for when the people come to realize the extent of the iniquity and its selfish motives vhere will be a fearful reaction. And the intention of declaring martial law in Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware, In order to exclude their votes at the Pre- sidential election, with the frauds which are pro- posed, will raise a storm of indignation in the North and West that may be followed by the gravest results, If Wade gets into the White House, the design is to keep the radicals in, cost what it may. They are bent on wielding power at any price and plundering the government through possession, is is the whole motive of impeachment, and nothung else, It is revolution, just as much aa Napoleon pesaful coup a@état was @ revolution, which converted France from a republic into a mean military despot. ism. ‘These destructives aim at the same resutt, but seek to attain It ina different way.

WASHINGTON, April 24, 1868, A little light thrown upon the operations of the ‘Treasury ring just at this time would be productive of much good. Whatever change may take place in administrations or parties, the Treasury ring re- mains, ready to adapt itself to any political exigency 80 long as it ts permitted to manipulate the people's money for its own benefit. Changing one form of government security for another and making @ fat coumniasion on both; making secret sales of govern- ment gold, so a8 to leave a handsome margin to operators, and depositing the people’s borrowed money in pet national banks, without interest, are among the favorite operations of this infamous com- bination, which exists only by the timidity of politi- cians and an absence of a knowledge among the people of its operations. ‘The bill prohibiting the deposit of public money in national banks in places where government Sub- ‘Treasury depositories exist, which passed the House almost unanimously in January last, only to be shelved in the Senate, needs considerable light. On the 4th of December last the House, by resolu- tion, requested the Secretary of the Treasury to fur- nish a statement of “the amount of government funds that remained on deposit in national banks, specifying the amount in each bank on the ist of each month from the 30th of June, 1866, to the sist of October, 1867." On the oth of January, after nearly five weeks de- lay, Mr. Secretary McCulloch vouchsafed a reply, which, when printed, made @ pamphlet of thirty pages, and which he stated he “believed to contain the desired information.” This thirty page reply does not contain the desired information, Mr. McCulloch's belief to the contrary notwithstanding. It specifies the amount of government fands on de- posit in cach national bank without interest from the oth June, 1966, to Sist October, 1867, but does not give the amount of government funds that re- mained on deposit in national banka, a8 was re- quired by the language of the resolution. in order to get the aggregate amount seventeen jong columns of figures, each contaming some four hundred items, must be footed up, and a few small credits not calied for by the resolution, but which were put in the debit columns, must be omitted in the footing, or footed by themselves and twice de- ducted from the sagregate, So that to find by Mr. McCulloch's letter the amount of government funds deposited in national banks wouid require at least a week's labor of a skilled untant. Several guesses have been made, but I have taken the trouble to have the exact footings made for six- teen months,so that the people may firstticarn through THe HERALD What amount of their money has been laced in a few pet national banks witho' Frou June #, 1866 to October 1, Is07.
