Commissioner Wells’ Sala- ry Withdrawn. WASHINGTON, Feb. 23, 1869. Grants Cabinet. In conversation at the army headquarters this morning with Senator Thayer, General Grant re- marked:—“I want to say to you that I shall send into the Senate the name of Major General Schofield as Secretary of War, but it is likely that he will decline and return to his position in the army. I shall then nominate @ civilian for that ofice, and I want the Senate to know this.” Turning to Representatives Dickey, Morrell of Pennsylvania, and Root of Arkansas, who were at a short distance from bim, he said that he had no objec- fon to their hearing what he had to say om the question of the Cabinet. He then re- marked, ‘I am opposed to appointing ofMcers of the army and navy to civil ofMce, and shall therefore have a civilian at the head of each depart- ment.” This statement comes from members of Congress who were present, and they express their satisfaction with the sentiments of the General, and believe from the conversation that he will have a straight out republican Cabinet. Pennaylvania 1s to have arepresentative in Grant's Cabinet; that is fixed, at least Grant said so to-day in so many words to a Pennsylvania: Congressman who went in search of information. Oliver J. Dickey, the successor of Thad Stevens, is the mem- ber of Congress who has finally succeeded in in- ducing Grant to acknowledge he intends to honor the Keystone State with a Cabinet position. Mr Dickey had an interview this morning with the President elect, ana in the course of conversation @poke pretty much thus wise:—‘General, | want in- jofmetion on one. point, Js Pennsylvania to bave s position in the Cabinet or not? I don’t care a —— who the person is, if one ts to be taken from our State, but I do wish to know ‘whether it is @ fact or not that Pennsylvania will have a representative in your Cabinet.” To this Jack Alunt sort of inquiry General Grant responded, emilingly, “Mr. Dickey, I can say, with propriety, ‘that Pennsylvania is to have a piace in the Cabinet. ‘The person selected is one who has been @ true re- publican from the start, and no one will be more surprised than the gentleman himself when he re- celves @ notification of his appointment.” This an- pBouncement sent Mr. Dickey to the Capitol rejoic- ing. He had good news for his colleagues and friends, and was not slow in communicating it to them. The effect has been to set members guessing allday who the lacky Pennsylvanian is. Some deciare it cannot be Forney, nor Curtin, nor Cameron, be- cause those three gentlemen, it ts generally believed, ‘Would not be greatly startied by being informed that they had been among the chosen few. Some asssert Judge Kelley is the man; others are certain it is Wil- liam M. Meredith, of Philadelphia, who was Secre- tary of the Treasury under Taylor. ‘The Grant-Banks Controversy. As the interest in the question whether General Banks was ordered to relieve General Grant while the latter was engaged in the siege of Vicksburg has abated but very little since the commencement of the controversy, 1t may be well tof state that there is evidently an understanding between the five individuals who have possession of the facts to ‘withhold them from the public. Grant says that ail the information he has in connection with the sub- ject of his supersedure by Generali Banks are the orders from the War Department directing a union of the armies under the command of himself and General Banks, and if General Banks has copies of orders tatructing him to relieve General Grant he has no objection to their publication. General Banks says he has such orders, but refuses to give ‘them publicity, with or without the assent of Gene- ralGrant. He thinks General Grant is the proper person to give them out. Secretary Schofleld says that there is nothing whatever about Banks super- seding Grant to be found in the War Department; ‘that if such orders are in General Halleck’s order book that book must be at army headquarters, as Halleck was General-in-Ohief of the Army and not Secretary of War. General Halleck and Mr. Stanton will say nothing at all on the subject, so the whole matter seems to rest between Generals Grant and Banks, ‘The Farewell Reception at the White House. ‘There will be no more State dinners at the Execu- tive Mansion during the remainder of Mr. Johnson's term, and bat one reception will be held before the 4th of March. The President and Mrs. Patterson ‘will receive on next Tuesday evening, March 2, ‘which will be the farewell reception. The last re- ception at the White House was densely crowded; Dot it te expected that the one which takes place on ‘Snesday next will exceed, in this respect, any that has been held during Mr. Johnson's administration. Partisan Legislation—Obstraction to Natural- ization in New York City. Under a strong party pressure the btil taking from the courts of New Yory city and county the right to fasue nataralization papers to aliens was rushed through the House to-day. It 1 one of the numer- ©us bilis attached to the majority report of the Select Committee on the alleged New York eivction frandg. Very few, if any, of the repub- lican members, Outside the committee, understood the provisions of the bill, and the great majority of them had not even read it. Judge Lawrence urged it upon the House as a party measure, and it was voted for solély upon that ground. Very many re- Publicans, however, are of opinion that such a bill is ‘Unconstitutional, and that if tested in the courts it ‘will be found to be a nullity, Mr. Brooks, of New York, voted in the a@irmative, for the purpose of entering & motion to reconsider, which he did as #00n as the bill was passed, He proposes to bring It before the House again when the members have had @ chance to read and reflect upon the bill, If he doen not get a chance to do this he will succeed in defeating the measure, because while the motion to Yeconsider stands upon the journal the bill cannot ‘be nent to the Senate, Favorable Reports from the Washita Indians, A letter received by an ofcer of the Indian Burean a few days ago from General Hasen states ‘bat the Wasbite and other bands of Indians located by Colonel Leavenworts along Eurexa Valley, in the Kiows and Comanche country, are doing very well. They are orderly and tractable, and he thinksif the government would do something for them there would be no more trouble with them in the fature. General Hazen earnestly urges the transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War Department. ‘The Rates for Messages Under the Proposed Postal Telegraph System. 4s some misunderstanding exists in regard to the rates for press measages under the proposed postal telegraph system the following statement of the pro- ‘visions of the bill will be of interest. It provides that bids shall be received for the lowest rates for each ‘and every 600 miles of transmission:— Firet—For single messages of not less than 500 words and yearly messages of the average daily Jength of 600 words, when transmitted by day and when by night. It is expected that the yearly rates ‘will be fixed at two dollars and fifty cents for night messages and three dollars and seventy-five cents for Gay messages, averaging 500 words. Second—For messages exclusively for the press, when transmitted by day and when by night. Third—For the exclusive use of one or more wires, by night, for a term not less than three months. ‘This provision relates particularly to press business, between Washington and the large cities, while Con- gress is in session; to the daily news transmitted from New York to the large cities, and to news from the capitals of the several States to one or more points while their Legtslatures are in session. ‘The press can hire one or more wires from here to |. New York, Cincinnati, hicago or Boston, at a 1xed Tental on the cost and annual depreciation. This cost for the company incorporated by the bill is limited to $200 for each mile of wire, and the profits to ten per cent a year on this sum. The operators can be furnished by the press, or by the company at the actual cost. At small places drop messages can be taken off at fixed rates by the company. By this ar- rangement a single operator can transmit ten or twelve thousand words each night at the same ex- pense as for a less number of words, and at a very moderate expense as compared with the present cost. ‘These rates fixed by law will be known to all, and cannot be raised by the will of a single corporation. To these rates five cents will be added for postage, but when copies are dropped off or repeated at dif- ferent offices but one postage will be required. The opponents of the system, finding it cannot be defeated, are striving to have that portion of the bili imcorporating the postal company struck out, in- tending, we presume, if successful, to strike out the clause by which a limit is fixed upon the rates, The bill provides that no bid shall be received in which the rate for messages of twenty words exceeds twenty cents for each 500 miles they are transmitted. It w understood that the Senate Committee are unanimons in favoring the bill, and will retain both of these provisions, Subdivision of the State of Texas. General Reynolds was before tne Reconstruction Committee to-day relative to the proposition to divide the State of Texas into several States. The general gave it as his opinion that such a course would not be wise, especially on account of the sparsity of the population. He referrea the commit- tee to his report on file in the War Department for his opinion as to the political condition of the people of Texas, Convictions for Frauds on the Revenue and Pardons by the President. On the 17th of February the Senate passed a reso- lution directing the Attorney General to turnish for the mformation of that body a list of persons con- victed for violating the Revenue laws and for coun- terfeiting, stating the length of their sentences to imprisonment, the amount of fine in each case and the names of the pérsons who have been pardoned by the President and when such pardons were gTanted. The Attorney General has replied, begging leave to ask the attention of the Senate to the scope of the resolution in order that he may be assured whether its present publication was in- tended, or whether its object was limited to information upon the subject of the reso- lation within the present term of the President, He says the first branch of the resqiution would include all convictions from the time the Jn- diciary of the United Stetes went first into operation till now; the second during the whole existence of the Presidential office, although it might have been intended only to apply to the present Presidential term. Therefore he had not felt at liberty to determine what meaning was intended by the Senate, He says the Attorney General's oMce contains no record of conviction except those in the various courts of the United States in which the convictions have been had, alludes to the fact that a list of convictions for counterfeiting from March 4, 1866, to February, 1868, has already been printed in public documents. 4 An Insight into the Blaisdell-Mesmore Suite Reason of Delay in the Trinls, To compliance with a Senate resolution Attorney General Evarts to day sent a communication to that vedy in which he says that on the 2d of November, 1868, he gave directions to the Attorney for the Southern district of New York that the indictments against Alvah Blaisdell and against Daniel Mesmore and others should not be brought on for trial with- out further direction from him, and that on the 2ist day of the same month he instructed Mr. Courtney that the public considerations which had induced him to give the above directions no longer requiring @ delay in those prosecutions, he was directed to proceed with them in the course of the administration of justice. Mr. Evarts says:— conduct in office on the Attorney Courtney and of Robert , Marshal of the Southern district of New York, for Burpose of obtaining the exercise of the President’s au! % under and in formity to the te sions of the of the act of, March 2, 1867, Known as the Tenure : te dent expecting to Botain the consent of to the submission of these papers, dent might know whether yy to be further Mr. Fullerton the President welt that if he pronecution ‘in the cases in which | afterward action as cited, and which was first brought to would be delayed for a few days, he would at the expiration of that time to say could submit by pg agaiust thore officers tor the action of the President. statement I was of wane and 80 President, on na ona for ttt , under section. “ore the Tenure Sy Civil required an by at mapOray del oc ore ee TRE” Poetiaent? concurring i hin diapo cor juat instructions 2 2 3 i 385% oe ; i i g 5 mnateer, the in my let- direction of the suspension or delay of the me ‘and constituted the “considera- Wie tome edaitenal mpport of acne Sh i B : : | i i Hy Ey i i this, my ution.

According to the Evening Express of this city parson Sharman, who was hissed on Sunday éven- ing while preaching at the National theatre because he pitched into President Johnson for pardoning the stationer Dempsey, who cowhided a Patent Office clerk a week ago, has taken the offensive attitude. The Express says:—“‘On Monday Mr. Dempsey was waited upon by a gentleman acting as the friend of Rev. Mr. Sharman, who conveyed a message to the following effect:—‘If Mr. Dempsey will bring his cowhide up to the rooms of Mr. Sharman, No. — Franklin square, he will find Mr. Sharman at home, and Mr. Sharman will in no event prosecute him for assault.’ astounded at the strangeness of the Message, Mr. Dempsey was some time in making it out as a challenge to combat, if Dempecy Were so disposed, Making inquiry to ascertain if his correspondent was a wag or a lunatic, Mr. Demp- sey ascertained that the Rev. Mr. Sharman was an ex-captain of the English army, vigorous in the legs, ditto in the arms, handy with the small sword and lively with the trigger. Ascertaining these prepon- derating circumstances on the side of the Church militant, Mr. Dempsey declined to engage in combat with Mr. Sharman, and at the latest accounts the Church militant was also the Church triumphant, ‘The moral of all this is: that fighting is communica- tive, The first blow is the first of a series, anda private quarrel provokes partisans, leads to fresh aggressions and finally passes from the domain of sinvers to involve even the saints. The Darien Canal Treaty. ‘The Senate Fore'gn Relations Committee had a meeting to-day, ana after instructing Mr. Patterson to report to the Senate the bill in reference to the ship Meteor took up the recently executed treaty with the United States of Colombia for an inter- Oceanic canal across the Isthmus of Darien. ‘Ihere was a unanimous agreement among the members of the committee that the interests of commerce, es- peciaily those of this country, demand every effort being made to accomplish this enterprise by all means consistent with the power tnis government ought to exercise in its behalf. The general tenor of the treaty was approved, but a dit- ference of opinion prevailed on the scope of articles sixand seven concerning the appointment by the United States of Colombia of a permanent committee Of agents, with the full right to inspect the opera- tions of the canal, measure the tonaage of vessels, examine the books and accounts and report there- upon to the government of the United States of Colombia. Mr. Cameron considered that as the canal would be built by the cap- ital of this country and used in a@ great measure by ite commerce there was no necessity for this supervisory provision on the part of the other government. As, however, the article pro- vides that no interference shall be made with the control and management of the canal by this per- Manent committee the matter was deemed of trifling importance. On article seven there was a difference of opinion among the members of the committee as to the clearness of the provision applying the proceeds of tolls, among otber things, to indemnities for private property and that which may correspond to the Panama Railroad Company. Should the canal cross the route of the Panama Raliroad it would clearly in- volve payment of indemnity; but at what distance from the road and yet on the route it would be Mable to indemnity for correspondence was not ex- actly understood. It was also considered that the provision giving twenty-five per cent of the net proceeds of the canal to the Colom- bian government permanently after this government had been reimbursed for its outlay might retain the tariff of tolls at a figure disadvantageous to com- merce and inimical to the ultimate purpose of ren- dering the canal comparatively free, in a pecuniary sense, to the shipping of the world. No final action was taken on the treaty, but the favor in which it is held indicates ita eventual adoption. i i i The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has ad- dressed the following to a New York assessor:— In answer to your letter of the 20th instant I have that circular No. 63 merely authorizes of tobacco which had been sold in buik when ie i : ii uk ia: fgets renponataie, ‘The it t# the duty of " ue officer in the country to see that the requirements of the law are complied with.

Mr. Drake, (rep.) of Mo., offered a substitute for the bill, providing for a chief justice and fourteen associate justices of the Supreme Court, and making an entirely new arrangement of circutts. Mr. TRUMBULL urged the importance and the ne- cessity of making additional provisions for the per- formance of circuit duty, and advocated the bill as it was reported Mr. DRAKE moved to Mr, SHBRMAN said Senator (Mr. Drake) knew the condition of the judicial busi- hess in some circuits with which he (Mr. Sherman) was acquainted he would not propose the motion to postpone the bill.
