10 WASHINGTON A NEW CABINET DEVELOPMENT. Mr. McKennan, of Philadelphia, Supposed to Be the Penn- sylvania Member. General Grant Strongly Favor- ing Cuban Independence. Report of the Committee of Accounts on the Expenses of the House. Radical Changes Recommended in the Distribution of the Con- tingent Fund. WasHinaton, Feb. 28, 1869, General Grant and Cuban Independence. ‘The attention bestowed upon Cuban matters re- cently in Congress is due to the efforts of General James H. Van Allen, of New York, who arrived here a few days ago from Havana, after an interesting voyage in the yacht Henrietta, During his brief stay in Cuba General Van Allen had clandestine inter- views with several revolutionary leaders, and’was put in possession of valuable ipformation to be communicated to our government. from his own observation and what he heard from the people about Havana the General has no doubt w! rer gf the speedy auccess of thé #eVolutionists, When he lefi Cuba he proceeded to Charleston and thence hurried on to this city. On Friday morning he had ® long interview with General Grant, to whom he communicated the information he had received the revolutionary leaders and exp! the = 234 desire of the Cubans to hayg yur # Poe nizo their independer->” vvernment recog- Ustened with —* © «ve of Spain. General Grant Saver ~ auch interest and spoke strongly ta -» of giving some gubstantial recognition to the Stragging Cai fe was in favor of not only @ resalation of sympathy, but also qf Suthor- Jaing the President to recognize the independence of Cuba, whenever in his judgment he might deem the situation such as to justify the step. General Grant considered that the United States wag under no ob- ligations to Spain, seeing that she had afforded every accommodation to Confedérate vessels and blockade runners during our até rebellion. He au- tho! General Van Alien ta represent his views to Senators and Congressmen, Sud to state that he fa- vored the passage of a strong resolution. Accord- ingly, General Van Allen Went among the Senators and Representatives, gad the result has been the in- troduction of the two resolutions in favor of Cuba. Senator Sherman’s resolution is strong and quite acceptable to Cuban sympathizers. It is believed it will be reported favorably by the Foreign Relations Committee. The Coming Man from Penusylvanin. ‘The arrival of J. McKennan, of Pennsylvania, yes- terday, and the fact that he was whirled from the depot to General Grant’s residence in the Genera’s private carriage set the Cabinet makers and the Cabinet newsmongers on the alert. It was said that McKennan was cer- tainly the coming man for the Cabinet from Penn- sylvanta, Then the inquiry arose, “Who is Mc- Kennan?” Very few seemed to know. It was ascertained that when General Grant attended the ‘wedding of General Smith, of his staff, in Western Pennsylvania, he was the guest of Mr. McKennan. It “was further discovered that McKennan’s father was at one time a member of Congress from Penneyl- ‘vania, and held the position of Secretary of the In- terior for four days under;President Taylor, resigning ‘because he could not stand the pressure of the ofice- seekers. Who McKennan himself ts, further than ‘the fact that he is his father’s son, remains a mystery, only equalled by the still greater mystery of tne ob- Ject of his visit here at this time. Since ft became known that Stuart would not be the man from Pennsylvania, the politicians from that State are at vea again, and are slow to give an opinion as to who the lucky man will be. In the absence of anyjone else, McKennan will answer for a few Gays as a subject of guesswork and speculations Preparations for the Inauguration. * Every railroad train brings large additions to the thousands of strangers already here to witness the inauguration. The hotels are full of guests, and ‘their proprietors are renting all available premises im the city in thelr respective localities, in order to accommodate all applicants. The private boarding houses are also crowded. Some parties have en- gaged quarters in Alexandria and Georgetown. From ail accounts there will be at least twice as many visitors here as on any previous inauguration occasion. The struggle for precedence in the line of procession and the rival claims for considera- tion rendered the duties of the committee In charge very dificult, and even now it is not certain that they may not be forced to make some alteration of the following order of provession:— Fifth United States cavairy, right. Carriages for the President and Cabinet, left. Carriages for the President elect and his stad. United States artillery. Twelfth United States infantry, with its band, ‘The Forty-fourth United States infantry, wiih its Band. ‘The Marine Corps, with the Marine Hand. ‘Volunteer military OS ey amceee from various parte of the country.

A great number of companies from aproad will be present, accompanying thelocal ones to whom they have come as visitors, The reception ‘and ball on the evening of the 4th of March pro- mises to be more than ordinarily britiiant, Mr. McPherson and the Holl of the Next House. Mr. McPherson, Cierk of the House of Representa- dives, has not yet completed the roll of members for the Forty-first Congress. Many of the credentials bave not yet been received. ‘he law requires the Clerk to place on the roll the names of ali persons claiming seata as Representatives elect from States ‘which were represented in the next preceding Con- gress, aud of such persons only and whose creden- tias show that they were regularly elected in sacosrdance with the laws of their Staves respectively or the laws of the United States. Mapid Work in Ratifying Amendments. Saterday afternoom at one o'clock Representative Clarke, of Kansas, telegraphed the presiding oMcers of the wo branches of the Legislature of that State that the constitutional amendment had passed Con- gress. At eight o'clock in the evening of the same day be received the following despatch :— TorRka, Feb. 27, 1569. Hon, S1pNeT OLARK, M. O.2— ‘conatitut amendment ratified by the re oalsatare to-day. The vote "the Beate. was ui apimous. In a ey Rabat Speaker of the Represen c, V. AxiaDOR, Prenident of ene Senate. ‘The Ohio Members on the Organization of the Next House. The members ¢léct to the next House from Ohio held @ caucus on Saturday mght for the purpose of agreeing upon a plan of action relative to the selec- tion of om,ceta for the House, All the members elect were present with the exception of Mr. James ‘Winans, Shollabarger’s successor. The delegation agreed to support James G, Biaine for Speaker. They also passed a resolution setting forth that inasmuch oo ee Een conceded to the ast only fair Weat should ciaint the next ot tbe time in July. As the suggestion was originally made by him he states the reasons which influenced him— namely, in thirty counties there is no civil organiza- tion that isin relation with the Execative Depart- ment of the state. In some of the counties sparsely settled there is none whatever. In others there isa Partial one, while in others still it is understood to be complete, but the county officers have refused to recognize the Secretary of State or to report to him. Some counties are so remote in the means of communication that it takes from twenty-five to forty days to send to them and receive answers. In many other counties the county organization is still very imperfect, and, in General Canby’s judgment, it will take at least ninety days to complete the civil organization throughout the State, The Registrars of Election having been discharged last fall there are no original lista on file. Measures have been taken, however, to collect the original copies and to reorganize the personnel of registration. Although the condition of the State has materially im- Proved since the November election, and ap- pears to be improving constantly, there are still some sections in which the authority of the United States and of the State is openly defied, if not re sisted, and the civil law indifferent or powerless, and the military force stationed there too small to make itself respected. He concludes as follows:— ‘The arrangement of the troops now being made will, I hope, cure this evil; but anti that peg and the machinery for the tration of voters and holding elections be established a fair and free elec- on, a8 Se yet ogee by the fifth section of the law of 5 , cannot be secured. For these reasons, having been consulted by the president and other members of the convention, I suggested that Sp eects thou id not be ordered earlier than the 1st pS denen .& Canby ‘appenas @letter addressed to him by the President of the Constitutional Convention, in which letter he says that the convention has passed @ resolution for the division of the State, which is only a question of “~~ The annosition crmos rom intl Fela ob Xba a Jate rebel newspapers, Po division of the State, however, is supported Uine-tenths of the loyal people. He concludes a8 followgs—“We earnestly believe that this measure will daally disperse and demoralize the disloyal elemeht and give us. sepa- ration of the State, which will bring us the reat, Peace and prosperity which we have for ba Tmany years been striving to secure.”? The Expenses of Cohiftess. Some time ago a resdiution Was offered in the House, directing the Committee on Accounts to in- quire into the number of elerks employed by commit- tees, the amount paid them and whether or riot the services of some of them could be dispensed with; also to investigate the disbursements of the con- tingent fund of the House for 1867-8. On Saturday evening John M. Broomall, of Pennsylvania, who is the chairman of the Committee on Ac- counts, presented a report to the House. It will be remembered that Broomall is the same person who expressed his utter contempt for the opinion of the public press, and yet in the in- troduction to his report he takes occasion to notice the statements in the public press relative to the extravagant manner in which the contingent fund of the House has been expended for the last two or three years. It isa great mistake to suppose that the unnecessary expenses of the House of Repre- sentatives are as enormous as some of the papers are fond of representing them; neither is it true that any glaring instance of fraud, involving large sums of money, can be traced to the door of any officer or member of that body. He admits, however, that there are evils consisting of a multiplicity of petty assaults upon the con- tingent fund, amounting in the aggregate to a con- siderable sum of money. All the expenses of the House, except the salaries to members and officers, are paid out of the contingent fund, and all the ex- penses must be approved by the Committee on Ac- counts before payment. During the Fortieth Con- gress over 4,200 distinct matters, amounting to over $900,000, have been examined and passed upon by this committee. The report compares the expenses of the House for ten years, from 1868 to 1868 in- clusive, and shows that the average amount of the contingent expenses of the House in that time were $405,706; the extremes are found highest in 1868, the amount that year being $571,520, and Jowest in 1863, when the amount was $198,141. The report gives the expenses of the first or long sessions of the va- rious Congresses from the Thirty-fifth to the Fortieth inclusive, with the range of numerous items. A comparison of the expenses of the first session of the Thirty-ffth Congress with the first session of the Fortieth Congress shows the following result:— First session Thirty-fitth Congress, $313,639; first session Fortieth Congress, $846,664, showing that the expenses of the first session of the Fortieth Con- gress exceeded those of the first session of the Thir- ty-fifth Congress by the sum of $533,025. ‘The report says these figures look large, and it is not to be denied that they are greatly in excess of what is necessary or even useful; but to asce! the amount of excess it will not do to contrast the "busi- ness of legislation with the same amount of other basiness. Public affairs never can be administered as economically as those of an individual, Noman devotes his whole attention to the interests of the communtiy as he does to his own. The only fair method is to contrast the House in this respect with similar bodies. Let us begin, therefore, by contrast- ing the House and Senate during tne year 1868. The contingent expenses of the House were $476,399, Of the Senate $391,563. The number of Representatives, 222; of Senators, 64. ‘This shows that the expenses of the Senate were per capita $6,118, while those of the House were $2,045. The next part of the report is devoted to the expenses incurred in the printing and distribu- Uon of public documents. The committee admits that too much money is spent for this purpose. The item of folding documents alone amounted in 1868 to $119,977. Of course this does not include the greater expense of these documents, which consists of the paper, the printing, the binding and the delivery by the mails. The report states that the expenditure for public documents should be cut down at least four-fifths, Referring to the expenses of investi- gating committees the report says:— Another item is inc! eins Neetu ate 4 thrown amy b2, All or neariy all of Up ON FOIE Kensal! pil Hot complaint that nam Taventors. tw Df the House Is too great the report says inemtecy, their - Se of ds no whatever except that of eir pay.

This mischief was of by the committee, but it had the san abn as cedent, and all the committee could do was to limit the labor so directed as far as nage deen necessary tobe retained di the recess, the success in this was by no means gratifying. Politi- cal anizations are and the committee themselves could not but be 1 Rb Td oS their own respective political dtesermi- ated. ‘The report then goes on to compare expense of the clerks office in 1862 with what it is fh 1868.

The remains of Captain Wirz, enclosed in a hand- some walnut coffin, were thiq afternoon, at three o'clock, lowered into their final resting place, in the Catholic cemetery of Mount Olivet, near this citys Three carriages constituted the procession that left the church of St. Peter’s to attend the ceremony of interment. The burial service was brief and simple. Father Boyle oMciated, and an assemblage of about fifty men and women, most of whom were Swiss, stood for the few moments while the prayer was be ing recited with uncovered around the freshly we ~~ and moved ‘way When all was eee tre Louls le, of the counsel for Wire, who stood bx Dip ctlent with Gnipisriu Sarg: tog t0 2 ena, placed a wreath of evergreens on the coffin as it was being lowered into the grave. Wirz is buried near the tomb of an Irish patriot of 748, Thomas Devin OReilly, and within a stone’s throw of ie grave of Mra. Surratt. Tne followmg letter was addressed @ few days ago to the President by Mr. Louis Schade, but no answer was received up to ‘the time of the interment to-day:— WASHINGTON, Feb. 26, 1869. His Excellency ANDREW JOHNSON, President of the United States:— S1r—When you gave the order to have the re- mains of Captain Wirz delivered to me it was cer- tainly your intention that I should get the whole body, and not a of it, The coffin, however, which was delivered to me at the contains only the trunk, the head, right hand and spine Reins . If they had been retained for the benefit and in the interest of science I certainly would have no hg ge to it, nor would the relatives of Cap- tain Wirz, in whose behalf I act. But the skull of the Captain, or some other part of his body, was about two years ago exhibited at the Old Capitol Prison by a discharged soldier for money. For that reason, and no other, I respect- fully ask you to give an order that the missing parts of the remains of Captain Wirz, said to be at the Surgeon General’s office, may be delivered to me for interment along with the other parts, on Sunday afternoon, at three o’clock. 1am, sir, most respect- fully, your obedient servant, LOUIS SCH ADE.

THE GREAT CEEROKEE SWINDLE. The United States Treating With Its Own Paupers for the Purchase of Its Own Land— A Desperate Effort to Get Indian and Other Jobs Through Before March 4. WASHINGTON, Feb. 26, 1969. ‘The exposure of the great Cherokee swindle and the scathing denunciation of it killed the job at once, The Senate indian Committee rejected it yesterday; but, instead of letting it so remain, authorized Senator Doolittle to make another. A desperate effort will then be made to force it through the Senate, in secret session, before the 4th of March, as General Grant is Known to be utterly opposed to the absurd and dangerous recognition of separate and distinct nationalities within the boundaries of the United States. The most nefarious feature of this and other similar jons is that they take untold millions of dollars from our national treasury to pay for lands that are within our national boundaries and are always our own. Take the 13,000,000 acres of land that the “Chero- kee Nation” now propose to sell us for example. Every acre already beiongs to the United States. The constitution expressly provides that Congress shall have exclusive jurisdiction in all matters re- lating to our public lands. Now, the best lawyers m the present Congress—William Lawrence, of Ohio, and others—inform me that these Cherokees have no valid title to the lands they propose to sell the United States, or, in fact, any other. Many years ago the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, moved several Indian tribes—amopg them the Cherokees—to their present location west of the Mississippi, and put them in possession of the lands they now occupy, and to which they now have the regular squatter’s right or title. It is not, how- ever, pretended that the Cherokees have ever occu- ied the 13,000,000 acres they now kindly offer to sell ‘o the United States. The tract joins the one they have occupied for some years past; and they claim to hoid it, not by title from the only power that can give title—but by virtue of “treaty” stipulations. If this monstrous doctrine, cer- tain of our inhabitants may make treaties with the national government, is once accepted may as well be abolished at once, and the govern- ment hereafter conducted by treaties du her. Should the Commisstoner of the General Omce make a ‘“‘treaty” with Brigham Young, providit for the —— by the United States of ‘he went. ern of Utah for 000, and the Senate seriously consider its rati jon, we should never ler hear the last of it.
