WASHINGTON THE DIFFICULTY IN THE CABINET President Grant Firm in His Wish to Retain Secretary Stewart. Senators Reluctant to Embarrass the Administration. MOVEMENTS OF EX-PRESIDENT JOHNSON. WasHINGTON, March 7, 1809. Continued Interest Stewart’s Case—No Truth in His Reported Withdrawal and Appointment ef Mr. Boutwell, of Massa- chusetts. Ail this day was occupied by the politicians, law- yers and almost everybody else, in discussing the great question of Stewart's disability to act as Secre- tary of the Treasury. The statutes of the United States and the volumes of the abridged reports of debates in the Congress of 1789 were in eager request everywhere. Precedents were hunted up to find an excuse for Stewart’s accept- ance of the position, and vice versa, and those who searched long and earnestly dis covered that in the year 1829, under President Jack- son, David Henshaw was appointed Collector of the Port of Boston, but he had to sell out his drug store before he could take the necessary oath. When he surrendered this office he bought back his drug store, and was engaged in carrying on his business when Tyler called him to take a place in his Cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury. Objection was raised when his name was sent into the Senate, and Tyler, to get out of the difficulty, ap- pointed him to the Navy Department., The story that Stewart intends to resign to-morrow and that Boutwell’s name will be sent into the Sen- ate for the Treasury Department turns out to be a canard. There is not a word of truth in it. Grant has. not changed his mind nor has Stewart, but should 2 contest grow out of the hitch between Con- gress and the President Mr. Stewart will probably withdraw. The latter and Judge Hilton were with the President to @ late hour to-day, so that nothing of the kind could have occurred. Grant, up to the moment of the termination of the iter- view, was still fixed in his purpose to hoid on to Stewart for the Treasury. The story abont Boutwell was doubtless manufactured by People who desire to shove Boutwell ahead by keep- ing his name before Grant’s eye constantly. Another false rumor was also circulated to-night to the effect that adeputation of New Yorkers had called upon Stewart to urge him to resign and that Stewart con- sented. It has about as much foundation as the Boutwell story. People well posted here believe the ~eighth section of the act of 1789 will be repealed to- morrow by the Senate, and by the House on Tuesday or Wednesday. Some Senators who opposed the repeal yesterday have since changed their views, after careful study of the law. Conkling is among those who have thus changed. Fessenden is out- *poken for repeal, Congress, it is proven, will at once engage in the consideration of the President’s recommendation that a joint resolution be passed exempting the new Secretary of the Treasury from the operation of that Clause in the act establishing the Treasary Depart- Ment, which provides that no person shall be ap- + Pointed to any office instituted by the act who is *-connected directly or indirectly in carrying on the ‘business of trade and commerce. Since the message - ‘was sent to the Senate there has been much e-eonsnultation among members of Congress upon the ~mudject. Some of the Republicans have openly , s@eclared they will vote for such.s resolution; others “express their reluctance to do so, but say they will ‘do nothing to embarrass the President at the com- of his administration, Mr. Stewart was, ‘Mt 1s said, in consultation with various Senators atin Last of Honest Old Ben Wade.

NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, MARCH es 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET. If there were any facts to be inquired into and to take place—either before the courts or before the executive of the States, That is so self-evident that the mere statement of the fact carries its own proof with it, If a contestant of a seat has good grounds of contest let him make them out at home, before the authorities of his own State; but let the House seek to go no farther than the certificate of the Governor of State that the person named in It has been duly elected, Within the closing week of the Congress just ex- pired half a dozen election cases that had peen pend- ing for two years were disposed of. In one of those a delegate trom New Mexico had drawn nis mileage and per diem during the Con- gress; and his contestant was then admitted, pocketing theReby his milage and per diem, amount- ing to something like $20,000, There were no less than three claimants from one district in Lousiana (the for having died without attaining the honor of ‘aseat in thé House), and this worthy and parti-colored trio had their respective ambitions squeiched last week, but were compensated by a free gift of $2,500 each. The present Congress opens even still worse in that respect. There are said to be no less than thirty contested election cases pending in the House of Representatives; and the very organization of the House came near breaking up in @ disgraceful row originating in this very question. Now, leaving out of view the evident unfairness of the present system, its cost, its consumption of the public time and its general absurdity, the danger that is contained in the evil ought to bea sufficient motive for getting rid of it in the only fair, proper and simple manner of taking the certificate of a State Governor as conclu- sive evidence of the election of the party presenting it, ATTORNEY GENERAL HOAR. m the Boston te ig | Transcript, March 6.)

The Pilot Bont Josiah Johnson, No. 23, Run Down by the Schooner Wanata in the Night Time—A Remarkable Affair—Providential Escape of the Crew. A most extraordinary collision occurred on Satur- day night last, which was rendered more remarka- ble by the fact that though the night was very tem- pestuous no lives were lost. The schooner Wanata, while laboring in atroublesome sea, actually ran down and almost immediately sunk the pilot boat Josiah Johnson, No. 23, the schooner herself sus- taining severe injury, but fortanately rescuing the crew of the sunken vessel and returning with them safely to this port. Below will be found the state- ments of the officers of both vessels. STATEMENT OF THE CAPTAIN OF THE WANATA. Captain Hawkins, of the schooner Wanata, reports as follows:— The schooner Wanata left her anchorage opposite tne Jersey City ferry at about three o'clock on saturday afternoon. The wind blew very fresh, ay afterwards, when the vessel bees bees Branch, increased to a lerabie gale. ‘At dark the signal lanterns were it but the force of the wind was such that they blew out as fast as they were lighted. As it was 1m- possible to return to New York the captain deter- mined to anchor off Barnagat, and proceeded, exer- cising every vigilance to avold collision or So a in any way. At about half-past nine P. M., the mate being at the wheel and the a tain on the watch, on the quarter deck, light was suddenly discovered ahead. The helm was immediately put up, but in an instant the schooner struck the pilot Josiah Johnson, which was lying at anchor. Ali hands on ne the ue boat eded in getting board their ects lost ee ane clothing they at the time. The Johnson sunk Salmost Tmmediately. ‘The Wanata lost all her head gear and carried away = jib boom. Assoon as possible the Wanata was where she remained until day break, when all sait was made, and ‘the vessel, with the shipwrecked crew, came up to the city.

Arrival of United States Treops at Key West—The City Overrun with Cuban Refu- gees—A Ball and Singular Conduct of the Caban Ladies—The Yacht Henrietta. Ky West, Feb. 27, 1869. ‘The steamer De Soto, Captain Eaton, arrived at Key West February 19, with two companies of the ‘Third United States artillery, Company B, Captain Warner; Company D, Captain Webb, the regiment being under command of General T. W. Sherman, Three companies of the same regiment are stationed at Fort Jefferson, Tortugas. They relieve the Fifth artillery, which has been here (Key West) and at Fort Jeiferson for the last two years. ‘The city of Key West is at present literally over- Tun with Cuban refugees, and every vessel, steamer, yacht or smack arriving from Havana ts generally crowded with them. Their baggage is variegated in its quality; for among trunks, chairs, cots, cook- ing matertal, &c., packed into every nook and cor- ner of the vessel—more generally the smacks—one will observe chickens and cats, who have all un- doubtedly joined in the stampede, fearing the wrath to come at the expiration of the amnesty prociama- tion. The steamer Alliance and the smack Mon- tezuma brouglit more than 120 passengers from Ha- Vana on the 7th. About fifty remained at Key West, the remamder going to New Orleans. On the evening of the 25tn the Cubans gave an en- tertaimment at the Kusseil House, to which the guests were en masse invited.

A Number of Horses Burned. About haif-past ten o’clock last night a fire was discovered in the extensive brick livery and boarding stables and lumber yard of Robert Gibson, corner of G: rt and Washington streets. The fire was first ered in the rear of the Stables, where Mr. Sitson, of No. 66 Oharies street, had three horses, valued at about $400 «each, on livery. There b> also in the stables four or five horses, ie ag f of Mr. Gibson, two belonging Matte wortioon, Bethune street; three the pro) analy ne. propery King & Oo,, pier No.9 North river, and six. the property aot, Thomas M.

SONTINUED FROM THIRD PAGE. pew set apart for the President of the United States. ‘When he reached it, however, he found it occupied. ‘The persons in it, instead of attempting to make way for the President, sat looking at him, in curious amazement. Grant glanced around the church, in search of a vacant pew, but nobody seemed willing to discommode himself by helping him to one. Finally the President turned around to his wife, who, with her sisters and tne children, was standing behind bim, engaged like Dimself in looking for @ seat. This seemed to be a signal for retreat, Mrs. Grant, who was in the rear, immediately turned and walked down the aisle to- ‘wards the door, followed by the whole party, This seemed to break the spell which had unaccountably for the moment seized upon the congregation. The preacher, who had manifestly observed the whole movement from the pulpit, suspended his discourse fora minute. Some of the officers of the church near the altar, recovering from the paralyzing effect of Grant’s presence, rushed down the aisle after the distinguished party, with a view of. arresting thelr progress. Others set about providing chairs in front of the altar. The excited individual who rushed wildly down the aisle succeeded in overtaking Mra. Grant and whispered something in her ear. She did not stop, however, but kept straight on towards the door, followed by the whole party. When they had retirea, the preacher, the Rev. Dr. Hamill, stoppod his discourse for the purpose of saying that he re- gretted very much the unfortunate occurrence which they had just witnessed, There was a pew pro- vided for the President of the United States, and he hoped in the future it would be reserved for him, whether he attended the church or not. This was a matter which the trustees of the church should at- tend to and he was very sorry it had been overlooked to-day. The regular services then proceeded. The First Presbyterian Cuurch—President Grant and His Family Preser*. When the President and his family left the Metro- politan church they immediately proceeded to the First Presbyterian church, Rev. Dr. Sunderland’s, which is in the immediate vicinity. When they reached the church the services were well under way. Their entrance of course attracted the atten- tion of the congregation, which was an unusually large one, and included many Senators and mem- bers. The sexton of this church is a negro, and as soon as he recognized the President he rushed up the aisle to Grant’s pew (he rented a pew in this church before his election), opened the door and saw the party comfortably seated. Beyond the usual gazing of the congregation at Grant nothing services, The theme occurred to mar the of the preacher was the universal dominion of Jesus Chnst. the highest position within their gift. This, he con- tinued, was as nothing compared with the acclaim of joy with which the people of God would crown Jesus Lord of ail. ‘The Episcopal Church of the Epiphany—Sec- retary Stewart and His Photograph. At the Church of the Epiphany (Episcopal), on G street, Rev, Dr. Thomas M. Clark, Bishop of Rhode Island, preached an eloquont 4! his text the Fifty-seventh Psalm, first verse:— “flave mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy,” &c.

Dr. Chas. I. White is pastor, was the scene of a petty depredation thia morning. Some rufiian broke open the poor box and emptied it of tts contents be- tween the early morning services and the regular high mass of the day. . The Congregational Church—Works of the Apostles. President Magoun, of Iowa College, preached on the works of the Apostles at the Congregational church on Tenth street this morning. He said the intellect of John was of asubtle and commanding character, that of Peter strong and vigoroug, James had great common sense, Luke was remarkable for his deep religious instincts and the others had each m turn a firm, moral sense and a keenly receptive nature. Their works breathe the spirit of their Master, and in their lives they leave us an exampie of sublime devotion to the teachings they so willingly received and afterwards fearlessly preached. Dr. Bellows at Wall’s Opera Honse. Rev. Dr. Bellows, of your city, preached this even- ing at Wail’s Opera House toa very large audience. He commenced his discourse by warning his hearers to beware of hardness of heart and likened those that live regardless of divine laws toa man who, becoming dissatisfied with the sun and desirous of revenging himself upon it closes his window and shuts 1s rays from his room, and contentedly suffers by the action. After aoding to the great simplicity the passage charging mortals to love God with all their hearts and their neigh- bors as themselves, the eloquent speaker told the audience that many su its per- formance was as simple. Such, eve was not the case. To lead a Christian’s "iife 1m: any trials must be encountered and great otetacles by heavenly ald overcome, but we were worthy of being called Spee to endure sacrifices, and for more trivia things had risked greater dangers than those required of Christians in late days. In this con- nection he referred to the late rebellion, and ex- pressed the belief that more young men would lead Christian lives if real danger was to be faced. The speaker concluded his remarks by invoking his con- gorwe to seek office under the great Prime Min- ter of Heaven, and in order that this great reward should be attained it was necessary that we should humbiy seek light by careful reading of the gospel and earnest prayer. RELIGIOUS SERVICES ELSEWHERE. Newsvurs, N. Y., March 7, 1869. ‘This bas been a magnificent day in this city, the sky unciouded, the air mildly cool and God's pure sunlight flooding the earth and bathing the thou- sands of worshippers on their way to and from His temples “built with hands.” ‘This being the first Sunday in March the sacrament of the holy commu- nion was celebrated in the Episcopal churches. In St. George's the assistant rector, Rev. Octavius Ap- plegate, prefaced the communion with a short dis- course on the righteousness of Christ. In the Associate Reformed church Rev. J. R.

Middletown. MIDDLETOWN, N.

Services as usual at St. Joseph’s Catholic church—mass at eight A.M. and vespers at four P. M. were celebrated, Rev. Father Andrew O’Reilly officiating. At the First Preabyte- rian church the Rev.
