President Grant yesterday informed a committee of the Pennsylvania delegation In Congress, who called to inform im how they proposed to distribute the minor patronage in that State, that he intended to appoint a few personal friends there to office, and after that he would defer to the wishes of the dele- gation. The oMce seekers in Washington are besieging Vice President Colfax, as they cannot have a hearing from President Grant. The good natured Vice Presl- dent reiterates bis determination to take no part whatever in the distribution of the patronage, and to get rid of the hungry crew has expreased a deter- mination to leave the city. The caucus of the repub- ican members of the Senate yesterday was partly for the purpose of selecting a President pro tem. Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island, was chosen. In relation to the Cabinet Wendell Phillips says Massachusetts furnishes all the first rate brains it contains. Its material furnishes no indications as to the President’s plan of pacification in the South, except that it means the peopie, as hitherto, must do the work. In three of bis expreasious—the en- dorsement of the new amendment, the’ proposed citizenship of the Indian and a rigorous enforce- ment of the reconstruction laws—Mr. Phillips. de- clares himself well satisfied with the inaugural, for he always expects promises made by President Grant to be performed.

A man, under the assumed name of Cunningham, who ts confined tm the White Plains prison on @ charge of bigamy in having married two young ladies within thitty-alx- hours, has made 3 marvellous statement implicating 3 Logan No. 2, which he expresses himself willing to swear t and prove provided he is guaranteed from prosecution on the charge of bigamy. His second wife, he. states, was # discarded mistress of Logan, who had in her posses- sion letters and documents showing that Logan was watching his opportunity to murder Rogers in revenge for evidence he had given against him some time before, and he married her to obtatn these documents, Logan being a close friend of his and having offered him pecuniary inducements for them. Logan afterwards, however, “went back” on him, and he now makes the statement in retaliation. ‘The officers of the army and navy, Department of the Gulf, met at Deimonico’s last evening for the Purpose of organizing a society, General Bowen was elected temporary chairman.

BAT Boy.—By a few phrases in a coroner's faqnest there is a picture presented altogether better than any of those of villa- The Cabirc: Dificulty—The Eight Among the Po"ticians, Mr. Stewart's surreador of the Treasury De- partment back again into the hands of thé President t bas ontazated General Grant Shang the D ne PG Clashing political influences have gathered about him and party considera- tions are thrust upon him. A tremendous pressure from Congress has been at work in favor of Mr. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, for the Treasury, including the retirement of Mr, Hoar from the Cabinet in behalf of this arrange- ment, and the appointment of an Attorney Genera! from New York as her equivalent for the loss of the Treasury, Rumor yesterday morning had sottled it upon this adjustment, and fortified the appointment of Boutwell with the assurances thut he was a favorite with Grant, with Washburne and with Rawlius, the faithful staff officer who, they say, {s held in reserve for the War Office. The retirement of Mr. Stewart was # point gained to the whiskey rings and all the other cliques and combinations of Treasury robbers, in and out of office, and to all their spoils- seeking radical affiliations, The next point was to fill the place made vacant with a more accept- able man to the spoilsmen than Mr. Stewart. And here a powerfal political element, which had remained invisible to the naked eye, was brought actively into the contest. We refer to the protective tariff party in Congress. With the announcement of Mr. Stewart's ap- pointment the ‘Free Trade League” of this city got up a congratulatory meeting, and at this meeting Mr. William C. Bryant. and Mr. W. D. Field could not conceal their satistac- tion at the discovery that a free trader had been placed in charge of the Treasury. No doubt this valuable information raised the alarm among the high tariffites vf Congress and rallied thom ina solid body’against the recogoi.ion of Mr, Stewart on any terms and in a fixed determination against any repeal or modification of the Treasury law of 1789. The zeal of the Free Trade League in this matter outran its discretion, and Bryant, who is quite as much a fanatic on free trade as Greeley is on protection, in forgetting the goody old injunction, ‘Never halloo until you are out of the woods,” threw the fat into the fire. Hence the Congres- sional pressure which has resulted in the retirement of Stewart and in bringing Bout- well into the foreground. David A. Wells had been agitated among the republican high tariff journals as a marvellous proper man for the Treasury until he undertook to demonstrate, in his official report as Treasury Commissioner, that the protective system operates to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, But disqualified for the management of the revenue service. Boutwell, a Massachusetts tariff man, is the man for Pennsylvania and all the protectionists. True, it does not appear that high tariff or free trade arguments have been brought to bear upon General Grant; but the objections of Bryant to ‘Boutwell no more need an explanation than the admiration for Boutwell expressed by the Pennsylvanians. To Illinois, however, and the adjoining States the prevailing popular sentiment is against the high protective school of Pennsyl- vania and Massachusetts. The interests of the agricultural West are identified with free trade, and perhaps General Grant may lean to. this theory of. cheap “store goods.” It so happens, too, that the tariff question remains an open one in the_ republican party. But there is none the less a conflict between the protective wing and the free trade wing of the party going on; and doubtless this is the secret of the difficulty with General Grant in finding a new man for the ‘Treasury acceptable to Congress. The politi- cians have evidently gained a hearing with him; but if he is laboring for a Secretary that ‘will give them general satisteotion he is laboring in vain. Notwithstanding the stumbling block of 1789 in reference to Mr. Stewart, over which the Senate stumbled before apprised of its ox- istence, the original plan of General Grant of selecting his Cabinet without the aid of the politicians is still the best for a cohesivaand harmonious Cabinet, His experience of the last two days has, we presume, satisfied the General upon this point. In any event we lok for a solution of this Cabinet difficulty to-day, and though it may be Mr. Boutwell we are prepared to hear that it ts not Mr. Boutwell, An Ornaon Inga.—A_ newspaper in Oregon publishes its list of births, marriages and deaths under the head of “Come, Fixed to Stay, and Gone.” In Chicago the rdf is “Come, Nix for Btay, Gone Up.” Tus Spaxtsn Government anv toe CUoRAN Revo.vtion.—It is telegraphed by the At- lantic cable that General Dulce has been or- dered to suspend ail executions of prisoners.

That State campaign, therefore, was accepted asthe touchstone of Giait’s popularity. The State had always been. closely divided and sharply contested between the two parties, and from the general drift of the elections East and West of 1867 the democrats were encouraged with the evidences of a popular reaction which might give them the initial victory of 1868. The republicafs appreciated thelr danger. The democrats were inspired with the hope of adefeat of Grant in his first preliminary battle. Consequently the State canvass in New Hatmp- shire last spring was contested foot by foot on both sides, and every accessible voter was brought out; for the result was to be the first gun for the Presidency under the banner of Grant. The election marked a return of the popular tide to'the republicans and dissipated all doubis as to the availability of General Grant and as to the action of the Chicago Con- vention. This year New Hampshire haa been called upon to speak first among the States her opinion of President Grant’s inaugural and upon his policy of a Cabinet of his owa choos- ing.. The result—a. more decisive victory than that of last March—jwas on ¢lec- tion night substantially covered by the congratulatory speech of the Governor elect, Onslow Stearns. He said :—‘‘It is a re- affirmation of New Hampshire's attachment to republican principles, and of her determina- tion to stand by President Grant in his de- clared purposes of introducing economy, re- trenchmént and reform into every department of the government. As New Hampshire was the first State to formally present the name of General Grant to the ngtion, it is fitting that her people should send as a greeting the /frst endorsement of his administration.” Very good, Governor; see that you stick to your text, for the administration will be fighting the Philistines of the whiskey rings and ‘other Treasury plundering rings before long, and the cries of the wounded will be apt to startle the radical junta of Congress. Connecticut comes next—April 5. The elec- tion here, as in New Hampshire, includes’ the State delegation’ to the lower house of the Forty-first or present Congress. New Hamp- shire returns an unbroken republican delega- tion, Inthe last Congress, expiring the 4th of March, the democrats of Connecticut had three members to one republican. But General Grant last November completely upset the State, carrying three out of the four Congres- sional districts, What is the prospect now? The democrats profess to have some hope of recovering the State on the negro suf- frage issue embraced in the pending fifteenth amendment to the constitution. They are making their fight on that question and the democratic dry bones of State rights. We ap- prehend, however, that the democratic party on these old Bourbonic ideas is dead and dono for, and that its reconstruction will depend upon the coming events of the new adminis- tration.

ReoxGanization of Tak Aumy.—It is a significant fact that out of @hree most con- spicuous heroes of our late war Grant is President and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, Sherman is a general and Sheridan a lieutenant general. The Army Orders, dated March 5, 1869, and signed by the Secretary of War, General Schofield, in- dicate a return to the peace basis from which “the logic of events” bas during several years past compelled a wide departure. And the orders signed by General Sherman on the 8th of March, naming the members of his staff— all of them experienced officers, whose war record is honorable to the highest degree and who are known to be in perfect unison with their distinguished chief—justify the hope, which cannot fail to be realized, that the United States army will henceforth prove to be no less compact and powerful and ready for all emergencies than it has hitherto been, “Tar Spruce Basis 0 OF THE Ravontto"—The gold and silver in the Rocky Mountains, under Grant's inaugural. Troupe ww tHe Sranisiu Conves—Mowr- pensigr Looxina Ur.—The stormy debate in the Constitnent Cortes on the 8th of March was marked especially by the calin and dignified speech of Marshal Serrano, defending the pro- visional government against the bitter attacks of :the republicans, asserting the sovereign authority of the Cortes and insisting that the determination of a form of government for Spain and her future rules should be loft to the Constituent Cortes alone; by the demand of the republican members’ that the Duke of Montpen- sier be divested of his rank aa Marshal ‘of Gpain, and by their accusation that the provi- sional goverament was trying to smuggle him into the country in order to place him on the throne; and by the declaration of Admiral “Topete, the Minister of Marine, amidst great excitement, that ‘‘a kingdom with Montpen- aier on the throne was preferable to a repith- lic.” From all this we cannot but infer that the revolution in Spain—which for a month past has been stationary, if not retrograde—ia not unlikely to be an utter failure, so far as the progress of republican ideas is concerned, and that Montpensier’s chances of ascending the vacant throne have materially fmproved.

They have now reached Cospedes, the h Lee daa ot Sore Rebeating, however, a fraction or two ac- igs The advance steady, cautious and permanent, This is an extraordinary rise within so short a time, and shows that the people and pradent capitalists of Europe are becoming enlightened as to the value of our securities. Not that we are sur- prised at the advance, for “bonds bearing ribg per cent gold interest ought to be above par in countries where money in home securities, or the ordinary interest on it, is not worth more than three or four per cent. Indeed, it is surprising that our bonds did not go up before and higher than they are now. Of course the rise in Europe has been followed by an advance here, Still it is strange that there has not been an equal appreciation of the bonds in Wall street within the same timo as in London and Frankfort. While they have risen ten per cent in Europe they ‘have not advanced, on an average, more than six to seven here. The ‘decline of gold and the greater demand for money for other purposes at a high rate of interest have been the cause, probably, of this seeming anomaly. We see no reason why our securities should not go up abroad ¢o par or above par, considering the high rate of interest they bear, and they will, probably, continue to advance to such a point. There must be a corresponding appreciation of them at home, though the market price will be controlled in a measure by the price of gold. There is not a country in the world so able to pay. not only the interest of the debt, but to liquidate the principal as well. Compara- tively our debt is a bagatelle ; for the resources of the country and the rapid and vast increase of population and national wealth are withopt example in history and almost unlimited. The people and capitalists of Europe begin to ap- preciate this fact. The doubt on their minda seems to have been about the stability of the government and the disposition to‘pay the debt. The events of the last six months have dispelled this doubt in a measure.

The position he occupies at the present moment is a proud one. Spanish writets claim that they hold a force of seventy thousand men and a numerous fleet, while the insurgents under Cespedes are a scattered horde who will soon be captured and condignly shot, Yet this scattered horde have held the seventy thousand Spatish troops busy or at bay for six months, and ir that time haye obtained dominion over more tian one-half of the island. In view of the disparity of equip- ment between the two armies ye are told that Cespedes will continue -to puriue the Fabian policy and avoid evérything like a pitched battle with the Spanish force. This is the wisest thing he could do. It ws that policy which defeated the triumphaxt Hannibal in Italy; if has neutralized all the efforts of Dulce in Cuba, and it will degroy the Cava- lier of Rhodes, who is to succeld him as Cap- tain General. The State Department at Waihington to-day redounds with complaints of th: agents of the Spanish government against thi departure, ef- fected or proposed, of men, a'ms and muni- tions for the liberals in Cuba, Int these sedu- lously omit alt mention of tle same things which by every steamer from Jew York they are pouring into Havana for thi Spanish army. The best way to solve this diplanatic difficulty is for Congress to recognize the belligerent rights of the Cuban patriots, ind place both } parties on an equal footing as o the applica- tion of arguments manufactued in Yankee arsenals to prove the righteousness of their cause. Let General Butler prisent some sen- sible resolutions in the Howe which shall supersede our present nonsersical neutrality laws, and relieve the great regublic from the anomalous position of protectixg all the ‘Plug Ugly” and “Blood Tub” " governments which on this side of the Atlantic claim to govern by divine right and defend the exploded theory of human slavery. The revolution in Cuba has shown all the vitality necessary for a Under this’ state df things gold, too, must decline, whatever fluctuations or combinations there may he at present or here~ after in Wall. street. There is no necessity for legislation on the subject; the growth of the country and the laws of nature and trade will bring us gradually and almost inseasibly to a specie basis. The evil days are passing away, and with the prospect of peace and prosperity before us the credit of the govern- ment must confinue to rise and our securities to appreciate. an untrammelled possession of hii office is, therefore, stronger in the present han it was in the last Congress. But how stands the Senate? By the opposition of Sentor Sumner it was prevented from considering this mea- sure when called up by Sendor Sherman on Tuesday, and yesterday, wham it was called up by Senator Thayer, its cmsideration was opposed by Edmunds, Howsd, Williams and others, and the bill was finaly referred to the Judiciary Commlttee, by a wte.of thirty-fonr to twenty-five, where it is likely to remain for some time. Here, then, 4 the whole situa- tion, The House, reflectingthe sentiment of the country, promptly does his act of justice. The Senate, acting for the politicians, stands to make terms. =.

So, in the same way, the expansion of the facilities for stock gumbling will tend to correct the evil. The new board enters upon a very precarious existence.

Up town, in this city, in magnifi- cent establishments made for the purpose, the law against gambling is systematically vio- lated every day and hour. Millions are won and lost every week. Only the: other day one of the club gamblers refused to pay and was sued in court for the amount he had lost, and there was good evidence enough, if anybody wanted to prosecute gamblers; yet there was no prosecution. And with all this bold vice before the police the only “arrest of gam- blers” we hear of just now is of two babies in Brooklyn pitching broken pieces of china at Oh, the farce of justice!
