Then we have an account of a | NEW YUKK HERALD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1874.-TRIPLE SHEET. Mecesetty for Reconstructing the Cabi- meot—-A Respectful Suggestion to Mr. Fisa. In General Grant’s letter accepting his first nomination,in May, 1868, he said, among other things in the same vein, this :—‘‘New political issues, not foreseen, are constantly arising, the views of the public on old ones are constantly changing, and a purely administrative officer should always be left free to exeoute the will of the people.” This conception of public duty is, in some re- | spects, open to criticism ; but, although not | quite guarded enough in expression, it em- bodies an idea which can never be safely dis- | regarded in a free government. It is of the essence of popular institutions that the ad- ministration should have flexibility enough to bend readily to the public will, when authentically ascertained and distinctly ex- pressed. General Grant entered political lite by o formal profession of allegiance to the sovereignty of the people and a full recoguition of their indefeasible | right to control their own government. He refused to promulgate a sot of fixed maxims, on the express ground that it would be in derogation of popular sovereignty. Ho, of course, did not mean that he would think it his duty to resign his office if his conduct or | policy fell under popular condemnation, but | only to acknowledge his obligation to make | such changes of policy or administration as might be required by the public will. The disastrous rebuke which he encountered in the late elections presents the first serious occasion for an inquiry on his part as to how he shall keep the memorable pledge we have recited. The country, in the most authori- tative of all ways, has required him to change his course, and be ought to congratulate him- self that ho bas never bound himself by pledges which can obstruct the freedom of his present action. Hehas retained his perfect liberty to obey the voice of the people. Nor | ought he to be at any loss to per- ceive that the weight of public con- demnation has fallen chiefly on things for | which he and his Cabinet are responsible. The country thinks he bas followed bad ad- vice. It has pronounced its verdict against * | the ruinous financial policy of Secretary Bout- well, which was a main cause of last year's | panic and this year’s stagnation. The coun- try has condemned the policy of Attorney General Williams in dealing with Louisiana, which ranks next to the panic in exciting public dissatisfaction. The country disliked his St. Domingo job and his Cuban apathy. Most of the incentives to this great political revolution are incentives having their origin | in Executive measures, and the public dis- | content can be allayed only by changes which will justify greater confidence in tho Presi- dent's official advisers. In other words, the first and indispensable step toward a restora- Cabinet. The President must not only turn the means of seeing that he has turned over a So long as he keeps the same body | of discredited advisers about him the people | will have no satisfactory evidence that he in- tends to fulfil his carly pledge by conforming . | to their will. A change of the Cabinet is evidently the | great thing to be done. It would inspire the | aa desponding republicans with new hope. It |-would convince them that their party is not doomed to struggle on against the same causes of defeat by which it has been so signally | prostrated and humiliated. A revolution in | the Cabinet would also inspire Congress with | | should consist of men of high standing, se- | lected less on the ground of the President's personal liking than for their possessing the | full confidence of the party. With such a Cabinet the republican leaders in Congress would be on terms of more useful intercourse | than they had ever been with any previous official family of the President, and a cordial, concerted effort would be made during the | | coming session to rectify mistakes and inaugurate a strong, popular policy, which would restore party confidence and inspire | | the hope of recovering lost ground. If Presi- | dent Grant would reconstruct his Cabinet a | | feeling would at once arise in the party which | | cannot be better expressed than by those mag- | nificent lines of Milton's ‘‘Lycidas :' So sinks the day star in the ocean tea And yet anon repairs bis drooping head. And, after tricking his beams with uew splen- | dors, ‘flames in the forehead of the morning sky.” Such are the fresh hopes that would | | spring up in the republican heart if President | Grant would at-once fulfil his well known pledge to ‘execute the will of the people.’ ; But, even if we credit him with the sin- cerest desire to do this, candor obliges us to | admit that he must meet obstacles and em- | barrassments of a kind which are pecu- liarly trying to a man of strong per- ; sonal friendships and attachments like President Grant, whose failings in this respect “lean to virtue’s side.” Unal- | terable fidelity to friends is a respectable | trait of private character, and nobody who has observed General Grant’s treatment of | those with whom he bas formed ties of inti- | macy can dony that he possesses it. It is | | accordingly the duty of those of his friends to | whom his steadiness of attachment fs likely to interfere with his public duties to relieve him, without waiting for hints or intimations, | {from that kind of embarrassment. They | should generously and decisively take them- selves out of the way as soon as they perceive that the honor of his public career and the | ; Sticcess of hie administration require such a | sacrifice, There is no member of his present Cabinet who should vaturally be so quick to recog- nize the force of such an appeal and the obli- | gation of such a duty as Secretary Fish, who | | is a high-minded and chivalrous gentleman. If he wero to set the exnmplo | of resigning in this important conjunc- ture every other member of the Cabinet would be under a moral compnision to follow | him. We hope he wiil permit us to recall to his recollection a precedent set by another eminent New York statesman more than — forty years ago. We, of covise, refer to President Jackson's confidence and friendship | as Secretary Fish does in the confidence | and friendship of President Grant. Mr. Van Buren was at that imo the trusted counsellor of Jackson and the head of his Cabinet, as Mr. Fish is the head of Grant's j prostrated in the dust. Secretary Van Buren, who stood as high in | of President Jackson to change his Cabinet the Secretary of State forced the retirement of all the other members by his own voluntary resignation. We do not overrate the charac- ter of Secretary Fish, or, to speak with entire caution and precision, we do not overestimate the opinion which Mr. Fish’s fellow towns- men have formed of him, in supposing him capable of following so noble and generous an example of faithful friend- ship. We will not pursue the suggestive | sequel of Mr. Van Buren’s public career, be- cause we do not wish to deprive Mr. Fish of the pure lustre of unselfish and disinterested action; and yet the subsequent rewards and honors which fell to Mr. Van Buren are not calculated to discourage this kind of gene- | rosity. Certain it is, that Secretary Fish’'s resignation now, followed, as it necessarily would be, by the retirement of all the mem- bers of General Grant's present Cabinet, would be regarded by the country, and espe- cially by the republican party, as a noble and heroic service to the country in an exigency important enough to justify personal sacri- fices, It is an act which could not be ex- pected of a vulgar and commonplace politi- cian; but this community respects Mr. Fish as a high-minded gentleman and a patriot. Count Von Arnim’s Second Arrest. The rearrest of Count Von Arnim, by order of Prince Bismarck, and his imprisonment in a police station, is am unexpected event in the famous and extraordinary contest which is taking place in Berlin. The circumstances under which Von Arnim was originally arrested were so harsh that they first called forth the surprise of the civilized world, which inferred that he was guilty of a grave offence, and then excited its indignation, when it was found that he was accused only of retaining documents, which, justly or unjustly, he claimed as his personal property. His second arrost only shows that Bismarck is resolved to foree Count Von Arnim into the most un- favorable position, and is not content to allow him the advantages he might derive from freedom of consultation on the verge of his trial. Yet, if it was considered safe to permit | Count Von Arnim to remain at large under bail, his rearrest without the preferment of new charges must be looked upon as an arbi- trary and unjustified abuse of power; not the less arbitrary because the Count has been dis- charged from the custody of the police and kept as a prisoner in his own house. The re- port from London, which we print to-day, that the documents in dispute have been for- warded from England to the Count Von ; Arnim, and will be presented by him to the Emperor William, is very likely to be true, and if so indicates that it is not the Emperor from whom he desired to withhold them, but Bismarck, whose use of them he probably had reason to distrust. Counting the Votes in Unpleasant news comes from New Orleans that frauds are again likely to be perpetrated in counting the returns of the Louisiana elec- tion with a view to cheat the democrats out of | their victory, as was dome two years ago, Those incorrigible plotters may as well understand this thing cannot be done twice with impunity. They mistake the period. Neither tho politics of the country nor the | politics of Louisiana are any longer in the | same condition as when Durell issued his mid- night order and Attorney General Williams | abotted Kellogg in usurping the government of the State. When that outrage was perpe- trated the republican party of the country Louisiana. had just achieved its greatest vic- tory in the re-eleotion of President Grant, and the democratic-liberal coali- | tion bad encountered so prostrating a | defeat that neither the coalition nor either branch of it seemed to have any future. The Louisiana usurpers, supported by a great national party puffed up with the arrogance of victory, were so strongly backed that they | felt that (here was nothing which they might | not safely dare. But that structure of victory has suddenly toppled down in ruins and can no longer serve as 4 bulwark for local frauds, The Louisiana usurpation is one of the causes by which the proud republican party has been | The party bas | learned by humiliating experience whaf it costs to defy justice and trample on a State. The honest indignation of the people has taught a lesson which the Northern republi- cans will not forget even if the Louisiana | carpet-baggers do, and the latter will be no longer screened and shielded by a great na- tional organization. We warn them that if they count in their candidates dishonestly their triumph will be skort. Congress will be in session in the course of two or three woeks. The repyblican majority will come together smarting under defeat and anxious to do something to retrieve the situation, If ® fresh batch of election outrages comes up from Louisiana Congress will be likely to seize the opportanity to wash its hands of the whole scandalous Louisiana business, What | Congress did not do from justice it may be constrained to do by fear of impending ruin. It cannot afford a continuance of that kind of | outrages, and will be compelled to protect itself in sheer desperation. If this new fraud is consummated the republican majority in | Congress will inquire whether they have not @ duty to discharge under that clause of the constitution which guarantees to every State a republican government, So, Messieurs Palsifiers, take heed ! Jopor Buatcuronp yesterday rendered an important decision upon the question of com- position in bankruptcy. Gradually, by tho action of the courts, the principles of our | bankruptcy laws are being settled. Tre Asxansss InvasTication,—It was tho opinion of the republicans in Congress at the late session that Arkansas needed o litte more reconstruction. Accordingly a committee was appointed to go out to Little Rock, look into certain alleged elec- tion frauds and various other irregularities, civil, uncivil and warlike, and to report at the coming session tho results of the in- vestigation, Messrs. Poland and Ward, of the committes, are now at Little Rook, and have undertaken the labors assigned them; but after the late overwhelming election in | | Arkansas the best thing they could do, as | it appears to us, would be to close up their books, return to Washington and report that as matters now stand in Arkangss any furthor | Supreme Court. A Legal Conundrum. We will begin our reply to the third letter of Mr. George Ticknor Ourtis on the Louisiana question by propounding a conundrum which he ought to be the most competent per- son to solve, but which is equally presented to him and to his eminent legal brethren. Our conundrum is founded on an anecdote related by Mr. Curtis in a foot note to one of the pages of his elaborate “Life of Daniel Webster.”’ It seems that after Mr. Webster had been retained to argue the well-known Rhode Island case in the Supreme Court he engaged the assistance of a young but learned lawyer, Bosworth by name, who had acted as junior counsel in the same case in the Court below. This Mr. Bosworth had elaborated a | point which his former senior dismissed as of little consequence. When he was called to Washington to assist Mr. Webster in the case he went over the points argued in the lower tribunal for Mr. Webster's information. After he had got through Mr. Webster asked if that was all, intimating that the case was not fully covered. Mr. Bosworth modestly replied that he had prepared another point which his former senior thought unimportant, and went on to state it. Mr. Webster started up with great animation, saying, ‘‘Mr. Bos- worth, by the blood of all the Bosworths that fell on Bosworth Field, that is the point of the case! Let it be included in the brief by all means." Now, our conundrum is, What was that great point which Mr. Webster regarded as so entirely decisive? The anecdote, as told by Mr. Webster’s biographer, leaves us quite in the dark; but we have no doubt what the point was. A careful study of Mr. Webster's argument on that occasion convinced us that ita great point was the duty of the President to recognize what he called ‘‘the exist- ing government.” We accordingly pre- sented that as the turning point of the controversy, and our judgment was confirmed by the forcible letter of Judge Black, who, without any reference to Mr. Webster's argument, singled out the duty of the President to recognize the de facto gov- ernment as the proper hinge of the discussion. If that was not the point which Mr. Webster swore “by the blood of all the Bosworths who fell on Bosworth Field” was ‘‘the point of the case,"’ we would be obliged if some lawyer would tell us which of the other points made by Mr. Webster is entitled to that distinction? It was a point that other able counsel had neglected and undervalued; which cor- responds well enough with the treatment the same point has received from all our eminent legal correspondents, with the exception of Judge Black. It is certain that that point was made by Mr. Webster in his celebrated argument, and it would be difficult to indi- cate any other of his points which other able lawyers would be likely to underrate, It seems to us that Mr. Ourtis, who quotes Mr. Webster as an authority against Judge Black’s position—that the de facto govern- ment is the one to be recognized—falls iato | singular misconceptions. Speaking of the two governments in Rhode Island he hazards, in the letter we print to-day, the strange as- sertion that ‘‘each was as much a de faclo gov- ernment as the other,” whereas Mr. Webster exerted all his great powers of sarcasm and ridicule to show that the Dorr affair was never ade facto government at all. We ask atten- tion to the following passage from Mr. Web- | ster's argument before the Supreme Court :— “Thirdly and lastly, I say that there is no evidence offered, nor has any distinct allega- tion been made, that there was an actual government established and put in operation to displace the charter government even for a single day. That is evident efiough. You find the whole embraced in those two days, the 3d and 4th of May. The French Revola- tion was thought to be somewhat rapid. That took three days. But this work was accomplished in two. It is all there, and what is it? Its birth, its whole life and its death were acoomplished in forty-eight hours. What does it appear that the members of this government did? Why, they voted that A should be Treasurer and O Secretary and Mr. Dorr Governor, and chose officers of the But did ever any man under that authority attempt to exercise a particle of official power? Did any man ever bring suit? Did ever an pfficer make an arrest? Did any act proceed from any member of this government, or from any agent of it, to touch a citizen of Rhode Is- land in his person, his safety or his property, so as to make the party answerable upon an indictment or in a civil suit? Never. It | nevor performed one single act of govern- ment. It never did a thing in the world! All was patriotism, and all was paper; and with patriotism and with paper it went out on tho 4th of May, admitting itself to be, as all must regard it, a contemptible sham."’ And this was Mr. Curtis’ de facto govern- ment! As mucha de facto government, ho gravely tella us, as tho established govern- ment of the State! His opinion on this point is, at least, in marked contrast to that of Mr. | Webster. Mr. Webster devoted a large por- tion of his argument to prove that “‘the ex- isting government'’ was the only one entitled to recognition, We call Mr. Ourtis’ attention to the powerful passage in which Mr. Webster exploded the reasoning of his ‘learned ad- versary’’ founded on the pretence that the Dorr affair was ‘‘a rightful government.’ He meets the pretence that it was ‘rightful’ by showing that it was not dé facto, and thence arguing that it had no title to federal support. (Webster's works, vol. vi., pp. 230-31.) Mr. Webster did not believe that the char- ter government was rightful in any broad and equitable sense, Mr. Curtis himself inserts in his biography, a confidential letter written by Mr. Webster, when Secretary of State, to an eminent citizen of Rhode Island, in tho very midst of that difficulty, urgently advising an immediate change of the constitution of Rhode Island for displacing the charter government, against which the people were in rebellion. Ho regarded the charter government as rightful only in the sense that it was established. And this idea disposes of Mr. quotations from Mr. Webster and Chiof Justice Tansy. Itis true that they inoiden- tally employed such phrases as “the lawfal governmont,’’ but ins judicial view tho law- fal government and the de facto government are always regarded as identical, and honce a géeming confusion of language.

The President and the Newspapers. Our illustrious chief magistrate, second Washington and father of the faithful, has unbosomed himself again, and informs us that the newspapers which claimed to be his organs are not organs after all. We are given to understand that no mere journal speaks the sentiments of the great ruler, and that whoever claims to be his ‘‘organ’’ claims falsely. This disappoints and surprises us. When The Re- public was founded we welcomed it as an organ, breathing direct high inspirations, whose lightest note would represent the President's wishes, But it seems that The Republic no longer holds that function, and is only an ordinary independent newspaper after all, like the rest of us. Mr. Nast was for a long time as faithful asa valet, but Mr. Nast has shown erratic tendencies, and we may at any time have the third Washington caricatured in the most absurd attitude. The President, therefore, so far as the press is concerned, is in more than Nova Zembla isolation. He shines upon no newspaper and no newspaper shines upon him. But one thing remains. That is the Henauv. We were his organ for eleven days, just preceding the foundation of The Republic, and a very pleasant time we had. The Presi- dent was never a happier man, He came to New York and strolled about with the boys, and saw Uncle Dick, and Rufo Ingalls, and Tom Murphy and all the other genial states- men, and had no care.on his mind, Now, why not resume the relation? Why fret over minor newspapers when the Heratn is at his side in all its glory, willing and anxious to serve him? Our terms are easy—‘‘twelve dollars a year invariably in advance,"’ or one dollar a month, Then he must change his Cabinet and extirpate the carpet- baggers in the South, He must keep his fingers out of inflation and Cuba sohemes and Barnum policies, intended to create popularity by causing trouble and agi- tation, In fine, the President has only to do what the Heratp tells him and keep his sub- scription paid, and he will have an organ that will be a comfort to him and cheaper than any in the market. General Butler’s New Party. The announcement that General Butler is about to found a new party is one of the most important events resulting from the canvass, and, although he denies it in his interview with our correspondent in Boston, which we print to-day, still the party itself may con- strain him to accept the office which he would modestly decline, We have felt for some time that the General was too large a man to be comfortable in any | existing party organization, in this respect re- | minding ua of the late lamented Tweed, who preferred finally, under the pressure of events, to serve on Blackwell's Island rather than rule on the island of Manhattan. ‘The details of this proposed party are uot given to us, but, both republicans and democrats will watch with interest the movements of the Essex statesman. It seems certain that the | General has reached the end of his usefulness as arepublican, his demoeratio usefulness bay- ing come to an end ten or twelve years ago. Nothing is left to him but a new party. Thero will be no lack of men, and conspic- uous men, to assist in this new organization. Colonel Mann, of Philadelphia, is a famous | recruit, and there are a number of eminent Pennsylvanians who share the confidences of Colonel Mann who would gladly follow the | General. Several gentlemen now under trial | in Washington will, if they keep out of jail, make admirable members. New York is rich in recruits, The Honorable John Morrissey, @ very powerful statesman, is now unattached to any party, ond he has a friend by the | name of Hayes, now in search of employ- | ment, who would be of value to the new movement. Ned Hogan and John Fox and Jimmy O'Brien and the modorn Adonis, Tom | Creamer, would add a great deal of vivacity | and point to the organization, ‘Then there is | our old friend, Knickerbocker Havemeyer, who has claims. It would be common charity for Benjamin to give the old man aseat by the fire and a pipe. Comptroller Green will soon havo leisure, and this new party would give him opportunity, and if the | General is not too particular about his asso- | ciations he will find no trouble in obtaining | Mr. Waterbury and Charley Spencer and Dick | Croker. Since the unfortunate quarrel between | Uncle Dick and the democratic organ the | venerable statesman of Rhinebeck may also be said to be without a party. We commend Uncle Dick to the new party. He will give it wisdom and experience and pay all the wine bills, This now party will, of course, have the value of Mr, Sanborn’s counsel, and we shall be dis- appointed if Mr. Jayne is not assigned to a high place. Throughout the South there are thousands of unappreciated gentlemen—Kel- | logg, Dick Busteed, Whittemore, Governor Moses and many others of equal renown—who | would rally to the new movement. These men aro not wanted by the republicans and would | not be accepted by the democrats, and the | Butler party is their only relief. We would also recommend Mr. Theodore Tilton, a young | man of great ability, out of employment, and | seomingly more in need of good, hard, whole- some work--speaking, writing, woodchop- ping or somothing respectable—than any man we know. My. Moulton, if he is not other. wise employed in serving the State, will, no Aoubt, be open to an offer, If General Butler will found this party ho will do the country a great service. Then, if he will omigrate with his party to the southern districts of New Mexico, he will attain unpre- cedented popularity and become as great man in politics as Brigham Young in religion, Tue Russians’ Oppourcnrrx IN OxNTrat, Asta,—From Central Asia we learn that tho Khivan population is demoralized, even to anarchy.

Will a Scandina- vian question loom up? Dramatic Affairs. Mr. Boucicault will reappear this evening at Wallack’s in a new pioce—of course of his own composition. This gifted descendant of the kings of France comes before us with knightly ostentation, wearing his honors like a crest, and reciting in his advertisements a small number of the plays he has already con- tributed to our literature—fifty out of about fourhundred. Mr, Boucicault proves himself to be a more voluminous author than Shake- speare, and we all know he is a much greater actor, Shakespeare, as tradition goes, never arose above the ghost in ‘‘Hamlet,'’ while his modern representative always goes on the stage asa star. Mr. Boucicault will be gladly welcomed. He is an old friend, of whom we never tire. Ho has the good fortune to have a Wallack stage for his drama and a Wallack audience for his hearers, This, indeed, is high honor. Mr. Wallack weara the blue ribbon of dramatic management, and his theatre has become as much of an institu. tion of the city as the Central Park or Me- thuselah Havemeyer. The genius of the Wallack family seems to have descended from the father, who is one of the memories of the stage, to the son, who is one of its ornaments. Another noted event in dramatic circles is the début of Miss Kate Field at Booth’s The- atre this evening. Miss Field is one of the most accomplished, successful and worthy of our lady writers, She is a lady of high character and talent, and accepts the dramatic profes- sion because she finds gifts leading her in that direction, and because she is animated by a noble ambition to aid in the elevation of the drama. If the management of Booth’s will do as well by this star that rises as they did by Miss Cushman, the star which has set— at least in New York latitude—it will con: tribute largely to her success. Amenrcan Tovrmsts 1m Mextco,—The special correspondence from Mexico City, under date of the 20th ult., which ap- pears in the Hzratp to-day, will attract the attention of the public.
