Abbott's Mntl SATURDAY EVENING, MAROH 0. prit off, and made matters sure by "jerking tho rope violently." Even then the man struggled five minutes. This edifying speotaole was witnessed by 4,000 or 5,000 people. The Tribune moralist again attacks the ballet dancers. There is reason to fear if tho blonde beauties of burlesque remain in Now York mnoh longer tho moralist will become a raving maniac Already he has grown reckless in his Log essays, For example, to day he says that the ladies of the light limbs are "orooked legged, scrawny and grinning," "bobbing about most uncertainly, "with "hop and shamble," and that when he, the mor alist, goes to.

tho theatre he finds that "tho abbreviated habiliments" disclose nothing worth seeing twice, and he goes out "without oalling for a oheok." Now if this be so, how can tho bal let be seductivo by "superb and ravishing loveli ness," and therefore dangerous The moralist proves too much. The Leg drama no doubt will soon have had its day. Probably it would not have held the stage so long but for the prurient ar ticles of the Tribune and tho "religious" papers, and the scarcely leas prurient sermons of sen sational preachers, which have served only to stimulate the bad passions of those who go and those who do not go to tho theatre. The English and French newspapers are satis fied with Grant's hint that if foreign nations treat the United States unfairly they must expoct the same sort of treatment in return, and accept the Inaugural as a guarantee of peace. The theatrical meaning of "utility" is settled so far as the judgment of a Now York Justioe can determine the definition.

M. B. Pike and Melissa his wife sued one Lingard for salary, said Lingard having discharged them because the lady refused "business" which she regarded as professionally beneath her. Melissa was engaged for "utility and better," and Judge Smith decides against her, for, says his Honor, utility means and requiros that the actor or actress shall do and perform in all characters required by the manager and which are not menial or degrad ing." His Honor holds that it is neither menial nor degrading to lead in the exclamations and chorus" of an operetta! This is an important decision. Hereafter let no actor or aotress vainly imagine that he or she can avoid "exclamations' or dodge "chorus" because he or she is "utility and better." Thore was current in Paris yesterday a rumor of the death of the Pope.

It was not boliovod and found no subsequent confirmation, although tho advanced ago of His Holiness makoB such an event probable at any timo. Tho Cuban Government is about sending 315 political prisoners to Fernando Po, and advertises for proposals for their transportation to that penal station. Some of them belong to the first families," and tho dispatch says their friends and relatiyes feel sorry. This emotion al situation might havo been assumed in tho ab senco of a telegraphic suggestion. Ono hundred refugees arrived at Baltimore tho other day.

Thoro has been a battlo between the Spanish troops and the insurgents near Santo Espiritu and as tho Havana Piario does not claim a victory the robol sympathizers are enaouraged to be lieve their frionds were successful. The revolutionists occupy tho roads near Cienf negos and PalmilloB, and aro gaining strength in tho neigh borhood of Kemedios. Peoplo who know little or nothing of the mys terious region "behind the scones" are not awaro that there is an aristocraoy of the 3tage and that its lines are very clearly drawn. One Mclntyre sued one Lingard for 49 60 salary and got judg ment. It seems tho plaintiff was discharged by the dofondant for "addressing him in his private drossing room." This spirit of caste among tho mimes is amusing, i amiliarity before the footlights by no means implies familiarity in the greenroom.

Tho jolly companion of the play, Smith, Brown, Jones, or Robinson, may bo ignored by the famous actor when "walking down Broadway." Borneo shuts tho door of his drossing room in the face of tho Apothecary, albeit that wretched drug vonder makes himself useful to the hero lator in tho evening, Benedick gives CHaudio tho cut direct, and Hamkl malioa Horatio keep his distance. Pcrsonul. Begcheb. Mr. Beecher is now understood to poBitivoly deny tho statement that be hud roeoivod an imitation to assume tho pastorate of a church in Montreal.

Iu justice to Montreal wo promptly public tlio denial. Batter. Dr. Louis Bauer of this city, has been lecturing before the Academy of Medioiuo at Cincinnati, with great acceptance la this city the Long Island College Hospital lectures are all delivered by men from abroad. Perhaps this is right, hut Brooklyn ought to be enough of a city to contain within horaolf tho professional ominonco requisite for the roBtrum, and men of Brooklyn whose reputation attacts tho ad miration of their professional brethron of other cities, aro worthy of legal honor In their own locality.

Maodox. Mr. Samuel T. Maddox has been confirmed by tho Senato, on tho nomination of frost dent Johnson, mado some months ago, as Assessor of tbo Third District, vloe Mr. Wellwood removed.

This last official act of Senator Morgan was a deserved trib ute to ono of the ablest and most devoted of his ad herents in our local politics. Mr. Maddox was long prominent in the Eastern District Firo Department, and was for many years pretty muoh tho ontirobody, as well as brains, of the Radical party, in the Fourteenth Ward; but his rise to a highor political spliero is only of recent years. During tho war ho flllod tho office of Provost Marshal, and subsequently was elected member of Assembly, from the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Wards. 'For this he was nominated again last Fall, but tho Fontonites foartd ho would count moro than an average ono in favor of Sonator Morgan's re nomination, should ho be elected to tbo Assembly, and henco tbey ran a stump against him, and gave tho district to tho Democrats, ratber than let him go to Albany.

Senator Morgan consoled him for tho defeat by obtaining his nomination for Assosssor, and before going out of tho Senate induced his confirmation, so lhat now, uudor the Tonurc of Ofllco Sam like his friends Dutcher and Tony Cimpbell, iB eafo from Fontou's vengeance, and pretty safo to hold for the holo of Grant's torm. Tbo Fontonites aro roportod to have a slate made up, with Alderman Tborno for Postmaster and Joe Itoevo for tho Asfiessorehip but tho confirmation of Mr. Muddox by tbo Senato hIidws that the outgoing Morgau still has moro iulluvmce among ik licdioal brethren of tho Senate than the incoming n. As for tho Post Offioo, it will bo remembered that Campbell was the Prosident of the original Grant club, and was committed to the fortunes of Grant long before the Radicals gavo him tho nomination. Tiro probabilities are therefore, that tho Fontonites of Kings County, though they have the Senator, will not bo ablo turn out tho local Morganito officeholders.

Dutoheb. The Sun takes the same view wo expressed yostorday in regard (o tho attack of tho Now York Times on tho Supervisor of Internal Rovo nuo for Ibis district, Tho Times recurs to tho subject, but only for tho sake of making not a moro rotraolion but an apology moro abject than oven its groundless ohargo called for, to Mr. Dutcher. It alludes to its long and prominent editorial artlclo of yesterday as a paragraph that appearod through inadvortoneo." It now praises Mr. Dutcher evon moro strongly than it yesterday condemned him.

It says: 1Mb. we boiiove. true, that in both those counties (Kings and Now York) there is not now a single distillery in oporation: but it is because ho compels thorn to pav the tax rather than from any complaints or threats of black mailers. We heartily approve the courso he has taken, believing it to bo thoroughly in public interest ana conauoive to tuo puouo good, it is not very important that whisky should bo distilled in largo quantities, either in Now York and Brooklyn: but it is important that for every gallon that is distilled the tax imposed by law should bo paid. This rcqniremeni Mr.

Dutoher has onforoed aud if undersuch a rule the 'distillers choose to abant don tho business, very woll. That is their affair, no his. Distillers neod have no foar of black mailers if tbey aro doing an honest businoss. We trust supervisor uutcher will go on in tne earnest, crorous and laithful discharge of his duty, and that ho will meet tbo same success hereafter as ho has mot hitherto. And we only regret that anything should have appeared in our columns to render necessary this repetition 41 tbo faith wo have more than once expressed in bis official fidelity and efficiency.

Wo regret not only tho imputation on Mr. Dutohor, but for tho Bake of journalism, the ignoble attitudo In' which the Times has thus plaood itself. It has been tho thick and thin eulogist of tho Montague street Court, and has cbamplonod that institution most unrosorvodly whon its doings most deserved criticism. In socking for the glorification of Its clionts to trample on Mr. Dutcher, it has happened on tho wrong enstomor, and bQtn forced to pon, in bare justice to a grossly maligned officer, an apology more abjeot than wo ever romembcr to have soon in the press, excepting that of Mr.

Chit tenden's fools when they found that It was tholr own stockholders whom thoy had censured, in denounolng those of the Park Commisssoners who voted for tho exclusion of the press from tho Commissioners' meetings. Cqubtney. The Washington despatches tell us that District Attornoy Tracy is after tho place of Mr. Courtnoy, the Distriot Attornoy of New York, and is likely to got it. Wo do not think tho removal of Courtnoy would be any great loss to the revenue.

He got the placoby athoatrical sensation, old Dan. Diokin eon's deathbed request. Other dying patriots have breathed in their expiring moments a last word of lovo for their country but tho last gasp of Scripturo Dick's ofUco Beoking Boul was a prayer to the Presidential dispenser of loaves and fishes for tho retention of his son in law Courtney In that office from which death was romoving himself. Equally sonsational was tho way in which Mr. Courtney obtained office, is an incidont whioh cemoB in the nick of timo to dotor the Prosident from his removal.

Tho morning papers publish a statement that a noofesslonal orlralnal named "Philadelphia Jack" has "poached" upon Blaledoll and Eekol, tho recently convictod whisky swindlers, and says that they offered him money If ho would waylay and murder District Attorney Courtney. Of oourse tho word of tho convictod whisky distillors is not to be believed, if they deny this highly probable story. Of course Mr. Courtnoy must bo tho very pink of official vigilance sud fidelity, or these whisky men would not seok to have him murdered. Happily for honosty and tho Revenue tho dovices of tho wicked may bo brought to naught, and tho plot for Courtnoy murdor bo brought to President Grant's observation, and lead him to rotaln in of flo a Distriot Attorney whoso zoal for the Revonuo has almost led to tho sacrifice of his precious life.

Wo scarce know which towondorat most tho dlabolloal wickedness of the conspirators, or tho wisdom of Providence in overruling this intended evil for the probable benefit and retention in office of the intended victim. Tho ways of Provjdenoo, of criminals and of intriguants for office are ahko mysterious, and sometimes bard to distinguish from each other. Iascrnnai G. W. Ouetis.

The regular meeting of this Society will be held on Tuesday next at the Packer Institute, when a papor will be read by E.

Hepplo Hall, of New York, on "Interior Chia." of of a tho as in to all on In is the only really free tribunal for pnblio dis enssion in this country. In a few years there has been a remarkable change in public feeling, and in one respect at least it must bo admitted to be for the better. Ten years ago Mr. Phillips was unable to proouro a hall in this city in whioh he might address his fellow citizens. Even Plymouth Church was closed against him, and it waB left to the' Eagle then to olaim for him the freedom of speech wnicn a lew years later was denied to itself.

In the audience whioh listened to Mr. Phillips last evening, there were not probably fifty persons who aareod with him in the political opinions he thought proper to enforce as being germane to his subject. He was heard with respectful atten tion, and at the close of his discourse we will venture to say there were very nearly thousand people who went away from the Academy of Music, probably aone the less opposed to Mr. Phillip's theory than they were whon they entered it, but with an infinitely more favorable impression of the man than they ever believed they could be induced to entertain. All this is as it should be.

Our system of government is a failure and a sham if Jefferson's axiom is fallacious, that the promulgation of error is safe while there is reason left free to oombat it, Mr, Phillips now takes rank with success ful agitators. His theories have been carried out. They were urged in the name of liberty, xne result is beiore the world, it is seen the decreasing numbers of one race, and in the untimely graves of a quarter of a million of men of another. If men were constituted as they might have been, and not as they are, Mr. Phillips would have been a safe advi sor.

He stands forward now in an advanced position an advocate of the amalgamation of the races tho negro, tho Indian and the Asi atic. Mr. Phillips can turn to the Republics South of ub, and claim that his views have pre vailed there, but if he can point out any ad vantage that can be gained by levelling down, he will be able to accomplish more than we can.

The necessity of avotopower over the votes of the Board of of some mode of chocking the perfect looseness with which that body is adamg to the publio burdens, be comes weekly more obvious. They meet every week or two, and without debate or op parent concern, vote away tens of thousands of dollars in lumps, in any direction indi cated by a report of any one of their Com mittees. On Wednesday they sat for only a few minutes, and added half a quarter of a million to tho county expenses. A mania for building, for expending money ironwork and mason ry, seems to have seized them. Each Com mittee seems restless until it gets a new building, or an extension of an old building, under its charge; and then the Board readily consonts to the expenditure of a sum total, which tho Committee proceed to in cur in perfect irresponsibility.

We hear nothing of any contracts, except occasionally of such an error ns that by which the Ar mory was made by the Committee to cost for one branch of the work ten thousand dollars more than the public knew of or the Board had sanctioned. Nothing is known, when vast piles of building are going up at the county expense, except that two or three worthy gen tlemen of the Board of Supervisors "have tho matter in charge." The Board reposes gen uine and childlike faith in its Committees. There seems to be a general understanding 1 You mind your own little job, and don't in terfere with mine, and I won too closely scrutinize yours." Either the County business must be done an a different system from this, or the offioo of Supervisor must be rated higher in polities, and men elected to it on the general County ticket, or else the expenses of the county Government will double year by year. If any three men are to be uncheoked in the expen diture of twenty to sixty or a hundred thousand dollars, those three men must be of political standing somewhat higher than the Ward politicians who run for Supervisor. At the last meeting the votes passed, each in rapid succession ond with little or no discus sion, were for completing the new buildingB of the Penitentiary; $30,000 for additions to the Lunatic Asylum, and $25,000 for ventilating the old part of the Asylum; besides which they ask the Legislature to enable them to build new Workhouse at more.

Here is a total of $200,000. At this rate, as the Board holds noar fifty meetings a year, ten million dollars may bo absorbed by the passion of the Supervisors' Committees for indulging their architectural tastes. The taxpayers do not object to money being spent, or even to its being spent in large sums. But they are entitled to be satisfied of the necessity and usefulness of the expenditures. Former Boards of Supervisors used to meet again and gain, and thoroughly examine and discuss tho scheme, before they authorized a new building, or an alteration, costing scores of thousands of dollars.

But under the present Board it is only necessary for a committee to ask and have. The Common Council the membership of which, either in a personal or political point of view, is not inferior to the Supervisors have no such power. They cannot spend $100 without full discussion, publicity of advertisement and com petition, and manifold checks, including tho Mayor's veto power. We admonish political leaders, that for the sake of the party as woll as of tho tax payers, it is essential that some of the checks, of which there are a superabundance in the city government, shall be imposed on the county government also. The ventilation of the Lunatic Asylum at 20,000 is not half so much needed as ventila tion of the enormous expenditures which tho Board of Supervisors is incurring.

TOPICS OF TO.D.IV. The first businoss before tho Senate yostorday was tho swearing in of Brownlow. The Parson is an invalid and was obligod to take tho oath in his seat instead of going to tho President's desk. No lees than throe bills rolativo to the Tonure of Offico law were introduced. Thayer's unconditionally repeals, Edmunds' Williams' suspends until tho 4th of March, 1873.

The Indian question came up twice on a motion that Indian treaties be considered in open session.and on a motion to refer all Indian matters to a Joint Committee. Sumner tried again unsuccessfully to give. Mrs. Lincoln a pension, and introduced a bill to enforce negro suffrage, Sumner apparently does not agree with Grant in accepting the Fifteenth Amendment as a settlement. Two messages were recoivod from tho President ono appointing Cabinet officers, as reported yostorday, and the other nominating Sherman as General, Sheridan as Lioutenant Qeneral, Sehofleld as Major General, and Augur as Brigadier General.

They were all confirmed in Exocutive Session.into which the Senate went, to the annoyance of people in tho galleries, who were compelled to go outeido and wait for the news. Washburne mado probably his last motion in the House. It was for tho appointment of a Committee on Rules, Tho early part of the session was occupied in swearing members and referring contested seats. Whon the news of the Cabinet appointments was received there was so much excitement that the House sought relief in a briof recess. Afterward Woodward, indorsed the new Secretary of the Navy as a "conservative and respeptablo citizen." 'Tho Committee appointed for tho purpose loarnod from tho President that he had no message to communicate.

Mc Phorson was elected Clerk, Brooks doclining to act as tellor for him, Ordway, Sergoant at Arms, Burton, Doorkeopor, and King, Postmaster. Tho cleotion of Chaplain was postponed, and then tho members drow for. seats. Tho indomitable Lopez refuses to know that ha is beaten. Tho latest roport is that ho has reorganized ilia army and is fortifying in tho interior.

Nothing is said of MoMahon, but no doubt that dovotod friend is still with the President. In tho Houbo of Commons last night an inquiry was made about ocoan penny postage. The Postmaster General said that the contracts with the steamship companies would prevent any change at present.

This restored their equilibrium.

Unless Smytho retains the Collootorship of tho Port some other man will bo appointed. Thoro is every reason lo believe that Dutcher would accoptit; but whether Grant will tndor it to him or not, remains to be soon. I don't indulge in speculations. Geo. 14.

His last exploit was to fall down BtairB in trying to get out of the Capitol. Tho accident dovcloped in tho most touching man ner tho popular devotion to Presidont Grant. At first tho fact that an old gentleman had pitched himself down stairs excited no particular attention; but as soon as it became kuown who he was, tho most intenso intorost was foit in his oaso, and tho whole crowd rushed off to assist him. Twcnty uino Doctors who wore present voluuteored instant medical aid. Sixteen of them who were alio palbists drew their lancets and offorod to bleed him on the spot with tho greatost pleasure.

Wo met by cuanco in tho crowd, ond wo retired to Willards to comparo notes. The weather was quito foggy whon wo camo out, and the wind so high that it was difficult to walk straight. Still wo went to the ball, as wo had tloketa. The ball was miserably arranged. Thero wasn't room enough provided for tho pooplo.

Folks kept tumbling up against us. Tho lights wore bad, and so unsteady that things appeared to be going round all the timo. We thought we would have a dance, and finding a clear place about the width of a door mat we mado up set for a quadrille. By goiug through tho figures single fllo wo got along. Jukt as we got through tho fourth figuro, a gentlo mau stepped up and wanted to know how long before we would finish.

O'l'aUo wautod lo know if it was any of hU business if we danced all night. Tho party apologisod and said he did'nt mean to question our rights as American citizens, only our sot had formed on tho trail of a lady's dress and she wanted to go down to Buppor. Wo released tho lady at once and accepted hor opoloey for interrupting us. After that we oonoludod not to dauco any more, the room was too crowded. We wont down to supper, but everybody olso was thero ahead of us.

As wo were not in a hurry we took a tour round, and tried tho lemonade and other fluids sold in Washington to see how they compared with Brooklyn. By and by wo returned to tho suppor room. Tho crowd had gone. So had ovorything olso. Asked a waiter what ho had for supper.

Said he had uolhing loft but two sticks of aollery and plate oi orange peol. I said I didn't fool hungry. O'l'uke said ho didn't want any supper. Always thought it was bad to eat lato Buppcrs. So we wont homo.

Wo were very much crowdod for lodgings horo dur ing the rusb, and bad to put up with anything. 1 got quito comlortablo bed in tbo plate rack in tho kitchen. O'Pako bad to sleep on a knife board, supported by two cos 1 scuttles. Ho started for home yostorday. I am coming homo, tor.

It is no use staying hero. I told Grant I didn't want anything, and I begin to beliovo he won't offer mo anything for foar of hurting my feelings. Tho third Washington is of such an opou, manly and unsuspicious nature. Ho believes everything you toll him. It iB just my luck.

Yours anyhow, Connv O'Lmtos. P. S. Tho company of colored citizens who walked all the way from North Carolina to soo tho Presidont inaugurated, aro walking homo again. Nobody here offered to ongage them to walk a thou sand mileB in a thousand hours.

There is no onterprise in the show business hero. Mrs. O'Lanua didn't send those shirts, and I had to borrow ono of O'Pake. Being a member of tho Legislature, last Winter, he has a good supply. Shirts, I bclievo, come under tho head of stationery.

As every rock might be said to be the gravestone of some individual, bo each mountain stood a monument over nations buried beneath and around it.

A correspondent of the Ghurch Journal. writing of ecclesiastical affairs in Suffolk County, says Btvong as it should have been, and why? Simply bo cause many of tho clorgy who have officiated among tho people havo not understood them, and did not know how to got hold of them. Some havo thought to obtain popularity by adopting tho so called evangolical tone, oud wiping out tbe distinctive linos of tho Church, or, other words, by mixing up but aU suoh experiments havo proved signal the bost euo cesB has uniformly followed a rigid adhoronce to tho dcolrines and the liturgy of the Church. Among a peoplo as full of prejudices as aro tho peoplo of Long Island, not of Suffolk County alone, no clergyman can bo successful in his ministrations who doos not, or cannot, first secure and then retain reirard and rosnect for him self personally. Having dona so, he has laid the boat posBiDie lounuauun tor useiuiness, ana lor me nuiuiy spread and to bring home to tho hearts of the people matters concerning the doctrines and tbe liturgical form of worship of our OhuToh.

Wo took ocoasion to say yesterday that Gen, Grant's inaugural address was likely to give pretty general satisfaction. The same cannot bo said of his Cabinet appointments. Wo have no doubt but that the Tribune oorreetly ropresenta the feelings of us party in admit ting that "the announcement caused great 'dLwppointment at the Capital." In a party sonso, the Democrats have nothing to complain of, but as there attempt mado to conciliate them, their wishes maybe left altogether out of consideration. The Pres ident, so far as any purpose is made apparent in the selection of his advisers, appears to be desirous of froeing himself as for a's he can from the influence of politicians; but as this Government is, after all, administered by po litical parties, it is not easy to see how the new Administration can hope to. be successful without the earnest co operation of either party.

The Cabinet selections will chill the enthusiasm of his adherents, while they are likely to provoke the ridicule of those who opposed his election. From the experiences wo have had for the past four years the country is justified in be lioving that even an indifferent administration of the government under the control oi either political party is infinitely better than one for which neither party is responsible. Among tirant advisers there is not one who is con spicuously woll qualified to fill the position for which bo has been selected, and not ono, who, by virtuo of his political services, has secured a uationol reputation. The appointment of Mr. Wnshburne ns Secretary ot State is ao counted for by the fact that Grant in making it cancels in part great personal obligations There was no disposition on any sido to prevent Grant from gratifying with a Cabinet position the friend who stood by hiui when he needed friends, but in the wide range of Cabinet spec ulation we believe Mr.

washburno has never beeu designated for a position higher than that of Postmaster General or Secretary of the Interior. The office of Secretary of State has invariably been filled by the most conspicuous public man in the party on which the President relies for support it would be doing great injustice to the party now in power to assign Mr. Washbume to anything higher than a subordinate position its ranks. Ho may have qualifications which will enable him to fill acceptably the position occupied by Jefferson, Madison, Mon roe, Adams, Clay, Webster, Buchanan, Maroy, and Seward, but he has succeeded in keeping everybody but General Grant in ignorance of them, though he has spent the best years of bis life in a public position in which a man of eminent, or even conspicuous abilities, could not fail to have secured national attention. It is said that Mr.

Wushburno's appointment is intended to be merely complimentary. By declining it he will add to the obligation Grant is under to him, and which, it may be said to the lattors credit, he seems only too anxious to acknowledge. The appointment of Mr. A. T.

Stewart of New York to the Secretaryship of the Treasury at first sight seems to be commendable, riain people will be vory generally disposed to believe that a man who has been successful in managing a very extensive businoss of his own is eminently fitted to transaot public business in many respects of like character. There has been so much lack of mercantile taat and honesty in the conduct of the revenue service that Grant's desire to supply these qualities will be generally commended. Inordinary times Mr. Stewart would have conducted the office of Secretary of the Treasury with snccess, but so many great problems of finance ore now presented for consideration and settlement that it seemed as if the place demanded a man who had contributed something to the public information on these questions, and who had presented the public with some plan for meeting the dangers which all financiers admit to 'he impending. Mr, Stewart renlered himself conspicuous as an advocate of Grant's election.

He was among fho earliest and most munificent of Grant's supporters, and those facts will deprive his selection of the favor it would be likely to meet with if Grant could claim that he was influenced by no other consideration than a desire to secure the ablest of his supporters for, after all, the most important position under his administration. While Mr. Stewart continues in business he is ineligible for the position under a statute which seems to have escaped the President's attention. With the Custom IIouso Department Mr. Stowart's firm transacts more business than any other in the country.

Of course his continuance in trade is not possible, for it would be scaudalous to allow the tho firm of Stewart Co. to employ thoir own agonts and the Custom House employ who would have to deal with them as tho representatives of tho Government. Air. Stewart is reported to be worth thirty five million dollars and he is of course above the reach of pecuniary temptation. He is known in business as a close, grasping, hard fisted, enterprising man.

There is no merchant of anything like his wealth in New York to which its public institutions, sustained by private munificence, are so little indebted. He is a merchant prince only in the sense that he is as wealthy as a prince he has no elements of character which men designate os princely. The attractions of official position will hardly bo sufficient to induce Mr, Stewart to quit a sphere of action in which ho has been bo eminently successful, and it is by no moans unlikely that his appointment, like that of Mr. Washburne, is designed to be complimentary. The remaining appointments can hardly bo said to bo entitled to any extended considerations.

Mr. Borio, tho Secretary of the Navy, is a resident of Philadelphia and like Mr. Stewart a merchant. The considerations that recommended him to tho position are not even guessed at. He is a gentleman of sixty years of ago, of blameless private character, and has never taken an active part in public affairs, In the House yesterday Mr.

Woodward, (Dem.) of Pennsylvania, endorsed him by saying that "a more conservative or respectable citi "zen was not to be foimd in Pennsylvania." It is by no moans certain that this certificate of character will recommend him to the Radical element of the dominant party. The President seoms to havo taken his Secretary of tho Navy upon trust, and the country will be undor the necessity of imitating his example. Tho now Attorney General, Judge Hoar, of Massachusetts, has a local reputation as a jurist, and is presented as a fair representative of tho Radical sentiment of that conspicuously Radical State. Ex Governor Cox, of Ohio, who takes tho position of Secretary of the Interior, is a moderate Republican, and did his best to secure for the late President the support of his party, in'l 864. His letter in opposition to negro suffrage, written while he was Governor of Ohio, attracted considerable attention.

It is significant perhaps, that these considora tions failed to exclude him from Grant's favor. Mr. Croswell, of Maryland, who takes the place of Postmaster General, acted with the Democratic party up to the time tho Federal Government undertook to supervise the political affairs of his State. He went over as soon as it was profitable, and like most convorts he distinguished himself by his zeal against his foimor political associates. He represents nothing in tho now Cabinet save that political elemont in Maryland whose timely overthrow saved tho State from tho wretched fate to which Teunossoe was and is exposed.

Gen. Schoffeld's retention has no political significance, and it is understood to be temporary. Upon the whole the Cabinet is a woak one, and wo will not be surprised to hoar of its falling to pieces even before the new Administration fairly challenges tho attention of th'e country. Wendell Phillips at tlie Academy Mr. Wendell Phillips delivered his lecture on "Daniel O'Oonnell," at.

the Academy of Music, last evening. On tho fourth page of to day's Eagle we publish a very full report of this, all things considered, one of Mr. Phillips' most remarkable addresses. The subject of the leoturo and the object to whioh its profits are to be devoted naturally attracted an audienoe of a character different from what Mr. Phil.
