Y POLITICAL AND PERSONAL.
Washington, Nov. 12. Tee State JDe-.
partnunt is still without dispatches from
Miuisler Johnson, and until thev are re
ceived, Secretary Seward declines to say
what Kill be done about recalling the
American Minister. He feels deeply
chagrined at the course Johucon is pursu
ing, and does not conceal the fact that he
think the Unittd States is being repre
sented to Europeau Powers by Johnson's
action in n very unfavorable aspect. It is
said ibis afternoon that Gen. Grant yester
day, in conversation with friends, expref9ed
liis regret that Johnson had taken a eoime
which substantially affiliated him with the
bitterest enemies of the United State iu
England, and destroyed all the glory this
country has accrued in refusing to allow
the greatest of Enropein Powers to dictate
terms fur the Fetllcmeiit of just claims.
The repeated failure; that have attended
the efforts to get up charges against Com
micifin,iT 1'cllitis and Secretary Mc
CnllocL, strong e.iough to justify the
PreidSeit in suspending the first and re
moving the latter, discourage tlnwe who
had ltd the iciivi'ments so much that any
further attempts are iwt likely to be made.
The fiht eeems now to have centered upon
Disirirt Autornry Coiiriney" A very strong
pressure i. being brought upon the At

' Jndge Fullerton arrived here yesterday,
and at oru'.e mule direct charges against
District Attorney Ojurfney, Collectors

is going to implicate those officers with
schemes to defraud the government.

THE RADICAL REBELLION.
Gen. W. J. Suiitu with a Band
or Negroes Attacks Mason's
Depot. .
The Women and Children Flee
ing to the Conntry Tor
Safety.
Oa the evening of Monday the quiet
folks of Mason'a depot, on the Memphis
and Ohio railroad, were frightened -from
their propriety by a jtarllujgrnrabr that
General W.X, Smith, who, it is said, re
cently ran for Congress in the district and
was ignobly beaten by Mr. Leftwicb, i was
marching on the place with four hundred
colored followers, willi- Judge JWaldrou
and P. D. Beecher as aids, and that he in
tended to sack the town and put to the
sword all who had dared to vote against
him. The greatest consternation prevailed
among tho inhabitants, and no one could
tell when the terrible Smith and his blood
thirsty cohorts would make their appear
ance. To add to the excitement, a com
pany of the twenty-fifth United States Sc
an try, which had been doing duty during
tho election at Mason's, was ordered to
leave on the very morning that Smith was
expected to arrive.
A meeting of the citizens was promptly
called, Jand a resolution at once adopted to
telegraph to General Gordon Granger,
commanding the district, to allow the
troops to remain a few days longer, in or
der to confront Smith and his ordes. It
had been given out lhat he wa coming to
Mason's for the purpose of ascertaining the
reason why so many colored men voted
against him, and he had threatend to take
evidence on the subject, and punish "the
guilty," as he was pleased to call them.
Tho telegraph dispatch above mentioned
arrived too late at General Granger's head
quarters, in this city, for the order for the
movement of the troops to be counter
manded, and they came into Memphis by
train yesterday morning.
During theday asccocd telegram reached
Gen. Granger, to the effect that Smith and
his armed forces had captured Mason',
that all the women and children had been
transported to a place of safety, and im
ploring military aid. General Granger
promptly replied, asking for particulars,
but the telegraph wires had been cut, and
no answer could be received to hi message.
As matters had evidently a?3uaicd a seri
ous aapect, General Graagsr sent fifty
ncked men, under command of Lieuten
ants Maddei. and Kyle, out to Mason's de
pot last evening by special train, with per
emptory instructions to disirm all and
suncry, and that ll any resi;'. ir.ee wa' rl-
fered, to give battle', capture the lot, uec
eral" Smith and all, at.d bring tl-eia t .the

was dispatched to Si. Petersburg, and
asked the Emperor what wa to be done

Snccnlatlons as to General
Grant's Cabinet,
The General Reticent to nis
Party Leaders.
Correspondence of the New York Herald.
Washington, Not. 9, 18G8. This be
ing the first business day sinco the return
of tho President elect, it was supposed
by many persons that he would, hold a
public levee of some kind, and most of
them, thought it more than probable that
tho headquarters of the army would be
the place. Accordingly, tho rather mod
est looking mansion occupied as head
quarters of the General-in-Chief became
an object of interest to a number of
people who gathered there at an early
hour in the morning in tho hope of see
ing tho great little man arrive. A vigi
lant watch was kept by the curious for
the first glimpse of Grant's black horse
or the appearance of the buggy, which
modes of conveyance were most patron
ized by the General before he left Wash
ington. The General on this occasion,
however, did not adopt either of his
former methods of going to his office. He
sallied out from home on foot about nine
o'clock this morning, and walked leis
urely up Pennsylrania avenue, appa
rently unconscious that he was the ob
ject upon which all eyes were directed.
Jjuring the walk to his otlico ho was
met by several acquaintances, who mani
fested great pleasure at seeing him. A
moment or two was spent in mutual in-
quiriesafter health and general prosperity,
after which the General qnietly pursued
his way. When tho ueneral approached
his headquarters he was observed by
theso waiting for his arrival slow
ly walking through the White House
grounds with his hands in his p&ntoloons
pockets, puffing away at his cigar. He
went immediately into his office, where
he soon began to receive the multitude
of visitors who crowded in to congratu
late him. XTp to about one o'clock he
received the visits of friends, acquaint
ances and strangers ; then he took a re
cess for a short time and left the office,
going through the War Department, the
White House grounds and the ireasury
into Fifteenth street. While passing
through theTreasury the General stopped
at General Spinner's room and paid a
short visit to the "o'.d watch dog of
the Treasury." After an absence of about
three, quarters of an hour he. returned to
his office, where a number of callers had
again assembled, and tho formalities of
presentation and reception recommenced.
Among the distinguished persons who
visited General Grant to-day wero
speaker
Colfax, the Secretary of ar,
General Sehofield; Generals Canby,
Emory, Humphries, George H. Thomas
and Terry. Tho two last mentioned are
here to attend the Dyer Caurt of Inquiry.
Senator Morgan and many other promi
nent civilians also called upon him. Most
of those-who calleel Upon tho General in
troduced themselres by their card.
These visitors generally expressed a few
words of congratulation, lor which uen.
Grant briefly returned his thanks, after
which they took their leave and were
succeeded brothers. When a prominent
officer of tho government presented him
self he was promptly admitted, anu re.
tired after a few moments of cotrVorsa-
lion. At tho close of office hoars the
General departed from headuarters about
the same time that the clerks cf his
office left, and very much in the same
manner in a street, passenger car.
During the dar a committee from the
Republican organizations of this city
ailed upon tho General to learn his
pleasure in regard to a demonstration of
welcome, which it was at first intended
to hare on his arriral, but which was
postponed on account ol unforeseen
obstacles. The .General appointed an
hour for tho committee to call upon him
to- morrow, when he promised to advise
with them in regard to tho manner in
which the rejoicing shall be done.
OBANT AND HIS DESIGNS PROBABLE
coitPLBXios or nis caeixet.
At the present time tho mo3t inter
esting topic of conversation hereabouts is
tho probable composition of General
Grant's Cabinet On this subject there
are many claimants to the reputation of
being good cuthonlie?, ana proiouna or
acles are not wanting who can fortell tho
signs of tho times in this respect. They
all have their believers ; but the trutn
is that no other President elect since the
foundation of the g07crnment ever pre
served so rigid a silence in regard to hi3
future course in important State matters
as General Grant, and as a natural conse
quence the vast number of rumors now
floating around contain dui a very iew
well founded facts. It is unmistakably
clear that Grant is desirous of making
his Cabinet selections without consulting
party leaders, and of making them to
suit himself; consequently all thoso
who volunteer their advice in the mat
ter aro treated alike, from the dogmatic
political manager, who assumes to dic
tate to the numoie aspirant ior ircii
dential favor who ventures only to
throw out a suggestion. They are pa-
tiantlv listened to and graciously per
mitted to do all the talkinc. Thus all
such interviews terminate highly un
satisfactorily without a prgmise or eron
a hint that their counsel has taken suf
ficient root to bring forth frnit.
Tt ia an undoubted fact that uenoral
Grant has fully decided to hold himself
entirely aloof from party restraints ; for
lin fuels that in order to be free to act in
all emergencies for the best interests of
the country, ho must not be fettered by
party ties, lie eridentty leois mat, in
both his nomination and election, the
debt of gratitude is as heavy on one side
as it is on the other, ana no regards him
self as absolved from the necessity ot ac
centing at the hands of the Republican
party nominations to important ouice
and plans for jnational exigencies ready
w . .. - ..... I -n
made for him. The earnestness with
which the RflDublican leaders implored
him to bear the standard through tha
Presidential contest, tho consciousness
that the honor was unsought and even
repeatedly declined by him, and that
when at length he acceded to thoir urgent
request ho did so with tho unaerstanu
inn-that ho was to he independent in ac
tion and iust as free to follow the die
tates af his own iudsrment as when he
accepted, under the samo conditions, the
chief command of the nrmiesin tho field,
ustify his reticence on tho subject.
Gen Grant doe3 not keep his thoughts
and views hermetically sealed, as it were,
in his own mind. He ha3 intimato and
confidential friends who have been long
tried in prudence and good counsel, who
still share his confidence to a great ex
tent ; but these friends, knowing the im
portance that the General attaches to se
crecy concerning his futuro rations, are
almost as reticent and reserved as the
General. Nevertheless, although it is
next to impossible to obtain anything in
regard to tho formation of the next Cabi
net that may bo announced by authority,
there aro some slight intimations drop
ped by those who hare opportunities of
knowing, which, when taken in connec
tion with other known facts, form con clu-
uinnt; vrnrthv of mention. Certain of
these intimations lead to the belief t hat
both J. Lathrop Motley and Edtrin
M. Stanton have been spoken of by
Goneral Grant ss excellent men for tjie
office of Secretary of State ; that Admiral
CAN.
NEW SERIES NO. 68.
D. D. Porter is the likeliest man for
Secretary of tho Nary, and that Gen.
T. M. Schofield will most probably rej
tain the coptrol of the War Department.
These names aro based on something
better than inero conjecture ; but in re
lation to tho other Cabinet positions
nothing more reliable than current ru
mors can be found. One statement I can
mako with great confidence, which is
that tho Cabinet of General Grant is al
ready "cut and dried." The men hare
been determined upon, and the chances
lhat any alteration will be made in tho
list aro exceedingly small. Another
fact in relation to the future conduct of
tho President elect is that all such pro
fessors of political scienco and the art of
sharing out public offices as Wendell
Phillips, Ben. Butler, oa the one side,
and N. B. Forrest, Wade Hampton, C.
C. Vallandigham on the other, may as
well send their advice to the King of Da
homey as to General Grant. A word to
the wise is sufficient.
GKNEBAL OEANT'3 VIEWS OP THE EEPCn
LICAN FLATF0I11I.
A. statement mado last evening by a
gentleman in whom may be placed im
plicit reliance, and who enjoys excellent
opportunities-to-enable him to speak In
telligently on the subject, may give
some indication of General Grant's posi
tion in relation to tho Republican party.
Ho states that after the. General was
nominated he sat for quite a long time
carefully reading and pondering upon
tho platform adopted by the Convention ;
that ho finally expressed to his confiden
tial friends that he did not like it, and
wa3 in great doubt whether he would
accept tho nomination on that platform.
This coming to the ears of certain lead
ers of tho party they hastoned to call
upon the General, who stated to them
his objections to the platform. This in
telligence was received with no little j
consternation by his visitors, who feared i
that Grant entertained the intention of
declining the nomination. They at once
opened upon him with every conceivable
argument they could bring forward to
induce him to accept, one of which argu
ments was that tho platform need not be
regarded by him in so serious a light it
was simply an enunciation of the great
principles ot the party, necessary only to
mako up tho issues of the campaign.
They urged him to accept at all events,
and to say nothing more about tho plat
form. Many other arguments of a simi
lar character were used, it is said, which
gave Grant to understand that they
wanted him to accept the nomination, if
even it had to bo on a platform of his own
adoption.

It turns out that General Grant was
captured on Saturday evening last on his
arrival at the depot here by one of the
Butler family, the members of which
have a war of keeping accurately posted
in regard to Grant's morements. this
was not the Taliant Ben, howover, who
had the General in his power for a mat
ter of ten minutes on Saturday night, but
John Butler, Sam Ward's" coachman,
who, learning that the General was com
ing, and finding no carriage in waiting,
drove up tho railroad track and picked
him up. Grant offered him five dollars
for his trouble, which John refused, but
asrreed finally to accept two -dollars and
an odd quarter, which the General insis
ted he should take to invest in a cock.

Honored and Dear Sir: Pardoalhis letter
Pardon my irrepressible impatience to
write ifc I learn to-day that you are made
President of the United Slates ; and I can
not wait, even until to morrow, to say to
yoa what my while soul urges me to
to you. Before the election your exhorti
tiotfto your countrymen wa-, "Let us have
peace 1'' To this exhortation, as sublima
as it is concise, their reply, in the voice of
the e!e;tion, Is, also, "Let us have peacif
What yoa then asked of them, they now
ask of you. What you then called on them
ti do, they have now put in your power to
do, and now call on you to do. What,
however, is the peace which you asked for,
and which, in turn, you are asked for? Is
it of a superficial and evanescent charac
ter ? Or is it that deep and enduring pesce
whose foundations are in nothing short of
natnre and reawn, justice and religio'n?
The chief thing for which I took np my
pen was to remind you of the deep desire
of many hundred thousands, who voted for
you, tohaveyouradrainiatratioa eignalized
by ita cordial recognition of the equal
rights of all races ot men ; by its down
right and effective assertion that no man
loses rights by being borne in a skin of one
color instead of another; and by its faith
ful, warm-hearted and successful endeavors
to rid our country of this Iot and brutal
antagonism of races. What your adminu
tration ihcdl be in other respects is of compard'
titebj little consequents. Confident, however,
may all be that, if right in this most com
prehensive and vital respect, it will b
right In every other essential one.
Eatirely reasonable is the confidence lhat
your admlstration, if it maintains the
equal rights cf all our races of men, will
not fail of responding to all the essential
claims of justice. Of co wrong to the na
tion's creditors will it be guilty. For uni
versal suffrage it will be unyielding no:
merely because, as the right to life, liberty
and property is natural, so participation in
the choice of those, at whose offioial dis
posal these possessions so largely lie, must
also be a natural right; but because all
have seen that nothing short of the ballot
in the hands of those, who hs.7e recently
emerged from slavery, can sirs them from
being thrust back into it. The govern
ments which President Johnson set up in
the South recognized no political rights in
black men ; aad, straightway, these gov
ernments set to work to re-enslave them.
It matters not. as regards my argument,
that this new slavery was not literal chat
tel slavery. It had none of the allevia
tions incident to chattel slavery, and was.
on the whole, more oppressive ami cruel.
I saw, in your letter of August, 1363,
