Both classes of ti ana motions ooma within the pur? view and control of the Secretary ' of the Treasury." -A Washington lotter of Friday says: "Af? fairs here t??9sy have been in an anomalous Condition, the elements that are to lorm the jaew administration not having settled into definite shape. At the White House especially matters were \n an unsettled condition. The President arrived shortly after niue o'clock, and entered the room formerly occupied by Mr. Johnson as his office. He then sont ? com jraunioatiou to army headquarters inviting all ,?he: membors of his personal staff to the ?White House, and when they reported, in obe .djenoe. to the summons, bo requested them '4o assist him until a permanent assignment %! secretaries abai! be mode. The officers on duty at tho White House to-day were Generals Rawlins, Radeau, Por tor, Babcock and Dent. ?N?ne were admitted to the White House bat 'Senators, representatives, prominent officers ot the army, and members of the prcas. Mrs. Grant visited the Executive mansion thia morning and inspected every room, nook and .corner, from the roof to the basemen ti*" No changea bave yet been made among tho at? tendants of the household. Those who served ...here during Mr. Johnson's term, and some of thom in Mr. Lincoln's are still on duty. The premises are now under the charge of the Secretary of War, and are guarded by Colonel j MeSaever and his company of the 16th in *?try. r -The refugees from Cuba, now in New York city, assert that ? real reign of terror prevails ? in Havana and the neighboring part? of Cub*. ; It is stated thal murders of nativa Cubans ar* . cf daily occurrence, and that, fearing assassi? nation or imprisonment, no nan dare avow - sentiments of sympathy with th? inaurreot ion w ieta. To be a native of ?he island is a orla* ' under the military dictum of th? troops, and th? slightest suspicion that any person favors the rebellion is sufficient ground for visiting summary punishment upon him. This being the state or affaire, many prominent natives have found it impossible to remain on the island, and refugees are constantly leaving the island for the United States. TheBe refugees think the revolution will be successful, basing their opinion upon the ground that the sum? mer weather will prove so fatal to the govern? ment regular troops that Spain will feel obliged to abandon the enterprise, and that the volun? teers who have enlisted in the ranks of the government army are nearly all meiceoaries, who will go over to the winning side. "CHARL EST ONT MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 8, 1869. The Kbb of the Tide. Now that President Grant is fairly inau? gurated there should soon bo some slacken? ing of the painful and eren servile atten? tion which has for months been paid to his ?very wink and smile. Sinoe his nomina? tion as President, General Grant has been blindly worshipped. The eyes of millions have watched each twist and turn, and not a syllable has fallen from the lips of this common-place domi-god but has been pon? dered and discussed as though it were in very truth big with the fate of nations. In the South this malady has taken a very mild form. Here, at least, it is recognised that General Grant is not the United States, and that he does not represent the states? manship, the intelligence or the politioal "ability of the country. President Grant is ?an aooident" far more than Mr. Johnson ever was; and we know of nothing in his oareer as a publia man, beginning with his treachery towards President Johnson and his coquetting with truth for the sake of politioal preferment, which entitles him to be regarded as the patriot who will oheck the usurpations of Congress and guide his whole public life by the landmarks of the constitution. There is nothing but twaddle in his inaugural address. There is nothing in the complexion of his Cabinet which should give confidence to the South. The ministers,-Washburne, Hoar, "trooly loil" Creswell and the rest,-may not make Pres? ident Grant more arrogant than ho*would be without them; neither will they oause the President to use his infiuenoe on the side of a liberal Southern policy. We believe that President Grant is now at the height of his popularity. Soon will ho drop from the zenith like a falling star. The o??oe seeker, the politician, the farmer and the meohanio will band together against him; for whatever of renown he may gain by his efforts to make the government hon? est he will lose by his dictatorial temper and the absence of any settled polioy be? yond the determination to carry out such orders as Congress may chanco to give him. What, indeed, can be ezpeoted of a man whose whole bode of constitutional right ia found in the articles of war? We wanted a statesman, and fate gave us a soldier. The South,-while the trouble is brewing, as brew it will,-must watoh end be silent; bearing it always in mind that we have nothing to ezpeat from General Grant, or any other Republican President, save what may be forced from the weakness or neces? sities of the North by the strength and re ... ~r 41.. a-?w. Claurieston and t rie north Carolina Rail? roads. Our contemporary, the Wilmington Jour? nal, publishes a leading artiole in reply to an artiole of THE NEWS, founded upon the complaint made by the Superintendent of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad in his annual report, that his receipts for the year would have been considerably larger "but ?for the want of harmonious co-operation "on the part of the management of the "South Carolina Railroad Company and "consequent impcrfeot connection with Co? lumbia, 8. C., and Augusta, Ga." The Journal contends that freight "must be car 4'ried through South Carolina without pass? ing through Charleston," takes occasion to condemn "local jealousies and interests "engendered by an illiberal spirit on the ; "part of lines of transportation," end says that the illiberality of the South Carolina Railroad is regarded as "Injurions to the "planters of South Carolina and Georgia "and to the stockholders" of the South Carolina Railroad. . The comments of the Journal aro plausi? ble enough; but, according to our in? formation, they grow out of a misappre? hension both of the pelioy of the South Carolina Railroad and of its duties towards ita stockholders and the publie. It is an obvious truth that it it to the in? terest of the South Carolina Railroad Com? pany to manage their road in euoh a man? ner at ia give the greatest benefit Iq their stockholders; and it it equally their duty to operate their rood, os far at it may be bo done, in the interests of the State of South Carolina, rather than in the interest of North Carolina or Vitginio. Now, if the South Carolina Railroad'?empany agree to allow the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad to ?arry freight at ordinary through rates over their road, this freight paying only for the number of miles of road over* which it passes, they by so doing out off. their stock? holders from the benefit arising, under other circumstances, from the use of the greater part of their line. In other words, freight coming via Wilmington to Columbia wohld pay the South Carolina Railroad for 25 miles, from Ringville to Columbia, while freight ooming in via Charleston would pay the South Carolina Railroad for 190 miles,' from Charleston to Columbia,' It thit rea? sonable, or is it just? We do not hesitate to tay that the management of the South Carolina Railroad are justifying the confi? dence whioh their stockholders repose in them by irfftf^aa much of their own line at possible, and by refusing to make Ring? ville instead of Charleston the terminus of their road. Nor does thit policy in? terfere with the pnblio interest; fer the South Carolina Railroad will always narry freight at cheaply and at quickly at lt ota h? carried by any. other route. And indeed, what the Journal seems to ex? pect lt that tho South Carallna Railroad theil give up the busiuess wi?ioh ? hat spent hundreds of thousands of dollar? to obtain? 1 and fer which Unes of steamships have hoon built, only in order that it might carry freight over twenty five miles of its road, and iu the interest of what is under the circumstances, neither more nor less than a competing line. The Journal also says, that on aooount of the want of co-operation already referred to, General Mahone is delivering goods in Atlanta from Norfolk, by way of Lynchburg, chen por than it is done by the way of Wil? mington. We say, in reply, that thia statement is more fanciful than real. General Mahone has a tariff of oharges to and from Atlanta, but he does no business at that point, save, perhaps, when on acoount of the press of business it is impossible to ship freight by the natural channels. So little, indeed, has been done by General Mahone at Atlanta, that he is not even regarded as a competi? tor at that point. In as friendly a tone as that of our con? temporary, we would allude to what be ls pleased to style an "illiberal spirit" on the part of the South Carolina Railroad Com? pany, in refusing the unbusiness-like pro? posals of the Weldon Road. The natural route for the transportation of produce is on the shortest line to the sea, where the home market should be found. The usual currents cf merchandise to the consumers of the interior should flow baok over the same lines from this common market. Such was the ocurso in the good times past, but sinoe the war there has boen a mania for sending produoe to distant markets, even in miniature lots, and oountry traders have likewise preferred a lengthy journey to the North, at large expense, for their stocks of goods. The breaking up by the war of the short lines of railroads to the sea and to home markets, and the faoility of transit over long lines to distant markets, gave thia feeling an impetus, and the roads thus benefitted a taste of income from this un? expected source, whioh now they would perpetuate. It is an unnatural course of trade and must fail of permanent success and aa it is the tr ne policy of Savannah to uso her splendid lines of road in her own interest, and of Wilmington to push her Western North Carolina connection for her own benefit, just as she now works the Manoheater road, to the very heart of South Carolina, and with almost positivo prohibitions against Charleston; so the South Carolina Road must seek ita success in building up home marketa on its main lines and at ita principal terminal pointB, Charleston, Augusta, Columbia and Camden, with which marketa, developed by time to be cities ef population, oentrea of capital and trade, its future ia too entirely identi? fied to be lost sight of, under the glittering generalities of temporarily inviting but unsubstantial proposals of business. We have endeavored to make olear our position in regard to the complaints of the North Carolina railroacj, and hope that the Journal will be convinced in time that we are not altogether blinded by local jealou? sies, but are as anxious a8 the Journal oan be that the whole of the Southern people should work together for the benefit and advancement of the South. Tan OLD ACT of Congress under whioh Mr. A. T. Stewart ia ineligible, provides that the Secretary of the Treasury shall not ?"??.? In trade or commerce ander pain of a fine, removal from oflioe, and perpetual disqualification from holding offioo under the United States. Congress may make the not inoperative in the special o ase of Mr. Stewart, but the law ia a wise one, and we see no reason why it should be set aside. There are scores of men In the country who are aa upright as the "Dry Gooda Prince" and who are far better qualified to direet our financial system. THU TBLEQBACH informs UB that Presi? dent Grant, Mr*. Grant and one of the little Granta, on yesterday visited one of the Methodist ohurohea in Washington, during divine service, and finding no apeolal prepa? ration made for him, quitted the edifice in high dudgeon. This was contemptible and snobbish enough, but not worse than the dis? gusting obsequiousness of the minister who, from th? pulpit, apoliglsed for the short? coming, and promised that a space should be reserved in future. Wa pniHT this morning an article from the Edgeneld Advertiser upon the Congres? sional Port Royal Railroad bill. The bill may not be heard of again; but wo shall watch for it. In the meanwhile, we hope that the bill to build the road nt the expense of the State will be knocked on the head in the State Senate. THE READK? ia requeated to make th? fol? lowing corrections in the article published in THE DAILY NEWS on Saturday, headed .?The National Banks," and signed J.
