At Chicago, when Hon. Thw. Sattie4 was put io nomination by Hon. James II. Uarriss for the .Vice-Presidency, it Was . generally understood : that , the a ralhern delegations would vote for bin, with a very large following from the north, and bis chances were ex ceedingly good . Notwithstanding that fact, the friends of General Arthur from. this state had Judge Settle'' name withdrawn in faror of. Chester A. Ar thur, of New York. , lie was nominated I and elected Vice-President, and now is the Chief ' Executir , of the j United States, And the friends -of lion, Thos. Settle all orer the south would 'con sider his appointment to a position in the Cabinet aa a just recognition of his greatabitity aad popularity., No ap point mest from the south ; would giro so general satisfaction as that of Tom Settle, and no man would adorn the position, with more grace and dignity and greater 1 satisfaction r 16 President Arthur and the country. To ihc Editfr of The Republican: In the speculations among politicians and ti e press aa to changes likely to be made bjr President Arthur in his Cab inet there are, and will be, various opinions among the leaders of public thought ' It seems to be conceded that among the present Cabinet not more than two will remain. There are not only a number of precedents for the change, but it is the right of an in coming President to make such changes, not in a spirit of proscription, but with the patriotic object of securing as his adviser gentlemen who are likely to be iq baimopy with his own views on public matters of state.- If the south is to bare recognition in the, Cabinet let it be a representatire man of that section, and a Stalwart Republican. THE rRESEKT SECBETABT OF THE NAVY is not a fair representative of the Re publics nr' party of that section of the Union. He is but Utile known as a prbinineht public man in the south, and has no national reputation as a leader or promoter of the party to wnicn ne Deiongs. Judge Thomas bet tie, oi Florida, formerly of North Car olina, is a gentleman widely (known throughout the country as a man of a high order of talent and great influence among the southern people. He is a true Republican, has been Speaker of both branches ot his state legislature, Judge of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, was Minister to Per j Presi dent of the Philadelphia Republican Convention which gave General Grant a second nomination, and was appointed by General Grant .V;.- .;,'.'

UI3 TEST AGAINST VASCE THE CHI CAGO cosvektkhtJ f I I A subscriber for tbis journal 'who read the communication io yesterday's paper which urges Jqdge Settle for a position. in the Cabinet says that com munication did not give all the points in favor of the Judge. -He says Settle ran for Governor In North Carolina, Vance (cow United States Senator) be ing his competitor. Such was' the strength and popularity of the Judge that he. developed ' a larger vote than was ever cast in uat state oeiore or since. Just -before or at the time be waa appointed to bis present position President Grant was seriously consid ering the appointment of Judge Settle to a position in the Cabinet; and in the Chicaro Republican Convention Mr. battle was the favorite among the Great delegates rqr the nomination for Vice- President.

MR. llfcBfitT BAUOfi HEARD--Since'writiog the editorial concern lngMr. Henry Bacon on the inside, we paye received the CQmmnnication below, which should be read carefully. Mr. Bacon is entitled to a lair hearing, and so far as we are concerned be shall bare it. .He denies many oi the char ges made agfinst, him; soffis of them he has taken no notice ot Now the proper thing for Colonel Craighill, Mr. Bacon's Chief, to do,, is to have the matter thoroughly investigated. It is due Mr. Bacon, as well as the general public, tiat it should be done, and we take pleasure in advising Mr. B. to insist on an investigation, which we under stand the parties who have been talk ing and writing the matter up also de sire.

But inasmuch sb my silence, under present circum stanoes, might be misconstrued; I will say that the work under my care is un der the control of the War Department, and I am responsible- to the Depart ment, though Lieut. Col. Craighill, Corps oi Engineers, U. S.

T. Har per's store or business, or in the steamer Passport; and have never had any su pervision of Harper's mercantile busi ness. - ; , .. ; The Passport has been allowed the use of the government wharf for a long time before it was in my charge full compensation being made in service for the government Other boats hav not been' excluded by me. ' . v ! jNo preferences have been made as to where employees, do their trading, and in many cases it has been beyond my knowledge until this morning. I have mad inquiries and find that of the 4j employees o this month, more than half do not trade with 'J. T. Harper, though it is well known that (exclud ing liquors) he sells more goods than all the merchants of Smithville, No one has teen refused employment or discharged for not trading with J. T. Harper. ': :- ' . .'. My. practice has always been to put each employees money in a sealed en velope and hand it directly to him. In ajvery few cases when the employee was not present to receive the money, the envelopes have been left at Har pei's store ior them, and have always been given with the seal unbroken; to the owner, whether they were indebted to Harper or not. 1 f - jln case of leave' of absence beyond a:few dajs the facta are reported and the question of deduction of sal try is submitted to the decision of Colonel Cjraighil.
