FREDERIC ANDREW, Secretary.
No. 10. Poultry' London, E.C. September 1868.

(From tite Anglo-American Times.)
The, correspondent of the limes, iu his letter, re-
peats the name of GEORGE E. Roan as GRANT'Siake
Attorney-General, as telegraphed by him, a-ms
which has thus been made. It was not till three
o'clock p.m. m on the sth, the day on which the
correspondent wrote from Philadelphia, that the
names of the Cabinet Ministers transpired in Wash-
ington. The PRESIDENT despatched General
RAWLINS to the Capitol with the sealed packet
containing the appoietments. Ile reached the
Senate Chamber at one o'clock, where he had to
wait the return of the Committee appointed to in-
form the PRESIDENT that the assembly had orga-
nised. On their reporting the package was de-
livered, an Executive Session immediately com-
menced, when the Senators rushed to the Vice-
President's desk to hear theUatnes read. The re-
luctact throng which had assembled to get the
earliest information had to be driven from the gal-
leries, but ex-Senator CONNESS saw the list in the
hall before be retired. Wheu in the lobby, being
pressed by the reporters, he divulged, and scarcely
had the names passsd his lips when a rush took
place for the wires; for 230 yards, a spirited race en-
sued for the lead ; and it is not surprising, under the
circumstances, that the wrong Christian names of one
of two brothers should have reached Philadelphia.
The correspondent had evidently written his letter
before the Cabinet was announced, and he probably
at once telegraphe I the_ intelligence to Printing
house-square, and then sat down to incorporate it
in his letter; therefore this cannot be taken as a
confirmation of what is simply an error arising
from hurry. It is said that the PRESIDENT had
first offered the portfolio of the Treasury to
cnnect it. -The appointment of A. T. STEsyara..
who was ineligible under a law passed 1798,r—
-waspassed clearly a mistake. Being one of the largest im-
porters he could not with propriety be the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, as his interests must clash
with those of the United States, which be represented
in the office he then held, and Mr. SUMNER was right
in objecting to the_ abolition of a law whereby a
man might be placed in so false a position. Our
latest intelligence from Washington, which is up
to the Bth inst., shows that there was no chance
of GRANT'S Message, recommending the repeal of
the law, which barred STEWART'S acceptance of the
Treasury, being concurred in by Congress. In fact,
it instantly called forth a decisive opposition, and
GRANT was advised that be would have to with-
draw it if he desired to avoid at starting such
a check. He showed no signs of obstinacy,
and Mr. STEWART, after ample consultation, de-
cided to resign. His last idea was very peculiar.
He proposed, with the PRESIDENT'S sanction, to trans-
fer all his interests in, and profits of, his business
during his oflici d term to Mr. ASTOR, Mr. JAMES
BROWN, and Judge HILTON, as trustees, to be ex-
pended on the public charities of New York City ;
that is he desired to surrender in round numbers
between two and three millions sterling for the
pleasure of holding one of the mo t difficult posts
in the world. The balance of legal opinion was,
however, against him, and prospective profits cannot
be thus assigned, so he sent in au unconditional
resignation. Then the PRESIDENT was in the face
of another difficulty. Our English readers may
not comprehend State jealousies, or know that
it is a rule of the Washington Administration to
represent in the Executive all parts of the country..
To Mr. BOUTWELL the vacant portfolio had already
been offered, and to Mr. BOUTWELL GRANT again
turned. Then, on his acceptance, there would be
in the Cabinet two Ministers from Massachusetts,
so it was thought almost incumbent on Judge HOAR
to resign, although be had telegraphed that he
would arrive to take over the office on the 9th
inst. Extreme surprise was felt at Washington
when the names were known—two only, Mr.
WASIIBURNE and Mr. CRESWELL, being politicians
of national repute. Mr. Ftsn and Mr. BOUTWELL
have since been added, though Mr. WasunuttNE has
resigned. In England the following objection has
been taken to (taro ANT'S nominations, and no doubt
it was keenly felt in Washington. It is unfair
to mat who devote themselves to political life to
be deprived of its rewards. If any merchant,
lawyer, doctor, or soldier is equally eligible and
competent as a politician every inducement to the
latter to devote his time to what is really a profes-
sion will be lost, and men of energy and capacity
will cease to pursue it, arguing that they may
grasp all the benefits of auotber calling, while re-
taining an equal chance of the State prizes. GRANT'S
position, however, is peculiar. In the first place, he
is not a politician, in fact dislikes the class, into
whose hands have fallen so much power, and to
whom is due so much corruption. Perhaps the
most difficult task before the new PRESIDENT in his
own opinion is the correction of the abuses caused
by politicians, and the renovation of the Civil Ser-
vice ; and those who look closely into the Cabinet
will see that every Minister was distinctly chosen
not merely for his personal honesty but for his out-
spoken hatred and contempt of these abuses. Not
only did he choose men on whom he could rely to
back him up, but those, like himself, without a
following. hitherto a Cabinet has been a cluster
of Sovereigns, each having his owe subjects and de-
pendents, but the present Ministers are as un-
trammelled as GRANT himself. Another feature is
that the Ministers are his strong personal friends.
Every one of them is his own choice, and all will
obey his commands, not dictate his policy. For
the Executive Administration of the United States,
therefore, General GRANT is henceforth wholly re-
sponsible. Theoretically a PRESIDENT:must be re-
sponsible, while the exigencies of parties may force
him to appoint Ministers whose views widely differ
from his own, and whom he can little control. Such
was the position of ANDREW JOHNSON, and indeed,
of most Presidents ; but General GRANT deals lite-
rally with the subject, accepting the full responsi-
bility and exercising all the authority. This doubt
less was the object of the Fathers in framing the
Constitution, and GRANT in his straightforward
simplicity goes back to the early days. His inau-
gural confirms our assertions, in which the pithy
language and ideas resemble those of the primi
tive leaders in the Union.

at Washington on the 10th, where apartments were
secured for him. Mr. Fisu was considered the pro-
bable successor of Alr.WasunußNE, who was known
to be in too delicate a state of health to retain his
portfolio though be had entered on its duties, and
France was thought to be his eventual destination.
The new Minister to England had been decided on,
the PRESIDENT having probably waited to consult
his Secretary of State, and now our readers may at
any hour learn who is to be Mr. REVERDY JOHN-
SON'S successor.

General Wyman B. S. Moor of Maine died in
Virginia on Sunday, February 28, where he had gone for
the benefit of his health. General Moor was born in
Waterville, Maine, November 3, 1814; graduated at Wa-
terville College; studied law at Cambridgr, and was ad-
mitted to the bmemberr in 1831. He was a member of tLe Maine
Legislature in 1833 ; Attorney-General of that State from
1844 to 1818 ; and, by appointment, succeeded John Fair •
field as a Senator in Congress, serving from January to
June, 1818. Lle subsegivutly devoted much attention to
the railroad interests of his State, and in 1857 was ap-
pointed by President Buchanan Consul-General to tho
British American Provinces.
