to the Supreme Court has been Confirmed :,
the Senate, and, Of course, the Cabinet oy,or..
nent announced in the Telegraph has been d.,
arranged. We hear Mr.. Barry, Of Keniuelv
and Colonel Johnson spoken Of to fill tn. ofs,.

man first named will receive the appointment
Mr.. Blake, the District Attorney of Mav,.
chusetts, has come under the operation of III.
second section" of the proscriptive code, and
been put aside to make way Tor Mr.. Andrew
Dunlap, "a good and true man."
The Senate adjourned on Saturday, be it =,
memhered, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO susIyy,,
BEFORE THEM. On this subject we would QUOT.
the language Of the National Journal:
"There are yet three members ofthe Cabr.,
to be nominated. We are told by au,horiry
that these three persons are members Of III,
Senate. Is it deemed most becoming and mo-,
constitutional, or most safe, to keep these lhr.
elect in the Senate for the present, in ords,
that they may act upon the Other Senaorl-
AS Cabinet ministers elect, they may be all.
TO add to their influence as Senators, and +,
control by their votes in the Senate, the an.
pointments which they themselves may h,,
suggested in the Cabinet. If these incipien
reforms in the practice of the EIeculi,e De,
partment be indicative Of the character Of III.
reforms which are hereafter TO be made, He,
! ven only knows where we shall STOP or Whit
destiny is reserved for our republic"
We are disposed, actually, il we Can prevsu
il, mol to find fault with the conduct Of The ne7
Executive. But, the fact is, we are compe!!st
in obedience TO our principles, to protest. il
the strongest terms, against the measures 50
far pursued. There appears to be system Of
managing, juggling, and ehicanery, a, work !,

A number of balo,tings have taken place, sH

managers and leaders. We regret that Na'iOr,
al politics should have such an influence in d,
termining State elections. Cannot man ho

Our friend, Mr.. Kremer, is canddse, and,
we observe, had several ballots, but, We pre-

wish will not be realized.
