rison's Cabinet, and the policy Of his adpinistra-
ton.
We learn that Mr.. Clay, at the suggestion Of his
friends, declines altogether to form part of the
new cabinet-and thatit is expected by them and
ham that Daniel Webster will or ought also decline
should he be offered place there. 1t is further
more stated that General Harrison will select his
Cabinet from the following names:-
Secretary of State.-JOhn Sergeant, Horace Bin
ney, Edwa' d Everett, VIM. II. Seward, John NJ.
CLAYTON, w illam c. Rives, W iliian Preston, John
J. Crittsndep, John Q Adams.
Treaswy.--John Davis, Gulian c. verplanck,
John Sergeant
Napy.gGalian c. yerplanek, Nathaniel p. Tall.
madge, Samuel Southland, William Castor, Theo-
dore Freling huysep, John L. Peuigru.
War.-W,lliam Preston, Willie p Mangum, AL
exaader Porter, John Bell, Thomas Metcalfe.
Attorney GensraI.-John J. Crittendsn, John &.
Spencer William CASTOR, John l.. v. McMahan,
Hugh Legare.
Postmaster GsneraI-Themas Ewing, Elisha
Whitlescy, Oliver IL. Smith.
Among these the dances that the first named
will be the cabinet, and the others have the foreign
missions, Sc. The exclusion of Clay and Webster
is based on the principle that candidate for the
succession ought TO form part of the neU Cabinet.

The Grand Jury Their Extraordinary Com
duet in relation to the Election Frauds.
On accesn, Of the stupendcus nature ofthe frauds
committed in this city, at the elections of 1883 g.
intense anxiety has been felt by the public respect
ing the action Of the Grand Jsry, in relation
20 these frauds, and the various rich and poor cri-
minals, by whom they were committed.
On Saturday last, the Grand Jury brought their
iabors to close. On that day the public anticipated
the presentation Of true bills Of indictment for cleo
ton frauds, against several notorious characters in
this city. Bat on that day, will be by re-
ference to our Sessions report in another column,

graced any criminal or ether court or place in any
town city or in any honorable community.
The matters connected with these frauds, which
all presented to the Grand Jury, affected the
highest interests-the dearest, the most precious
privileges Of free, an honorable people! No less

all sorts Of evidence in relation TO these frauds
