IMPORTANT FROM WAsHIYGTON!
Dissolution Of The GIarrison Cabinef.


On Friday, Messrs. EWING, BELL, BADGER and
CRlTTESDgs rendered to the President the resig-
nation of their Offices as Secretaries Of the Trea-
sury, War, Navy and Attorney General respectively
These designations were accepted, and Oh Saturday
President Tyler nominated to the Senate the fol-
lowing as their successors. viz:
WALTER FORWARD ofPennsylyania for Secretary
o;Me Trc0surv;
JOHN MCLEAN o. Ohio for Secretary Of Bar;
ABEL r UPSHUR Of Va. for Secretary Of the Nary :;
HUra s LEGARE of South Carolina for Attorney
These nominations have not been acted on by the
Senate, but We believe they will meet with no OPP
position.
We farther learn That Mr.. GRANGER on Saturday
rendered his resignation as Postmaster General
which was also accepted, and that CHARLES a.
WIcKLFFE of Kentucky would probably be nomi-
mated to-day to succeed him.
Mr.. WEBSTER remains at the head Of the State
Experimentation the present at least. We under
stand that many Members of Congress-atneng
them JoHN QUIScY ADAMs-have represented to
him that his abandonment Of that post at this time
IN view of the critical and ominous condition of our
Foreign Relations, would be perilous dercliction
from duty, and must not be thought of. He is the
only Member of Gen. Harrsons Cabinet remaining.
There is much matter for commen; in this reyo-
luton, but we forbcar this morning. We under
stasd that the retiring Secretaries Will lay before the
People the reasons which have led 10 the step they
have been mpellcd to take. 1t will be awaited
with muchncrcst.
The character OF the Now Cabinet viii be in
terred from the designations affixed to the names
of the Members composing it by our Washington
Correspondent who is in no respect unfriendly to
the new regime. His letter will be found full Of
significance We do not think it at all probable
that Gov CoRwIs of Ohio would accept place
in this Cabinet, If rendered him, as we presume it
has not boen and will not be.
We understand that the Senate was in Executive
Session nearly all of Saturday, and that the nomina
tion of EDWARD EVERETT was under considera-
,on. 1t was not dcfniiively acted on.
D' We nre reminded that the Registry Law of
1889 requires the appointment of three Consta-
Llcs 10 attend each Registry of Voters. OF course
the Council was right in appointing them, and we
were wrong in finding fault with the act But it is
no less certain that these officers nrc unnecessary
and may be dispensed with next winter by an amend
ment Of the law. The Council should be required
TO appoint peace officers only in case the Commits
sioners, or one of them, shall deem ii necessary.
~ We believe 4 large majority of our citizens
will share the pleasure with which we announce
that the nomination of the Hon. EDWARD CURTIS
as Collector of Customs for this Port was on FRI
day confirmed by the Senate, by the decisive ma
oritv of 81 TO 10, being, presume, clear party
vote The ordeal of opposition, investigation and
scrutiny to which he has been subjected has been
rigid and formidable beyond precedent; and his
confirmation, in defiance of all, is an emphatic
tribute to his proved fidelity, capacity and worth.
The nomination of ROBERT c. WETMoRE, Esq.
Us Navy Agent for this Port, which had likewise
been resisted ychemently, and opposed by all man
ner of defamatory rumors, charges and ahdavits.
was confirmed on Thursday by unanimous vote.
CRY REroRM-We believe the conviction is
becoming general and strong among our citizens
tina; thorough Reform in the conduct OF our Mu-
nicipal affairs Is Indispensable, and tina, 1t only
be ensured by union of the friends of good order
and good government in the election OF Cly officers
entirely regardless of party politics, any thing
but the re,renchment of City expenditures, the
preston OF vice, disorder and crime, and the eff
cienr protection of the lives and property of OuF
citizens. Such II union is iorcibly advocated by an
able and well-known correspondent Veto } OF the
Evening Post. ana trust his arguments will have
weight with these to whom they are addressed-
For our own part, we have long desired The adop-
non of the course he suggests, and we trust
not be much longer delayed. The recent proscriP-
tion of some sixty or eighty most faithful and ap
proved Watchmen fer nothing bu; their politics /,
openins the eyes OF thousands to the iniqu'y and
mischief of the system under which they Were
brought to the block. Let public attention be once
directed TO this subject, and Reform is inevitable
Every honest mans interes, is strongly IN its favor
