wAsHIseros. Saturday. July -
The announcement of the Cabine. by the wires
will have shown you how wide Of the mark were
those who appeared the wsest In knowledge - 10
who were to compose its members. In fact q
half an hour before the names were sent in to tho
Senate the Cabinet was not finally agreed upon.
Az arranged this morning Mr. DAYTON ofN ]. vas
TO have gone into the Treasury and Mr.. vISYsn
Of Ohio, into the Department Of the Interior. Bsf
another attempt at persuasion was made rpos
CoRwIs, and about 10 O'Clock this morning be yield
ed to the opportunities Of f'ieLds, both from the
North and the South, and consented to 90 into the
Treasury. In a personal and pecunisry poias Of
view, Mr.. CoRwIs has made q sacrifice that the
public can be little aware Of; and it vas only when
assured that the good Of the country and the great
interests Of the Wing party demanded IL, did no
surrender % bis friends. There we're no two psr-
sons more anxious that Mr.. CoRwTs should 20 ia,o
the Cabinet than were Messrs. WEBsTER aid
BERRIES. To me il appears though the COO
struction OF the Cabinet might have been strength
ened by assigning Mr.. BATES Of Mo TO the Depart
ment OF the Interior, and Mr. PEAEcE Of Md to that
Oithe War The former Department embraces ia
the greet Western interests, and IL wo I'D have
been yephariy proper that a w estern man should
have oeen placed az the head Of IT, For that post
no better or more capsule person could have been
selected in the whole w est than the Hon. EDwO.
BATES, who 10 Que Of the purest and best men lIv-
ing | am OF the opinion that this change will yet
be made.
The selection Of Mr.. HALL for Post Master.G3en-
eral was due to the great Empire STATE, whose
claims have heretofore been too slight y passsI
over Ii was aleo due 10 the President tnas ono
member Of bis cabinet at least, should be- an init
mate personal and confidential friend, IN whom be
could confde as in o brother. All this he fnds in
Mr. HALL, bo will make acceptable Post
Master General, | nave no dOabt, az the coas.ry
has ever bad. MIR HALL was sustained by most
II hot ali the Wig delegation 10 Congress from
your State. We have now q thoroughly w hig ad-
Manifestation, and the country viii 5000 begin 70 feel
the benefits OF II.
