All the skill and ingenuity Of Thurlow Weed has avaed
nothing The fight has been going on all night but Mr.
lincoln too much for Weed 90. He issued his ut
matum last aght that Mr Chase went out Mr.. Seward
must 90 Also r. the latter remained in Mr. Chase must
also remain. From this determination Mr.. Lincoln
would NOT bulge an inch; he put his foot down.
Mr. Hamln has been In favor Of giving Mr.. Welcs the
Navy, upon the ground that New England furnishes
hrgc majority o. gas saors and hence ought 10 have

Now that tho Cabinet Is officially announced tbe pent
no cciugs Of various cques that squabbled about
ws construction being ventilated. Weed makes no
conceaent Of his chagrin at the appointment Of Chase
Cameron evidently thinks it a rather bitter pill. Horace
Greeley Ia striding about with the air OF conqueror.
Yhs evening he surrounded In the hall OF Wizards
by a conpatuatory crowd Of his private friends.
Unt the very hour OF the executive session this after
noon countless Of transposons and
breakages we're aoat It is certain that the oontendng
factions were the lookout until the last moment lest
one should steal march the other The opponents Of
Chase were especially relentless in their efforts Last
evening Of the friends Of Chase held in Mont
gsrery BIars rooms and Karl Schurz was despatched
to the White House at late hour to ask Chases appoint
ment. Then Mr.. Lincoln did not give any definite
rsnces and hence many believed Sherman the coming
man.
Seward did not personally engage In the Cabinet uss,
but had the fighting done by his squire, Weed.

Notwithstanding the powerful efforts Of the conserva-

Cabinet he succumbed the radicals and the slate re

that It is not homogeneous Cabinet, and that Il
win not hold together two months Everything said
