MORE TROUBLE ABOUT OLD ABE's CABINET
Mr.. Lincoln's aid-de-camp, or Grand Cham
berlain, has had no difficulty about arranging
the programme for the journey of the Presi
dental party from Springfield to Washington;
but Abraham himself is sorely perplexed as to
what he will do when he arrives at the federal
capital and enters upon his duties. Cabinet
making he finds much more difficult job than
rail splitting The radical republicans in the
West are bitterly opposed to his Premier, Mr..
Seward, but seem at q loss for some valid rea-
son for their hostility. Cameron was set aside,
we are told, on the ground that he had been
mixed up with some rather high favored jobs
and if such is really the case, why should not
the enemies Of Seward open similar battery
upon him? Seward has always been the friend
and apologist of Matteson Il Co.. and Weed,
the Wellington of the lobby, is the right
bower of the New York Senator, who
has not scrupled to lend his influence
1t would be easy enough to make out case
against Mr.. Seward OF, indeed, almost any
other prominent politician who is eligible to an
appointment in Lincoln's cabinet. The new
President has our sincere sympathy. Not one
name, except that of old Mr.. Bates, whom no
body objects to, because nobody knows any
hing about him, of all those proposed for his
Cabinet, has been well received by the republi-
can leaders. He must make q coup dftat and
insist upon having his own way in the appoint
ment of his constitutional advisers, turning
them out afterwards in case they do not fill
their positions acceptably to the people. As
for the politicians, cabinet Of angels would not
satisfy them.

PATENT EXTENSIONS "A bill has passed the
House Of Representatives prohibiting the ex-
tension of any patent out of which the net profits
realized by the patentee shall have been
proved TO amount to 100000. The policy Of
this enactment cannot be disputed. aud we
trust the Senate will concur Ia giving 1t the
force of law. II will protect the agricultural
and industrial interests Of the country against
unfair monopolies, and will do away with a
vast amount Of lobby corruption and lcgisls.
tive decentralization arising out of the efforts
to psrpetuate them. The lavish expenditure
resorted 10 to force these patent extensions
through Congress has done more TO debaach
and destroy the independence Of our public
men than any other influence that we know o.
Had . law like that proposed been passed
some years ago the country would have saved
millions of dollars, and would have escaped
many of the other gigantic swiudles which
have been contaminated by lobby agencies.

Full details will be found in another CO.
lumn. Of the most grave and momentous event
that has yet occurred, in the progress towards
civil war and military despotism, of the revo-
luton which convulses the country. Two
barks, two briggs and schooner, the property
OF citizens of this metropolis, were on Friday
seized by the authorities of Georgia, in retaiia-
ton of the robbery by our police, under pre-
tence that they were contrabsnd of war, of
goods belonging to individuals of that State.
1t Is the first act of reprisals, at the South.
against aboli,ionist aggression in the non-
slaveholdiDg States. 1t is tantamount to
decree of non-intercourse, that may pave the
way for open hostilities between members of a
confederation, which, only two months ago,
were bound together by ties it was fondly
hoped could never be sundered. Every sober
minded, intelligent, patriotic American citi-
zen, will be startled and alarmed by 1t, and
will shrink back with horror from the prospect
of blood, carnage and internecine strife which

last, in the port of Savannah, is speedily
told Some weeks ago, merchandise was
purchased in New York, by several Geor-

of firearms, and their shipment was ordered to
their destination. The relations Of the States
with one another were peaceful. Neither the
federal government, nor any competent autho-
rity, had recognized the existence Of breach
between sections Of the republic outside of
the competency of Congress and the Chief Ma
gistrate to heal, Either Governor Morgan or
his advisers assumed, however, the RESPONSE

Hon. JOHN CocHRANE's REVENUE MEASURE
Our active and vigilant representative in Con-
gress of the commercial interests of this city,
Mr.. Cochrane, will, it is given out, report to-
morrow, from the House select committee of
FIVE, a revenue bill imposing the penalty of
seizure and forfeiture upon vessels clearing
from or entering such ports as the President,
by proclamation, may vacate as ports Of entry.
This is certainly rigorous measure, and has
much the complexion of proclamation of
war against the seeded States Are we then,
to have war? Is there DO way Of
avoiding war; If the Union is hopelcssly
divided, as we truly believe 1t to be, what are
we to gain by war; and especially by war
which may bring England and France to the
enforcement Of their commercial rights in the
ports of the Southern States. We can gain
nothing from such folly, but may lose every
thing by 1t. The Union, we say, is gone, and
peace is now the paramount question. We
earnestly invoke the attention OF Mr.. Cochrane
to this pressing and momentous question Of
peace or war.

RAPID PROGRESS TOWARDS A MILITARY DEs-
PoTIsM.-In the Senate of this State, on Thursday,
bill appropriating half million dollars ito
arm the State" was adopted by strict party
vote, and it will undoubtedly be put through
the Assembly without delay. 1t is worthy OF
remark that only one Senator outside OF the
republican party voted for the bill. This
Senator is Mr.. J. M. Murphy, who represents
the lower part of this city. The passage of
the bill gives fat job to somebody. and shows
the temper of the republican leaders more
plainly than any Of their speeches. They are
going in for war to the knife. They will pro-
badly invest all their money in Sharpe's rifles,
and make Brother Beecher the chaplain Of the
new Puritan corps, as a sort Of nineteenth cen
fury Praise God Barebones. The first move
Of the army will probably be against Savan-
nah, to retake the New York vessels seized
there on Friday, and then to Charleston, Mo-
bile and New Orleans. OF course the Cheva-
lier Webb will have commission, and will be
found in the front of the battle.
