THE CABINET CHANGEs.-Since the appoipt

Simon Cameron removed, it has been confident
y asserted that other changes would be soon
made in the Cabinet. We see nothing to con

changes should be made. Mr.. Cameron was re.
moved because he had lost the confidence of the
people, and from what he failed to do. as well as
his official acts. His failure to supply arms to cur
soldiers when 25 900 stand, the best in the world

that his course has had much to do with the in
