Rumored Change ia The Cabinet,

RumOred Change in the Cabinet
There is rumor from Washington
that is delicious. 1t is currently re.
reported and believed that Simon Cam
eron has resigned the Secretaryship Of
War, and is going to Russia, as Minis
ter, Cassius M. Clay having discover
ed that he (Clay) was not calculated
for a diplomat. 1t is also rumored
that the new Secretary of War is Ed
win M. Stanton, Of Ohio, who was in
Buchanan's Cabinet little while af.
ter the flight of the traitors, and by
his stormy energy infused the greater
part of the little life that appeared in
to the last days of the retiring James.
Now we don't care whether Simon
Cameron goes to Russia or to Halifax,
80 he goes. Proceed Simon, at once!
Follow Alexander Cummings abroad
for your health, and see if you can
discover what became Of that one hun
dred and thirty thousand dollars. The
War Department is in an awful condi-
ton. Cameron knows little more about
its business than the man in the moon.
He is in every respect unreliable. His
figures pretending to give the dimen-
sions Of the army are more than one
hundred thousand out of the way
He accepted forty-three regiments of
cavalry more than were wanted, thus
involving the country in an expendi-
ture of more than twenty millions Of
dollars, money that might as we'll have
been thrown into the sea. Go, Simon,
90, there are no more old broken down
horses for sale in Pennsylvania. They
have been bought up by the Govern-
ment and are dead. 1t is time you
should go. Your health ought to fail
about this time. Think of your many
fatigues and become indisposed. Try
the climate of St. Petersburg. Try
any climate but this. And can't you
take Mr.. Wellcs along with you? The
old ships are bought up. Gideon's S
relatives have made their pile. Gideon
should become sickly. His excessive
labors surely have made shocking in
roads upon his venerable frame. Carl
Schurz is coming home from Spain.
Send Gideon to Madrid. Let him try
the Spanish atmosphere. He is admi-
rably adapted to be Minister at the
Court of Spain. Hedon't know word
Of the language, and has not the reno.
test idea OF the duties to be performed,
But the climate would restore the tone
of his enfeebled system, and he needs
a quiet place in which to hide from the
gaze of this wicked world.
It will beproper to add that Edwin
NJ. Stanton, the reported successor of
Cameron in the War Office, is we'll
known as the particular friend and con-
fidential adviser of Gen. Mcclellan.
gI- 1t is hardly necessary to inform
our readers that the above is from the
Cincinnati Commercial, a Republican
paper. If such treason as the above
had appeared in a Democratic paper as
original, the Commercial, and all the
other loud takers about Sustaining
the Government to put down the rebel
lion, would have stretched their Uni
on throats inyelping treason" ''tory,
and such other phrases as their vocab-
ularies would suggest. The truth of
the matter is this: An Aboliti ,nisr or
a Republican can talk or publish Just
as much treason" as he pleases, and
he need have no fear Of punishment;
but Democrats must keep closed
mouths. If they would dare to initiate
such pieces as the above from the Com.
mercia', their talking and publishing
powers woule be closed for season at
least, and within the w,llsef some pris,
on they couldreaect upon the parti lity
shown to those of onnosite nolitics.-
