The Cabinet which announced yesterday has
been confirmed by the Senate. Mr. Davis has sacri-
feed TO popular Glamour without yielding to public
opinion. lie has made so small change that Mr..
Toots would say it is Of no consequences" All of
the old members were retained except those who
wanted to get out of it, Benjamin is transferred,
and Mallory left in statu quo The representation
of the Synagogue is not diminished it remains
full. The administration has now an opportunity
of making some reputation for, nothing being ex-
pected of it. of course every success will be clear
gain. ......E .
b. There have been three successful Presidents on
this cOntnent-George Washington, James Monroe,
and Andrew Jackson. The explanation of this
success is found in the fact that neither of them
was jealous of intellect that haG already been mark
cd by the public judgment. Public opinion is
rarely in error as to the abilities of the public men

James Monroe, was in all the more tazzlinc mental

whom public opinion bad indicated as able men. -,
This was the cause of his lsuccess.l@He never at
