RECONSTRUCTION OF THE CABINET.

file Richmond Wig " respectfully
suggests to President Johnson that he
could not possibly do wiser or more
4 polite thing than to reconstruct his Cab
met" with view of making a place for
one ofthe consulting political physicians
of Richmond 1--WE do not claim,' says
the Wing, 'that it is expected or that it
would be appropriate, that the President
should, in the reconstruction of his Cab
met, select any person us member of
it who resides in State having pro-
visional government"
"But the Government of Virginia is not provisional,
but regular, Constitutional Government, in regular,
peaceable and successful operation And that being So
the President might select member OF his Cabinet from
this State not only with the most eminent propriety but
with decided advantage to the fortunes of his Admnisa
ton aud the general interests of the people in all
tions of the TDon'
Now, we have not the least objection
to the selection of "an able and LIBERAL
minded adviser from Virginia"-in-
deed, if Mr.. johnson should put General
Lee at the head of the War Department,
and make the editor of the Wig Post
master General, we should not care we
arelaughing only atthe ever ready "but,"
and the claim which the Wing sets up
over her sister States, that Virginia has
"a regular" State government. The
wing thinks Virginia adviser in the
Cabinet would keep the President in
formed on Southern affairs, and do ever
so-much good. But it seems to us Mr..
Johnson has a pretty thorough knowl-
edge of the "actual disposition, purposes
and wants. of the Southern people. If
our Richmond friends insist upon a
member of the Cabinet, Mississippi will
press Mr.. Davis's claims, Texas will
hold forth Mr.. Regain, and South Caro-
lima will present good and atrue man.
Gentlemen of Richmond, let us move
slowly. We have as much as We can do
to raise food for 1866, and we had best
not bother ourselves with politics.
