THE PRESIDENT AND THE CABINET.
II is considered that, uncertainty exists 10
when Secretary Seward will be able to the duties
Of the State Department. IL will become necessary for
President johnson 10 appoint Secretary Of State either
temporary otherwise The public need, therefore, not
surprised hear of the appointment of Preston King
either Acting Secretary of State Secretary de dcto
within few days An effort is made TO get up consd-
cradle gossip in regard TO changes by the retirement Of
other MEMBERS but Of that there prospect for some
time TO come.
II is hardly probable that Senator Harlan will assume
the duties Of the Interior Department now that Mr. Lin
coin is dead He having two years left Of his in
the Senate he will prefer TO remain there. This will
make necessary for appointment for that posi-
ton on the lst of May As Secretary Stanton he

.appears TO be settled question with the
Powers of Europe that the Pope cannot remain
in Rome very much longer, and they are
severely harassed as to where he Is to locate
hmselfin future. A committee waited on Lord
Palmerston recently, asking If the Holy Father
could not obtain place in England to reside.
But Palmcrsion shook his head and said, No; he
could not permit him TO live in England, but
suggested that he might afford him an asylum
in the island of Malta. Napoleon would not
have him in France for any consideration. He
is too much afraid OF him. Another papal visit
to France in his uncle's time brought no good
luck with It. The Emperor of Russia would
not have him, Of course; for he is pope him
self in his own dominions. The King of Italy
is only too anxious TO get him out of that coun-
try as soon ns possible; and SO, with all the
other crowned heads The poor Pope has
wherenot 10 lay his head in Europe. 1t is evi.
dent, then, that his best course would be to
come out TO this country. He will get safe
asylum and will be protected in any part o
the United State For the matter Of that, ouI

The Atlantic Telegraph.

Considerable doubt seems to be arising
in the public mind in regard to the sue
cess of the Atlantic Telegraph. Whether
this is only mere reaction from the
high state Of hope and expectation of
few weeks ago, or has some more real
foundation it is difficult to determine
II is argued, however, that no line OF
such length as the Atlantic cable has
been or can be worked without being
supplied with intermediate batteries
and repeating stations. A considerable
decline of the Atlantic Telegraph stock
has recently taken place in London,
which is supposed to have been occa-
STONED by the announcement that the
Indian submarine telegraph, which has
worked with great irregularity since it
was first laid, has ceased working alto
gether. The long Geographic line in
this country to California, is no test, as
1t is overland and is supplied with re-
peating stations; yet even on that great
delays are often experienced in the
transmission of messages.

From Hours at Home
without and within.


Softly the gold has faded nom the sky,
Slowly ne stars have gathered one BY one,
Calmly the crescent moon mounts up on high,
And the long day Is done,
With quiet heart my garden walks tread,
Feeling the beauty that can not see
Beauty snd fragrance all around me shed
BY flower, and shrub and tree
Often linger where the roses pour
Exquisite odors IRON each glowing cups
Or where the violet, bnmmed with sweetness
Lifts its small chalce up.
With fragrant breath the lilies WOO me now,
And softly speaks the sweet voiced m'gno-
nette,
While heliOtropes, with meekly lifted brow,
Say to me Go not yet"

And as a star led sage and seer Of old,

And leads me in where my young children lie,
Rosy and beautiful in tranqu rest;
The seal of sleep Is ON each fast-sbut eye,
Heavens peace within each breast.

TRUE DEMoCRATs.--lf negro suffrage
at the South can be determined or in
fuenced by northern votes, the entire
German population, according to the
Chicago Tribune, may be relied upon in
its favor. Without distinction of party
the Germans take stand on this ques-
ton, which is in agreeable contrast to that
of many from foreign shores" who pro-
TESS the name of Democracy, The Tri-
bune says
"The Germans have no ignoble fear
that if black men be allowed to vote
they will secure the offices, show them
selves superior to whites, marry all our
most beautiful women and rule the
country. They are not afraid of black
men as competitors in business, politics
or social life, but are willing to give
them all the rights and opportunities to
live, and rise, aye, and shine if they are
able to do so, which are possessed by
the whites. On this issue not only the
entire republican, but the whole demo-
cratic and even the late copperhead
German press are on the side of the true
democracy. The Stats ZeitaDag Of New
York (copperhead) unites with the DEM
0krat (repnbiican) of that city; and the
like holds true of the democratic press
Of st. Louis and Cincinnati, as well as
here in Chicago. 1t is safe to affirm that
the weight Of three millions of the Ger
man people, of whom two-ffths have
been democrats, and of whom one hun
dred thousand are voters, will be thrown
in one solid vote into the scales in favor
of negro suffrage at the South. They
honestly inquire what right they AS for
eigners have to exclude native born citi-
,Zens from the ballot box"

more hotel of the largest class then than
there is now, and all the hotels and

enough. The piles of brick and stone,
