THE CABINET ON THE POLITI-
CAL SITUATION. 900.


The political views Of the men who are so
intimately connected with the administration
Of affairs as those holding Cabinet positions
must necessarily be Of interest. Heretofore
the opinions Of these gentlemen, with few
exceptions, have only been ascertained by
hearssy and unofficial rumors. Through the
agency Of setenade rendered by the Ma
tionai Union Club, the members Of Mr..
JoHNsos's Cabinet have had an opportunity
TO express themselves upon public matters.
We shall refer to what was said by them
serIatim Secretary McCuLLocH's response
was manly, unmistakable and eloquent. He
had no excuses TO make, and no apologies to
Offer. He believes in The Presidents policy
because IL Is just and right in itself. Being
himself . practical man, having contempt
for visions and theories, he did not evince
much respect for constitution tinkers" In
that opinion all people Of common sense will
accord Standing at the head Of one Of the
most important departments of Govern
ment at all tiInes-at this period, perhaps,
the most important department-with the
weighty responsibility Of finance in his hands,
his Judgment must have no ordinary inAu-
ence upon that most sensitive Of all subjects
the property interest. II is a matter Of
congratulation that the financial chief Of the
nation most heartily and unreservedly ap-
proves the policy Of the Executive head Of
the nation. .H
Mr. STANTON, the War Minister, after an
historical resume OF late events, and series
Of quotations from the annual message Of The
PRESIDENT, announces that although person
ally in favor Of the Bureau and Civil Rights
bill, they were dead issues and in regard to
the living questions on which Congress diff
fered with The President, he gave his de-
cided assent TO the position and course Of
the latter.
Mr.. Secretary WnLEs, in few remarks,
confirmed the general impression already re-
ceived, that he was q firm, unHinching, and
reliable supporter Of the Presidential posi-
ton. ......
Mr.. Postmaster DRSN1sox, while unhcsi-
tatingly in favor Of the restoration policy of
The President, and in favor Of the immedi-
ate admission Of the loyal Senators and Rep
resentatives from the South, sincerely regrets
the division Which Congress has made with
the Chief Magistrate, and gives it as his opin-
ion that the differences which exist are not
