Now that election is over, the busi-
ness of Cabinet-making forces itself
upon the public mind. The people
cannot avoid feeling an earnest solicit
tude upon the question who are to form
President Grants Cabinet. While the
choice of the Republican party for the
Presidency was determined by the
force of events and the position Gen.
Grant had won before the world, his
own choice of the members of his Cab
met is much more complex task. It
is assumed that few leading elements
of the problem are solved The pres
ent Cabinet, except Gen. Seho6eld,
having in the main given their infu
ence toward the election of Seymour
and Blair, it is assumed that an entire
new Cabinet will be formed. But
among the statesmen of the country
who have never held Cabinet positions,
there are few who enjoy such a pre-
eminence in any special department of
craftsmanship as to point them out for
particular places in the Cabinet. Gen.
Schofeld, ex-Secretary Stanton, Gen.
Sherman, Gen. Sheridan, and Gen.
Thomas, are, perhaps, equally availa-
BILE for the post of Secretary of War
Mr.. Sumner, Charles Francis Adams,
Mr.. Trumbull, Gen. Dix, Mr.. Bancroft,
and Mr.. Motley, are among the names
suggested for Secretary of State. The
more important Office of Secretary of
the Treasury naturally suggests the
names of Benjamin F. Wade, Gov.
Fenton, Gov. Boutwell,, and Senators
Morgan, Sherman, Conkling and Nor
rill, and Mr.. Washburne. The remain
ing Cabinet positions call up score of
names, and may perhaps, afford an OPP
portunity for rewarding the minor CO.
odjutors of Grant in the great work OF
suppressing the Rebellion. - Tribune,

Two National Bank failures have already
occurred in Milwaukee. If these National
Banks. sustained, endorsed and defended bv
the Radical policy, are good a. Creeubacks,
why DO they fail s-Dera5-rat-
We had hoped that after the eIec-
tson our neishbor of the Democrat
would see no farther cause for ms
representation; but the above proves
the ruling passion strong even after
death. Ignorance Is no excuse fo5
the publication of a statement ike
the above. for all who read the state
ments Of the bank failures in Milwau-
kee. knew that no National Bank. or
any bank of issue had failed. or was
likely to fail. Tho only bank failure
in Milwaukee was that Of a private
banking Institution, similar to the
bank IN this city. and nothing more.
We think little more regard for
truth would benefit our u-igbbor quite
as much as any information he could
receive fom some one Of the Nc
Cul,ochs.

With regard to the effect produced by

cause Of the Defeat OF Major OTls. Mr..

are well aware that Major OTIS had
opposition on other grounds. and that
Certain parties, claiming 10 be Repub-
leans, did al in their power 10 defeat
him; but Ne do not believe that with
GU. the AID OF the CHRONICLE thew would
have been successful. We Englg that
the loss Of some forty votes. in Lin

article IN the Chronicle. which was re-
printed by the Democrat. Of this city.
and scattered broadcast throughout

this, Major OrIs Gnstead of being
beaten IN the Southern District, a.
claimed by the Chronicle went into
