GRANTS C-1BINET.
The Old Fox of the State Department
His Probable Dismissal n nd its Effect
Stewart, scho1icld nnd Grecley-Inter-
esting Speculations.

The Now York correspondent of the Boston
Post writes:
Mr.. Stewards speech at Auburn, a few days
ago, is understood here to have been bid for
O new lease of the State Department. 1t will
be remembered that when the question OF We
racity between Grant and Johnson came up,
the cunning old Secretary was the only member
of the Cabinet who avoided committing himself
against Grant. Even at that time his shrewd
eyes foresaw that Grant would be Johnson's
successor and he resolved to save himself, il
possible. During the canvass he has been
secretly in fIvor of Grant though careful not
to commit bimself too boldly; aud his speech at
Auburn was part Of the intrigue whereby he
hopes to retai his place in the Cabinet. Grant
is understood to have pretty strong liking for
Seward, and desire to keep him at his right
hand when lie enters the White House, but the
active Radicals will strongly object to the re-
tcntion of Seward; and in order to avoid quar-
rel at the outset. Grant will probably let him
go. THIS will be equivalent to signing his
death warrant for the old man cannot live
long out of office. a. L. Stewart can certainly
have the Treasury, il he wants it. His friends
say, however, that he has no ambition OF that
sort. His soul is in his business, and he could
hardly be inluced to go away from it. The
and if he declines, either John Sherman or
Senator Fessenden will be asked to
take it. Grant is perfectly satisfied with
General Schodeld's administration Of the
War Department, and will probably re-
tain him there. Scholicld has been an out,
spoken supporter of Grant all through, and
expccrs to be remembered. Horace Greeley
done good service during the campaign,
though rather against his will, and his friends
will Try hard to have him made Postmaster
General. 1t is believed that Grant will make
this concession at least to the extreme wing OF
the party. Ii either Stewart or Greeley goes
into the Cabinet, Evarts Will have to leave, tor
New York cannot have more than one seat
there. Should Evarts go out, the Attorney
Generalship will be offered to man OF his
own standing in politics, but probably hailing
from the West. Farragut is expected to get
WeIles' place in the Navy Department, and the
Department Of the Interior will be given to
New England. As yet all is mere speculation
as regards the material of Grants Cabinet,
but the general opinion among politicians is
that it will be composed OF four Conservative
Republicans and two extreme Radicals.

BITTERS are now given with the utmost confidence
and the happest results. The reason why this ad-
mirable botanical preparation has superseded the
debiltating poisons Of the old materia medica are
these: it combines the properties OF wholesome
tonic with those Of gentle catharc, an antblious
agent, nervine, and a blood depurent. Thus,
while it keeps the bowels free, regulates the liver,
and puries the curren. of life it sustans the physi-
cal strength of the invalid and by this means the ex-
pulson OF disease and the restoration of consttu-

a few bouscs, but the principle sufferers from
this are the spectators who mostly do busl-

the market will be easy during the winter.

sudden Conversion

One of the Jealous chaplains of the
army of the Potomac called on colonel
noted for his profanity, in order to talk
about the religious interest of his men.
He was politely received, and motioned
to a seat on a chest, when the following
dialogue ensued:
Chaplain-Colonel, you have one of
the finest regiments in the army.
Colonel believe so.
Chaplain-Do you think you pay suf-
ficisnt attention to the religious instruc-
tions of your men.
Colouel-(doubtfully.) Well, don't
know.
Chaplain-A lively interest has been
awakened in the - Massachusetts, Ia RI
val regiment) The Lord has blessed
the labor of his servants, and ten have
already been baptized.

Mr.. CoNGER addressed Republican
meeting in Michigan. After the custo-
mary "hems," Mr.. Conger commenced
his address. Warming up after few
minutes "spread eagle" oratory, he got
hold of the bond question.
My Republican friends" said he,
"the Democratic party says that the
bondholder shall receive his interest IN
greenbacks."
"Bullyw yelled the crowd, and the
stamping fairly made the house shake.
Mr.. Conger did not exactly see where
the cheers came in, but thinking that
he had made good point, he went on
again:
'"Shall the bondholder, whs came to
the rescue Of the country when she was
being worsted in the struggle, be com
PEELED to receive greenbacks in lien OF
the gold promised himi"
"Yes! Yes,' shouted the sturdy listen
ers, and one old farmer rose up amidst
the stamping, and pointing his long
bony finger at Conger's eye, said:
''lf greenbacks are good enough for
me, who sent my only son to the war
and had him killed there, they will dc
for the man who sent no son and pays no
taxi
The stamping which followed this
nearly shook COnger off the stand. and
turning round to the sober old Demo,
crat who introduced him, he inquired
with puzzled look:
What in the demons name ails The
Republicans around herei"
An explanation soon en- sued, and Con
ger broke for the door and regained hi
buggy.
