MILITARY ORDERS ExTRAoRpINARY. The
day after tomorrow General Grant will move
on the enemy's works from his present quar-
ters in Washington. He will occupy the
White House, taking care to protect his rear
by confiding his late position to the personal
direction Of Lieutenant General Sherman.
From his new post General (then President)
Grant will issue orders commanding the
legions under the direction of General Econo-
my, General Retrenchment and General Re-
form to move into line and align with the right
resting on the pillar of Public Opinion.
General Satisfaction will personally commend
President Grant if these orders be promptly
and faithfully ODE yed

THE GAS QUESTION: gas company that
refuses to give up the lime process said the
smell was healthy, and the company that has
given up that process showed that formerly
in its works the escaping odor sometimes
knocked the men over, SO that they were use
less for week at time. Pretty healthy,

THE CABINET DIFrIcULTY.-H was thought
that If the Senate showed any disposition to
be ugly with Grant in the confirmation OF
men for his Cabinet he could retain the present
incumbents and thus seriously bother the ten
ure Of Office meddlers. But this plank is
taken away by the resolution of the men now
in to resign their places to Andrew johnson
and retire with him. Grant will therefore be
somewhat at the mercy Of the Senate if that
body chooses to make fight with him on the
Cabinet. But the probability is it will not
will be 80 clearly in the wrong before the
country.

General Grants Cabinet.

Our latest special advices from Washington,
received last night, infoIm us that General
Grant has determined not to make known his
Cabinet selections until they are presented to,
confirmed by and published under the usual rules
of the Senate. Therefore all speculations on
the subject are mere gossip, which will do well
enough for breakfast-table talk, but afford no
substantial fare. There is only one point in
regard to the new Cabinet that seems to be
we'll established-that is, the retention of
General Schofeld as Secretary Of War
until the remainder of the Cabinet is
resignation of the Lincoln johnson Cabi-
net including Seward, McCulloch, Welles and
Browning, is expected to be unanimous and
nearly spontaneous. Attorney General Evarts
will also tender his resignation. Secretary
Welles, of the Navy, will 60 out at midnight,
the hour when shipyards yawn and wooden
hulks give up their dead. AS it appears well
established that General Grant is sincere in
his determination not to make known the
members of his Cabinet prematurely, even to
the persons selected themselves, it is possible
that some honest but obscure individuals, who
have never been burdened with public honors
or blushed under national distinction hereto
fore, will wake up on the morning of the 9TH
and suddenly find themselves famous. Wash
ington last night was alive with all sorts Of
rumors about the Cabinet, but the above gives
a condensed panorama of the real situation.

THE LUXURY OF BEING NUISANCE 1t
would only take five hours to change the gas
machinery so that gas could be made without
offensive odor, and the new process would be
cheaper than the old; but the Manhattan
Company will rather go into an expensive liti-
CATION than make the change. II cannot bear
to relinquish the luxury Of being nuisance.

EeArIoNs.-The Southern radical delegations
in Congress waited on General Grant yester-
day and had quite an interesting interview.
The delegations assured the General Of the
loyalty of the South, and the General assured
endeavors to maintain peace and order in that
section, and that all the present military COM
manders would be changed with the exception
Of General Thomas. Nothing was said about
poor Sambo. The radicals seem to have drop
ped that unfortunate creature altogether.
