THE CABINET. 08o73d5 frg
The curiosity about the Cabinet is very
funny to 40 Indifferent IoOker.on. If the
day of tbs Inauguration and of the authoTi.
tive publicstt;es &c the names was q little
farther of, we might at least hope to learn
of many who would not be appOiated, ifonly
headWay continued to be made at dhs same
encouraging rate for the additional timer y
1t seems to have been asceFtained that New
York and Pennsylvania are 10 have one place
eaeh--no State to have more--8hst Attorney
General EVarts is not the one from the former
State, nor Ex- Governor Curtin for the latter;
that no OficeFsofthe army or navy will have
a place; that no man shall have place who
is not FeconstrnctiORist and a Republican
essentially; but that the fact Of a man being
a apromineutpolitieian1 or partizan, OF strongly
backed BY prominent politicians will not be
sufficient to secure him place. IfMsssa-
chusetts is represented, it will not be By
Senator Wilson, for he has declared be would
not accept, at the same time making very
earnest mention Of Senator Sumner and Re-
/ preventative Boutwell, to Che President elect.
For Pennsylvania, the guesses Of the know
ing ones seem to be baddliDg around Mr..
George Il. Stuart, who was President Of the
Christian Oommission, but not known in
politics, and udge Brewster, a lawyer Of high
reputation, but recent convert to Repdbii-
canism. Judge Pierrepont is a prominent
name for New York. He is an eleventh-bOur
Republican, also; but like Judge Brewster,
enjoying high reputation. t.s
There is no thought of any Of the present
members Oftbe Cabinet being retained, ex-
cepting. perhaps Gen. SehOfeld temporarily
in the War Department. The Southern Re-
presentatives have had conference, all the
States being represented. The affairs Of the
South were generally discussed, and it was
decided to draw up document to present to
Gen. Grant, setting forth the condition of
things, and also suggesting that the South
have a member of the Cabinet, II Gen.
Grant accedes to the suggestion, another
meeting win be called and name selected
to present to Gen. Grant probably Horace
Maynard, of Tennessee. ~ .-'-T
GENERAL SHERMAN. ~. ..t-f n.
Lieutenant General Sherman has arrived
in town, aud is stopping at the. residence Of
his brother, Senator Sherman. The commit
tse having in charge the purchase of theresi-
deuce for the General having concluded negO-
tiatiOns for Gen. Grant residence on I street
with the furniture, will have the sams
thoroughly repaired, They have received
poti6cation from Gen. Sherman that he win
not occupy the house before the first of JuHe
next, as he does not desire to break mp house
keeping in st. Louis before that time, on
account Of interfering With the education of
his children, se >gs-. -5:
Mr.. Mcpherson, CLERK Of the HOuse, hss
made roll call for the 4th of March. After
excluding the representatives. from Georgisa
and Louisiana; and several NAMES where seats
are contested, the number foots up 1877 Re-
publicahs and So Democrats, thus giving the
Republicans INOrs thgn tEo-thirdg The
Democrats claim IL members Fi8
1.-THE sPEAKERsHIP.
Mr.. Dawes, of Massachusetts, having writ
ten letter to Mr.. Blaine, of Maine, with
drawing his name as candidate for the Speak
ership, and being Mr., Rlaine's only ccmpe-
titOr for thstpOst the latter gentlemen has
only to go through the form of being elected.
1t SO happens that excellent qualities in the
man unite with the State claim TO recom-
mend this son Of Maine for the honorable and
critical place. 'isl sa Hf 1s.
