D The late news from Washington
tells, that Grant has been tinkering
again with his Cabinet. He has given
New York end Massachusetts, an extra
hug to his bosom, and nominated an
other patriot from each to be a
Cabinet Minister. Hamilton Fish is
now Secretary of State, and Boutwell,,
the arch Impeacher, is to handle the
strong box. And to finish, General
Rawlings, of his Staff, has been made
Secretary of War. Thus stands the
reconstructed Cabinet until further or

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The Radicals
have commenced the game of attempting
to exclude Democrats who are duly &C
credited members of Congress.
They refused to allow to be sworn in
Hamlin, Of Maryland, charged with disloy

chester, OF Kentucky, Rice is charged with
having been connected with Confederate
organization, and Mr. Winchester's tempo.
rary exclusion arises from the charge that
he was indicted in Kentucky court as o
member of the Sons Of Liberty Order. The
other Kentucky members were sworn in.
Two Missouri members (Rads.) whose
seats are contested, were not allowed to
take their seats. These cases will be up

CHANGES IN THIRTEEN YEARs.-In
1855, Mr.. Buchanan was Minister to
England. Captain George B. McClel-
Ian was detailed on secret service in
the harbor of Cuba, under instructions
from the Secretary of War. General
Quitman, Lieutenant Beauregard and
others were plotting filibustering raids
against the island, for which the Gov
eminent soon after made an offer of
$1OO, OO0, 900. ParsOn BrOwnIow had
written q savage work in defence of
slavery, and was challenging Northern
clergymen to dispute it's divine author
| ity. Gerrit Smith, DR.. Howe, Henry
Ward Beecher, and few hundred 9th
ers were doing a quiet and limited
business in the underground railway
John Brown had not yet left his farm
in the Northern wilds. An obscure in
dividual, remembered by few as hay-
ing once represented Sangamon Dis
trict, Illinois, in the House, and oppos-
ed the Mexican war in an awkward,
disingenious and extremely unpopular
argument, received a few compliment
tary votes for Vice-President, in COM
petition with Mr.. Dray ton, the nominee.
Captain U. S. Grant, hardly suspected
OF being an ex-army officer by those
who bought molasses or cordwood OF
him, was generally taken for steam
boat captain, temporarily stranded by
a stress OF i'll luck, or who hardly had
the energy and pluck to succeed in any
business calling, and therefore collaps-
ed into o Spectator in sundries. W.
4. Sherman was teaching in Louisiana.
General Sickles, Butler and Logan
were rough and tumble Democratic
lawyers of some notoriety. Two ofthe
most prominent and promising officers
of our little army were Colonel Albert
Sidney Johnson and Lieutenant-Colo-
mel Robert E. Lee.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-It is pretty
well ascertained that the Cabinet will be
almost wholly reconstructed. The new
nominations will be made tomorrow.
MIR. Washburne finally resigned the port

WASHINGTON, March lO.-At Cabinet
meeting to-day, the subject of the appoint

and the following determination arrived ut /:
Curtin was selected for Russia, Motley for
Austria, Washburne for France, and Ban
croft to be retained in Prussia.
WASHINGTON, March H. Gen. Sheridan
arrived from the West to-day. The order
assigning him to the command of the De-
Partment OF Louisiana has been revoked.
He will be appointed to the command of a
military diyision-probably that recently
vacated by Gen. Sherman headquarters at
st: Louis. This assignment, indeed, is the
only one BETTING Sheridar's rank.
As matters now stand, it is probable
that Longstreet will decline the Surveyor
ship for which he was nominated. most
determined opposition has been organized
against his confirmation, headed by Brown
low.
Congress will adjourn about the frst Of
April.
The Cabinet being now completed, and
in tolerable working order, the heads of
