New YORK, March 5.-The Hud-
son River is again closed By ice. The

The Post, speaking OF the inaugural,
says: Grants sentences and para
graphs all hit their mark. lie does

but neither does he mean to be its
creature. It commendes the in
augural warmly Speaking of the
Cabinet, the Post says: 1t is by no
means such one as the experienced
politician with a strong party attach
ment would have appointed. This Is
TO be regarded as recommendation
The Post generally commends the

A Washington special to the Com

prevails. however, that Grant select.
! cd his Cabinet for their fitness, and
that they all enjoy his personal esteem
and confidence. and it is urged as an
advantage that none of them have po-
| litical friends or enemies to reward oil
punish, and that the nomination foi
subordinate positions will be inhu
eneed solely by capacity and integrity

The great riddle which has so long
perplexed the politicians, since Gen.
GRANTS election, is solved at last.
The telegraph gives US the names of
the distinguished gentlemen who are
to compose his Cabinet and act as his
confidential advisers. The names of
the gentlemen and the offices they are
to fill are as follows:
Hon. f. B. WAsHBURNE, of Hi
nois, Secretary of State.
A. i. STEWART, of New York, Sec
retary of the Treasury.
Ex-Gov. j. d. Cox, Of Ohio, Secre-
tary Of the Interior
ADoLPH BoRIE, Secretary of the
Navy.
Hon. }. A j. CREswELL, Of Mary
land, Postmaster. General.
Il. 3. HOARE, Attorney General.
Tie Cabinet will take all by sur
Prise, Notwithstanding many were an
ti2ipatiug good deal that is peculiar
in its selection. Hon. +. b. WASH
q confidential friend of Gen. GRANT.
Many have regarded him as the poiti-
cal adviser aud patron of the Presi-
dent, aud it has been expected that
he could have any position in the
Cabinet that he desired Those who
have guessed at all, however, have
assigned him the portfolio of the In
terror Department.
Mr.. A. II. STEWART is widely
known as the merchant prince OF
New York City. Starting, not many
years ago, in that metropolis, a poor
boy, by rare combination Of energy
and financial skill he has amassed
fortune estimated as high as seventy
five millions Of dollars. He is know
to b. very methodical in his habits, il
a rigid discjpinarian, requiring tn
greatest integrity and energy on tn
part of his employees, and has a won
deriul power for turning to his OW
financial advantage all the ups an
downs Of the markets in all parts q
the world. Should he have equa
success in managing the cOmplicate
affairs of our National Treasury an
hold the revenue officials to the sam
standard he has established in hi
own personal affairs, we are coufider
the result will justify the wisdom {
Ihe Generals selection.
4 FIX Governor Cox, of Ohio, is
gentleman Of culture and integrit
He made most excellent Governo
as well as a most successful Gener
in the Union Army during the rebc
lion.
ADoLPH BORIE, the gentleman a
pointed Secretary Of the Navy, IS u
known to US. We never heard
him. So, also, we may say OF Il
HOARE, the gentleman appointed a
torney General. We do not knC
even the States from whence they a
taken.
Mr.. j. Al. CREswELL, the Postmi
ter General, is from Maryland, viii
State also furnished Mr.. LINCOLN

While the Cabinet will be different
from what has been generally suppos
ed, the confidence in Gen. GRANT s
sagacity is so strong, that the great
majority of his supporters will give it
their confidence, and expect from it
a prosperous administration of the
affairs of the country. s-e..t..... =

HAVANA, March 4-The Treasury
Department advertises for proposals
for ship owners to furnish transpOrta-
ton for 3l5 political prisoners to Fer
nando Po There is profound sbr-
row among the friends and relatives
of the prisoners, many of whom be-
long to the first families OF the island,
but the measure is excusable, when
it is considered that their transports
ton will save them from danger like
those which they were threatened
with on Sunday last, when the volun
teers demanded their lives General
Dulee has ordered their removal in
consequence of the intense pressure
brought to bear upon him by the
Spaniards. 1t is confidently ex-
pected, however. that the homo gov
ernment will authorize the release of
a majority Of them soon after their
arrival at Fernando Pc.
The DidrO has the following news
from the interior:
In the Eastern Department tire in
surgents In considerable numbers
have concentrated at Mayari. Troops
have marched from Santiago to dis
perse them.
Iu the Central Department an en-
gagement took place between the
Government forces and the insur-
gents, near Santo Espiritu. Nine
rebels were taken prisoners, twelve
/ killed aud many wounded. The Gov
/ ernment loss IS not given.
I Large numbers sof insurgents are
reported in the vicinity of Cenfugos
aud Palmillos. The roads are block
! AIDED by them, and no sugar is coming
I in to Ccnfugos.
All the loyal citizens in the Sanga

abandon their houses in consequence
of the depredations of the Insurgents,

CHICAGO, March5.-Grant's Cabinet
is the topic of conversation here. Its
composition, when first made public
excited great surprise, but the ap-
pointments as a whole are quite favor
ably received; that of Stewart is
especially so. Every body had sup.
1 posed Washburne was booked for
the French Mission. Many Republi-
cans express disappointment at WI
son, of Iowa, being left out In the
| cold. There Is general inquiry as
to who Adolph Borie is, he having
never been heard Of before, and nc
one is wise enough to answer the
question. Washburne' appointment
\ as Secretary of State is construed
here to mean plain and decisive deal
1ings with England In regard to th(
Alabama claims and neutrality obi
gatiOas.
CHICAGO, March 5.-Both House:
of the Illinois Legislature this morn.
ing, by strict party votes, ratified the
