GRANTS CABINET.
IN ppfte Of Gen. Grants ~rsticenes the
nsma OF the 8. PremierD for the new adj
m,uistrstion has leaked out, and it ~
be semi-ofHcially stated that the pOrtfo-
Ito OF State will be placed in charge Of
the Hon. VIM. Pitt Fessenden, of Maine.
This much being known, the complexion
Of the rest Of the Cabinet may be guessed
at. Suffice it to say that 9 gentleman well
posted informs your correspondent that
the announcement Of the Cabinet will
astonish the extrems Radicals, and that
Gen. Grant himself Is anticipating an
effort on their part to smother his admin
istration. There is no doubt that Mr..
Evarts will be continued as Attorney
General, but il is not true that Gen.
Grant desires 20 place the War or Navy
Departments In charge OF the Cf1csrs in
the military and naval service. He
sanctioned or approved the confirmation
Of Gen. SehOEeld Ct the time, in conse-
quenee only Of the peculiar relations ez-
isting between President Johnson and
himself. He declared TO q Senator who
announced to him Schofald's nominR-
ton, that no n could be more opposed
TO such appointments than himself, and
that he had favored Schofeid's appoint
( mpnt for the reagoD stated.

choice for Secretary Of State lies be-
tween Adams snd Motley; hat Denni-
son ia 70 be Postmaster General again,

General.
