THURSDAY. MARCH 10, 1869
The New Cabinet.

Secretary Of Stote.--HAMILToN FISH
of New York.
Secretary Of the Trea8ury-GEoRGE .
BOUTWELL,, of Massachusetts,.
Secretary Of War.-JoHN A. kAWLlNS'
of Illinois
Secretary Of tie Naoy-ADoLPH t. DO
RTE, of Pennsylvania.
Secretary Of the AatSrior--JAcoB D. cox
of Ohio.
Postmaster GeneraI-JoHN A. j. Ores
WE'LL, of Maryland.
Attorney General.-E. RocKwooD HoAR'
of Massachusetts,.
The Cabinet as now constituted, is es-
sentialIy different from that announced
in this paper last week. Hon. George
S. Boutwell,, of Massachusetts,, takes the
place made vacant by the resignation of
A. T. Stewart as Secretary of the Treas
ury Hamilton Fish, of New York, takes
the place of E. B. Washburn for Secretary
of State. For Secretary OF War, John
A. Rawlins, has been appointed. This
completes the Cabinet, without any prob
ability of further change. The compost
ton of the Cabinet seems to give general
satisfaction, and will no doubt reflect the
true sentiment of the people.
HAMILTON FISH, has been long known
in public life, among the distinguished
men of the State of New York. He was
q member of the Legislature of that
State, more than thirty years ago. He
has represented the State Of New York in
the House of Representatives at Washing
ton, and has also been member of the
United States Senate He has held the
Office of Governor of the State of New
York. His large experience in various
high official stations, is calculated to fit
him for the duties of the position, to
which he has been called.
GEORGE S. BOUTWELL,, of Massachusetts
has long been one of the prominent men
of that State. He has in past years, held
various Offices of distinction. Among the
important positions of public trust he has
occupied, are the following: Member of
the State Legislature; Member of the
Constitutional Convention; Bank Com
missioner; Secretary Massachusetts Board
of Education; Member Board Overseers
Harvard College; Commissioner Internal
Revenue; Member of Congress, besides
other offices of scarcely less Importance.
GEN. JOHN A. RAwLINs, of Illinois,
Secretary of War; was brave officer du'
ring the war of the rebellion. He enter
ed the army with General Grant and was
with him through all the various fortunes
of war.

The adjournment of our State Legisla
ture, was barely announced in The TELE-
GRAPH last week We copy from the
Madison Journal some of the most promi-
nent items of Legislative interest =
'The session has been one of the short
est on record, a little briefer than that
of last winter, which began SIX days earl
ier and closed two days sooner. The bus
mess, however, has been pretty complete
ly and carefully disposed of, no bill be-
ing left Enacted on.
Notwithstanding the distracting excite
ment in regard to the election OF United
States Senator which was one of the most
important duties to which the Legislature
was called, and the interruption of the
session by the Minnesota visit, about as
much business has been transacted as at
last session. The volume of general laws
will be somewhat larger, and OF local laws
nearly as large as last year.
Among the most important measures
which haye been carried out are: the
ratification of the suffrage amendment to
the United States Constitution the pro
posed amendment to the State Constltu-
ton authorizing the abolition of the grand
Il jury, the increase of the number OF SUI
preme Court judges to five, the increase
of the salaries of the Governor to So, 1000,
and the Lieutenant Governor to $1,000
the establishment Of the township system
of school government; the codification OF
the laws relative to highways and bridges
normal schools, and strays; substantially
repeating the law DISTINGUISHING deserters
to provide for statistics for state and coun
ty boards of assessments authorizing the
Secretary of State to levy additional taxes
to those provided for by law, in order td
meet existing appropriations. Liberal
appropriations have been made for the
State institutions, amounting to about
$275,000, among them 100000 to the
Hospital for the Insane; $53,500 to the
Soldiers Orphans Home, $4,000 to the
State Prison $4,000 to the Reform
School; $4,000 to the Institute for thu

Deep Snow in New England.

The snow appears to have fallen to an
unusual depth in some portions of the
east, especially in Vermont and Maine. A
Maine paper of late date says:
"The depth of snow in the woods of
Maine is almost unprecedented at this
season Of the year. In many places it lays
seven feet deep on level. The Bangor
Wing says some of the gangs of lumber
men, in starting to come out, have found
it necessary to put their horses upon large
&leds, to be drawn over the drifts by men
upon snow shoes. 1t has been impossible
in some sections to get supplies to the
camps, and consequently operations are to
some extent suspended.
Among the accidents resulting from the
great fall of snow in Maine, it is stated
that the Congregational Church at Wilton
on the 18th inst was crushed fiat, by the
great weight of snow on the roof Moth
ing of value was saved but the library.

would be interpreted to mean that
the war did not settle anything but
the relative power of certain mass
es of men that reconstruction as it
has progressed ander Congress has
fixed no precedents TO be respected
and recognized as law and fact Z;
that the public securities may be
swamped in new issues of paper;
that we are to so through again
with all the confusion and danger
Of the last five years, aggravated by
new irritalions and elements OF dis
cord; that as nothing was settled
but the relations of military forces
by the war, and nothing by Con
gress, since the war, there is to be
no peace, but fierce agitation and
bitter controversy that shall disturb
all industrial pursuits, shake public
faith, impair values and excite
alarms, all beyond calculation dis
astrCus.
1t is as the representative Of re-
dictionary principles-as a protest
against all that time and events
have done to make the jarring sec
tions harmonious nation-as a
prospective candidate for the Pres
idency coming forward now in a
period, it was thought, ofpopular
weariness, Indifference or distrust,
with the disciplined legions Of the
old Democratic party behind him,
to challenge the Republicans of
Ohio once more to the combat, and
test their capacity in this State in
which they have SO long held sway

MIR. Pendleton can not be oppos-

one in this community speak i'll of
him as a gentleman in private life,

GoULD's LAMENTATIONS.

Week after week the sore.headed
editor of the Register keeps up a
senseless howl about high taxes,
and a change of county officers IN
order to make low taxes. 1t is
true our taxes are high, but it was
not the county officers who made
the aggregate Of our taxes what
they are It was the people them
selves--it was their own voluntary
acts. 1t must be remembered that
the people OF this county have, BY
their own voluntary acts, undertak
Ell q most magnificent system Of
road making in our county, and the
taxes are self-imposed
Again, it requires more money
to run any kind Of machinery now
than it did ten years ago. Can our
neighbor buy his paper at as low
figures as he could then? Can he
hire his workmen at the same price ?
Can he get his rents as cheaply?-
If he can, he can do more than any
body else can. Well, the result Of
this is, that he has to charge high
er prices for his WORK than he did
ten years ago, So in every depart,
mcnt of business. So in running
the machinery of governments
County, State and National. And
yet the people are just as able, and
more SO, to pay their bills for labor
aud their taxes as they were ten
years ago. You can not, and you
do not hire man to do a days
work for the same price you could
ten years ago. Why? Because
his bread and meat and every arti.
Gle Of produce from the farm sells
at higher price. u.r. ..a
Yet, because of this fact, our
seeks to convict the men,
to whom the people OF our county
have intIusted special positions, Of
criminal offences against the legal
and moral institutions Of the coun-
ty and in his sehscless babbling
calls out for a change. This mis-.
erable, dimsy hypocrisy, this hol
low, senseless twaddle about
change scarcely rises in the escale of
yillainy to the contemplate. This
most unblushing impudence, this
lrainless reliance upon tho igno-
'ance ofan intelligent, honest peo
lie, is pardonable only in Gould,
1pon the admitted fact that con
imbocility is misfor
une for which the poor fellow is
not to blame, II is one Of those
oycr-ruling proyidences over which
Gould has no control, and lie is,
an object of pity more
than censure.
