THE CABINET-wHY J. F. WILSON Is NOT IN IT.
New YORK, March 6-The Tribune's dis
patch says the President is severely criticised
by oficious Republicans in Congress for not
having appointed the Hon. James E. Wilson
of Iowa, 20 position in the Cabinet. It may
be interesting to know that it is not General
Grants fault that Mr.. Wilson is not to-day a
Cabinet officer. He was rendered the Attor-
ney Generalship. and upon declining that was
offered his choice of two other departments,
which he also declined. He prefers to return
to private life and the practice of his profess
sion.
Mr.. Adolph e. Borie, the new Secretary of
the Navy, arrived here to-day, and has been in
consultation with the President this evening.
He expressed desire not to accept the posi-
ton rendered him, but Gen. Grant and his
friends insist that he shall.
THE STEWART EMBRoGLIo.
Mr.. Stewart, after the fullest consultation
with the President and the principal officers of
the government, including Senators and Rep
resentatives, has prepared q letter of uncondi-
tional resignation of the Office of Secretary of
the Treasury, and has also, by the aid of coun-
sci, drawn articles of assignment in accord
ance with his previous propositions to the
President, and he will tomorrow submit the
same to Gen Grant for acceptance of either

President and Cabinet, and it is supposed will

SPAIN.

MADRID, March 9.-There was a stormy de-
bate during the session of the Constituent
Cortes yesterday. The Republican members
made bitter attacks upon the ministry for their
alleged monarchial proclivities They demand
that the Duke of Montpensier be Invested of
his rank of Marshal of Spain, and accused the
Provisional Government of endeavoring to
smuggle him into the country for the purpose
of placing him upon the throne. Gen. Prim
replied that the Duke could not with JUS
tice be deprived OF his title Of Marshal
Admiral Topete, Minister of Marine, amid
great excitement, declared that kingdom
with Montpensier on the throne was pre- fera-
BILE to a republic. Marshal Se1ano made a
calm and dignifed speech, defending the Pro-
visional Government from the attacks of the
Republicans, and asserting the sovereign au-
thority of the Cortes, and insisting that the
discrimination of a form OF government for
Spain, and the choice of her future ruler should
be left to the. Cortes alone. He deprecated
the violent pressure brought to bear upon the
Cortes by the Republicans as impolitic and I'M
fair. In the course of the session Senior Fl
guerola, Minister of Finance, expressed him.
self in favor of free trade, and advocated an
immediate but gradual reform in customs by
the adoption of compromise tariff.
