There Is very good authority for the state
.ment that, in conversation of General Grants
the other evening, at his residence, he remark
ed that he had made up his mind upon his
Cabinet, but that as yet the persons whom he
should invite to accept positions had been
given no intjmations of his intentions. Mrs.
Grant remarked, ''That is more than you have
ever told me, General" He answered, 'sYes,
more than have ever told any one YETI A
number of feelers were then thrown out, but
all failed to elicit any hints upon that subject.
"A Washington letter to the Baltimore Ga
zette says: ''While there is great uncertainty
prevailing as to who will and who will not be
invited into General Grants Cabinet, there is
good authority for saying the Cabinet when
formed will include Southern man. This has
been pretty definitely settled, though it is un-
cerlain what department of the government
may be entrusted to his keeping. The gentle
man now in General Grants eye is one Of the
most distinguished jurists Of the country. and
one whose ability and experience would we'll
fit bin for any station to which he may be as
signed. It is also believed that General Grant
has determined upon the other members Of
his Cabinet, but will not make known his choice
even to the gentlemen themselves until after,
the Presidential vote has been counted and he
has been officially notified Of his election"
considerable comment is made on the
unanimity with which the House passed the
constitutional amendment guaranteeing the
right OF suffrage to the negroes North as well
as South. A Washington telegram says: "This
action, it will have been observed, was clearly
in the teeth of the Chicago platform, by which
the people Of the Western States were cheated
out OF their votes. 1t would euen yet be unsafs
to predict. the fate Of this movement in the
Senate. I this morning closely watched the
public and private signs, and should be inclin-
ed to the belief that the measure would fail,
II had not 80 often been deceived in reference
to the final action of the men now relied upon
for it's defeat. The same remark is applicable
to the States which have heretofore voted down
negro suffrage. The hallucination which seems
to have taken full possession Of the sloi' mind
about the negro will have to come to the point
Of downright delirium before any healthy reac-
tion can take place. A leading Radical declar-
ed tonight that the States Of Ohio and Michi-
gan would at this moment reverse their for
mer vote IL an opportunity could be afforded
them"
The Haulon Brothers have opened new
volocipede institute in New York. Thus the
Herald describes s>me remarkable riding /:
"Once the entire floor wac cleared, and Mr..
Frederick Hanlon entered the ring on the
back OF velocipede. He fell, also. but it an.
.peared more as IL he desired only to experi-
ment upon the aoor, to see how hard man
may fall without hurting himself One OF the
velocipedes he used was broken, but there
seemed to be any quantity in reserve and pre-
pared for his evolutions. In truth it must be
said that MIR. Frederick Hanlon used this two
wheeled instrument as any experienced circus
rider would q horse. he cajoled it, and 1t
went like blazes;' he sat upon it crosswise and
endwise; he worked 1t with his legs, and then
he didn't work 1t at all, and 1t went still; he
stood upon it, he knelt upon It, he passed be-
tween two chairs and took them up and balanc-
cd them, and still he went on. He went up an
