pa rtIcularly the Cincinnati Enquirer,
warmly endorse General Butler's 6nan-

Cabinet.
One OF the very first of Gen. Grants
official acts as President, there is good
reason to believe will be to order Sher-
idan to the command Of the Depart

a careful canvass of the Senate shows
that that body will not repeal the Ten
ure of once Act. It may be- amended

resist the opportunity to try filling
