Our New Cabinet.

The legal objections to Mr.. Stewart as
Secretary Of he Treasury were such as
70 cause him to relinquish the position
and ia his stead the President has ap-
i,ointcd Hon George : Boutwell, of Mas.
sachusetts, u man well known to the pub,
lie ~ tile first Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, than whom few men are better
acquainted with the financial condition
OF the country or better qualified for the
Discharge Of the important duties of Sec
retary Of the Treasury
Mr.. Washbarne, Gen Grants first APP
pointmcnt to the Office of Secretary OF
State, having been transferred to Minis
ter to France, the place thus made va
cant mas been conferred upon Hon Ham
ilton Fisk, Of New \ ork The Chicago
Tribune thus notices Mr.. Fish in connec~
ten with his appointment:
MIR Fish has been long known as among
tile distinguished men of New York He is
b profession a LAWYER, but his large wealth
has made il unnecessary for him to practice
n.uch at the ban, and his life, except when
in public office Gas been rather literary
than professional. He was a member of
tie Legislature OF his native State-New
1ork-fnorc than thirty years ago was a
member Of Congress from 1913 to ls45 !:
wa~ chosen governor of the State in 1s4o :;
aud from 1851 To 1856 was Senator of the
United. States. The duties of these several
offires he discharged TO the satisfaction of
lis constituents, aud without a shadow OF
reproach ever resting upon MS name. So
long as the Wing party was in existence he
was an earnest Wing, and from the earli-
est organization of the Republicans he has
II yer warered in his allegiance to the
principles Of that party Mr.. Fish is of an
old New York family, his father having been
one ol its wealthiest and most distinguished
merchants and there is not, probably, in
that city man more universally respected
for his prahty, tablemshed name, and
HIGH social position than the Governor
lie i now about sixty years Of age"
Gen John \ Rawlins, Of Gaiena, IT,,
has been selected as Secretary of War.
Zen. Rawlins is one Of the invaluable
men Of the nation, and Gen Grant has
shown wisdom in his selection. The
balance Of the Cabinet remains as before

L0ngstreer.

General Grant has done the handsome
thing in appointing General Longstreet
Surveyor OF the Port of New Orleans
He was one of the greatest o. the rebel
Generals, who fought hard but fair. when
the rebellion collapsed he was the first OF
the rebel chiefs to give up the lost cause
and accept the situation without feserVa-
tions or unmanly blubbering When
Congress enacted the reconstruction laws
he promptly endorsed them, conceding
the power Of Congress to pass them, and
confessing to their fairness, wisdom and
necessity He cheerfully accepted
the doctrine of equal, civil and POI
litical rights for all men, irrespective
of color, and declared that the colored
citizens deserved those rights of the
Union party He wrote several powerful
appeals to his old exerebel compatriots
to abandon their "loss cause" and state
sovereignty dogma as impossible chimes
ras which could never be realised, and
give back their hearts to the old flag and
their allegiance to Union too strong to
be broken by internal or external and
he called on them to como forward and
Northern brethren.
General Longstreet proved nlmseiI the
.'noblest Roman" of all the rebels. He
was among the first whose politlcel disa.
bilities were removed by Congress, and
for nearly two years he has been fully
restored to all the rights of citizenship.
Last fall be voted for General Grant and
the Republican ticket We are glad the
President has remembered him in a sub
stantial way, for he was poor in purse,
though patriotic in spirit Chicago Tri-

MINING AT HAZEL GREEN One
hundred and fifty thousand pounds of
mineral was raised last month from the
mines of Crawford, Mills & Co., of Hazel
Green. This is an average of more than
6,000 pounds per day for working days.
The price of mineral during the month
averaged about S5S per thousand. The
months income from these mines was
500 But a pleasant thing to contem>
plate in connection with this yield, is
that the mines are constantly improving
by the opening up of new ground, and
the prospect is for much heavier income
In future. There are about 800 acres
belonging to this firm, all of which is
known to be rich mining grand, and is
drained by level 1t is an immense
fortune to the owners -Galena Gazette.
