New York, March 6.-The Herald
says of the new cabinet: We see In thi;
new Cabinet that Grant has given the
managing Republican politicians 6
wide berth; that he has chosen hi;
men for business, and as his subordi.
mates, and with the remotest idea tha
they are to be his masters or his Co
equals in the administration.
The Tribune says the Cabinet means
business emphatieally; each man was
chosen by General Grant expressly tC
aid him in carrying out the programme
of economy and integrity In the in
, augural.
The Times says the Cabinet, as
whole, will not commend itself to the
! favor of politicians, because it ha
not been taken from their ranks, no
are the men who compose it sufficient
ly well known to the public at largt
to command in advance the full con
2 tidence of the community, but in the
very freshness of its character, in tn,
fact that its members are business
men rather than politicians, and art
: likely to make the practical interests
OF the country their first care, we Sc,
+ ground for believing that the Cabine
will by its practical working vindicatt
the wisdom of its selection.
The HOrld says Grant has mad
such a Cabinet as no politician would
have advised; such Cabinet as NJ
8 newspaper could have conjectured;
Cabinet which fills his political OF
ponents with wonder, and his polltlca
E friends with suppressed dismay. L
5 derides the appointments, and say
: not one of them has ever been know
t IN the councils Of the nation.
