There IS very good authority for the state
ment that, in conversation of General Grants
the other evening, at his residence, he smark-
ed that he had made up his mind upon his
Cabinet, but that as yet the persons whom ne
should invite to accept positions had been
piven no int,mations of his intentions. Mis-.
Grant remarked, '.That is more than you have
ever told me. General" he answered, "fes,
more than I have ever told any one yet." A
pu,nber Of feelers were then thrown out, but
all failed to elicit any blnts upon that subject.
A Washington letter to the Baltimore ia
zette says while there is great uncertainty
prevailing as to who will and who will not be
invited into General Grants Cabinet there ls
good authority for saying the Cabinet when
formed will include Southern man. This has
been pretty definitely settled, though 1t Is un-
cer,ain what department Of the government
NAV be entrusted to his keeping. The gentle
man now in General Grants eye is one OF the
most distinguished jurlsts of the country. and
one whose ability and experience would well
ct him for any station to which Le may be as
signed. 1t is also believed that General Grant
has determined upon the other members OF
his Cabinet but will not mako knownhis cholco
even to the gentlemen themselves until alter
the Presidential vote has beeu counted and be
has been officially notified OF his election.
Considerable comment IS made on the
unan,mity with which the House passed tho
constitutional am.ndment guaranteeing the
right OF suffrage to the negroes North as well
as South. A Washington telegram says: "Ihls
action, it will have beon observed, was clearly
in the teeth of the Chicsgo platform, by which
the rcople OF the Western States were cheated
ont of their yotes 1t would ecen gel be unsafe
to predict tho fate Of this movement in the
Senate. I this morning closely wat he'd the
public and private signs, and should be lnclin-
ed 10 tho belief that the measure would iali,
Ihad not 80 often been deceived in reference
to the firal acton of tho men now relied upon
fer it's defeat. The Same leraark is applicable
to the States which have heretofore voted down
negro suffrage. Tho haIlucination which seems
to have taken full possession OF the 1oiP mind
about IL negro will have to como to the po,It
of downright deriun before anv healthy roac-
tion can take place. A leading Radical dec,ar-
ed tonight that the States uf Ohio and Mich!-
gan would at this moment reverse their for
mer vote if an opportunity could be afforded
them"
The Hanlon Brothers have opened new
yolcoipede institute in New York. Thus tho
Herald describes 8 tme remarkable riding /:
"Once the entire floor wac cleared, and Mr..
Frederick Hanlou entered the ring on the
back ot o velocipede. He tell, also, but it ap-
peared more as il he desired only to expert
mept upon the floor. to see low hard man
may fall without hurting himsslf One of the
yelocipeles he used was broken, but there
seemed to be any quantity IN reserve and pre-
pa1ed for his evoiutions. In truth it must be
sa,d that MIR. Frederick Haulon used this two
wheeled instrument as any experienced circus
rider would horse He cajo.ed it, and 1t
went like blazes;' he sat upon it crcssWlse and
endw1se; he worked 1t with h.slegs, and then
he didn't work it ut oil, and it went still; no
stood upon it, he knelt upon it, he passed be-
tween two chairs and took them up and ba!anc-
ell th,nl, aud sill he went On. He went up an
inclined plane at an anglo Of fort, live dcSr' es
