Mr.. STEWART As GEORGE PEABoDY-AN
IMMENSE HOTEL For WORKING WOMEN TO BE
ERECTED IN FOURTH AvENUE.-Mr. Stewart
proposes to erect homes for the workingmen
and women of New York, and already ground
has been broken for the foundation of one
Of these institutions. 1t is to be erected on
Fourth avenue between Thirty-second and
Thirty-third streets. This spot has been
cleared of oil old buildings, and for week
past men hsve been at work digging out
old stones and cellars preparatory to the
work for the new structure. 1t contains
twenty-five lots, for which Mr.. Stewart paid
about $4,000 apiece two years ago, and ex-
tends the whole distance between Thirty
second and Thirty-third streets-198 feet,
running back 2O5 feet.
On this square magnificent building is
to be raised, iron, ire-proof, seven stories
high, and INTELLECTUALLY finer than any
other structure in the city.
This will be the working women's hotel.
Here sewing girls, feminine clerks, hard
working women Of every trade, are to be
provided with board and room for the
smallest possible sum, and the house is to be
managed in the best manner. The ground
floor may be let out for stores, the proceeds
to be applied to the building of other SINH
lar institutions. The entire cost of the
hotel will be about 81 100000. The ediice
will not be completed in less than two years.
1t is understood that Mr.. Stewart also pro-
poses to put up, in time, workingmen's
hotel on the same plan.-Ne,o York Sun.

The MAN ON HORSEBACK IN sIGHT.-A
Washington letter says: "The order of
General Sherman designating his staff ex-
cites considerable comment, not only in
army but also in other circles here. For
the first time in the history of this Govern
ment the military commander of the army
has taken the heads Of the several bureaus
of the War Department and made them
members Of his general staff. Heretofore the
acknowledgement, inspector-general, quar-
termsster- general, etc., have been under
the direct orders of the Secretary Of War,
and the general commanding the armies has
had his own separate and distinct general
staff. But General Sherman has placed them
under his own complete control, and thus
made perfect military consolidation, for
all orders to the quartermaster- general, ad-
jjutsnt-general, or other head of War De-
partment bureau, must pass through the
general Of the army, and the Secretary of
War is thus left but with little power, con-
troll, or authority. In fact he is mere
fgure-head-an official with title, and
not much else. The fact, too, that General
Sherman has located his headquarters in the
War Department excites some comment"

President Grant on Saturday last re-
moved all the Union Pacific Railroad COM
missioners except Mr.. Williams. Frank
Blair and Mr.. Snow were among those re-
moved, and ex-Congressman Dodge, of
Iowa, is understood to be one of the new
appointees. aa
At the Senate caucus Wednesday it was
determined to elect Senator Anthony, of
Rhode Island, on Tuesday next, as Presi-
dent pro tempore Of the Senate, to preside
in the case of the absence of the Vice-Pre-
sident, and to have new election of off
GERS of the Senate on Monday next.
The Supreme Court of Massachusetts, or
dered the trustees of Jackson's will to pay
the balance of 5000 to the New England
branch of the American Freedmen's Union
Commission, and Wendell Phillips and
others of the trustees refused to pay S., 600
of the fund, insisting upon keeping it to be
used in efforts to secure the ballot for the
negro. They were therefore removed.

Tho New Cabinet Complete.


Yesterday the President communicated
to the Senate the following nominations
H,xr1ros FISH, Of New York, to be Score
tsry Of State General RAWLINGS, Score
tary Of War; and E. B. boutwell,, OF
Massachusetts, Secretary Of the Treasury.
Mr.. FisH is lawyer Of distinction, OF
New York city, and has held tho ofhces OF
Lieutenant Governor and Governor OF the
State of New York. He is an improvement
upon Mr.. WAsHsURSE (whose health was 80
infirm as to render him unable to discharge
the duties Of the ofhce), but is not quite up
to the standard Of MARCY and WRIGHT. who
in past days did honor to their State by
their brilliant services In the National
Government. Mr.. FISH will, nevertheless,
make very capable Secretary Of State
He WAS in former days Wing Of the stamp
Of WASHINGTON HUNT, and FILLMORE, and
is now conservative Republican and
very clever gentleman.
General RAWLINGS succeeds General
Scuor1ELp, who it is understood preferred
to return to his command. General RAW
LrSes is TO General GRANT what BLISS was
to old ZAcK. He is o man of talents, good
judgment, end ready and graceful writer.
From his quiet and modest department in
these days of effrontery and egotism, we
put entire faith in what we have heard,
that he is a considerate gentleman, pos
sessed Of very fine administrative abilities.
Mr.. boutwell,, of Massachusetts,, Is bet
ter known for his sharp policy towards the
southern people than for his earlier politi-
cal career, when he was Democrat on
principle, and rebuked the abolitionists as
laborers for the destruction Of their coun-
try. Leaving the halls of Congress, and
devoting himself to the executive duties of
the Treasury, he may forget some of the
bitter feelings Of the war and relapse, to
some extent, into the gentler sympathies
that animated him in other days. Massa-
chusetts hos two members Of the Cabinet-
Messrs. HoAR and boutwell,. More than
her share. Perhaps she is taken to repre-
sent the whole of New England.
The Cabinet is now complete. 1t is very
fair-very conservative. 1t represents
several shades of opinion, and the majority
are not politicians at all. In Mr.. BOUT
WELL we have the Republican string
slightly frightened, 80 that it gives more
audible note but still it is kept harmoni
GUS and subdued by the strong bass of the
Cabinet organism. 1t is, in short, o very
fair exponent Of the peculiar views of the
Chief Magistrate.

The SECRET OF THE CAB1NEr.-How well
Grant kept the secret Of the Cabinet is
shown by story concerning Mr.. Borie, the
Secretary of the Navy. Mr.. Borie went on
to Washington to see the Inauguration of
the new President, but without the slightest
thought or desire Of call to the Cabinet.
He called on the new President on the
afternoon Of the 4th Of March, and found
Borie," said Grant, shave you come on,
too, to spy ont the Cabinet?" "Not at
ALL" replied Mr.. Borie, g. came only to
see you sworn in as President, and have

The following is the document which, as
we have stated elsewhere, Mr.. SUMNER pre-
sented to the Senate on Wednesday. 1t
