testified of; and the splendid spirit of de-
votion of himself to his public trust, man.
ifested in the manner in which he offered
to qualify himself for it, furnished the
highest guarantee ever given--if measured
by the magnitude of pccuniary interests
sacrificed for it-in all the experience of
our Government, of all else desirable.
This re-opens the Cabinet question again
as to the Treasury, Attorney-Generalship,
and, perhaps, State Department; because
even President Grant will deem it mpor-
tant to have the Empire State represented
in his Cabinet. 1t is not necessary that
the President 60 out of N. Y. to find
Secretary of the Treasury; but gentle
man of Massachusetts has been fixed upon
by those whose opinion is to be respected
as the Presidents alternative. IF that an
ticipation should be realized, Judge Hoar
would resign the Attorney Generalship,
unless the President would consent to take
two gentlemen into his Cabinet from the
little, though very worthy, State of Mass
achusetts. But, again, if another State
than N. Y contributes minister for the
Treasury, will it not be in anticipation of
the resignation of Secretary Washburne
and determination of the President to
fill his place from N. Y? This might be
managed, as suggested, by inducing Judge
Hoar to resign for foreign mission, and
giving the Attorney Generalship, thus va
Gated, to Hon. Lyman Tremain of N. Y.
Bat the experience of Mcclure & Co.
doesn't furnish much encouragement to
make up a slate Of President Grant.
THE MISSOURI APPOINTMENTS.
On dit that Tuesday Senator Schurz, of
Missouri, with State delegation, called
upon the President relative to the Miss
ouri appointments The Senator acquaint-
ed the President with the object of their
visit stating it was their desire to recon- :
mend to him suitable persons for posi-
tions. The President replied that he had
already determined upon the appointments
for that State, and would send in the
nominations in the course of a few days.
Senator Schruz requested that the list be
shown them. to which the President
made no objection. The Senator did not
like the names, and suggested that certain
others be substituted for those on the list.
The President, however, declined to
change the appointments, remarking that
he kenw the people of Missouri better
than the Senator. - ''-sA
FOREIGN MISSIONS. % 9st
Mr.. Motley, the historian, is guessed
to be the most likely man, of all those
favorably thought of, for the Ministry to
England. Mr.. Motley, orany other man,
can be better spared out Of the country
than Horace Greeley otherswise believe
President Grant and Secretary Wash
burne both would offer DR.. Greeley that
mission. Regardless of Mr.. Greeley,
wouldn't it be better to send Mr.. Motley
to some first-class court on the Continent,
and leave England to some other gentle
men who may not be familiar with any
language but his yernacular?
