VIII Senator Trumbull be Secretary of
Statp

Senator TRUMBULL of Illinois has been in
this city for day or two past. President
GRANT will arrive at Long Branch from the
West to-day. 1t is reported that the Office
of Secretary of State has been offered to Mr.
TRUMBULL and it is not improbable that
he is here either for the purpose Of accepting
1t or Of comforting with the President about it.
The appointment of such man as Mr.
TRUNDuLL would be novelty in the history
of Gen. GRANTS Administration. Hitherto
lie has avoided bringing into his Cabinet
men of prominence "a statesmen and politi-
Clans and has selected his official counselors
from the vast category of persons whom no
body ever heard of. Mr.. TRUMBULL, on the
other hand, is one of the most prominent
men in the Republican party. His talents
and his force Of character long since placed
him in the front rank in the Senate. He is
nn independent, incorporating states
man, who acts upon his own judgment and
Gdhcres to his own conscience. He was one
Of the small number who refused to yield to
the popular clamor for the conviction of An
DREW JOHNSON. AT that time he WAS rs
sailed with great yiruleuce by the majority
in Congress and in the Republican party at
large, But lie paid no attention to the war
made upon him and now it has not only
died away-.but he is everywhere regarded
with higher respect on account Of Lis con-
sciontious frmnoss IN that matter
This Characteristic of Mr.. TRUMBULL is
one that must have made President GRANT
hesitate for long time before determining
to invite him to lis Cabinet. Mr. TRUMBUIL
is emphaticGlly man who has opinions OF
his own, and no President can hope to have
his assistance unless there is q substantial
agreement between them as to the policy &c
be adopted. He can never become the bl nd
tool Of any superior; neither can he evel
agree to such hapha2ari and accidental
course as that which has been followed by the
Adm nistration hitherto in its foreign rcla
tons Tie acceptance of the State Depart
ment 10y Mir. TRUMBUGL would do much t.
revive the falling confidence of the people in
the Republican party, and would Civ,

The Tribune yesterday published n letter
addressed by Messrs. DENT and PAIGE of WASH
ington to u Mr.. DoniSGo RUIZ III which these
gentlemen express opinion that had certain
evcntualites occurred which did not occur, aud
had certain people been other people, which
they were not an uncertain amount of Cuban
bonds might have been negotiated by them
DESr and PIGE-in this city, some time last
summer. They say, for instance, that had Mr..
Ruiz had authority which he never had-to ne
gotiatc these bonds, and had belligcreut rights
been accorded TO Cuba, there would have been
no difficulty in the sale of the bonds at twenty
five cents on the dollar.
We have called upon Messrs. SourTEE Co.
and McsSrs HENRY CLEws d Co.. who are the
bankers through whom Messrs. DESr and PAGE
assert that the bonds could have been sold. Mr..
SoUrrER is in Europe, but his partners not
cognizant of any such arrangement; having been
entered into by him. From Mr.. HESET CLEws
we learn that Mr.. DESr called upon him some
time last summer, and made some proposition to
him for the negotiation of lot Of Cuban bonds.
We are authorized by Mr. CLEws to state that
he unhesitAtingly declined to have anything TO
do with it, So much for Messrs. DESr and
PAIGE.
The Tribune, however, on its editorial page,
deduccs from this letter that " the chief obstacle
to the negotiation of the bonds was the refusal
Of the Cuban Junta'-with whom, by the way,
Mr. RUE was never in any way Connected" to
pay brokerage to Messrs. SouTrER 4 Co. and
HRSRY CLEws & Co." This is evidently mis-
take on the part Of the Tribune The truth
probably is-and the Tribune hints at it in an
other place, where the editor says, MIR. Dent
is a brother n-law Of the Prcsideut'-that be-
cause Mr.. Dent was brother.in-lsw of the Pres-
dent, and would be apt to know whether the
autocrat of Washington intended to throttle
Cuba or to let her live, he aud his partner had a
right TO trade on this back-door information. and
wished 10 secure the call of ESQ, 000, 900 of
Cuban bonds at twenty-five cents on the dollar
This brother -in.law of the President is evidently
very much like CoRBIS, another brother-inaw.
