Cabinet Changes.

Attorney General HoAR resigned his Office
on Wednesday, and the President yesterday
sent to the Senate the nomination Of AMOS
T. AcKERMAS, Of Georgia, as his successor.
II would have been a compliment TO the
Precedent and TO his new Attorney General
to confirm the nomination at once, without
The formslty of referring it to a Committee I;
but as the Senate was as ignorant respecting
Mr.. AcKERMAN as the rest of the country To-,
they very properly deemed II necessary to in.
quiro before confirming him. They got
enough of blindly following Gen. GRANTS
lead when they confirmed A. T. STEWART as
Secretary Of the Treasury in violation Of
law.
Mr. AcKERMAN belongs TO that class Of
men for whom Gen GRANT has a prcdilcc-
tion. He was never heard of before; and
there ia no reason why he should be in the
Cabinet unless he has privately made Gen.
GRANT presents. He adds nothing to the
political strength Of the Administration and
1t lie a very poor compliment to Judge HOAX
10 select such man for his place.
The next thing in order is the separation OF
AR. FrsH from the State Department. ofcourse
he doesn't want to go but his wishes will be
overrulcd by imperious necessity. 1t is evi.
dent that BINGnAMs milk .and-water Cuban
resolution could not have prevailed in the
House yesterday had it not been understood
that Mr.. FISH would at once receive his
walking papers.
The country also demands the dismissal Of
Admiral PORTER and Mr. robson from the
Navy Department. This demand, however
Is somewhat mitigated by the reflection that
some more reckless busybody than PORTER
and some more Insignificant nobody thar
robson, might be put in their stead

Good Authority.

Some days since tho President in mes
cage TO Congress, in which he states his rea.
sons why tho St. Domingo annexation swim
die should DO sanctioned, enumerated
among others one which he said he had on
"good authority" namely, that if we did not
take the island some European power would.
lcttor addressed by tho President to the
Senate some days thereafter, in which he
gave his authority for this reason, was 30
supremely ludicrous that the reading of it
by the Clerk Of the Senate evoked shouts of
laughter.
On Monday last, in his Spanish message,
Gen. GRANT says: at is stated, on what
have reason to regard as good authority, that
Cuban bonds have been prepared to largo

upon tho recognition by the United States OF
s.ther Cuban belligcrency or independence"

peace between the Government of Spain and
the Republic ofCuba or after the overthrow
OF the authority Of the Spanish Government

recognition by the Government of tn,

Whatever may be said about the removal Of

The steamship Henry Chauncey from AS
pinwall is now some seven days overdue. In
asmuch as news has been received here that
the steamer Constitution, with which the Henry
Chauncey connected, was spoken at sea near to
Panama, and on time, it is probable that some
accident has happened to the Chauncey. An alb
surd report was spread down town yesterday
that the Chauncey had been mistaken at night by
aspanish irigate cruising of Aspinw all for the G..

The War Goes Bravciy On.

The gallant Gen. LOGAN Of Illinois has
also made q splendid speech in behalf of
Cuba. Like an experienced soldier, he car
ried the war into the enemy's camp. "once,"
he said, "there had not been q stronger adj
vocate Of Cuban independence in tho House

Massachusetts, (NIr. BuTLER); and now he
was on the other sido of the question, and

contrary to good faith. 1t was an act which

This was q square blow in BUTLER's face I;
but he took 1t without making any answer.
Then LOGAN dashed at him again. This
time LoGAN's attack was tremendous. CAS-
TO the argument" he said, that there was
no war in Cuba, he wanted to know what the
thirty Spanish gunboats that were allowed
to leave New York were intended forf Was

To this also BUTLER had no reply to make.
He was hit in vital part. He could not
deny or refuto the imputation.

In 1856 the British Government sent Capt.
JoHS PALLIsER TO America to run the boundary
line between the United States and the British
territory from Lake Superior westward to the
seacoast range Of mountains. This duty Capt.
PALLIsER successfully performed; but another
mission Of a less public nature which was in
trusted to him at the same time he failed in, and
SO reported to the proper Office in London. This
duty was to find in British territory passage
across the Rocky Mountains by which railroad
could be carried through to the Pacific. After
spending three years in that country, he declared
that he had not succeeded in finding such o
pass, but that he had proved that there was
no pass there, and that no pass could ever be
found. Such has also ever since been the i'm
preston Of those who have studied the subject !;
but now it is said that Mr.. WADswoRTH of Brit
ish Columbia has found pass and the only one
in existence, and that he proposes to build a
railroad through it provided he can have q sufil-
ciert grant of land on each side Of tho line. But
suppose he should get the grant and get his road
built will il pay The Northern Pacific will be
finished long before he can fairly get To work,
and after that road is done, another line on the
British side Of the frontier would be quite as un.
profitable as the Canadian railroads generally. if

Congressional debates on consular and d.
plomatic questions are often amusing. On the
subject of the proposed increase of the salary Of
the Consul at Vienna, Senator STOCKTON naively
remarked that Vienna was only few miles from
Trieste, and that our commercial relations with
Austria were mostly confined to the latter city
Trieste is over 400 miles by rail from Vienna, and
though seaport, has comparatively little business
with this country. AT Vienna, however, there are
many large exporting houses, which need consul
lar certificates for their invoices. But the idea
Of increasing the Consups salary is absurd. The
Consulate should DO altogether abolished, and
the business transferred to the Legation, to save
the Minister from the demOralizing effect Of hav-
ing nothing TO do.

A biography of DR.. SrRoUsBERd, tho
Prussinn railway king, has just been published,
froI which II appears that he is the owner Of
landed property in various parts of Europe
representing in the aggregate territory as large
as the kingdom of saxony. All this has been
acquired within the last eight years out Of rail-
way speculations, and the earnings of various
German, Hungarian, Roumanian, and Russian
lines projected by him. The territorial power Of
the fcudal barons and dukes was insignif-
cant in comparison with that Of the railway

Vice-Admiral D. d. PORTER, Regent Of the

sells Of war to the Cuban waters for the protec-
ton Of our citizens there, because the law allows
only 5000 scamen in the service, and these are
now all on board vessels in commission. Could
not the Frolic, the flag ship of the Port Admiral,
now lying OF Montague street, Brooklyn, be
spared from her present duty in this harbor and
be sent to Cuba for few monthsi She is doing
