A New Cabinet.

General Grant needs a new Cabinet, reor-
ganized from the ground up. If he should
call us to name one we should first name Nor
ton for Secretary of State, because he is a
friend Of the President, sound American,
and an extreme radical For Secretary of
War we should nominate George B. McClel-
Ian, because he understands the duties Of or
ganizing armies and everything else connected
with war, and because he is liberal republi-
can, clothed in war democratic robes. For
Secretary Of the Interior we should unhesitat-
ingly insist upon Horace Greeley, because his
knowledge Of farming brought to bear in the
Interior Department will save the country its
present expense for Bureau of Agriculture
Besides, Mr.. Greeley, being peacemaker by
profession and astride- -the-fence republican
will cement the party in New York if he is
Immediately called away TO Washington or
some other distant spot. For Postmaster
General and Attorney General nearly any
man will do. 1t is better, however to name
some one who is otherwise cut Of offce-say
Alexander Mcclure, OF Pennsylvania, or Judge
Speed, of Kentucky. But for Secretary of the
Navy our favorite is Ben Wade That ag-
gressive old chief of the republican party is
the only man in the country that can be relied
on to do the work that Welles and Borie and
Robeson have left undone. 1t is only Ben
Wade who can holystone the decks of the Navy
Department to the clear whteness Of an ordi-
nary man -of-war or ever scrape the barnacles
off the hull of our naval system.

SPEAKING OF CABINETS, the following
Cabinet might not possibly be endorsed by
the entire republican party; but, as that party
is divided, it may be necessary in order to
create harmony to give each division "a
show in its reorganization. Then, as O
stroke of policy, it might be well to let the
democratic party have hand in, and as
the offices of Secretary of State and
Secretary of the Treasury are of some
Importance, let the sop be thrown in a
democratic direction. Thus, with allowing
the President to select one of his advisers,
he might succeed in making power
full party composed Of contending elements.
The following is list For Secretary of
State, Vallandigham, of Ohio; for Secretary
of War, Ben Butler, OF Massachusetts, for
Secretary Of the Navy, man that knows some
thing about ships; Secretary of the Treasury,
Bill Tweed or Jim Fisk; Secretary of the Inte-
rior, Horace Greeley, of agricultural fame;
Attorney General, Charles Sumner and Pest
master General, Pat Jones.

A Power Grown Up In the State Greater
Than the state Itself.

ROVER UrOWn Up In tne stare Urenter
Than the State Itself.
Such was the expression of Governor
Palmer, of Illinois, in his message to the
Legislature on the 4th of this month. The
Governor was referring to the control of the
railroad corporations of the State, and in that
connection made the above remark, saying,
however, that to say the State has not power,
acting through the appropriate legislative
department as determined by the constitution,
to control the management of railroad corpo-
rations, is to assert there has grown up
power greater than the State itself. He be-
lieves the State has the power to regulate the
rates imposed by railroads as common car
riers, so as to prevent extortion, oppression
or unjust discrimination against or in
favor of localities or individuals, or
to investigate their management and pre-
vent the employment Of vast sums of
money under their control for purposes of
corruption. No doubt the separate States
have this power over railroads within their
limits, and we believe the federal government
has similar power over the great lines that
run through the different States under the
clause Of the constitution that gives it power
to regulate commerce among the several
States. These railroad lines are as much the
arteries of commerce among the States as the
great lakes, the rivers or the sea ceast But
what is the use Of talking about State govern
ments controlling the management Of raH-
roads? The railroad magnates can buy up
almost any Of the State legislatures or gov
ernments. The railroads are really power
greater than the State itself. 1t is matter of
doubt even whether they cannot control Con-
gress or the government at Washington as
well. The time is coming, and not far off,
when the federal government will be called
upon imperatively by the people to protect
them from the exactions and tyranny Of the
railroad corporations and to control those
powerful institutions. Governor Palmer has
sounded the note that will awaken attention
and opposition to dangerous and overbear-
ing monopoly.

Grant, his administration and the republican

Grant, his administration and the republican
party.
Some such decisive diversion as this upon
our foreign and domestic affairs is needed to
divert Greeley from his mischievous agitation
of high protective tariff, and the poets of the
Post from their foolish fallacies of free trade !;
Sumner from his mumbo jumbo, his ''raw
head and bloody bones" of St. Domingo; Fen
ton from his old womanish spite against Col
lector Murphy; Trumbull from his fallacious
visions Of the White House by the side door
of third party; Gratz Brown from the
same halluclnation, and Carl Schurz from
his awful purpose Of selling out the
Western German republicans to Tammany
Hall. The policy we have indicated would
silence all these disturbing elements-all these
factious disorganizers and disappointed,
greedy politicians. And why not? Is it not
manifest that the democratic party is becom-
ing more united and stronger from day to day
as things are going on ; that the withdrawal
of Hoffman from the White House track has
restored democratic harmony between the
East and the West, and that State after State
down South is falling off from the republican
party and its ''scalawags" and carpet
baggers
The simple truth is that when great party
has fulfilled its appointed mission it must be
reorganzed for new departure or 1t goes
out and goes down. A new departure is
now demanded from the party in power,
and from General Grant as the official head of
liberal. decisive, go-ahead policy at home and
abroad, the best thing that General Grant can
do is to appoint new Cabinet. If only as a
tub to the whale new Cabinet will be some
thing; but the crisis demands something bet
ter than tub to the whale.

Music HALL, in Boston, was crowded to
its utmost capacity last evening with Catholics
anxious to express their sympathy for Pope
Plus and offer their services to him. The
meeting was very enthusiastic in denunciation
OF the usurpaton of the Italian King, and one
orator stated that two hundred million Catho-
lies were ready to do homage to the Pope with
their hearts and do him service with their
hands 1t may yet happen within the year
just opening before US, which has the near
precedent Of the one just gone for extraordi-
nary events, that the Catholics throughout the
wsrld may descend, like old Crusaders, upon
the home of their Pope, and drive the King OF
Italy aud his Italian followers forth from their
new found capital. II would seem even now
that IL needs only Peter the Hermit to blow
the spark of religious excitement into an un-
conrollable dame

Prinl's Murder.

Our special telegram report from Madrid,
by way of London and through the Atlantic
cable, supplies further detailed record of this
horrible tragedy its first results and concluding
consequences. The wounds which were
inflicted on the General by the assassins
caused him to sink rapidly, Notwithstanding
the fact that he was attended Immediately by
some seven surgeons Of eminence. Political
party feeling was obliterated for the
season in the COrtes by the sad occur
renee. The parliamentary leaders, as
will be seen by our special report,
paid feeling tribute to Prims memory, entirely
irrespective of the animus or remembrances
OF former and past debates. Sefora the
Madame Prim had just quilted the bedside of
her dying husband for moment when he
expired. The fixing of the exact second of
time of his decease gave rise to much discus
sion. The street scenes in Madrid during the
eventful night were wretched in the extreme.
The weather was intensely cold, and poverty
huddled itself in its rags by fires lighted at
some Of the corners. The Spanish Parlia-
Mens appears W nave peeh Completciy
equal to the emergency. Censtitutionalism,
in its essential seriousness, prevailed
over the temporary alarm of society. The in
habitants of Madrid commenced their prepara-
tions for the reception of the new King. Tri-
umphal arches were in process of construction
and the fstes of the morrow bade fair to cause
the citizens to forget that another ''proud son
of man" had been returned to EARTH" Yet
so it was, and so it is-''the gloom Of glory"
ON Earth.
