SCARE-CROW RUMORS.

From The Spriagfeld RtpnlIIclh
Though The EUening Post gives currency to
the scanda-which absurd enough to have originated
i'm The NcW- York TimeS-that Mr.. Greeley would put
Tweed and Sweeny and Hall and possibly jeff Davis
into his Cabinet IL has discretion enough left not TO in
dorse it, IL ITSELF for the present. with ryin

eye that IL will be impossible to keep Mr.. FentOn out
OF the Cabinet, If Mr. Greeley has the opportunity TO
make one. Now The EUening Post ought 20 know, quite
as well the rest OF that the practices OF our Presi
dents have established 1t rule that Cabinet Minis
ter is not to be taken from the same State in which
the President himself resides, aud that instead OF its
being impossible to keep Mr. Fenton out OF the Cabinet
Is practically impossible for him To be put in. The
state objection alone would be fatal. without that,
public OPINION which nobody understands more inelli
gently respects wisely than Mr. Greeley, would
settle Mr. Fentons ambition, II he foolish as to
indulge in this matter We confess to some anXletes
concerning Mr.. Greeleys administration, but that Mr.

no Republican supporting Greeley save IN hali dozen
counties This It paraded with great flourish, claiming
two Democratic votes TO every Republican who left
Grant and supported Greeley. Having made out such
good for itself, would suppose that The Times
would have rested there But somehow the people Of
the State manifested wonderful disposition not to
believe those statements. Greeley Republicans would
stick their heads up in localities where The Times de-
cared there we're none defiance of its state
ments. This became universal that a new review
became necessary The result is nearly whole page
devoted to this subject again. This time, instead
of Greeley Republicans in only six or seven
counties they are detected in nearly every county.
