Especial telegram to the Dtspa.ch.l
WASHINGTON, March Is, 1873.
The new Government was sworn into
Office to-day at the White House, the cere-
mony being performed by Chief Justice
Cartier, of the Supreme Court of this dis
trict- The Cabinet meeting which followed
was of very brief duration. General Grant
got of 8 joke, and said the reason why the
session was short was because the members
were all green and had not yet learned the
the ways of Cabinet sessions.
Collector Casey is still here and will re-
main until he is confirmed by the Senate. II
is feared that the fight which will open when
the motion to confirm bis appointment is
made will reagitate the Louisiana question,
and thus prolong the session. There Is no
doubt, however, Of Casey being confirmed.
The appointment of ex-senator Sawyer to
be Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
creates some decentralization in the Depart
ment, as the subordinates were strong In the
hope that the spirit Of the civil-service re-
form would have been recognized by the
choice of some one already in that branch of
the Government service. TIaoN.
