John BroiUn ana the French
Communists.

The day will no doubt come, If it has
not already arrived, when all the people
of the United States will regard John
Brown in the true light of an incendiary
and criminal of the worst character. A
few Of the worst political characters that
the ninteenth century has produced still
cleave to and promulgate the idea that
old Brown was martyr, and this idea
has found its way to Paris, where re-
Gently gold medal has been procured
by voluntary subscriptions and forward
ed to William Lloyd Garrison, to be
given to Browns family. 1t bears the
following inscription:
"To the memory of John Brown. iudicl-
cially murdered in . larlestown, in Vir.
ginia, on the ID of December, 1859, and
in commemoration also of his sons anG
comrades, who with him became the vie
TINS Of their devotion to the cause OF ne
gro emancipation" The Baltimore Su,
commenting upon the inscription says
" 1t is fair to presume that the Frenoh
men who Join in this tribute are of IN,
bloody class called Communists, VIII,
think 1T very yirtuous to murder innCcen
prisoners, men, women and children, O

Cabinet Changes.

Attorney General Williams has alroady
Withdrawn from the Cabinet of General
Grant, and doubtless other designations
will soon follow. This is only the first
step it is thought towards general
breaking-up and reformation Of the Cabi-
net. The Postmaster General Cresswell,
got out in good; and has succeeded in in
stalling himself in several lucrative posi-
tions. Now Williams and Belknap are,
it is stated, each attacked with an itch
ing ambition for a seat in tho Senate
one as Senator from Oregon. the other
as Senator from Iowa. Robson also,
whose Senatorial ambitions were marred
by the election of Democratic Legisla-
ture in New Jersey last fall, is said to be
weary of the Cabinet and to be exceed
ingly impatient to return to the care OF
his much-neglected private affairs. De-
lano in chorus with the President is vain
ly endeavoring to whistle down the gale
of accusation and exposure which blows
upon him from every quarter where the
transactions of the Interior Department
are known. The necessity which has
compelled the resignation Of Williams,
and urges the resignation of Delano Is
an open secret. however carefully 1t may
be- yelled with thin pratext of the cheap
patriotism which in their cases pretends
to make the holding of Office an irksomt
task only performed from sense OF pub
lie duty. Williams leaves the Cabinet
because he dare not remain in it unit
the Democratic House of Representa-
tives of the next Congress has an oppor
tunity to investigate the affairs OF tn
Department of Justice. The Presiden
will do MIR. Williams the greatest favo
that is now in tho power of the Presi
dent to do him by accepting his resigna
tion and saving him from impeachment
In referring to the proposed Cabine
changes, the New York Sun, Of to-day
says:
Under the pretext Of putting dow
Ku-Klux and enforcing partisan law
made to order, millions have been stolei
and squandered, just as the contingen
fund of the Department OF Jusnce Wa
plundered to purchase landaulets an
maintain a retinue of servants Tor tn
use of the Attorney General.
As the opportunities were greater, 6
the scale of plunder in the Interior wa
enlarged. The open, fragrant, and dai
ing robberies of the Indian Ring, OF tn
Land Ring, and of the Patent Ring, foun
their protection in Delano, arouni whol
they all revolved. He collected his ,ow
family and confidential friends abos
him, so that this great department, wit
its vast power. patronage, and inhuene
has been run like close eorpofation +,
the profit of its stockholders, and will
out the least concern for the public II
terest.
Only few weeks ago, in the closiI
hours Of the late Congress, the Presidel
united with Delano in perpetratlng a
ception which will cost $4,000, eve
dollar of which will go into the pocke
Of the Indian Ring.
