of an article which bears all the marks OF
very careful consideration, utters it's judg-
ment as follows:
I'VE have NO doubt, inaseS t1s, c,nI scMySz and
and influences OF Mr. nAYKse Cabinet and We believe
itis quc hkey aiso that NtRsuALL JEWhLL WI we 2e
wish there was as much reason to think ths. he would
thst he would choose them II he had the chance"
II Is not our wish to disturb any OF
the pleasing illusions OF Mr.. BowLEs look
ing to events in the very doubtful con-
tiugenoy of Gov. HAYES election to the
Presidency. We had supposed, indeed 1t
was declared by the Fifth Avenue con-
clave that the independent voter would
only support candidate whose qualities
In themselves were the guarantee of good
administration. But now it would seem
that the Cabinet is to be our ark OF safety,
and not the Chief Magistrate. A slight
common-sense examination Of Mr..
BowLEs's foreshadowing will show the
fallacy Of such notions.
With all our respect for Mr. SCHuRz,
we should see him Secretary Of state with
a sad regret. He is not of tho style or
stamp OF mind to add dignity or stability
to our foreign policy and intercourse.
But on this point we have no anxi-
ETY.. There are conditions peculiar to the
construction of Cabinets. Suppose Gov.
HAYES to be President and Mr.. SCHURz
to be nominated for Foreign Secretary,
there is yet concurrent jurisdiction to
which the choice must be referred. We
need not remind any intelligent observer
that the majority OF the Senate is now,
and probably will he, not Republican mere

carpet -baggers from the Southern States,
hasten to yield the approval Of their sweet
voices TO such an appointment Will the
Democratic Senators be importuned togive
their votes to Mr.. ScHURz after his ambigu-
| Gus action In connection with the nomiua-
! ton of Mr.. TIIDESi We may conceive that
unlikely things may happen; those impos-
sible are beyond expectation. Nor can
Mr.. BrIsTow have any better promise of
jury verdict from the senate. OF all per-
sons now in the public mind, he IL the most
hated by the men of GRANTS Administra-
ton, both in Senate and House. Mr.. HAYES
may have partialities for him AS for Mr..
SCHURz, notwithstanding the latter
sneered at him at the Fifth avenue
conference; but that they will be per-
mtted by the party 10 sit ut the council
table and shape the whisper Of the
throne. is out of the question. Mr.. HAYES,
if President, is TO take for his heads OF
departments. not his personal friends and
| favorites, but the selected OF his support
ers in the Upper House; and painful as
may be his embarrassment, lie takes tho
offioe, II he succeeds in gaming it, with all
| Of these hard conditions aud annoying en-
| tanglements.
We cannot say that transhgured view
OF Mr.. JEWELL again in the Post Office De-
partment warns our enthusiasm That he
was not an utter failure when there, is only
because he was the successor OF CREswELI.
Such Postmas ter q enerals IA he made
can be plucked from every bush in n

Col. BENTON OF rival, why, he
never originated a respectable humbugl"
| Nor did Mr. JEWELL in his official capacity
ever rise to the pretensions of a substan-
tial reform. Beyond cutting of the annual
six-bladed cutlery OF RoGERs from the
unresistIng clerk, what has he done in

played since the days OF fig-leaf costume.
The country does not hunger for any of
these men, nor are they to "darken
counsel with words in any immediate
Cabinet. There is n stern and solemn pur-
pose among the people. They do not wish
restoration, but change. The surest and
most certain enemies of the Cincinnati
nominee are the idle hands and the
pinug stomaohs of the laborer aud
artisan. The appeals of starving wives and
famishing children will have force of inn
pulsion TO the voter beyond the thoughts
of Centennial glory and the slogan of
GRANTS tramps, inviting renewal and
continuance of misgovernment and cor
ruption.
