WARRINGTON, May Is, 1876.
The recent Cabinet changes BY which
Mr.. Pirrepont is transferred to the British
mission, Mr.. Taft to the Attorney General
ship and by which Don" Cameron succeeds
Mr.. Taft, and the promptness of the Senate
in confirming these changes, have occasioned
much discussion and como excitement in
official and political circles.
The Presidents supposed preference fol
Mr.. ConkliDg as his successor, the rumor
that Senators Conkllng and Cameron spent
last Sunday together in the country, and
the alleged ability of the latter to deliver
the Cincinnati delegation Of his State over
to Conkling. we're frequently instanced in
confirmation of the prevailing opinion that
! j. WAS move in the interest Of the New
York Senator, with the hope of overcoming
the advantage now generally conceded to
ex-Speaker Blaine. 1t is stoutly denied,
however; but the reasons advanced for dis
crediting the alliance do not appear to be
regarded as very convincing. While Re-
publicans almost unanimously admit the
Justice Of Pennsylv snis's claim to be repr. :
sented in the Cabinet, there is feeling OF
sturdy opposition among them to such
political trades as is involved in this al.
legged tri-partite agreement, and the high
position of the contracting parties (if true)
does not restrain the emphatic remon.
strances which are very freely induleed in.
Much indignation is manifested by Penn.
sylvanisns ss the assumption that their SEN
stor would become party to such ques-
tionsble proceeding, and that the delegates
chosen to represent their State and its
preferences at Cincinnati should be re-
garded in the light of merchandise to be
sold TO the highest bidder, or that it is held
to be at the disposal of any man.
But their independent action at Cincin.
natl will probably soothe these irate Re-
publicsns from the Keystone State and
demonstrate to all the injustice done the
delegation in harboring such suspicious
against their intelligence and manhood.
1t is written that "there is no rest tor the
wicked"-an admonition peculiarly appli-
cable to the pseudo reformers constituting
the majority of the House and the minority
Of the Senate The auction sale of the
Connecticut Senatorship is very distaste-
full subject Of conversation to them. Any
allusiOn to it or to the murder of unoffend-
ing negroes in Indiana by Democratic
Thugs or the butcheries of the Ku Klux
and White Leaguers of Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi is painful interruption to them,
as from their places in Congress, with fes-
lures irradisted with true sanity JUNCTION,
wringing their hands while contemplating
the ruin wrought by black Republican mis-
rule, and eyes rolling while struggling to
devise means to rescue the colored man
from the rapacity Of his radical oppresso
and hand him over to the tender mercies of
his Ku-Klux and White League protectors.
Just at this critical juncture, when every
device that an srrant and incursble hypoc-
racy can suggest are being resorted to re-
gain national ascendency. such reminders
of the hopeless character Of their effor ts
are exaspersting to the last degree.
The coup-d'etat of the pre-Adamic Will
liam Allen, the recognized apostle Of the
rag money madness, is accepted by Re
publican and Democrat as assuring the
al n< 20 <bn nf
the Cincinnati convention; and the over
whelmlng defeat of the Indiana Sons Of
Liberty and Knights of the Golden Circle
few weeks ago, deprives the Confederate
leaders and their Bourbon allies of any
hope from that quarter in favor Of the
martyr to be designated by the mourners
who are to assemble at St. Louis tor
that purpose.
The reports of the House committee
appointed to investigate the manage
ment of the late Freedman's Bank,
having q central office here and branch
offices in all the principal cities of the South
and Southwest, has been made, likewise
the report of the House committee desig-
mated to overhaul the management Of the
three commissioners at the head of the Dis
trct government, who were appointed by
the President with the appreciation OF the
Senate. While everyone admits that the
|scoundrels who robbed the poor and needy
|depositors Of their scanty savings should
be forced to make restitution, SO far as pos
|sible, and then expiate their crimes behind
the iron bars and doors of q penitentiary,
the sentiment Of indignant condemnation is
almost as universal against the men who
have used their official positions in censur-
ling and denouncing honorable men for the
base purpose of securing partisan advan-
|tage. In fact, both of these reports are 80
Indignantly partisan as the the minds Of
men saturated with the cruelties and i'm
|moralities of medieval politics could well
produce, and it is well understood that the
Democratic majority of the House will at
tempt to retrieve the fatal blunders of the
session and render their calling and cleo
(tion less uncertain, through the unscrupu.
pous faleehoods, misrepre sentations and
dark innuendoes that are to be embodied in
the reports of the thirty odd scandal propa-
eating committees.
A vast amount Of evidence has been
brought out in the government 1sane
Asylum investigation, for and against its
management. But the strenuous efforts
