The Evening News of May Esd. says:

The Evening News OF May 23d. says:
II has become almost proverbial that Presi-
dent Grant is fond Of furnishing the country
with surprises. The country awoke this morn
ing to find that we have . minister to fill Mr..
Schencks place, not only nominated but con-
firmed, and that the cabinet has been partially
reorganized. In sending Mr.. Perrepont to
the court Of st. James, the president has Be-
lected man who Is well qualified for the
place, and whose appointment will give general
satisfaction, both in this country and in Eng
land. He will carry to the position a ripe
scholarship, wide experience with public men
and public matters, and a thorough knowledge
OF the principles Of international law. Added
70 this. there Is no probability that he will be
mixed up with any such transactions as those
which 30 crippled Mr.. Schenck's usefulness.
The OILY objection that can be found against
the appointment lies in the fact that the SEN
ate so promptly confirmed the nomination.
Endorsement by any body Of men guilty Of
such conduct as that which characterized the
Senate in the case OF Mr.. Dana, is in itself a
suspicious circumstance. But one reason for
the acquiescence or Cameron and his followers
in the nomination is easily seen. 1t will be re
membeIed that, during the debate on MI.
Dana's nomination, Mr.. Cameron was reported
as Directing to the nominee on the ground
that he was lone of them id literary fell
lers." Now, beyond the fact that Mr.. Dana
wrote book, q good many years ago, he has
no more title or claim to being called "hterary"
than has Mr.. Pierrepont. Indeed, the tastes
and methods OF life of these two gentlemen
are much alike. There was, in the mere ex-
ternals Of the case, therefore, Q probability
that MIR. Pierrepont would be defeated. But
President Grant tried one Of his famous flank
movements on the Senate and succeeded. Ac-
companying the nomination Of Mr.. Pierrepont
as Minister to England was that OF Secretary
Taft, Of the War Department, to fill the va
csncy caused by the retiring of Pierrepont,
and Of Senator Cameron's son as Secretary Of
War. OF course, the old Pennsylvania Sena-
tor would make no opposition to any project
that would bring his son INTO prominent pub
lie Office. The result is that we have an excel
lent Minister to England, IN excellent Attorney
General, and Cameron for Secretary Of War.
The changes, 30 far as Pierrepont and Taft are
concerned, are dictated by well-considered
view Of the public good and the emergencies Of
the times. The appointment OF Cameron is a
yielding to the everlasting demands OF the
Pen nsylvania faction Of the republican party.
