Cabinet Changes.

Last week was marked by important changes in cabinet positions. Judge Taft leaves the War Department to become Att torney General in place of MT. Pierrepont; and Donald Cameron, son of the notorious Senator of that name, becomes Secretary of War in place of Judge Taft. In other words there is general shift, making room for the son of Simon Cameron, in the very department from which his fath- CT was compelled to retire in disgrace dur ing the war.
 President Grant has not generally been inclined to favor the house of Cameron, and it is supposed that he does so in this instance to further the chances of Senator Conkling for the Presidential nomination, who is to receive the votes of Pennsylva- mia. in addition to those of New York, in retNrn for the honor done the Camerons by the president.
 Of this appointment we have only to say. that it is disgraceful one. The Gamer ous are the Barnums of Pennsylvania, and worse. They are as corrupt and more powerful. They now propose to transfer the votes of the entire Republican dele gation sent from that state tv Cincinnati, to Mir. Conkling in the face of the fact that he is neither the first nor the second choice of the Republicans of that state. Luckily Simon Cameron controls only one of these United States. He cannot force the nomination of so deservedly unpopular man as Roscoe Conkling on an unwill- ing party.
 There was no trouble of course about the confirmation of Cameron in the Sen- ate. The men who rejected Richard H. Dana, Jr. voted for the younger Cameron without word
