Mr.. judah P. Benjamin, formerly
United States Senator from Louisiana,
and Attorney General of the Confed-
crate Government, Is now admitted to
be the most famous advocate at the
English bar, and greatly improved in
manner and power since he went to
England. He is very eagerly. sought
for in all great cases, especially those
which involve questions OF foreign
and Of International law. A few
weeks ago he made q speech
on the question OF the liability
to the English criminal law OF foreign
seaman passing through English waters,
having left one alien port and bound to
another, which, whether the case be
ultimately decided in his clients favor
or not, will have gained him a reputa-
ton for power as pleader such as is
enjoyed by no English barrister. Mr..
BENJAMIN maintained that if his client
could be punished by English law for
an ofYense committed in English waters
while merely passing through, them,
then English sailors passing through
Spanisn waters might be seized, taken
ashore, and punished for hereey by
Spanish law. Since then Mr.. BENJAMIN
has been retained In several other I'm
portant cases in the British courts.

The secret of the changes in the Cabinet
had been well kept There had been ALSO
lately no intimation that they were in pros
meet. till the President sent the appoint
ments t, the Senate. They were at once
referred TO the appropriate committees, were
favorably reported on, without delay, and
were confirmed by the Senate without de-
bate, the whole business occupying less
than an hour. The changes will be various
IL received. The selection of Mr.. Pierre
pont as Minister to England, though less
happy than that Of Mr.. Dana, is, on the
whole a creditab.e one. Mr.. Pierrepont
has the intellectual ability and social cul-
ture to fill the position with dignity and
success. Going from the Cabinet, he Of
course understands the attitude of our gov
ernmcnt upon the diplomatic questions
pending Letween the governments Of the
intel States and Great Britain. lie Is
probably glad TO get out of the Attorney
Generalship, in which somehow, he docs not
seem to have won much addition to his rep
utatiou. The change Of Secretary Taft re
moves him from 4 sphere of duty where he
had everything to learn, to a post where his
preyious legal training Will be valuable. The
appointment Of Don Cameron 70 a Cabinet
position is more open to criticism. lie Is a
s,n Of senator Cameron, and has figured ex-
tensirciy in Pennsylvania politics, and it is
understood that his father has for some time
been cnGeayoring to get him into the Cabi-
net. OF course the appointment recalls his
fathers tenure Of tie Secretaryship Of War,
under Pre,iieut Lincoln, and the famous
political cartoon which represented Secre-
tiry Cameron IS sinking in a sea Of con-
tracts. The recollection does not make
halpy augury for the younger Cameron,
though it may not be just in his case that
the son should suffer for the father 5 sins.
Special political significance is attached to
this appointment from the rumor which at
tribute, it To Mr. Conklings influence with
the President, and the suppositior that the
consideration for the Senator influence is
t, be tie powerful support Of Pennsylvania
for Conklins in the Convention. Mr.. Don
AID Cameron is about forty-fye years old, a
man of energy and force, and heads the
PcnnsJ lyanil delegation to Cincinnati
We hear that Col. Mead's friends have
teen canyas-ing his chances, and will prob
ably press his name for Governor, before the
State Convention. They expect support for
him even from Windham County, and from
the Changers throughout the State Bat it
Is still question how far the Patrons of
IIusbandr,. as an order, intend 10 mix with
