The Times laments the fact that GRANT
has kept about him such a crowd Of rascals. and
that members VI ms Cabinet, OF whom II ex-
pectcd better things, have not dared to Offset
theif influence by courageous advice. The rea-
son why these last hold their tongues. or assist
GRANr Ia his plans for the protection OF the
thieves, Is that they are fOnGer OF Office than Of
honor. Ihey that when Mr. BRtsrOw fought

PONr and TAFT In turn have avoided going con
tr4ri to their masters wishes aud showing too
much zeal for the parity Of tue public service;
ana they have suffered themselves e. be usrd as

the pubic enemies. PIERREPoSr has got his
reward IN the ministry to England. but he has
lost his reputation. TAFT also viii 20 ont of
the Cabinet, unless he at once rebels, resigns,
