CABINET MATTERS.
A special Cabinet meeting was held this
afternoon. 1t was entirely devoted to
the consideration Of the appointments to

expired, or are about to expire. No
diplomatic or other appointments of gen.
eral interest were under consideration,
and there was no reference whatever to
Southern matters.
NO VACANCIES OF ANY KIND.
Secretary Schurz has notified the heads
Of Bureaus Of the Interior Department
that during his administration Of its
affairs there will be no removals Of clerks
or other employees except for cause, and
no promotions except for merit. It will
therefore be useless Tor persons TO file pa.
perS soliciting clerical appointments or
promotion on merely personal or politi-
cal grounds, and in addition TO this Il can
be stated that there are at present no va.
cancies Of any kind to be filed.
DIPLOMATIC CHANGES FEW AND uNIM.

There ia good reason to believe that
very few, il any, diplomatic changes be
made at present; none Of very import.
ant character seems now to be contem-
plated.

nomination will be sent 10 the Senate
during its present session, to fll the va.
cancy on the Supreme bench. The most
influential recommendations from the
South for this position are said 10 be
about equally divided between ,Hershel
johnson and Ex-senator Joshua Hill, Of
Georgia, but tits as yet entirely uncer.
tain whether or not, Southerner will be
chosen.
