The Cabinet.

=
The Cabinet officers named by PRESIDENT
HAYES are very decidedly moderate except
JOHN SHERMAN Secretary OF the Treasury,
O. whom, it appears, there is strong ground
Tor supposing that he concurs fully with
the conciliatory and conservative views OF
tho President. This should be inferred
from the fact OF his nomination. lie Ger
tainly understands the President as wen as
the President understands him, and would
not lie put in the Cabinet II opposing the
views and policy Of the inaugural. ~
DAVID NJ. KEY, of Tennessee (Post'nas-
,er.GencraD, is the first southern ConserSa-
1--WE nominated to Cabinet position since
the war. and President HAYES intends bis
nomination as an overture to the SCUM IN
dicatSve Of bis spirit of Cancellation. Judge
KEY through the war and since has oeen
with the South, and supported IILpES ana ma
HrxpH1cKs, but is well known to be a man
a, liberal and national sentiments. ,ast.
RICHARD NJ. THOMPSON, OF Indiana (Secre-
tary OF the Navy, is native OF Virginia;
was a HENRY Clay Whig, a well-known con-
gresham. who became Republican after
the war. He was for, MORTON for President
last July. possibly as an Indiana man. We
know little OF his public career since the
war, bat suppose that President HATEs's
selection OF him indicates that he is by no
means an ultra politician.
McCRAEY, OF Iowa Secretary OF WARY, is
an able man, and, being reputed as the first
to propose the settlement OF the presiden-
tial count by the Advisory Board, may be
ranked with the ''moderados !" amongst
Republicans.
OF EyAR1s (Secretary OF State) and
ScRuRS Secretary OF the Interior) every
body knows enough. They have been
known for their anti-Grantism, and Mr..
EyARTs has the renown OF being the liberal
and sagacious lawyer who represented the
Government in the case Of President DAVIS,
and also as the able defender OF President
JOHNSON when tried upon the prosecution
for impeachment.
For Attorney-General, Judge CHARLES
DEvESs, OF Massach usettS, Is the nominee.
He is arman Of ability, now on the bench Of
the Supreme Court OF his State. BE is I'M
derstood to be Reform Republican, OPP
posed to radicalism and to BUTLER.
Certainly we could not expect that Presi-
dent HAYES would name Cabinet altogether
satisfactory to Democrats; but he has sue
ceeded in selecting one that is remarkable
for its ability and more moderate than we
could have hoped it would be two weeks
ago. 1t will give far more satisfaction to
Democrats than it will to ultra Republicans,
while with southern carpet-baggers and
Radical bulldozers it will be cause OF ter
:rible forebodings. The reference OF the
nominations in the Senate causes surprise,
it being regarded as unusual.

Senatorial Ultras and the President.
The impudence and rudeness of the
"bluff" senator from Naine-BLAINE-in
the Senate chamber on Tuesday were quite
characteristic Of him, and betrayed his pur-
pose to first bulldoze President HAYES and
next to become his spokesman in the Senate.
Senator MORTON could only regard this as a
move to supersede him in the attitude OF
organ Of the ultras and bulldozer-in-gen-
eral. So it was not surprising to see the
two sepators-BLAISE and MoRToN-each
with paw on the prize, bestowing upon
each other a growl. - l.
BLAINE seemed determined to force Presi-
dent HAYES to the Issue: PACKARD or war.
Putting the: case. directly, he presented the
question of PACKARD or the presidential
election fraud. We shall see how the
President takes this bullying. He has
opened his official career by avowing the
most conciliatory policy. BLAINE, MORTON,
and the like are affirmed as much at the idea
OF conciGatione as would be thieves at the
prospect. OF punishment, and all their in
fluence and all their menaces will be directed
at the President,to drive him from his posi-
ton. .,.s ..-.,,.
We shall see what effect the bulldozing
policy will have upon President HAYES.
JOAN SHERMAN represents him to bela firm
man. The stuff he is made of is to be
tested at the very outset of his career. IF
he staggers now he must fall; and if he falls
he viii be regarded as the weakest and most
contemplate Of Presidents. r.
The fall would be inexcusable, because,
even in respect Of his physical strength,
there is no necessity for it. II he takes UP
firmly his peace and constitutional policy
he will find that the best Republicans will
rally to his support; and they, reinforced
by the Democrats, would carry him through
successfully and triumphantly. Let him do
this and he will have an overwhelming party
in each house to sustain him. II, he does
not he is not sure that even one body-the
Senate, with only six Republican major
twill give him the moral force to carry
out a policy violative OF his own voluntary
promises. - -
The time is,critical with the President.
May he have the wisdom and frmness to be
consistent and wise, and thus win the ap-
plause OF the nation and establish the peace
and prosperity OF the land. rsr

Senator Patterson had talk with Hayes
Saturday. In this conversation Hay es said :
81 intend to take two moderate Democrats
from the South into my Cabinet, "But,"
said Patterson, "wby don't you go the
whole thing, and take as extreme man as
there is-Hampton, for instance3" Hayes
replied, 81 would take Hampton il ! were
sure could get him" This completely
staggered Patterson, who had not anticl-

IJnpleasant--" The Flower Safety

It's an unpleasant fact to man who has
lived through the times OF national peace
and harmony--When the Federal and State
Governments moved smoothly in their con-
stitutional orbits, and when, although par
ties were earnest and energetic, elections
were orderly and their. results clearly de,
fined and universally respeeted-that there
should be now the fear OF violence towards
one who is decided to be the President
elect OF the United States. The fact is un-
pleasant, because it argues the condition Of
irregularity that proYokes passion and Gre
ates fear. We cannot ignore this. 1t is
too plain. We think that President HAYES
was in no danger; yet there had been in the,
process of his election q stirring up Of bitter
passions and resentments which tended to
disturbance, and it was deemed proper to
send in advance Of the train upon which he
travelled a powerful locomotive to see that
the track was clear Of distractions. There
was fear that some gindictiye person might
put obstruct,ons upon the track with inten-;
tons hostile to the President.
We do not believe that there was any
danger. The time for assassination has not
arrived. There have been great resent
mcnta and burning irritations, but the
country is get too orderly and well off for
that. Still, the public agitation and free
language, 1t appears, were enough to excite
apprehension u. -

processes Of popular elections been drift
