THE CABINET.

President Hayes has begun in the right
way. Let him not be terrified by the thun-
dcrs of the senatorial group Cleveland
Leader.
If any northern man could have personal
influence with the sold wings" Of the south,
as member Of the cabinet, it is Richard w
Thompson, a Virginian by birth, an orator
by nature and training, an accomplished and
genial gentleman, who was personally known
by all the prominent southern wings, thirty
aud forty years ago.-N Y. Mail.
One who knows Postmaster General Key
we'll has said the political principles Of his
life may be embodied in the following words !;
ave staked all, aud lost all the controver-
~ has been settled by the highest tribunal
known to man; there is but one government
and one flag, and that is our government and
our Hag.-N. Y Tribune.
Blaine, Cameron & Co. have given to the
new president the best certificate of charac.
ter which men Of their stamp could give to
anybody. Their hostility is a badge OF merit.
The way these unclean birds flop aud dutter
is splendid proof of the skill Of the marks
man. The country will rally around Hayes,
as it rallied around Lincoln in 1861. The
issue then was national lifej the issue now
is regeneration.-N Y. Herald.
Never was a ring Of politicians more bit.
terly disappointed than the Maine republican
leaders. Blaine's anger finds vent in the
senate chamber in his open assault upon the
southern policy Of the new president Ham
lin goes around denouncing Hayes and all
his cronies Hale does not feel quite so bad
because he did not really want cabinet po-
sition for himself but Frye, who did want
it, and worked hard to get it, is mad clear
through.-BoStOn Herald.
If Gen. Deveus Of Massachusetts goes into
President Hayess cabinet, it will be an "elo-
qlent cabinet" it nothing else. Devens is
one of the most polished speakers in the old
Bay state. Think Of cabinet with such
orators in it as Evarts, Schurz, Deveus aud
Col. Thompson, the sold man eloquent" OF
Indiana, whose nomination Of Abraham Lin
coin in 1860 was as fac an effort as that Of
Col. Ingersol in the nomination Of Blaine
last year.-TrOy Times.
The Cameron crew, after exhausting all
tho nibo ouu uS'uS al euO hA1SuihSiJ VI fpSiA
organization in Pennsylvania, are left out in
the cold, aud old Simon RACES like a terma'
CANT at being cheated, at his own game
while his hopeful boy, Don Cameron, after
spending ill-gotten gains to buy delegates for
Hayes, and scattering the army to capture
states that voted for Tiden, cries out in the
depths Of his despair, as Grant did when hC
read Admiral Porters letter. 81 have lost
confidence in human nature !" Thus time
brings its revenges, aud scaly politicians
come to grief.-N Y. San.
The appointment of Judge Deveus as at
torney general is especially gratifying here
for the reason that it is understood as al
open and direct blow to Blaine aud Butler
the magnates of New England republicanism
The merits of the nomination are evident
We can only hope that Judge Devens is one
who has been put in Hayess cabinet, not as
a makeshift to till place during the open
ing season of jealousy, strife aud turmoil in
the party, but to stay there and redeem the
law department from the indecent partisan
ship and the professional imbecility which
have characterized il for eight years.--Bos
