THE NEW CABINET,


On our outside is published the
names of the persons selected by Hayes
and sent to the Seuate for confirmation
as his cabinet of advisers. They are
all acknowledged to be among the most
able men Of the country. They
arc not extreme partisans but most of
them reformers. In this respect Hayes
is commencing to carry out his pro-
gramne Of reform as fore Swallowed in
his inaugural. But the telegraph an
nounces that the Senator'S don't like
his selection and will not confirm all of
them. They have already confirmed
Shernfa as secretary of the treasury.
1t is said that Hayes will stand firm to
his selection and 10 case the Senate will
not confirm, he will notify that body
that he has nd further use for them,
and will run the machihe Cd his own
res onsibility for while at least. This
he has the right to do.

appointments Of Hayes to constitute his
cabinet were confirmed BY the senate on

would govern 1t and certain important
ends to be attained and such as are es
ssntial to tho welfare Of the country
He then alluded to his letter of accept.
auce of the nomination for the office and
claimed that the sentiments there OK
pressed would be the standard Of his
conduct in the ful6|lment of hi, duties
Of his present position. He claimed
the paci6cation Of the country by such
means as will secure protection to all
classes OF citizens. He said that many
OF the evils of the domestic revolution
still remained and that it's benefits
would sooner or later surely come, that
peaceful local governments of the states
were not now fully enjoyed, that such a
result was indispensable to prosperity,
that each local government must re-
spect the full rights Of each Of the 9th !.

which the great controversy has been
waged must be governed alike upon the
principles Of impartiality and equality.
all submitting with due legality to the
whole constitution and laws of the ua
ton, as we'll as the laws of the states
themselves. In this respect he claimed
that all citizens should rise above mere
partizen feelings and make the cons.i-
tuition and laws and the good Of the
whole country paramount considerations
Of interest and aim. lie pledged him
self and his administration to the main
teuance Of the rights Of all classes in
the Southern states, both whites and
blacks, and guarantees to them local
government that will subserve this end,
and the quiet and content Of the people
under them, so far az it is in the power
OF his administration to do under the
constitution, and asked the CO. operation
OF oil citizens in this respect. He
pledged his support TO the development
Of the material interests Of the Southern
states in thei. business intellectual aud
moral relations, and claimed that uni.
versal suffrage should rest upon univer-
sal education. He erges civil service re.
form, that public officers should be
made to understand that they owed
their services and their whole services
to the government and tho people rather
than to any party. He urges Prcsi-
dental term Of six years, and forbilding
the inoumbent's reelection. He urges
tho redemption Of our paper currency
in coiu. He advocates the settlement
Of questions with foreign powers by ar
bitration. On the question Of the
electoral commission which decided in

hapa in no respects extraordinary save
il the closeness and the consequent un-
certainty Of the result. For. the first
time in the history Of the country, i'll
has been deemed best, in view of the
