Pres. Comments On the Cabinet.

NEW YORK, March st-The Times says
that there is something puerile a. well
Ms unprecedented IN the action Of the
Senate in referring the Cabinet nomins-
tions to their appropriate committees.
The Sun closes its leader thus: The
most cordial support which this new
Cabinet is likely TO receive will not be
bestowed by earnest and energetic Re
publicans, either in Congress or out.
The men without whom Mr.. Hayes
never could have been President will be
sure to regard it with uadisguised dissat-
isfsction.
The Herald says: In spite of the for.
midsble demonstration OF bull-dozers,
President Hayes sent 10 the Senate yes.
terdsy the complete list OF his Cabinet
nominations, not Withdrawing q single
one of the names which are q stone Of
stumbling and a rock OF offence to the
belligerent party chiefs.
From the World: We fear Mr.. Hayes
is.'msklng q serious mistake IN attempt
ing to assert personal authority. When
General Grant assumed the Presidency
he was the most popular and important
parsonage IN America, yet he very soon
learned the utter folly of attempting to
control the representatives of the Gov
ernment without the representatives
alliance. AS for the impartial
men outside of the Senate and OF
party lines, it should suffice for them
that Hayes, in selecting his advisors, has
invited Carl Schurz 20 position OF
authority and influence. 1t would have
been more generous device had he
asked General Butler 10 represent the
civil service reform and justice 10 the
South in his government.
CHICAGO, March S.-Both the Journal
and Post have words of warm ccmmen-
dation for the Cabinet nominees OF the
President, and express regret at any
movement to delay confirmation.
INDIANAPoLIs, March 8.-The Jour-
nal speaks of the cabinet rs the strongest
IN point of ability and character We have
had for many years, and speaking OF the
action of the Senate, says 1t may be that
some of these men think their political
and personal fortunes will be advanced
by precipitation of q conflict, but we con-
fess our inability to see ought bu, poll
teal ruin to Republicans who oppose
President Hayes.
The Sentinel says that Blaine Is right.
He is kicking up n row already III the
senate. There is soothing balm tor
the outraged feelings of the Democrats
in the petty family fight INTO which
Hayes finds himself plunged with the
leaders of his party.
The NeiDs regards the Cabinet as a
most excellent one.
MEMPHIS, March S.-The appeal only
refers TO one of the Cabinet appolntees-
Postmaster General Key-snd crlticizes
his acceptance very severely, regarding
it as deserton Of his party.
LOUISVILLE, March S.-The Courier
Journal, Democratic, speaking OF the
new Cabinet, doube-leads the following:
In the conflict which the bloodtnIrty
Radical leaders have begun against
Hayes because of his Southern policy, the
Democratic Senators cannot afford 10
discuss what should be- their position.
They should unhesitatingly give all their
moral and material support TO Haycs, SO
long rs he maintains his present stand.
The Commercial Republican says:
Taken altogether the Cabinet is a strong
'one. The President doubtless expected
and allowed for the discomfort and op-
position which the appointment OF
Schurz, Evsrts and Key would cause
and is prepared TO meet It. He means a
change in reference TO civil service and
in regard to the Southern question, and
means reform.
