rur LATEST sIArB-MR. EvARTS AT THE HEAD
NO SWEEPING CHANGES IN THE SERVICE
FIX TRLEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUNE.l
WAsBIxGToN. Feb. %. - The facts about the
latest Cabinet slate are of course worth nothing as
a Trustworthy forecast and are only interesting as
showing what is thought by many persons OIL poh'-
cal prominence as to the probable course OF lreSl-
dent Hayes in choosing his advisers. The following
is tine slate Secretary of State, VIM. NJ Evarts OF
New-York; Secretary of the Treasury, John sher-
man of Ohio; Secretary OF War, Benjamin harrison
of Indiana; Secretary of the Navy, Eugene Haze OF
Maine Secretary of the Interior, Joha Hancock OF
Texas: Postmaster-Gencral, Galusha A. Grow OF
Pennsylvania; Acknowledgement, Geo. W. McCrdry
Of Iowa. Another slate includes two southern men,
the other being either Senator Alcorn OF MISSISSIPPI
or Gen. Harlan of Kentucky, Mr.. Bnstows law
partner and the leader for many years OF the loorh
hope of Kentucky Republicans
Probably the least likely 10 be appointed OF any
man ON the above list is Gen. Harrison, unless Scna-
for Morton finding that a new Cabinet throughout
- 70 he made and that Mr. Tyncr will therefore not
renaiu should urgently recommend him. The
nressure on behalf of Gen. Logan to be Secretary OF
War will not he likely TO succeed, because the Shef-
man influence which everybody thinks VIII be pow
erful with Gov. Hayes. is hostile to him. Oeh'
Shermaus antagonsm dates back to the time when
Gen. Logan. as Chairman of the House Military
Committee cut down his pay, and rcorGamzed the
army in face of his objections.
Personal friends Of Gov Hayes say that while they
belicvc many changes will be made III the Occn-
pants of important Government positions ABROAD
and at home. they do not think such changes will
be sudden or sweeping The new President has very
rost1ve ideas on the proper management of the civil
cFtl 10 that slOulO not be re
moved from Office as long they render efficient
and honorable service The large force vi officials
who are quartered on the Government from no
merit of their own but on account OF the relation
shin or polical services ~ the outgoing AdminStra-
tiop. will naturally be set adrlft soon as their
cases ale examined; but the expectations OF 'hs
throng of otice-Seekers cOngregatng here that
general change IS going to take place at once IN INC
whole personnel of the public service, viii not 1t Is
said, be realized.
IArFR.-A later speculation on the subject of the
Cobinct. made in inside Republican circles tonight
is based on some facts not known this afternoon 1t
j. deemed certain that MIR. Evarts will have the
State DEPARTMENT and that Mr.. McCrary Will be the
AttoruCy-GrncTal.
Mr. Sherman has not vel decided whether he viii
take the Treasury portfolio and tile Ohio politicians
are urging him not TO do 50. They say that II he
leaves the Senate the contest next year IN ONO Tor
the control of the Legislature VIII have TO Dc Wageu
in behalf of whoever may now be chosen his success
sor for the uneNprcd term of two years whereas, II
he holds on 10 the seat il will not be necessary to en-
barrass the struggle with his candidacy or that OF
any one of his probable competitors Those who
know Mr. sherman best, however, say that he will
make M lis mind to 20 into the Cabinet. MI Haze
jsreuortcd TO have said this evening that he should
decline Cabinet position if offered him, prcicrrlng
10 remain in the House and look forward to the
Senate If this be his resolution, the Navy Depart
inent will il is thought, be given to eX-GoT Rice q
Naxqachusctt, or to Mr.. Frye of Maine. The War
Department is set down for Pennsylvania, and Gov
Hgrtrapft who stand, between the Cameron and
anti-C ameron factions is supposed TO lie the choice
The Po,t-Ofice Department. it is supposed, viii be
offered to Nh Hancock of Texas or Mr. Alcorn Of
Mississippi and the Interior Department either 10
another Southern man or to some one from the Pa
cifc coast. Ex-Gov. Mccormick OF Arizona, who
has been mentioned i'm this connection, says that his
name is used without ms ,ut.
The Supreme Court vacancy, according to the
same authority will be- filed either by cX-Secrctary
Bristow or Senator Chri>,iaucy. Foreign missions,
il Is supposed viii be offered to Carl Schuz George
W. Curtis Murit H,l,tead, Senator Fr"imghuysen,
T. W Stougltou. l.. r. Morton Gen. H&Wlcy and
10 two or three members of Gen. Grants Cabinet.
Gen Logan il understood not to desire any appoint
lncnt that will take him ont Of the country. There
me tlnre Illinois men who are urged for Cabinet
positions Logan and Hurbut for the War Office
and Robert g. uccrsoll for the Attorney General
suu They divide the political influence OF their
State 50 HAT neither of them Is likely 10 succeed.
