economical measures OF the new Admins
tration will rival the sum saved to the pub

Mr.. Holman has been twitted upon thi:
by some OF his late colleagues rs illustra
ting the blindness OF the House to some Of
the plancst modes Of etfecting retrench
mcnt OF public expenses without embar
RAISING the interests Of the Government
Republicans allege that whatever Of cX
travagancc there was during the last cigh
years was due to the laNity OF the contro
Of General Grant over the administration
OF affairs and the loose notions OF his Cab
met counSclors !; and they point to tho
immense sums already saved by the Hayc:
Administration as evidence that the Repub
lean party meant real reform when they
preached the theory from the stump last
fall The fact is, however, the Republican
leaders are intensely Disguised that the
President turns out to be one OF those who
believed they actually meant reform and
honest government when they said so in the
Cincinnati platform.
THE LATEST SENSATION AT THE CAPITOL
is a report that the Cabinet will fall to pieces
before many weeks have elapsed by the
withdrawal OF DevenS, McCrary, and
SEIZURE. 1t appears to be based upon Sus.
picion of incompatibiiity OF political views
Oh current questions and personal prciu-
diccs among the ministers. The latter is
said to be more particularly directed toward
SchurZ. because OF his severe denunciation
OF Grantism when it cursed the country,
and some OF his present Cabinet colleagues
were its earnest suppt rtcrs; yet Schurz
seems to be utterly unconscious OF any pre-.
iudicc towards himself, and certainly has nc
idea OF retiring.
McCrary is believed to have very little
sympathy with the Presidents disposition
Of southern questions, and is FESTIVE under
the repression Of his own preferences. BE-
sides, there are evidences of great diSSatiS.
faction with Mr.. Hayes from the bitter Re.
publican State which McCrary represents
These are not sufficient grounds, however
to warrant the belief that ne Will let go his
portfolio: and it is improbable that Deven<
would step down after having resigned &
high judicial station TO go into the Cabinet,
except for more potent reasons than can
now be assigned.
THE TURKISH MISSION, &C.
twas rumored that Deycns was to be
sent to Turkey in place OF Minister May.
nard. but when questioned about the mat
ter to-day he said he knew nothing OF it.
He somewhat regrets that he exchanged the
Supreme bench of Massachusetts for place
in the Cabinet. but thinks that loatiine
around in Constantinople would not suit
him any better than interpreting law foa
forty millions Of people at eight thousand
dollars per year.
Senator Gordon denounces as falsehooC
the story that he had been rendered the Wal
portfolio. lie thinks it originated with
those who are seeking to iniure him, with
their own selfish ends in view.
