More Gossip Concerning the Cabinet-The
DlrectOrship of the Mint.
The best informed politicians no longer
entertain any doubt as to the appoint
ment Of ex-senator Sargent to the interior
department.. A gentleman who enjoys
the presidents confidence to more or less
extent says he knows that the matter is
practically settled, and that Mr.. Sargent
will succeed Secretary Kirkwood next
month. Ex-senator Chaffee is considered
off tho list for a cabinet position. South
ern Republicans are making strong fight
for the navy department, and do not
credit the report that this place is to be
given to Now England, and that VIM.
E. Chandler has been selected for the
place. Representative Page has not sus-
pended his efforts to get Director of Mint
Burchard ousted, and he has enlisted the
support of other congressman in the fight
Those opposed to Mr.. Burchard profess to
believe that change will be made before
many months, and that a man will be ap
pointed who is more in sympathy with the
East on the silver question.

Comedy Night at the Opera House.
Mr.. John f. Owens appeared at Full

comprising the two well-knOwn old-time
comedies Of "The Victims" and "Solon
Shinglc.' The distinguished comedian
has lost none of the quaint humor and
dramatic art that long ago gave him a
wide celebrity, and in tho two famous i'm
presentations that last night occupied his
attention he fully met all the expectations
of his friends, and afforded IN entertain

Owens was fairly supported, and the gen

OF an order deserving of more substantial
recognition than was afforded in tho

No Case OF Inability.

The fact is tolerably well established
that the Cabinet does not believe there
is any need Of agitating President Garfield
by a suggestion that he shall call Con-
gress together to create a tribunal to de-
eide upon the subject of inability, or that
he shall abdicate his Office by testifying
to his inability as basis for the exercise
of presidential duties by the Vice-Presi-
dent. 1t is equally certain that the Vice
President will not be persuaded TO assert
the inability of the President, or even to
contemplate its existence unless apprised
of it by the President himself There
has been an animated discussion in the
press upon this subject, and it
has Of course been the theme of
informal conversation among Cabinet Off
GERS, as it has been in every intelligent
circle. We are fully convinced that at
no time has the Cabinet seriously enter
tanned the idea Of proposing any action
by the President looking toward decla-
ration of his own inability, and it is cer-
tain that no member of the Cabinet
would be so disloyal to the President as
to admit the existence of constitutional
vacancy by reason of inability upon any
other testimony so long as the President
is conscious. The proposition to turn the
President out and put the Vice-Prcsident
in his place does not come from the
friends of either. Itwould be difficult to
trace it to any other source than the
tendency of active minds to discuss pos
sible contingencies in the absence OF
more important topics. THE REPUBLICAN
has steadilymaintained that the test OF
inability would be incapacity for dis
charging important dutiessimperatively
requiring action. Trifles could be ignored,
as they are in case of absence. The
utmost inquiry as to executive duties
unperformed and requiring the Presi-
dents personal attention since July 9
discloses only the following: The sign
ing of an order for the retirement of Pay
master-General Cutter, of the navy, re-
tired by statute on account of'age; the
appointment of an auditor of railway ac.
counts, and the hearing of an application
for pardon from Pennsylvania. Itwould
be folly to contend that any emergency
as yet exists requiring the consideration
of the definition of presidential inability

GENERAL WIcKHAM can now begin to
seeand comprehend the magnitude of the
blunder he has made in separating him
self from the great mass of his party in a
crisis like the present. The result of
the Lynchburg convention showed that
the great majority of the Repub-
licans Of Virginia are opposed to
the Straightouts' policy. The true,
honest, practical Republicans of the
Old Dominion see plainly, as they think,
that they now have chance to secure
forever for themselves and their children
the free, unrestricted right of suffrage; of
voting as they please, and of having their
votes honestly counted. So seeing and
so feeling, they have thrown aside all other
considerations, personal or political, and
have determined to unite with any and
every man who will aid them in securing
these inestimable rights. And 80 firmly
have they resolved upon this that neither
power, person, norposition can deter them
or cause them to swerve from their reso-
luton. Such being the case, it is useless
for General Wickham or General Anybody
Else to attempt to turn them aside from

The Reported Indian Massacre.

Whatever the extent to which the first
reports of the massacre of United States
troops by Apaches in Arizona may be
modified, it is very certain that the Gov
ernment trihes with its Indian enemies.
The Indians should be forced into good
behavior. 1t is most strange that some
who advocated the strongest war meas
ures during the rebellion are tender
footed about hurting the murderous
| Apaches. We are not strong enough in
! the Southwest. If we are, why are our
men overmatched by the redskins
Or has rash thing been done
by small command? -Ahddd do
small commands have perl6ission to roam
around to be slaughtered by four times
their number-S-/One report is that Indian
scouts with General Carr's command
commenced the murderous fire on his
men and that the other Indians finished
them. Would it not be better hereafter to
have these Indians fight our troops from
their own camps than from ours2 The af-
fair is shocking, at best. Itmay arouse the
country to the fact that we are not in
peaceable possession Of the country, and
that more force is necessary. The army

suggest little more pronounced "bayo.
net rule" in the Apache country? Can
it ever be impressed on the Indian phi
lanthropists thatit is just as deplorable to
have our troops killed by Indian rebels rs
by any other kind?
1t will be in order within day or two
| for the vindication of this last massacre
to begin. A medicine man was being ar
rested This vexed him, and he shot
Lieutenant Cruze, who was engaged in
the effort. Then the murderer was killed
Then the massacre avenged him. II
there had been no attempt to arrest the
Indian all might have been avoided. All
Indians being good, it is clear that the
arrest of one of them cannot be justified
This will be amply shown by Indian evi.
dence! One good way to correct false
impressions in this regard would be to
draft from the people who think Indians
at war uih as are always right number
equal to the United States troops now in
Arizona and New Mexico and send them
down to relieve the latter. Perhaps they
will volunteer.
