Yesterday morning may we'll be termed the
coldest yet-the mercury running down low
er than at any time during the season, indi-
eating from six to sixteen below zero in diff
ferent parts Of the city. On Water street at
eight A. NJ, it scored seven below at the
Insane Asylum, Arsenal and different places,
it reached ten below zero; while over on
Myrtle street, where wavelets of cold air are
gently waited down from the dam in q sort Of
a triangular fashion, the thermometer indica-

were carrying their jugglery too far for they
had changed his valuable ring for a much

Secretary of State.

Persons who are among the best informed
in Washington matters, announce that it is
settled that James 6. Blaine will be at
the head of President Gariield's cabinet as
Secretary of State. The choice is eminent
" fitting and auspicious. As speaker.
Mr.. Blaine put and kept Mr.. Garfield AT
the head of the committees in which he
was able to make the most reputation. In
the forty-frst Congress the committee on
banking and currency was Of great impor-
tance, and Gen. Garfield was appointed
its chairman by Mr.. Blaine. In the next
two Congresses he led the committee on
appropriations. which had very important
work to do. and divided with the commit
tee on ways and means the control Of the
House. In the storm Of denunciation
which followed the Credit Mobilicr inves-
tigstion MIR. Blaine as speaker. retained
Gen. Garfield at the head of the appropri-
atoms committee. and thus gave the
strongest evidence Of confidence in his
integrity and OF satisfaction with his ex-
planatiou of the affair. At Chicago the
nomination Of Gen. Garfield was practi.
cally determined by the original friends
Of Mr.. Blaine. II gratitude has any
place in such matters. to no man is Gen.
Garfield more beholden than to Senator
Blaine.
But on broader and stronger grounds
General Garfield may well ask Sem
ator Blaine TO stand at the head
of his counselors. Twice at the interval
Of fonr years the republican party of the
nation has given the most con-
vincing proof that no man has hold more
controlling and more fraternal on the
hearts Of the great body Of the people Of
al the States than has the generous and
large-souled statesman from Maine. In
1876 he was thrust aside at Cincinnati
through the narrow-mindedness Of petty
factions. At Chicago in 1880 he had at
his back the sturdiest and most efficient
elements in the party. On both occasions
With . magnanimity and slacrity which
command the admiration Of foe rs we'll rs

To-day we enter upon the lights and shad-

over the months that have passed, and point
out incidents, and achievements, which will
not follow the old year into oblivion. We can
recall those acts Of our lives that arc worthy

mistakes of the past year, and profiting by
the experience Of misfortune we can guide
our thoughts, and mould our acts in conform

The year 1880, has been a year memorable

lawlessness and crime. We have seen the
constitution and its provisions. violated BY
scheming and unprincipled demagogues in

mand that their will be respected. We can
recall the scenes enacted in this capital city
Of Augusta, At the commencement Of the year

their aid and influence to the dark plot, At

It Is very doubtful II any one is author
lied to say that Mr.. Blaine will accept the
position Of Secretary OF State If rendered
him. The Boston Traveller however ap-
pears to believe that he has been rendered
the place and will accept it. and in that
belief speaks as follows:
Assuming that what now seems prob
able shall presently become an accom-
plished fact, We see every reason to con-
gratulate the President-elect, the country,
the republican party generally, and locally
- Maine, and Mr.. Blaine personally. We
anticipate general assent to the opinion
that by calling to the first place in his Cab
net . New England statesman Of Mr..
Blains's stalwart type. President Garfield
will have given at the outset stronger
moral guarantee for the thoroughly repub-
lican tone and character of his aaministra-
ton than be could possibly have done in
any other way. There will be no half
measures decided upon touching infringe
ments Of the National authority. and out
RACES upon American citizenship, with
James G. Blaine sitting behind it's chief
portfolio.
The country is to be congratulated on
this score, and further because in Mr..
Blaine it will have Secretary Of State
who will, II we mistake not, combine
much Of the subtlety of Seward, with all
the force of Stanton. and who has the ut
most intimacy with our foreign relations
and the most hearty sympathy with those

hostility of our Provincial neighbors. and
by the unfortunate diplomacy which led
up to the preposterous Halifax Award
We may be sure that in his hands. neither
our national dignity nor our commercial
interests would suffer for lack of being
automatically defended with ability ant
vigor.
Then, we think that the republican
party in Maine is to be equally congrat
ulated. In Mr.. Blaine's elevation Maine
will receive rare honor, another compli
ment to her singular fertility in the pro
duction OF men of the highest public capac
ity. Nor will she lose strength in the Senate
