consideration. The sailors fearing that the boat
would be overwhelmed by the storm which had sud-

Pythagoras told them that If they would take his
advice they would not let the gods know who they
were.
II do not think General Grant VIII accept place
in the Cabinet if it offered TO him. He is in
place where if making money is his object, he can
certainly crafty his desires, and if il be his ambi-
tion TO make a great name in another department
he do that also General Arthur is a n an of ten
1 der feelings. and be viii be the last man the
world to shock the sensibiiites of the American
people by taking any course in regard 10 the
formation of his Cabinet which would be distaste-
! ful to them. In regard TO the place Of Guiteaus
trial am decidedly of the opinion that he be
tried and convicted in Washington. At common
/ law the court may have lost jurisdiction, but |
think judge with the proper nerve would assume
jurisdiction. The common law has been modified

WHAT SURROGATE CALVIN THINKS
SURROGATE Calvin said Z" see no reason TO APP
prehend any material change in the financial policy
of the Administration and the only apprehension
which seems 10 have been felt by many
sof our best citizens is as to a probable
change of policy. By this mean the at
prehension that the treatment of the people
of the South by Mr.. Arthur and his immediate
associates is not likely TO be liberal and generous
Gus members of the Cabinet will tender their reslg
nations apprehend that General Arthul's prin-
and the possible feeling on his part of such an obi
cation toward ex-senator Conkng as to make him
prominent member of his Cabinet, or at least a
chef advisor IN his Administration. In my opinion
THIS woud be certain disaster to his Administration
under the present strong prejudice f the people
against DIT. Conkng and the fear that he would
use his influence to punish his enemies. This is,
mink, the rock on which General Arthurs Admins
enough to administer the Government under the re-
sponsiblIty OF his oath and the dictates of his own
JUDGMENT, with ordinarily capab o Cabinet
Ministers he has a splendid opportunity to give MS
wise, conservative and successful Administrations
and hope and believe that-whatever. under the
advice OF his immediate associates he may have been
disposed TO do to strengthen the Stswart wing of bis
party-he will now appreciate the fact that he is
the President of the United States and owes a COM
mon duty to all political parties and to all sections
3ot ms own party and that with the present pros
perty ana peace OF the country he has easy and
ulrect Toad 10 Official popularity and success"
WHAT MR.. ROOT EXPECTS.
Ebhu Root who is q strong personal friend of
President Arthur, and who with him at his
house when he sworn into Office was asked by a
TRIBUNE reporter, yesterday, for his opinion to
the character of the Administration. He said,
IL suppose any opinion I might give would
he influenced by my own personal
feelings toward General Arthnr and
! by my high regard for his public and private
character don't know. therefore, it would be
of value. believe however. that the now Admin
lstration will be marked by a wise conservatism.
We shall see political revolution any start
ling change. think that General Arthur substan-
TALLY will follow the general policy aud theories
that General Garfield had already outlined aud be-
gun 10 cxecute.'
what about his attitude toward the South ~
was asked
g can say nothing that point" was the reply
because have had no recent conversation with
him IL regard to il. But. at all events. am very
sure that the general character of the Administra

circumstances winch have made Mr.. Arthur Presi-
