THO New Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The best
opinion is that Lincoln is the only
member of the Cabinet to be re.
tanned, and that neither Grant nor
Conkling is to be among those
named. 1t is considered certain
that Window will not act after
Tuesday. He notified his friends
In Minnesota that he is a candidate
for reelection to the Senate. Fol-
ger, of New York, is most gener-
ally accepted as his probable sue
cessor. The names of the new Cab"
met include Folger, Howe, FIRE.
