tive. After the cabinet was announced so far
| as tie treasury is concerned there was bound

part OF the running down in the panic last
| week.
From the World; 1.-The Presidential noun
tain IN labor has brought forth litter of
cabinet mice. Two men alone of positive
strength, and weight should be excepted from
this verdict-BlaIne and James. If we set
aside Blaine as representative of the most
energetic and progressive element in the Re-
| publican party, and James as a representative
of administrative experience, the remaining
offices are so filled as to nullify the value Of
the cabinet, either for the Republican party or
| for the public" The World considers the
appointment of Window unfit and amazing.
The Herald says; ''The cabinet is o BODY
OF vigorous men, most of them young Win
dom, James, Lincoln, Blaine and McVeagh
are all IN the prime and vigor of manhood
| We cannot call it an able cabinet, by no means
| a cabinet as able as that of Hayes. We should
| say that Blaine is the one man of genius, the
one real leader. The country will moi see
such cabinet as was formed by
group of earnest political men devoted
TO the Repubi ,an cause and
anxious to do their best to support the
President and serve the nation. The cabinet
begins work with the confidence of the coun-
try and deserving the confidence of the coun-
try and the Republican party. We congratU-
late President Garfield upon having on the
whole done as well as he has done. We give
to HIM and constitutional advisers our
best wishes for a successful, conservative and
brilliant administration
The Herald tomorrow will say of President
GarfeId's cabinet that it is certainly inferior
to the cabinet of President Hayes In impor-
tance, though personally highly respectable
gentlemen, and therefore not likely to lower
the tone of the administration. It however,
regards the cabinet strong in personal and
public character and one that will compare
favorably with most of official families Of
recent Presidents. James appointment"
the Herald says, sis one to be unqualifedIy
approved here. Beyond any other in the coun-
try ne is fitted for the postofflce." Com
menting in a friendly tone on the others, it
takes exception to the appointment of
McFeigh, which as a recognition of independ-
ence is decidedly too small tub for the size
of the whale.
The Sus referring to each member of the
rev cabinet says: at is evident the cabinet
is not OF the Conkling stripe. The New York
Senator gets only the husks. These are very
wholesome fodder, but not so fattening as
corn. Col James appears on the surface to
be a Conkling appointment but it is under
Pennsylvania, is to be first assistant Postmas-
ter General, and to control the patronage in
Blaine's interest, so the kernel of that ap
appointment will be eaten by the Secretary
of State. We shall see. Give General Garfield
and his cabinet a fair show"
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, March 5.---The Re
publicon says: "Garfield's cabinet is not as
good as his inaugural. 1t is mediocre, spotty,
and full of holes. Blaine is an unfit man to
dominate on administration. Window, for
secretary Of the treasury, is a shock to the
business interests of the country He has
been wrong on all financial questions; under
Garfield he will do, perhaps Lincoln Is a
passenger, not an oar. James, postmaster
general, is = first, happy stroke, and the best
equally good. Kirkwood, for the interior, is
also good appointment, but the cabinet as a
whole does not compare with Hayes"
NEw YORK, March 5.-The Times says
that Blaine's presence in the cabinet will give
satisfaction to large body of active and car
nest Republicans there can be no possible
doubt Windom's selection as Sc cretary of
the treasury, will satisfy not only Rebuilt
cans, but Democrats, Of an organization which
is gradually hardening into paryt land which
includes Greenbackers, Republicans and Dem
ocrats, and has for its principles and
platform an anti-monopoly league. Of
James as postmaster general it is only neces-
sary to say he is the right man in the right
place. The appointment of Wayne McVeagh
as attorney general has double merit, being
evidence of the Presidents approval of the best
type'o political independence and of mis- ap-
probation of genuine ability and force of
character. kirkwood needs only the same in
dependence of partizans interference
and unfagging industry of his
predecessor to leave his department in the same
high state of efficiency and purity in which he
finds it. Judge Hunt represents the highest
type OF native Southern Repubicanism, and
fearless, honest craftsmanship. Robert Lin
coin inherits name which the American peo-
pie can never cease to reverence, and according
to the testimony of his friends has untried
ability which will do no discredit to his fa-
theirs memory
CHICAGO, March 5.-The Tribune to-mor-
row will say of Gartield's cabinet: "1he COM
position of the cabinet will afford general sat-
isfaction. 1t meets all the requirements of To-
callty. It has high average of ability, I'M
questioned integrity and in its collective ca
pacity averages an unusual experience Of pub
lie Affairs and knowledge of the duties pertain
ing to the several offices. Mr.. Blaine is in no
sense national character. lie is an Eastern
man with Western temperament Mr.. Win
dom in point of ability ranks high as sound
Mr., Blaine and Mr.. Window may be accepted
thoroughly to support the dou-
BILE standard and actively en-
ploy the influence of the republic
to extend it over Europe and America. Mr..
Lincoln possesses all the qualifications for
good executive officer, and is better fitted for
the war department. than most of those who
have held it. 1t was a graceful thing for Gen.
Garfield to honor the son of the Illinois Presi
dent. The people of Illinois will thank him
for it. Mr.. James will bring to the postoffice
department the highest order of fitness. He
will not delegate his duties to assistants. He
will open the rotten, fowl, extravagant star
service and repair the mischief that Key,
through gross negligence permitted to be
done. On the whole, the cabinet should be
regarded as fair compromise between all the
various elements of the party.
The Confirmation of the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-When the Senate
went into extra session this afternoon, Sena-
tors Blaine, Window and Kirkwood left the
chamber aud didn't return to it. The cabinet
