There is some complaint because Governor
Foster is not in the Cabinet. He was In nearly
every hour for four months, and his friends ought
to be content with that,-N Y Tribune.
The Cabinet have decided that the Nation
al banks shall not be allowed to withdraw the le %
gal tenders deposited to retire their circulation
in the effort short time ago to bllldoze Con "

circulation tn re is no way to get it back exGep

1t was cold comfort which the temperance
ladies received from President Garfield the other
day. when they gave him hint to abolish win
from the Whit House, by presenting portrait
Mrs Hayes to be hung in the East Room. He In
substance drew a distinction between temperance
and total abstinence and avowe1 his adheren CO
to the former aud concluded with gentle Int
that his visitors in their work should be guid ed
by wisdom to "a worthy success" This pro b.
ably ends the impertinent attempts of the ultra
Temperance" people t. dictate to the Preside mt

guest. bridgeport Farmer (Dem)
Its believed that when General Gtrfi3ld In
vlted Mr.. Hunt TO a seat In the Cabinet, and the
other chosen ones consented to serve with him
they were uOt aware of his experienced aud Ver'
satile matrimonial career His appointment was
a very great but not an irreparable blunder The
President can invite him to resign; or, the othe
Cabinet officers, having wives honestly come by
might refuse to serve with him, in which case he
would be forced out, for he is not Of sufficient i'm
portsnce to stand against the six, HOW can the
Administration take any measures against the
Mormons with Mr.. Hunt in the CAb.n9tf-Ph&d

As matter OF Republican campaign history
the fact is we'll settled that Dorsey carried Indi.
ana for Garfield. Chairman New and Marsha
Dudley, Senator Harrison and ether prominent
selfasserted Republican bosses did not carry In.
diana. The Journal did not carry Indiana. Dor
sey having done the job and got credit for 1t In
the shape OF 85 900 dinner h9 proposes to assert
his supremacy and maintain his grip upon the
State. In the matter Of official patronage Dorsey
will be the controlling fsctor. He was at Mentor
bgfore the Inauguration and having secured 4
pre.emption right to GarAelds ear, Ia not likely
to abandon any advanced position then secureds
The defeat OF Indiana for a Cabinet position Is q
Dorsey triumph, for since the date Of the 5000
dinner the local Republican bosses OF Indiana
have given Dorsey to understand that they regard
him as anything bat gentleman Of unquestion-
ed veracity and honor.-Indiandpo!ts Sentinel

The Legislature cannot be said to have quite
covered itself with glory in passing bill to pay
6fty cents on th9 dollar OF the dishonored Min
nesota stlte Railroad bond', especially after hav
ing rejected proposition OF the chief bondhold. &.
ers to submit the whole question Of the VALIDITY
of these obligations to the States own tribunal q
but inasmuch as all the principal bondhode rs
have offered to receive fifty cents on the dollap
in full settlement of their claims the Legislator
deserves whatever credit is due to the prompt ao
eeptance OF this part Of their proposition andt to
the consequent settlement Of this dishonored deb
in a way which, since II is upon terms proposed
bv the bondholders themselves, relieves the State
in form at least OF the stain Of reputation. The
Legislature has, in fact, driven sharp bargain
with the public creditors and mad something
| over four million dollars for the State Treasury
| BY accepting proposition which had the appear
| ance Of being voluntary one, but which was, In
point OF fact, the compelled effect Of twenty-five
years Of practical repudlatlon by the State.-&.
