IN 90 into executive session, but it was de-
feated. This leaves just one legislative day
in which the New-York and other nominations
can be acted upon.
Harlem people seem to have lost faith in the
notice and are talking about private watch
men and burglar alarms. 1t is true that the
burelaries in that part of the city have been
numerous enough to discredit greatly the eff
cheney of the force that is paid to protect
property.
There il a prospect that railroad rates to
towns on the Harlem Road may be reduced.
This will be good aews to commuters"
Some other lines abous New-YOrk might fol-
low the example of Mr.. Vanderbilt's company
with advantage both to themselves and the
public.
At least one vault in this city may be con-
sidered burglar-proOf. The lock was found
to be out of order Monday morning and could
not be moved. Workmen were engaged to
cut through the door; but, although they
were made familiar with the construction of
the door and its fastenings, and used the best
tools, it took until Tuesday afternoon to force
an entrance.

General Roberts relieves Sir Garnet Wolse-
lev as the "emergency man" of the British
staff. He is ordered to the Cape with a
cluster of officers who served under him in
Afghanistan, and with $4,000 men of all
branches of the service. England has few
Generals of recognized ability, although there
have been abundant opportunities for develop
Ing military genius. Since the Crimea there
have been ten wars in which British troops
have been engaged-the Mutiny, the Canton
and Pekin campaigns, and the Abyssinian,
Ashantee, Afghan. Kaffir, Zulu, Basuto and
Boer wars. Yet until Stewart planned and
Roberts executed the great march from Cabul
to Candahar, Sir Garnet Wolseley was popu-
larly regarded as the only soldier of coDspicu-
GUS merit in the service. That General Rob-
erts is a great soldier rather than a prudent
administrator, his career in Cabul has demon
strated. In the TransvNal he will have an
opportunity to retrieve the unenviable reputa-
ton for rgor and severity which his arbitrary
and caprlclous treatment of the Afghans won
for him.

The Cabinet, under the more sklful study
of the Washington correspondents, begins
to take shape ont of the clouds
and chaos in which Mentor dispatches
left it. Blaine is sure to be Secretary of
State. The possibility of WINDOWS being
Secretary of the Treasury seems dispelled, and
the chances now appear to be that Allison will
take that place. Judge Hunt, of New-0rleans,
is talked of for Attorney General, Post Office
or Interior; but if the apparently credible
rumors giving the first to Wayne Mac
Veagh and the second to Postmaster James
should be confirmed there would seem to be
only the Interior left for Hunt. 1t is believed
to be entirely certain that Robert Lincoln
is to be Secretary of War. and that
Mr.. Morton had agreed to I've Secre-
tary of the Navy, and was then
wheedled into Withdrawing his acceptance by
men who want more for New-YOrk or moth
ing, with the hope that he might still fall back
on the Mission to France. There is absolutely
no chance either for Morton or for any other
New-Yorker for the Treasury.
