Gen. Grant and the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA United States SEN
ator of the Stalwart order, speaking of the re-
ported influence which Gen. Grant has had
over President Arthur in the formation of his
Cabinet. says:
'It is all nonsense. happened to be with
Gen. Grant during most of his interviews with
the President while he was here, and certainly
then Gen. Grant did not give any advice with
regard to the cabinet. The subject of the Cab
met was but very little discussed Gen. Grant
however, when his opinion was asked as to diff
ferent men, gave it without reserve, as he al
ways does to his friends. Speaking of the re-
ports that he was here to impose cabinet upon
President Arthur, Gen. Grant himself said that
when he was President he did not allow any
body to dictate his Cabinet to him, and he GER
tainly did not propose to dictate Cabinet to
Gen. Arthur"
But" continued this Senator, "Gen. Grant
did have considerable to say about certain for
eign appointments, and he spoke on the sub
ject with good deal of earnnestness. He
spoke in favor of good many occupants of
foreign places, who had been appointed by
himself, and who were removed from office
during the Garfield administration, and
there is doubt that he desires to see his own
appointees reinstated. That, in my Judgment,
is the most that Grant has interested himself
about in this whole Presidential business"

sued the following call:
The time is ripe for you to come together
and with united voice and in unmistakable
terms offer your emphatic protest against the
British Government in outraging the God-giv-
en- rights of our fellow asserters of the title of
the laborers to the products of their toll, the
members of the Irish land league. Must Ire

owe such deep debt of gratitude, forever re-.
main Gland of paupers, prisons and graves,
the Calvary on which the hopes of humanity
are to be crucifed?
Trades unionists, you are requested to SEND
delegates or your officers to a meeting to be
held at Science hall today (Tuesday) evening"
for the purpose of calling monster mass meet
ing of all who hate oppression, who love JUS
tice, liberty and humane right, there to give
expression to that indignation and adherence
which the action of the British government
Justly arouses in the breast of every lover OF
humanity, and to consider the advisability OF
issuing an address to our fellow trades and la
Dor unionists of Great Britain, sGermany,
France, the United States, and other countries
calling upon them to unite with us in pro-
test against the high-handed oppression of our
brethren of Ireland.
The cause of Ireland is, in fact, identical
with that for which trade and labor unions are
established.
The call is signed by leading members OF

will be called the Women's Evangelical Tenn

Mrs Kinney, of Michigan, Corresponding
Secretary. The meeting was very quiet, and
there was no feeling manifested toward those
who have heretofore attempted to connect the
temperance work with woman suffrage. The
new society expects to receive the support of
the conservative element, and it is thought by
members that the work of the new association
will meet with success. The meeting adjourned
subject to the call of the executive committee.
