The C,,oicc ar m Cob,n.,.

The choice Of n Cabinet is the hepersonal
privilege of the President, the exercise OF which
casts no reflection on those who may be SUPER
seded of the same party. His advisers naturally
receive and return the fullest confidence. They
ought to hold, aud generally do hold, toward him
the most intimate rclatons-such, indeed, rs could
hardly be expected 10 exist, Notwithstanding their
friendly dispositions, between President Arthur
and General Garield's Cabinet. The c2actions of
party too often curtail this privilege Of the Prcs
dent; but he is flirly entitled TO select the men
who shall compose his council, aud In exercising
that right he Is only supposed to consider how the
public Interests will be best promoted. With
marked proprlety, General Arthur has given no
sign of his future intcntions aud this very dis.
oretion is promise In itself that he will act wisely
in other respects.-New York Sun Qfyesiertldy.

ANOTHER TRIBUTE.
what Congressman IIouL, or Tennessee,
Says OF President Arthur.

There has never been q man worse mis-
understood or more underrated as q man and q
Statesman than President Arthur. He has been
the Subject OF vast amount of Intentional mis-
representation, both as to capacity and character
Personally he Is Of the very best moral and social
standing Politically he is and eiways has been
n consistent Republican. He is OF "the original
panel" of old.time Republicans. His intellectual
character is Of very high order. In whatever
sphere OF action he has been called he has inyara
bly, proved himself equal to every emergency. II
he had never before been known his letter of ac-
ccptancc OF the nomination for the Vice Presidency
would have stamped him as one ofthe first Ameri-
can statesman. The country has nothing to fear
from President Arthur. In him twill have man
ofsplendid executive ability. a sound Republican,
and pure patriot who will make President OF
an exalted character. Ills accession TO the Presi.
dency will cause no disturbance in business cir.
cles, for he is known to be n first class practical
business man. And, in addition to this. he is
sound on all public questions, such as the tariff
banks and banking, sound currency based on
gold and silver, the payment of the public debt
Nation to he spelled with big N, and all subjects
connected with the general welfare

There is one fact in relation TO Presi-
dent Arthur's past career rs politician that az.
fords some hope Of successful policy OF peace in
the new position TO which he has been unexpect-
edy called, He has had very few difficulties"
or misunderstanding" Although firm In stand
ing for his convictions as was ins,aneed in his
differences with the Hayes administration, he is
noted for his success rs q conclliator As a pro,
moter of harmony he has decided gins and a long
experience, IN dealing with men of diverse char
acers tastes and interests II is doubtful f he has
an equal In the party This Is not the highest
quality 6f leadership. but 1t will be found a very
useful sin In the present Juncture.-Boaoa Herald
