THE CABINET.
THE Postmaster Generals Term Said
Expire by Limitation.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 25.-In connec-
zton with possible Cabinet changes, the follow
ling section of the Revised Statutes excites
comment here tonight:
SEC. 1888. There snail be at the seat of gov.
serament an executive department and Post.
master General, who shall be the head thereof,
ssand who shall be appointed by the President
sby and with the advice and consent of the
sSenate, and who may be removed in the same
manner; and the term of the Postmaster Gen
seral shall be for and during the term of the
president by whom he is appointed, and for
ZONE month after unless sooner removed.
Under this section it is claimed that as the
5tenure of office of the Postmaster General
sdoes not continue but for one month after the
sterm of the President by whom he was ap
pointed, therefore the term of Postmaster
General James expires by law on the 10th Of
October, or one month after the death of Presi-
dent Garfield, and that vacancy will then
shave to be filled, either by reappointment OF
of a successor.
