REoRaAN1zING THE SENATE.

The extra session of the Senate, so far,
has done nothing beyond waging q
strictly party fight upon the reorganiza-
tion, each trying to secure the control OF
the working machinery of that body.
The Democrats have agreed in caucus
upon the election Of Mr. Bayard as Presi-
dent pro tempore of the Senate, and have
arranged we'll selected list of commit
tees, but the Republicans have, so far,
prevented reorganization by dilatory
motions and debate, which at times has
been very acrimonious. The indications
now are, that The Democrats will ulti-
mately, by the assistance of Judge Davis
and the absence of General Malone,
control the organization, which will be
of decidedly great value, inasmuch as
it will very probably give them the
power to confirm or reject the appoint
ments which may from time to time be
sent in by the new President. 1t is at
least worth the fight that is being made
over it.

THE NEW CABINET.

President Garfield has been very gen.
orally applauded for the selection Of his
Cabinet but there appears to be some
difference Of opinion about it from the
following portion Of on article written
from Washington to the Augusta Chron.
icIe d: Constitutionalist, from it's accom- :
plishcd correspondent, Col. James r..
Randall
] asged one of the most famous of pol
iticians, now in retirement, what he
thought of the Cabinet. He said {:
Blaine represents subsidy TO ships. Tin.
coin represents martyred memory and
the Pullman Car Company. Window
represents the glorifcation Of Eads and
tie damnatioD Of Vanderbilt, Gould and
Garrett. Kirkwood represents the cattle
disease and Indian hobby. MacVeagh
represents the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Hunt represents Durell end divorce, and
james will be misreprcsoh hted by Edward
Mcpherson, who win control his patron
age as Tyner did that of Key. "Taking
the Cabinet as q whole" said, what
do you think 1t means7" He reptile
with monosyllable of terrible import:
"Jobs P This give you as the extreme
of an unfavorable view, though inter-
preted Dy master-mind and an expert.
AS many papers and persons have lauded
the Cabinet to the skies, the reader can
pay his money and take his choice.

HAYES AND His SAVINGS C2epe.
land, Ohio, March 8.-Ths Cleveland
Herald publishes today, by authority,
the following concerning ex-President
Hayes's salary and savings:
THE whole truth concerning the al
legged savings of ex-President Hayes from
his salary can be told in few words.
The aggregate of that salary for the four
years was 100000. The expenses of
5he position during that time was $134,-
600. Had Congress refunded the $4,000
he paid for the expenses of the wishing
statesmen" to Louisiana, his savings
would have been about $4,000. As it
is, he went out of Office with $4,000 to
be carried from his account as President
to the benefit of his account as q private
citizen. When he became President he
was burdened with debts to the amount
of $50, 600, mostly on account of bequests
charged upon the Birchard estate. Of
this amount he has paid 100000 out of
his savings from the Presidential salary,
80 that the net available result in cash Of
his Presidential term is $4,000.

When it was thought the funding bill
would pass, some Of the National Banks
attempted to produce q financial crisis,
in order to defeat the bill, by returning
their circulation and withdrawing the
bonds they had o. deposit with the
United States Treasurer. BY this reduc.
tion of the circulation they tho, ght to
deter Congress from passing the bill, and
now that the bill has failed they want to
put their bonds back and withdraw their
notes for circulation. The Secretary Of
the Treasury has, however, refused to
allow the withdrawal. AS the banks
returned their notes voluntarily, ho soes
no reason TO return them. The govern
ment is not to be made o play-thing of
in that way. Mr.. Window will give
these banks leisure in which to repent Of
their haste.

US. COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE.

A spirited contest is being Naged for
the position of Commissioner of Agri-
culture at Washington. The alp icants
are the present incumbent, General VIM.
LeDuc, and exCongtessman Loring, of
Massachusetts, and FELTON,, of Georgia.
The present incumbent, however, seems
TO have the inside track. In repl; 20 Il
question from the correspondent Of the
Atlanta Constitution upon The subject Of
his continuance, he said
"My appointment is like that q the
Commissioner of Education, VIII has
held his place IL or 10 years. and con-
tinued upon the favor of the Pres * nt"
"Do you not upon the incoming Of q
now administration tender your resigna.
ton, as the cabinet officers do, as mat
tor Of courtesy 2" asked the correspon-
dent.
Certainly not" said the Commission
ear; that rule only applies to tho Presi-
dents immediate advisers. If the de-
partmcnt Of agriculture were n cabinet
position, Il would follow that should
tender my resignation"
We do not think the present Commits
sioner as efficient MS the head of so i'm
portant department should be, but it
must be admitted that he is en- improve
ment upon the past Commissioners that
we have had. The trouble is that the
Department Is but little more than
political machine to retain certain men
in Office, and before the appointment of
Gen. LeDuc it was decidedly worthless.
He has to some degree improved it, and
il let alone will probably render it still
more beneficial to the class in whose in
terest 1t was nominally created. At
least We are inclined to think that Messrs.
Loring and FELTON, are both too much of
politicians to be placed in charge of
the Agricultural Department. President
Garfield will do we'll 10 let the present
incumbent alone, Unless he can find some
man to appoint on aecoup, of his agri-
cultural record, instead Of through SYM
pathy for defeated politician.

THE BLAND MURDER CAsE.--Edqc.
field c. H., March 1l.-The case of the
State against A. A. Clisby, charged with
the murder of DR.. Wallace Bland. was
concluded this evening and verdict of
not guilty rendered BY tho jury. The
trial began on Wednesday morning and
consumed two days. The Court House
was crowded to its utmost capacity
during the progress Of the trial, and
much interest was manifested in the case.
The State was ably and admirably repre-
sonted by Col. J. S. Cothran, the talented
and distinguished Solicitor of the Eighth
Circuit, who was assisted by Col. Q. L.
Woodward. The defense vas conducted
with signal ability by General NJ. w.
Gary and Major Ernest Gary. AZ ehe
close of the charge Of Judge Aldrich,
which was elaborate, fair and impartial,
the jury retired and after an absence of
twenty-five minutes returned with yer.
dict of acquittal. The cases of the State
against A. Z. Glover and of the STATE
against st. Julien Bland for assault and
battery with intent to kill were mol
pressed this morning.

A syndicate of New York bankers are
said to have offered the new Secretary of
the Treasury, Mr.. Window, to float the
government bonds which are soon to
mature at the low rate of three per
ccntum per annum until Congress meets
and has time to arrange for new loan.
This is generous in the bankers, and it
shows the correctness of the rate fixed
upon in the late funding bill, which was
vetoed by President Hayes. 1t also
shows that government bonds will float
at par on three per cent. interest without
tho compulsory feature which was at
tempted in the fifth section {. the late
bill. 1t may, therefore, very safely be
assumed that the rate of interest on the
next government bonds will not exceed
three per cent.

not gifted with eny unusual ability. at
the expiration of his Senatorial term on
the 4th of March, he was to have left the
Senate, in consequence of being beaten
for the next term by Mr.. Philetus Saw

to permit his retirement. Senator Matt
Carpenter died, and Cameron was elected
to fill his vacancy, which will keep him

The newspapers inform us that the

jority the Council and school boards for

cratic gains all along the line. 1t is o
pity that tho current always sets in our
favor when we do not specially need it,
and then seems to turn in the other di-
rection as soon as general election is on
hand. 1t really does look as though
there is bad leadership somewhere in the
Democratic party.

elevated, 1t must be through a change Of
leaders, This is the prob' IN for solution
at the hands Of the new administration.
The President seems to undcrstand it..
and it now remains to be seen whether
he has the moral courage to grapple with
it. We believe that Gen. Garfield in
tends to be the President Of the whole
people, and shall continue in this belief
until the contrary is shown by his official
acts. AS we have said, his appointment
of Federal officials in the South will in
q large measure, indicate which way the
question will be finally solved.

Senator Hill has been taking q very
active part in TIA debate over the ques-
tion Of recognizing inc United States
Senate, and his magnificent abilities have
been of great service to the party in this
emergency. he has tilted several times
with the lnrkey-ccck Senator from from New
York, ani in G good.humored manner
set him down; but The great feature of
the debate was the castigation which he
gave Malone, the truant Democrat from
Virginia, upon whose vote the Republi-
cans have been relying to secure the re.
organization of the Senate. The adroit
manner in which Dir. Hill led Malone
to take his position, and then the pow
erful inycctive and castigation which lie
hurled at him iaye done much to un.
mask the true inwardness of Malone
ism; and while it assists the Democrats
in keeping him from going over entirely
to the Republicans will also seriously
damage his chances Of carrying Virgins
any more. Indeed, the speech of Sena-
tor Hill is said to be worth ten thousand
votes to the regular Democracy of Vir.
