WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10, 1882

AshlN1IoN, D'S', Way 10, 1907
There has been considerable gossip
during the week relative to a very
important change in the Cabinet. 1t
is said that the President wishes to
have Mr. Conkling at the head of his
Cabinet, and that the present Secre,
tary of the State, Mr.. Frelinghuysen,
is to be sent to England as successor
to Mr.. Lowell, and that Mr.. Conkling
is to take his place. If this change
is intended, it will have to be made
soon, because both appointments
must be confirmed by the Senate,
which will not remain long in session.
The Senate is well up with its work,
and, if the House was equally for.
ward, there would be no reason for
continuing the session longer than
until the. middle Of June. The fami,
lies of some Senators and Members
have already departed for their homes,
or for summer resorts, though, as yet,
we have had very little of the "ether.
ial mildness" that poets attribute to
this season Of the year.
A bill making the Agricultural
Department one Of the Executive De.
partments Of the Government passed
the House on Wednesday by q very
large majority, and, if this bill passes
the Senate, Us it is thought it will do,
the Commissioner Of Agriculture will
BECOME member of the Cabinet, with
thestitle ofASecretary of Agriculture.
Who will be promoted to the new
Cabinet Office, in case this bill be-
comes law, has not yet been the
subject of much speculation. The
present head Of the Bureau is very
popular, but there will no doubt be
other applicantsfor the place with
its enhanced dignity. The Cabinet
of the President now consists Of seven
members, having charge, respective
ly, ofthe War, Navy, State, Treasury,
Interior, Justice, and Post Office De.
partments. Some other civilized
countries have twelve Executive De-
partments, comprising, besides the
above named divisions. Agriculture,
Education, Commerce, Manufactures,
and Public Works. -
There is bill before Congress ap.
propriating 100000 for purposes
of education, to be distributed 10 the
several States and Territories in pro-
portion to their illiteracy as shown by
the late census. If this bill shall be
passed, it will be trip toward the
assumption by the Federal Govern
ment Of the educational function
that is now divided by the Public
School Systems of the various States,
and, at no distant day, we may have
another Cabinet Officer, to be known
as the Secretary of Public Instruction.
There could be much said for and
against such measure. The oldque
ton Of State Rights would be reviv-
ed. The demon of Capitalization
would be paraded by the press, and
on the stump; but, if the big leviath-
an Jumbo establishment, known as
the Government Printing Office,
could only be used to print cheap
arithmetics and spoilers, instead of
the millions Of useless documents
NOW thrown out, l think the country
would profit by it. AT least one ad.
vantage would be gained by the con.

1t is proposed that as preliminary
step that leading Republicans in the
Southern States, without regard to

to Washington to confer with and
advise the committee concerning the
situation in Congressional districts
where the election Of a Republican
Aor Administration candidate may be
made q reasonable certainty.
