THE CONFEDERATE CABINET.
Who Composed 1t and How Many of Them
Survive.

Baltimore American.
The serious illnessyof Congressman
Reagan, of Texas, who was postmaster
general of the confederate government,
suggests some inquiries regarding the
whereabouts of other members of that
organization. Although the confeder-
ate government was but five years in
existence it had numerous cabinets.
There were. no less than three secreta-
ries OF state, five secretaries of war,
two secretaries of the treasury, and a
third, who was acting secretary, and
three attorneys general. OF the secre-
taries of state Judah p. BENJAMIN was,
of course, the most celebrated. He
has made his fortune in the practice of
law in London. He has closed up his
law business now, however, having
made money enough, and news comes
that he has gone to Paris to live perma-
nently. Bob Toombs, who was another
secretary of state, lives in Georgia, his
old home. He is wealthy old man, as
full OF eccentricities as years ago. He
has retired from the active pursuits of
life, having an ample fortune, and has,
rs recently announced, been baptised
and become member of the Methodist
church, of which his wife, now de-
ceased, was for years an honored men,
Der. His beautiful southern home is
surrounded by every comfort and lux
ury which wealth and long and varied
experience can supply. r. NJ. T.

OLD BIBLE TEXT.
A Description OF the Recent Discovery by
DIR. HaFkavy.

l paid visit to-day to DR.. Harkavy
OF the Imperial Library, whose recent
discovery Of supposed ancient text of
the Old Testament is exciting much in
terest in scientific and even general cir
cles, says St. Petersburg dispatch to
the London Standard. The learned
professor informed me that the manu-
scripts in question had been in his pos
sion for some months, but that he had
refra-ned from bringing them to public
notice on account Of the recent expos
ure OF the Shapiro frauds, and the scep-
ticism with which new announcements
in the same field of discovery would
necessarily be received. His scruples
were overcome, however, by the per-
suasions of his friend, Mr.. iNeubauer,
the assistant librarian at the Bodleian
Library at Oxford, and he has prepared
short statement for publication pend
ing the production of memoir upon
which he will set to work after Easter.
Assuming that the manuscripts are
genuine (and as to this the doctor has
no doubt), he has already deciphered
enough to prove that they are Of very
considerable interest and antiquity, but
ne is unable to fix even an approximate
date for them as yet, nor has he met
with any important variations from the
textus receptus. The manuscripts are
the property of persons whom the pro-
lessor is not at liberty to name, the
manuscripts having been intrusted
to him merely to decipher. Their
present owners bought them at one of
the Black sea ports from Greek sailor
sailing from the Island of Rhodes.
They consist of some thirty rolls of vel
lum, which were probably once bound
together. Some, however, are much
better preserved than others. The
Lamentations" of jeremiah, for in
stance, are comparatively fresh and
easily read, while some of the parch-
ment is so wrinkled and discolored that
nothing can be made out, though the
professor hopes by means of reagents
to render the writing legible. The
"Book of Lamentations" is followed by
an original poem On the same subject,
''The Fall of Jerusalem,'' signed,
"Jacob, the son of Isaac" The other
books which Prof. Harkavy has made
out 80 far are the prophecies of Hosea,
Joel, Obadiah, Haggai. and Zachariah,
and the books of Ruth, Esther, Daniel
and Zepaniah.
The most puzzling feature is that tie
characters employed differ materially
from all hitherto known, so much so
that those who read with facility the
square writing of other Hebrew texts
are at a loss to understand it. DR..
Harkavy pointed out instances in which
the letter Lamed is nearly the same as
the Yemen character; whilst the letter
Ain is quitely original, being like the
Judging from what he has made up
to the present time, the professor
thinks the manuscript must have origi-
mated with a colony of Jews long iso-
lated from their fellow-countrymen,
probably in some island or out of the
way spot on the coast of Arabia.

seventy-thlrd year, he is still an active
citizen, and highly honored for his in
tegrity.
There were but two secretaries of
the treasury-C. G. Memminger, of
South Carolina, and George A. Tren-
holm. Mr.. Memminger still lives in
his old state, and practices law at his
home in Charleston. G. A. Trenholm,
who succeeded Memmlnger in 1864, is
dead. Judge Reagan was also acting
secretary of war for short time.
Though the confederacy had not
much OF a navy, it had a navy depart
ment. S. r. Mallory, of Florida, was
the secretary of the navy. He died
several years ago.
The law department of the confed-
eracy, or the attorney generals Office,
had three observation-disclosures Bragg,
of North Carolina; Thomas H. Watts,
of Alabama, and George E. Davis, OF
North Carolina. MIR. Watts still lives
in his old state, holding his residence
at Montgomery, and is successful and
prominent lawyer of that city. Mr..
Davis continues resident of his own
state-North Carolina-living at VIII
mington, where he practices law and
talks about the old war times with his
old friends who gather about him. He
was a. great admirer of General Lee,
and entertained that gentleman on his
last visit to North Carolina. The post
Office department was presided over by
one man from the beginning to the end
of the confederacy, and that man was
John II. Reagan. He retired from
congress at the beginning of the war,
having already served two terms in
that body, and was elected with others
to the secession convention of Texas
By that convention he was elected dep.
uty to the provisional congress of the
confederacy. In March of the same
year he was appointed postmaster-gen
eral of the provisional government Of
the confederacy, was reappointed upon
the permanent organization of the con-
federate government, in 1862, and &C.
cupied that position up to the close o.
the war. Of the confederate congress
five members are now in the congress!
of the United States. Vest, OF Mis-
souri,, who was senator in the con
federacy, is in the United States senate
Pugh, of Alabama, who was member
of the confederate house, is also in TIT
senate; Garland, of Arkansas, who wa
member of both house and senate o
the confederacy, is also in the senate
and Singleton and Barksdale, of Mis-
sissippi, who were members of tn
confederate house, are in the house o
the Forty-eighth congress.

1t is true that Mr.. Clay, who had been
for years the idol of the old whig party,
was nominated by reclamation at Bal.

as sure thing. The Texas question,
involving the question of slavery, was
the question of the canvass. The
Raleigh letter of Mr.. Clay on that
question was satisfactory to the wings
of the north. They were opposed to
the annexation of Texas. So was MIR.
