A FRESH CABINET.
The cabinet makers are on a new tack now
They have grown tired of the sound Of the
old names, and are wrestling with new lot
to see how they will fit, They have decided
that there must be somebody from Ohio in
the cabinet, that BayaFd cannot be spared
from the senate, that Garland will probably
think better Of it and stay there too, that the
recent quarrel over old war troubles will
show Cleveland the advisability of omitting
TO put any ex- confederate in the cabinet and
so on, ad ininitum. The great difficulty,
however, in making up cabinet and includ-
ing men from the south is TO find capable
men from that section who were not in the
confederate service. One name is suggested
and most excellent one, that of Senator
CocGrell, of Missouri 1t seems really doubt
ful, however, whether the senator could be
induced to leave the senate for
q cabinet place Indeed. It begins
to be understood that Cleveland, in
making up his cabinet, is pretty likely to
have 70 60 to the ranks of private life to get
his men, and in this view it is argued that
either Thurman or Pendleton will be Sc
lected from Ohio, Mcdonald from Indisna,
Rosecrans from California, or Mcclellan
from New Jersey, Money, from Mississippi,
whose term in congress expires March 4, and
who is especially fitted for the post Office de-
partment, Broadhead, from Missouri, or
Hancock, from Texas, neither reelected to
congress, and who were loyal men during the
war, Villas, from Wisconsin, or SIocum or
Dorsheimer, from New York, neither Of
whom is reelected to congress.
FAVORABLE TO GRANT.
There is pretty general belief hsre that
the result Of recent developments in regard
to Gen. Grant will be to put him on the re-
tired list Of the army. There is a strong SEN
timeut in favor of this with good many
people on both sides Of the political line. In
deed, even men who fought against him
favor It. It is doubtful, however, whether
this will be done at this session. There Is a
on the part Of the Democrats to
let It 90 over until next session that their
president may get the credit of signing the
bill, and that the Democratic party may
claim the glory OF 1t. There is another reason
for II too. They expect 10 pass the Fitz-John
Porter bill as soon ss they get a Democratic
president to sign it, and they would like the
Grant retirement bill TO place alongside
OF it.
ABOUT s17, 500 YEAR.
There Is considerable inquiry here to-day
as regards the amount of salary Gen. Grant
will receive in case the house concurs in the
bill placing him on the retired list, which
passed the senate yesterday. OF course. he
viii receive the same salary as Gen. Sherman
now receives, but the difficulty is to ascertain
how much Gen. Sherman receives. Army
officers as rule conceal the amount OF their
salary. Their money is not appropriated
direct as are the salaries paid civil employees.
1t goes 10 them in parcels, so much for salary,

rations aud in other ways. Gen. Shermsn's
salary amounts in all to about sl7,5 500 per
year, little more than double the amount
received by-Gabinet officers or the justices Of
the supreme court
AN EXTRA SESSION POSSIBLE.
There is already some talk OF an extra ses-
sion of congress, good many people be-
gin to doubt whether the necessary legisla-
ton for carrying on the work of the depart
ment will get through during the session. SO
little has been done mp 10 this time, the mid
die Of the session that It will really be a won
der II the work does get through in the forty
DAYS left for business. OF course, the ap-
preparation bills could be pushed through in
that time IL the machinery should work
smoothly, but it does not and IS not likely to.
There is bad feeling between the house and
senate, engendered in part by the naval ap-
is no disposition to pull together.
All the appropriation bills Of
auy importance are stIl hanging nre, many
OF them not vet touched by the committees.
Then, too. there is a disposition with good
many people to be here for a while after the
new administration comes in. TO see how the
work OF parceling out the Offices goes on and
offer advice, and there is not much anxiety
- hurry business for that reason.
