For illstance, as in the case of Ccffroth, who was selected bv a majority of onlv seven votes, wlt0 cou;j not fce re-elected, he was crmmed by the caucus to retain his seat, whi!e other, had to bow to the dictates ol j caucus and resign. .

Cresswell, of Maryland. Attorney General Eben. Rockwood Hoar, of Massachusetts. There was no nomination for Secretary of War. The New York Herald says of the Cabinet: "We pee in this new Cabinet that Grant has given the managing Republican politicians a wide berth; that he has chosen his men for business and as his subordinates, and with not the remotest idea that they are to be his masters or his co-equals iu the administration. " The Tribune says the new Cabinet means business. Emphatically, each man was chosen by General Grant expressly to aid him in carrying out the programme of economy and iutegrity embodied in the inaugural. The Times says: "The Cabinet, as a whole, will not commend itself to the favor of politicians, be cause it has not been taken from their ranks; "r ar? ,t,ie meu wh, compose it suffio -V " nosm" iV? ient- j ge to command, in advance, the full confidence of the community; but in the very fresh - ! uess of its character, in the fact that its j members are business men, rather than 1 i J - - . practical interests ot tne country tneir urst uit, i..b(.u'uiiu u, ucncMimuo cate ,Le KyODJ'of its election .net win, oy its practical wot King, vmaiAll the Cabinet nominations have been confirmed.

Crime to be Made Odious. On Sunday last, Marshal Murray of New York received from Washington a pardon from Presideut Johnson for Jacob and Mooes Dupuy, father and son, who were coavicted at the January, 1869, term of the United States Circuit Court of this District, of rescuing seised whisky from a revenue officer. Jacob was eentencod to three years' imprisonment at hard labor and fined S600, and Moses was sentenced to one year's imprisonment and fined 8200. The pardon is granted on the grount that the Dupuys had given valuable information in regard to revenue frauds, and been promised protection. The pardons are conditional upon the payment of the fines imposed. Shortly after the pardon was received by Deputy Marshal Thompson, the District Attorney sent a telegram to Commissioner Rollins, informing him of the fact, and the Commissioner had a brief interview with President Irrant, the result of which is em-

bodied in the following dispatch received those who favor them. I know of no methat the District Attornev's office at three I d to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious

GRANT'S INAUGURAL.

Citizens of the United States: Your suffrages having elected me to the office of President of the United States, 1 have, conforming with the Constitution of our country, taken the oath of office presented therein. I have taken this oath without mental reservation, and with the determination to do, to the best of my ability, all that it requires of me. The responsibilities of the positien I feel, but accept them without tear. The office has come to me uu. sought. I commence its duties untrammeled. I bring to it a conscientious desire and determination to fill it to tne best of my ability, and to the satisfaction of the people. On all the leading questions agitating the public mini, 1 will always express my views to Congress and urge them according to my judgment, and, when I think it advisable, will exercise the Constitutional privilege of interposing a veto to defeat the measures which I oppose. But all laws will be faithfully executed, whether they meet my approval or not. I shall, on all eubjects, have a policy to recommend, but none to enforce against the will of the people. Laws are to govern all alike those opposed to, as well as laws so effective as their stringent execu tion. The country having just emerged from j a great rebellion, many questions will come i before it for settlement in the next four years which preceding administrations ' "v not bad to deal wU1) but in PT h' tbese. il is desirable that they should be approached calmly, without prejudice, ,,!tte? or sectional pride, remembering that ,l,e Stalest good to the greatest number i is tha objsct lo be ained. This requires security of person, property, and ot rei lRt" anJ political opinion in every pan I of our common country, without retisrd to ! iocai prejudices. Laws to secure these : will receive my best efforts for their eniorcemeut. A srreat debt has been contracted in sei r . i oostpritv the i.nion. !

The '"excitement" hereon account of the revolutionary move . . ment of certain Democratic members of: the Legislature, is not half so great as they suppose. There was some fun among the bystanders, as they trudged toward the depot with their carpet-bags filled to overflowing, and with their extra rolls of sta tionery and other perquisites, but that was all.

No one had veutured to "appeal to the people" where, under any possible circumstances, a Republican could be elected. Your Senator and Representative have "appealed." Well they might. A constituency which elected Mike Batxner Treasurer when they knew be had been stealing from them for years as Sheriff, will not mind an expense of two or three thousand dollars foran election more than that, supposing the time of electors worth anything in order to "vindicate" their principles. By the way, 1 hope the Democracy will return the same men. '1 hey are intensely Democratic and so far revolutionary democracy cas oeen ior years "rule or min. The same animus which fired on

Fort Sumter and inaugurated the bloody of parliamentary law in the vain attempt and expensive war, inspired the action ofjto defeat the law making elections bieoni-

The Democrats are enamored of elections. Under the lead of .Mr. Coffroth in the House, they exhausted everv resource al, whereby millions of dollars would b saved to the people in a few years. This law was on the verge of passage in the Senate, and it is surmised that the defeat of it and other necessary legislation was at the bottom of the resignation as much as the suffrage amendmeut. By their course thev have irot two elnprinn in i Democratic couuties where one was before, . and have forced the whole State to the expense of a spring election. The fortysix Democratic couuties wiil therefore have from two to three thousand dollars each to pay for this iitile electioneering trick. If the evil rested here alone, it would not matter much; but they also entail a heavy expense ou the balance of the State; and taking into account the cost of extra session and ail, each of the resigning Democrats will cost the State over five thousaud dollars. flndiauapolis Comuiereial. ... a a NEW ADVERTISEMENTS Turnpike Llcctlon T""IIKRE will be an election held iu the Town of Mount Oartuol, Franklin County, Indiana, on Satunlav the :r.J da.T of Aprrl, I86SI, for the purpose of electing three Ducctors tor the Fraijkliu Turnjiilie Comiianv, t erve one year.
