President Gnat's Cabinet.

On the 4tb, General Grant announced hie Cabinet as follows: Secretary of State—Elihu B. Washburn X, of Illinois. Secretary of the Treasury—A. T. Svkwaht, of New York. Secretary of the Navy—Apolph E. Bobik, of Pennsylvania. -Attorney General—Eben RockM oon Hoah, of Massachusetts. Postmaster General —J. A. J. Crkswki.l, of Maryland. Secretary of War—General Schofield is retained. Secretary of the Interior—Jaeon D. Cox, of Ohio. Elihu B. Washbubne was born in Livermore, Oxford county, Maine, September 23, 1616. Has been a printer, lawyer and congressman. A. T. Stewart was bom near Belfast, Ireland, in 1804, and is of Scotch-Irish parentage. Ho came to this country in 1823, and commenced teaching school which ho relinquished for mercantile pursuits. He is one of the richest men in America ; his wealth is estimated at from $80,000,000 to $60,000,000. Adolph K. Borie, of Philadelphia, is not very generally known to the country. He is of French descent, has been extensively engaged in the tea trade, and is said to be well acquainted with naval affairs, was conspicuous during the war for his loyalty and charity, having been the founder of the Union league in Philadelphia, and active in promoting the interests of Soldiers' Homes and the Christian Commission, contributing liberally on all occasions to these laudable charities. Judge Hoab has been Judge of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. Hon. John A. J. Creswell was born at Port Deposit, Cecil county, Maryland, Nov. 18, 1828. Ho has represented his State in bothbranches of Congress, and politically ia a representative man of the Southern Radicals. J. D. Cox is a native of Canada, aon-io-law of President Finney, of College. Was a distinguished General in the army. Has been Governor of the State of Ohio. Maj. Gen. J. M. Schofield is a a native of Pennsylvania; is a graduate of West Point, and distinguished himself as an officer in the war. These nominations were unanimously confirmed by the Senate on the sth.

Breaking up the Legislature.

Last Thursday, a number of Democratic Senators and Representative sufficient to break a quorum in, both branches of our State Leg islature, sent in their resignations to Governor Baker. This action was agreed upon in caucus, to prevent a rote being taken on the proposed XVth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which had been brought before the Legislature for action, they believing a sufficient number of members were in favor of it to secure its ratification. By this unprecedented action important legislation is brought to a summary end, many proposed and very necessary reforms are left unconsumated, and, worse than all else, io those interested, sundry appropriation bills were not passed. How far this course is justifiable remains to be seen. If a majority of the people of Indiana are opposed to the Amendment, the action will ba sustained, and is proper, as it was the only way open to prevent its ratification by the present Legislature, and bring it before the people as an issue; on the other hand if a majority favor its provisions, these men will be condemned «< conspiring to defeat needful legislation, and causing vexatious deJay .ana needless expense.

Special Election.

<lwernor Baker has issued his preoqpt for a special election to be theld on the 23d instant, in the severalTfistriets whose Senators and Representatives so hastily ran from the Capital last Thursday, i Although it may be ble to effect certain legislation, and that dir era appropriation* be made for specific purposes, the situation is not so critical at this tune as to -make » special election necessary, more especially as the regular April election is so close at hand, when the special election might be included with but little additional expense. From estimates we find in the Indianapolis Journal the cost of the ■ special election will not be lees than *78,000, the balk of which might hare been saved-to the tax- i payers had Governor Baker bee* slittie more deliberate in his action.

Mr. Johnson's farewell.

In leaving the Presidential office and, as be says, surrendering the government into the bauds of his successor, Mr. Johnson took occasion to issue a farewell addreas to ! the people of the United States. — We have not room to present this address in the Union, the space being occupied with matter which we think will prove more interesting to the majority of our readers. The farewell ia very much after the manner of its message and veto [ predecessors, fult ofaelf-praise, barrowing details of martyrdom for his constitutional love, persecution for i righteousness sake, and protestations of eternal devotion to principle, together with wonderful and abiding confidence in the wisdom and integrity of the people, an abiding faith in their ability for self-government, and interspersed with bitterness and malice, reproach and crimination, towards and of the Republican party, its leaders, representatives, abettors and friends. He contends that time and the events of his administration have fully vindicated bis policy of the reconstruction of the Southern State, lie charges upon a corrupt, wilful and perverse Congress the responsibility tor the outrages that have begn committed in the South from time to time since the war closed, and absolves himself from all complicity, directly or remotely in the massacres and bloodshed in that distracted section since the war. It was the perversity of Congress, he says, in not ordering Jeff. Davis and his confreres to trial, that provoked him to grant them full amnesty and pardon for crimes they had committed against the country. Thus Mr. Johnson’s last act before laying aside the robes oi office was to denounce Congress as responsible and chargeable for the prominent features of his administration. And in framing his excuse and vindication, instead of boldly advocating them as the result of sincere conviction in their justice and wisdom, he in effect admits them to be wrong, and leaves the impression that they were born of studied malice and adopted as measures of retaliation to punish congressional opposition, and in this manner he adds to the charges of his most hostile enemies tbe testimony of bis own admissions, and places his friends before the country as the dupes of a revengeful charlatan.

The Inaugural Speech.

The Inaugural speech of General Grant (which is given on the first page of the Union) is in keeping with the well-known plainness and eminent good sense of the man. No rhetorical flourishes, no ambiguity, no double-meaning sentences to confuse the reader or distract the mind, there can be no mistaking of his intention, if he intends what he says. That he intends what he says there can be no doubt, for he has not shown himself to be a hypocrite or dissembler. Whatever hopes unscrupulous politicians may have entertained that Mr. Grant would lend himself to further schemes foreign to the in-. can derive no comfort from the present indications ot his position or the policy he intends to adopt in the government of his administration. Nominated and elected by tho people, he owes nothing of his success to professional wire-pullers, and seems to neither court their favor nor fear their displeasure. Independent of cliques or rings he does not hesitate to inform the nation that he will have an opinion of his own upon all questions of national polity, and having these opinions will not hesitate to makq them known, and so far as tho constitution permits and provides, will advocate and endeavor to carry them into effect. But at the same time he assures all that the laws of the land will be executed to the extent of his ability, faithfully, in spirit and to the letter, and iu this manner he will avoid the great error of the administration of bis predecessor who obstinately refused to enforce laws to which he was opposed. As an exponent of the President’s political opinions, the inaugural address is what might be expected from the man elected upon the Republican platform and should be satisfactory to all who endorsed tbe views there laid down.

G. Blain, of Maine, was elected Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, on the sth instant, on the first ballot Hon. M. C. Kerr, of Indiana, was the Democratic candidate. HTThe Indianapolis Mirror says, “About one hundred per cent of Bombay’s population are lepers.’’ Can it tell what the rest are? ,1 IO —■ < , General Dix denies having made a speech in favor of tho Greeks.

The Proposed XVth Amendment.

The following is the proposed Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, recommended by Congress, and now submitted to the Legislatures of the several States for ratifioation: ü ße it ruolvtd, That the following amendment to the constitution of the United States be submitted to the Legislatures of the several States, and, when ratified by threefourths thereof, it shall become a part of the Constitution: “Art. 15. The right of the citizens of the United States to vo.te shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any State, on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. “Sec. 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.” As perhaps might bo expected, the Democrats are almost a unit in opposition to its adoption, while the Republicans arc not united in its favor. It involves principles of graye national importance which deeply affect the interests of every man in the country. It demands careful thought and should not be hastily passed upon. Without expressing an opinion upon its merits we may be permitted to doubt the expediency of a policy that would rush its ratification through legislatures elected upon a platform which expressly stipulated that the question of suffrage in the loyal States belongs exclusively to the. people of those States. “No person appointed to any office instituted by this act shall directly or indirectly be concerned or interested in carrying on the business of trade or commerce, or be owner of the whole or in part of any sea vessel, or purchase by himself, or another in trust for him, any other public property, * * * * or take or apply to his own use any emoluments or gain for negotiating, or transacting any business in the said department, other than what shall be allowed by law; and if any person shall offend against any of the prohibitions of this act, he shall be deemed guilty of a high misdemeanor, and forfeit tn the United States the penalty of $3,000, and shall, upon conviction, be removed from office, and forever thereafter be incapable of holding any office under the United States.” By this law, passed in 1789, it is found that A. T. Stewart, altbo’ unanimously confirmed by the Senate, is iuelligible to the office of Secretary of the Treasury, on account of being engaged in importing. Probably none of the Senators knew of tbe existence of thia law, and it would have remained forever hidden, but for tbe jealousy of some who were opposed to Mr. Stewart’s appointment. On the 6th, the President sent a message to the Senate, containing the request that inasmuch as Mr. Stewart had been unanimously confirmed by them, that a joint resolution be passed exempting him from the operation of the law.— This the Senate very properly refused to do, and Mr. Stewart m ill be forced either to close up his immense importing business, or resign the Treasury portfolio.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. General Sheridan is promoted to Lieutenant General. Another Polar expedition has sailed from Bremerhaven. The Duke of Montpensier is permitted to return to Spain. The Pope has been dead and “still living” every alternate mail for a week. General Sherman has been promoted to General, the rank occupied by Grant. The Indian war is again at an end and General Sheridan is on his way to Washington, Hon. Columbus Delano, of Ohio, is appointed Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The army appropriations have been reduced by the House from $43,000,000 to $34,000,000. General Schofield has been promoted to the rank of Major General in place of Sheridan, promoted. Ericsson, the inventor, did not die of hydrophobia, as reported a week ago. He is not dead and has not been attacked with hydrophobia; it was a man named Eckerson. Cabello de Roda is ordered to relieve General Dulce as Captain General bf Cuba and suppress the insurrection. The former he will do but the latter may not be so easyjr" A. H. Connor, of the Indianapolis Journal, and chairman of the State Republican Central Committee, wants to be Commissioner of Indian Affairs. We don’t believe he is fit. The legislatures of Nevada, Kansas, West Virginia, Missouri, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois have ratified tbe Fifteenth Constitutional amendment Seventeen more will make it a law. % ” ' S' S •' < ■ . . ■■ T - «

From the Cincinnati Commercial of February 15th. Value of Advertising in Cincinnati The Cincinnati newspapers have a national reputation, and circulate largely over half a dozen States.— We desire it understood that we do not attempt to appropriate for the Commercial exclusively this extended and excellent reputation. A share of it belongs to us, and we are not anxious as to the public appreciation of the portion that is ours. But we may speak more particularly of the Commercial because we know whereof we speak lin that connection. The Commercial circulates largely in Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Southern Illinois, and at all important points on the Mississippi River, and considerably in Southern Michigan and Missouri. Other Cincinnati papers are also circulated throughout this vast region. The territory of the-Cincinnati papers extends a day's railroad ride in every direction from the city. Tjie trade of the city can be restored throughout this territory by the aid of the press. Too many of our manufacturers have a feeling that advertising in the newspapers is not exactly the thing. They would be willing to pay for “reading matter,’’ but do not like to be palpable advertisers. When they educate themselves out of these delusions they will see their advantage in the knowledge that a business man's advertisement, for which he is plainly responsible, ts of the nature of an official document, and receives more considerate attention than a puff in the reading matter, and is both more valuable and respectable. 1
