The Administration.

Under the head of “The Administraiton” the Baltimore American has the following; The re-appointment of tfie Cabinet which had assisted President Grant in the administration of tlie Government during his first term was an event so generally anticipated that it excited but little comment, although, indeed, it was strange to the usual course of American politics. It meant, of course, that as the President rightly and justly held the result of the election to be a popular vindication of himself from, the outrageous and false assatills which were made upon linn personally, and upon his policy during the last campaign; his Cabinet were entitled to share in the vote of confidence which bad been rendered at tlie ballot-box in November. For, in so far as tlie coarsA aacusations and abundant assertions of corruption uttered against the entire Administration last summer, applied to all the gentlemen through whom the public amiirs were governed, they had tlie right to assume their proportion of the triumphant acquittal which the vast majority of the people gave. Hence we conceive that the President did the most proper think possible in continuing them in office, thefeby posting a notice to the country that as the lingers of the hand which guide the ship of State they were too indissolubty con nected with it to be Severed from tlie reward of the hearty approval which had been bestowed upon the general direction and .control of the public trusts by the Administration, which, in the campaign, underwent the test of a national criticism.
