The new American President has nominated his Cabinet, which is
a good, though extremely moderate one. Mr. Evarts, an able lawyer, well known in this country, is to be Secretary of State ; Mr. Sherman, a brother of the General, Secretary of the Treasury ; Mr. Karl Schurz, once a leader in the Baden revolt, and now the most prominent German in the Union, and a deter- mined reformer, Secretary of the Interior ; Mr. Key, a Tennessee Democrat, Postmaster-General ; Mr. M'Crary, a Western man, hitherto unknown, Secretary for War ; Mr. Thompson, Secretary of the Navy ; and Mr. C. Devens, Attorney-General. The Re- publicans in the Senate dislike the nomination of Mr. Schurz and Mr. Key, and wish Mr. D. Cameron to remain Secretary at War, and have referred all the nominations to committees. It is believed, however, that Mr. Conkling, who, with Mr. Blaine, leads the majority, will give way, in which case the Democratic Senators, satisfied by Mr. Key's nomination, will give the President the victory. Mr. flayes's inaugural speech, of which an account is given elsewhere, has apparently caused great satisfaction to moderate Democrats and ann oyance to extreme Republicans, who, through Mr. Blaine, loudly denounce his "policy of surrender."
