Time: The "return natch" in the 4 'home home" series between Oenerals Butler and and Kilpatiivk 18 goiog on finely. The "Innings" (to borrow A figure from crloket) at Lowell last fall ended In the bowling oat of Kilpat rick with a very small soore. In the present Washington match, Butler first went to the bat, aDd it looked for a while as If his Chill friend would be also batted oat of his game, with Deither honors nor profits. Bat now the latter has suddenly retrieved himself, bo that we are already prepared to hail him viotor. We speak thus metaphorically of the con test over the "consolidation of the South Amerioan Missions" whioh, after being etlauted in the House, at Butler's instance, has just been undone again In the Senate at Kilpatrick's instance -because those gentle men represent this to be "purely a personal matter." Or, rather, General Butler takes the ground that he is proceeding from purely patriotic and General Kilpatrick from purely personal motives. While General Kilpatrick makes, curiously enough, exactly the same point against General Butler. Kilpatrick says that Butler resolved last November to "crush Kilpatrick," and that "now the blow has came." If so, not only does Kil patrick evidently have "claims on Chili," (probably on account of "the Te Dewn") but lJutler as evidently admits that he has claims, or else he himself would not try to 'crush Kilpatrick" in this particular way. Butler, we repeat, carried the ilouse by a great majority, while Kilpatrick has carried the Senate by a majority equally great. Whioh of the two must yield ? Butler de fends his proposition on the highest of grounds economy; and that is preoisely the ground on which Kilpatrick defends his. Which is right? And is it a "national" or a "personal" matter this nnion of the Chili and Pern mis sions f Here is a fine ohance for oil on the troubled waters for a compromise between Butler and Kilpatrick, arranged by some luutual friend of both. The New Cabinet. From the iV. T. Tribune. We are gradually discovering who are not going into the new Cabintt The Springfield Republican announces, by authority appa rently, that Mr. Kvarts "does not wish to con tinue Attorney-General under Grant. Were he offered the post of his old friend Mr. Seward his feelings might be different, but he will not serve as Attorney-General under the new ad ministration." Mr. J, W. Forney reminds us that "under Polk, Buchanan was regarded as the future Secretary of State three months before the inauguration; so with Webster Tinder Taylor, Marcv under Fierce, and Seward under Lincoln." Now, however, "the whole situation impresses everybody with the belief tha4, the man who can manage such a condi tion of affairs so wisely, shows by this single trait a rare aptitude for the great work con fided to him by a grateful people." Even Mr. Gideon Welles, it is rumored, contemplates retirement, and feels no interest in the naval appropriations. We can hardly credit this. Mr. Doolittle certainly does not intend enter ing the Cabinet, as he proposes coming to New York to reside. Nor do we suppose that Mr. Henderson has any ambition of this kind, or he would not run away to Cuba. Thus we might continue our process of elimination, if the discussion were really of value. The truth is, this "Cabinet question" is of little interest to anybody but the small com pany of politicians who live in the city of Washington. We should like to know the names early enough on March 4 to have de cent biographical sketches written for the Tribune of March f, but there our curiosity ends. The Cabinet is not an essential part of the Government. In a pinoh, we have no doubt republican institutions could survive the omission to appoint any Cabinet at all. The offioes are created to give the Executive efficiency. A Cabinet serves the President as a staff serves the general of an army, and It remains for the President to say just what service it shall perform. He may select statesmen and experienced politicians, whose province it would be to counsel him leaving the routine work to subor dinates. He may take representative party men, and give his Cabinet a political signifi cance. He may call around him councillors, or creatures, or workers the oountry holds him and not them responsible. When Gen. Washington became President he gave the State Department to a man eminent among "the statesmen" of the period. His Attorney- General was a superficial lawyer. His Secre tary of the Treasury waa an aide on his mili tary Staff, a young man of thirty-three. "You are to marshal us as may be best for the pub lic good." l ma was Jetiaraon'a theory ol tne President's relations to his Cabinet offlo ers. Washington treated them as ministers, with power at times to overrule nis own decisions. A merry time they gave him when the ambition of Hamilton and Jefferson began to fester 1 Jaokaon's Cabinet waa composed finally of creatures blind mediums of bis will such a Cabinet as we now see under Mr. Johnson. Mr. Seward assures us that a Secretary is merely the "deaoon" of the church. We therefore presume Mr. Johnson's theory to be that his Cabinet advisers serve at his feaBts and distribute the bread and the wine. - He has certainly been well served. Mr. Lincoln probably had no theory. He seemed to have dropped the name of his rivals at the Chicago Convention into a hat and taken out the first seven. His Cabinet was neither one thing nor another. His policy, for instanoe, had so more unsparing oritio than tha Secretary. of the Treasury, Mr. Chase. Omittinir Seward, Chase, and Stanton, Lin coin's Cabinet was weak, and of these three Mr. Stanton waa probably the only one upon whom he could lean, or who was personally rlavoted to him. It the war had not held the T.innnln Government tegdiber by the force-of outside pressure, it would have been shattered In two vears. ttanral Grant will find precedents for every he may take but one. No President has ever made his Cabinet merely so many staff-offloers, and fleleoted them without regard to thnlr nolit ca. Influence, or lame, it is pis nihil he may consider that to do this will bs to best serve the publio, and that he means to put men in power who will do the civil work, Inst as Generals Rawlins, and Badeau. and Parker, and the remainder or ms stan, ao me arm v work now. He may say, for instance, to General Rawlins or General Badeau, "I give nii tint Treasury, and I want the revenues collected, and you must have no thought of politics; you obey my orders, and take counsel Jrom no other authority." This would be quite as ' constitutional a Cabinet as Mr. Lincoln's, but it would praotloally remove eui oi tn rug vi ambition any , Cabinet station, aud its puccess as an experiment would depend upon the temper of Congress. A Cabinet oiliye has grown to be almost the prerogative of ambi tious politicians, and they will not easily snr-1 render it. There is a large number of "ripe I and experienced statesmen" who look upon a portfolio as their right. When wo oome to coldly analyze their claims we have odd re sults. One aspirant has been the "war-horse" of his State for thirty years! For thirty years he has lived upon the Government, and now his office has fled t He has "claims," therefore, ard must "have something I" An other "statesman" did not receive the nomina tion he expected at the last convention I He pulled his wires sedulously, but he was beaten by a small majority. Now he demanda "re cognition i" Another has wealth and ambi tion, but yearns for society. He simply asks to be the "common sense" member of the administration. He can neither write, nor speak, nor suggest, and probably did not de termine to vote for Grant until he was sure he was to be elected. Now he thinks Grant should surround himself with "practical men." The gushing young orator who stumped every county in his State (expenses and servioe all duly paid by the committee), and has been four years in the House, desires to spend six in the Senate. The patronage of the Interior, for instanoe, would fix the Senate question, and so he demands consideration "on behalf of the people," and as "the reward of his many toils!" With men like these, clamorous, uueasy, and eager for mere advaVeemeut, we can un derstand the doubt and hesitation of General Grant, and can well appreciate his rumored determination to make his Cabinet a personal staff, selected for their power to work and their devotion to his administration. We venture no suggestions. As we have said, we have no curiosity and little conoern about the Cabinet. Grant has but to consider two things first, his duty to the people, and seooud, his obligations as a man of honor to the Re publican party. He can find the men to do his work, and we trust he may find men who will work. Every other consideration is second to this. His history shows that we may trust his judgment. When great battles were to be fought he found one instrument in command of a dratted camp in disgraoe and under a cloud; another in an ex quartermas ter commanding a small cavalry detachment. We presume there were many "experienced" and "ambitious" soldiers wbo murmured at the strange and unmilitary preference. But neither soldier nor citizen now questions the wisdom that lifted from obscurity and gave to the armies of the Union the brilliant Sherman and the ilhistrious Sheridan. Is the United Mutes to I'rotcct From the N. Y. Herald. There is no denial of the truth that to-day the United States Senate is the focus of all the great rings which have combined for the wholesale plunder of the national wealth. We recognize this, however, as the very natural result of the gigantic struggle through whioh it has been our destiny to pass. Before the war was sprung upon us, we were the repre Eentatives of a single magnificent impulse of civilization working in a thoroughly legitimate direction. We scarcely had a government, and hardly needed one. Our people looked for position, for profits, for honors -in the development of the country. If there existed a few government contractors, they were so few that they were lott upon the Indian fron tier or in the din of commerce and manufac tures. The, war came; pur progress was turned baek upon ' itself, or was, by the foroe of events, Bhaped into warlike channels. Many of the keen brains that had aided in conduct ing us to civilization became demoralized, and, losing sight of their former efforts, trained their powers upon the United States Treasury; for it was in this Treasury that tne wnole wealth, the whole strength and sinew of the people was poured as the most potent force for tne preservation or an intact nation ality. The Treasury, therefore, represented a vast contribution of the profits of civilization from those who had been laboring to produoe it in the Northern States. From this almost inexhaustible storehouse vast gums were to be expended for national preservation. Those who have but one principle in business life, and that "to go as near Sing Sing as possible and miss it," immediately grasped at tne splendid prize, and grasped it, too. through the United States Congress. Contracts for arms, munitions of war, ships and supplies were generously aeait out in true poiiuoai style to the eonstituents of those members of Congress who depended for position more upon financial inuuence or personal oorrup tion than upon native genius. And so the war continued. Every day the corruption increased, until ring after ring was formed, each circling about a hundred minor rings, and an enclosed witmn tne one great oirole, the United States Congress, and especially its Senatorial branch. At length the war olosed, hut it left behind it the most gigantio fabrio of swindling that the world has seen. It pervaded every de partment of our Government, and threw its shadow over every Congressional aot. Under the glittering plea of reconstruction the peo ple were entertained four years, while the leeches upon the publio purse clung not only to the Treasury, but to the Congress through which tney tnrivea. The power has now changed. Formerly the Congress controlled the rings; but these have grown to magnificent proportions, and now in turn show their power over those who gave them being. How far this ring influenoe ex tends is now clearly marked. Under the lash of the Hon. Ben Butler the line has been drawn, and the Tenure-of-Oilloe bill marks the division. The House of Representatives has placed itself in opposition to the existing ring system, and by its vote has shown to the peo ple who is and wno is not in ravor ot support ing the corruptions of war. We have now to deal with the Senate the great ring whioh is described about all the others; the ring which has conferred all ap pointments and keeps them confirmed; the ring that has almost ruined the country by trying to absorb the whole power of the Gov ernment, and the ring whioh now shows an unbroken front, and apparently stands pledged to sustain with all its resistive foroe the attack which it foresees the ooming ad ministration will make upon it. Here, then, the issue is boldly drawn, and we may at once prepare for an encounter between the publio plunderers through the United States Senate and the Kxtnmtlve branch of the Gov ernment. The Senate in the oontest will reprsent the amount of plunder whioh has been gathered in the last seven years, while General Grant will represent the wish of the people for a return to eoonomioal and careful administration of the publio property, trea sure, and civil positions. The former will doubtless make a very desperate struggle, but the people, suffering to the last extreme to maintain the host of thieves who now fatten upon the national misery, will support Grant. There is but one way for the Senate to set itself right before the country, and that is by following the lead of the House of Represen tatives Jn the revocation of the Tenare-of-Olfice law. The United Slates Senate is not Lonnd to nroteot thieves, no matter how un fortunate it has been in falling into their hands. Better break loose from them at onoe, or the people, under the ooming admin istration, will tumble the whole Senatorial fabrio to the ground and reorganise that body after tha model set by the founders of the Government. The Redaction of tho Army. From the If. T. Times. It is agreed on all hands that a redaction of the army is both practicable and desirable, and yet, in the multiplicity of methods of re duction, it begins to be somewhat questiona ble whether some of the various plans will not so counteract as to give us no immediate re duction at all. Congress, meanwhile, has nnqnestionably gone to work in the right way by taking the opinions of sound and able offloers of Intelli gence, candor, and experience. The remedy proposed by nearly all these offloers is con solidationconsolidation of all aorta, from companies in the field up to bureaus in Wash ington; and Secretary Schofield capped the climax by suggesting the consolidation of the War and Navy Departments under one head. Now, the important and hopeful feature in this theory of "consolidation" is that it re duces expenses in the most expensive part of the military establishment namely, among officers, You must discharge a great many private soldiers before you equal the saving made by mustering out one oilioer. You can defray with a Major-General's pay and allow ances the wages of a great many soldiers. Hence, we say, the striking feature of the plans proposed of late by officers for reducing the army in this wholesale slaughter among departmental bureaus where so much mere clerkly work is done by those who have the rank and pay of high commissioned officers. And yet, the moment that a proposition is broached to carry "consolidation" into prao t'cal effect, it arouses hostility. For example, Mr. Wilson's bill proposes to reduoe the in fantry regiments to thirty, by consolidating such of them as may at any time fall below a certain fixed mark of regimental strength, from the natural causes of depletion. This proposition calls out opposition on the ground that it "destroys the identity of regiments" and "blots out their record." Bat, after all, you must either do that or blot out some regi ments altogether, lou cannot nave your cake and eat it. And we venture to say that this mode of reduction would be more acceptable in general than the rude turning out of their profession oi omcers whose only crime is that they are de trap. Many of the new regiments are officered by men once cotnected with old ones, and pro moted to their new commands for special gal lantry in the war. What will you do with them f Turn them o.-it altogether r bet them adrift with no profession 1 It seems to us that Mr. vvilfon's proposition is Union more juBt in making .the rtdue'.ion less sudden and pro viding vacancies tor cnioers whom we raised to their places only the other day. The fact is, that we treat the army officers rather cavalierly in thus constantly expanding and contracting the army by legislation, each time snapping oil official beads by the score in the process. It was we who appointed them to their present commands, mainly as rewards for service, and we should therefore make our economics "'oas little injustice as possible to them. It is worse than per petually giving medals for service, and then taking them away again for a whim; because it is occupations that we are daling with. It is aleo clear that in any system of reorga nization some sacrifice of the constituent parts of corps must be made. But, by leaving details to the war .Department and, substantially, to General Grant Mr. Wilson's bill provides that practical justice may be .done. The eight regiments will doubtless he Consolidated, the right names, numbers, and Hags will remain. As it Is, there is a perpetual ebb aud ilow of the rank and file in evry regiment, whereby, though its traditions and honors remain, its actual members change. As for offloers, their own promotions carry them from regiment to regiment. Our purpose, however, is not specially to commend Senator's Wilson's bill as the best possible method of reduction. On the con trary, we think that, in connection with it, some peremptory reduotion csuld be effected. We only wished to show that it is hopeless to wait for a plan to which no possible objection could be raised. General Grant and tne Republican Tarty. From the N. Y. World. An editorial ef the Times, though writ ten with a different aim, corroborates all the World has said respecting the distrust and ill-feeling which have grown up between General Grant and the Republican leaders. Trying to deny all it can, the Times finds itself able to deny so little that it deepens rather than effaces the impression that General Grant and the Republican leaders have no confidence in eaoh other. The President-elect, the Timet would have us think, is going to appeal from the Republican leaders to the Re publican masses; that is, he is going to unseat the recognized chiefs of the party and mount into their vacant saddle himself. But as he has never been a Republican, except pro hac vice to be a candidate for office, the eteed may prove a little restive under so raw a rider. The Timet has a clear enough per ception of this difficulty, and seeks to evade it by suggesting that General Grant will form a new party of his own, consisting of the con servative Republicans and moderate Demo crats, using each of the old parties ai a quarry for the construction of his new edifice. This is the same idea whioh the Seward clique put into the bead of President Johnson, and which blossomed out in the famous Philadelphia Convention. We doubt whether the success of that brilliant endeavor has prepossessed the masses of either party in favor of a similar experiment. The Times' aiticle makes General Grant about the same kind of a Republican that President Johnson affected to be in 18o'5-tj, and conjectures that hswill adopt the same tactios. We have no leisure to look into the files of the Times for the year preceding the Phila delphia Convention; but if -our memory be not at fault, such a search would supply us with many articles in the same vein as the one quoted articles the burdenof which was to show that the Republican party had accom plished its mission, and to facilitate the forma tion of a new party oomposed chiefly of Re publican elements, with a sufficient accession of Democrats to overbalance the loss of the radicals. The role assigned to President John son then, was similar to that suggested for uenerai urant now. It is so easy for the mind to slide into for mer trains of thought, that it may not be very snrprlsing that the editor of the Timet, who was the author of the Philadelphia Address, should look at new subjeots from his old points of view; but one would suppose that he, at least, won 11 remember the autumn blight of that movement, as well as its spring buds. He was pitched neok-and-heels out of the Republican National Committee, of which he was chairman, like oatan over the battle ments of heaven: and he sullenly abandoned the movement when he found that the Pernor oratio Convention of this State could not be inveigled into a compromise of Its position True indeed it is, that . General Grant was a . Philadelphia Convention man as well as Mr. Raymond; that be 'stood at the right hand of President Johnson when he received the Philadelphia Qoiuuilt- tee; that he was in the retinue of the Presi dent while the latter "swung around the clrole" making Bpeeob.es to promote the Phi ladelphia movement. .. Bat the Times goes pretty far in assuming, at this late day, in spite of all that has since ooonrred, that Gene ral Grant, from having been a lackey in such a movement, is now preparing to become the leader in a similar one. It waa onoe a oustom in great houses for laokeys to inherit the gar ments of their lords after they had ceased to be in fashion; but the relative positions of General Grant and President Johnson have so greatly changed, that the new President may have some relnotanoe to wear the cast-off po litical clothes of his predecessor. Perhaps the 'J imcs thinks it would be pleasant for him to be the central body in such a system than a satellite. If suoh a movement could suooeed, it might please General Grant to lead it; but perhaps he will regard President Johnson's attempt to form a personal party rather as a warning than an example. If Mr. Johnson, Instead of trimming for the first year or two, and trying to form a new party, had boldly thrown himself upon the support of the Democrats, he and not GeneraVOrant would take the inauguration oath on the 4th of next month. To govern successfully with out a party, or to form a personal party, is impossible under our institutions. Even Washington could not stand upon his personal influence, but was forced into the Federal party. The only two Presidents who ever at tempted to form a personal party were Tyler and Johnson, one having been elected by Whigs and the other by Republicans. They felt that it would not be quite honorable to go straight into the camp of the enemy; but they had better have done so than to incur the vigorous maledictions of the party that elected them without g-alning the oonddence of the other. Both Tyler and Johnson were made candidates because they were not in fall sympathy with the party, as a make-weight to catch doubtful votes. General Grant was given the first place ou the Republican ticket for the same reason that in the preceding election Mr. Johnson was as signed the second. Generally, when a Presi dent and the party that elected him find them selves out of harmony, it is in consequence of the unintended promotion to the first office of a man who was elected to the second. It was a dispensation of Providence, and not party prevision, that brought about the jangle. Bat in this case, the Republican party has delibe rately elected a man known to be out of sym pathy with them to the office of President. They have knowingly created such an incon gruity as accidentally happened by the eleva tion of Mr. Johnson to an office they never intended he should fill. They thought it a clever piece of strategy to seduce General Grant to be their andidate, and prevent his election by the Democrats. But this kind of smartness is very apt to overreach itself. In the present instance, it has led to a jangle be fore the inauguration, and noooay in tne ne publican party knows what to count upon afterwards. BRANDY, WHISKY, WINE, ETC.
