The Cabinet reconstructora having ‘decided that Becretary Fish 1s to retire trom the Cabinet about the ist of June, are busily casting about for his suc- wessor. A New York paper announced the other day that William M. Evarts was to be the coming Pre- miler, That gentleman arrived here tu-aay and was ‘eset with a crowd of anxious inquirers and dis- Anterested friends, all cager to know 1 he was going to acoopt. Mr. Evarts had the same answer for everybody, namely—that the place had not been offered him, aud if it was he would not accept. He ces not want anything in the shape of office, and hhe has no idea that one will be tendered him, A prominent Senator states that the successor to Mr. Fish will come irom New Y and that he will Provably be ex-Governor Morgan. It seems settled now that Senator Morion, who has all along been booked for the State Department, % toremain im the Senate. He asserted on che last day of ihe late session of Congress that he was not gBolng into the State Department. ‘The. truth 1s, Mor- ton ts of more use to General Grant m the Senate @han he would bein the State Department, a fact ‘Which both he and the President seem to recognize, The retirement of Mr. Fish 13 no longer a mater of doubt. He has made all his arrangements co leave here on the ist of June, The house im which he re- mides, and which belongs to Governor Morgan, has ‘Deen leased to auother party, possession to be given ‘on the ist of June. “Trooly Loyal” Southern Claimants. Since the recent publication of the names and Tesidences of all claimants whose cases are vefore Ug Southern Claims Commission, the comimission- ers have been in daily receipt of information con- werning the “loyalty’* of this and that claimant that differs materially from the statements of the Bo-calied loyalists themse.ves, The object of the Commissioners in giving publicity to these names 1s to obtain the co-operation of all originaily loyal People in detecting imposters or eleventh-nour con- verts tothe Union faith. They hope by tais means to present such uaimpeachable recommendations to Congress as wiil secure to the really deserving Claimants a speedy payment of their long-accruing ques, discarding claims of doubtful or unworthy character. : Record of the New Superintendent of the West Point Academy. The assignment of General Thomas H. Kuger as Superintendent of the Multtary Academy, in place of General Pitcher, aunouaced to- @ay, 18 a subject of interest in military circles, where it is looked upon as a recos- Dition by the’ Executive anthoriues of Con- ressional views relative to the neea of an over- Danling of matters at West Point, and as going even fur.her than contemplated by the recent resolutions oftie House of Representatives, reaching, as it does, nearer to the bottom of the troubles at the m- Btitution.

Vijepixne, ail wenerals in the Vontederate reryice, stood thitd ia the list of graduates and was assigned asa brevet fecond lieutenant of engtneers, Resiguing aiter a Bhort period of service, he returned to Wiscon- Bin and became a lawyer at Jonesville, Among the first of the retirea graduates to take up arms ia the Union cause, he sought no place An the augmented regular army, but came to Wash- Angton with a regiment of Wisconsin volunteers, intending with wi emergency had passed. His first active service was along the upper Potomac and in the valley; but foluing the Army of the Potomac with ius Western brigade he shared the varying fortunes of that army till sent, first, to New York city after the drait riots of 1853, and subsequently to the West, after She disaster of Chicamauga, There, under General Thomag, he took part, as brigade ani division com- manider, in the desperate conflicts beginning before Atlanta and ending with the overthrow of Hood before Nashville. Under the Army bill of 3806 he was selected by General Grant for the col- Onelcy ol one of the new regiments of infantry, and Bince then has been on duty in various poruions of the South, part of the time as commander of the Military district, under the construction acts, em- bracing Georgia and other States. He was also a member of the late board to muster out ineficient urmy oMicers, General Kuger’s reputation in the army and in his State 1s thatef an intelligent, firm and straightforward m: and officer, not brilliant, but reilable, His present appointment is alleged to he due wholly to selection, without solici- tation or Importunity from any quarter. With such Q wilitary and civil record to sustain his choice the Becretary of War beheves he has found the proper person to restore the wavering discipline of the Academy and preserve to tt its ancient reputation, General Ruger arrived here on other business last Saturday, aud learned of his new appointment only to-day and from the ofictal order. The Supervising Lospecior Geacral of Stean- bon The act of February 28, 1871, to provide for the better security of lite on board of vessels propelled fn whole or in part by steam, creates the oiice of Bupervising Inspector General of steamboats, To- Wards the close of tie session the President, at the suggestion of Secretary Doutwell, noulnated Joseph Nimmo, Jr, a clerk in the Treasury Department. Ut was charged ta executive session that Mr, Nimmo lacked the necessary qualifications for the place, and he was not confirmed. His nomination failed with the close of the session and tere is now a lively scramble for the piace. The Western men, who claim that they are most concerned about the ex- ecution of the steambons laws, are generally op- Posed to Nimmo, on the ground, as they assert, that he is not qualified for the position. Benjamin Craw- ford, of Pittsburg, seems to be the choice of the Western steamboat men.

In the case of Dobbins vs. the Com- of Erie county (6 435), it decided that ft was not competent tor the Legislaure of te to levy a tax upon the salary or emoluments of an officer of the United States. ‘The decision was place mainly pon the ground that the oficer was a means or instrumen- tatity employed for carrying into effect some of the legitimate powera of the government, which could not be in- ter. with) by taxation or otherwise by the States, and that the salary or compensation for the service of the oflicer wi paradly connected with the oltice; that if the officer, as such, wiv exempt, the salary assigned for bis Suppor or maintenance while bold- ing the oftice was also, for like reasons, equally exempt, The cases of McCulloch va, Maryland (4 Wh., 816), and Weston vs. Charleston (1 Pet, 449), were referred to as settling the principle that governed thé case-—namely, that the tate governments cannot lay a tax upon the constitu. tional means employed by the government of the Union to execute iis constitutional powers. ‘The soundness of this principie ia happily iiuatrated vy the Chief Justice in McCulloch vs. Maryland, p. 432 “If the States,” he ob- serves, “may tax one instrument employed by the government in the execution of its powers, they may tax any and every other instrument, They may tax the mail, they may tax the Mint, they may tax patent rights, they may tax judiclul pro cess, they may tax ail the means employed vy the covert ment to an’ excess which would defeat wll the ends of government, This," he ooserves, “was not intended by American people. ‘They did not desizn to make th ment dependent on the States.” Again, page 43 ower of taxing it—the bank—by the States may #0 far a8 to destroy it 1s too obvious to be denie Weston vs, The City of Charieston, he observes, paze 408, ‘Hf the right to {mposo the tax’ exisis it is a right which, in “its natuce, acknowledges no limits.

In my udgnent the limitation of the power of taxation in the Reneral government which the present decision establishes, will be found very dificult of control, Where are we to stop in enutherating the tunctions of the State governments which will be interfered with by federal taxa- tion? If astate incorporate a railroad to carry out its pur- poses of internal improvement, or a bank to aid {ts financial Arrangements, resorving, periaps, a percentage on the stock and profits for the supply of its own treasury, will the bonds ‘or socks of such un iustitution be free'from federal taxation? How can we now tell what the effect of thia decision will be? 1 cannot but regard it as founded on a fallacy, and that it will lead to mis- chievous consequences. fam as much opposed as any Man ean be to any Interference by the general yovernment with the just powers of the State govern But no concession of any of the just powera of the ral government can easily be recalled, I therefore con: record my dissent, wi made.

This order of General Pleasonton will doubtless lead to further litigation, but it is the policy of the govern- ment to cling to the taxes collected, and not to yleld except upon the mandatory orders of the highest legal tribunal of the country.

HAvtrax, N. S., April 20, 1871, From 8 prominent Nova Scotia meinber of the Dow minion Parliament, who arrived here from Ottawa last evening, I have obtained @ confirma ton of the recently circulated rumor of the probable with- drawal of Sir John Young from the Governor Gen- eralship of the Dominion of Canada, It 18 abso- lutely certain that after the conclusion of she labors of the Joint High Commission at Washington his Excellency will go to England on a visit, and tt is seml-ofictally ultered that he will not be likely to return, Whether the termination of his control of the destinies of tae Dominion is in accordance with a voluntary act of Sir John or the result of a deter- | mination of her Mejesty 8 @ matter upon which there is at present uo clear or definite light. ‘There are various rumors and considerable Interest manifestea concernins his probable successor, If It istn fact true toat Sir Jonn is to be withdrawn, His taamedtate or temporary vacancy, it 19 said, will be supplied by Sir Hastings Doyle, the Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Nova Scotia, and it Is also surmised and stated that the seat of the Do- minion government will be removed for the present, if not permanently, from Ottawa to Halifax, Wath Sir Hastings Doyle for acting Governor General of the Dominion, il) position of Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia will probably be filed by Sir Hdward Kenny. B Among those suggested as the permanent success sor of Sir John Youug | have heard the name of the Marquis of Lorn, the recent acquisition to the family of her Majesty. His Royal Highness Prince arthur has also been named, but it ls hardly likely that the Queen will place one so young—even If he be her own son—in such @ promiment poat- tion, The Canadians themselves—ihose who profess loyalty to the imperial govern. meat and the mother country—would probably prefer the appointment of some of their own num- ber—say such @ man as Sir John A. Macdonald, His chances for the Lonor, however, will undoubtedly depend largely upoa the manner in which be acquite Himself in the settiement of the international ditt culties. If ho msists strongly on “Canadian rights” he will not only hoid but increase nis popularity among the government party in the Domimon, buat at the same time he may lay himseif liable to eritt- cism by the imperial government and thus ard his chances for political elevation by the Queen, But a8 such a favor can only come from the Crown, It would be consistent with human natare in general for the “Knight of Kingston’ to favoras nearly as possible the views taken by the imperial members of the High Commission. Inasmucn ag he seems not to have done this so far, it is reasonable to assume that the /remior acts from honest convictions, and don’t care to compromise his opinious for che prom pects of political promotion, This, it must be ad- mitted, 15 very commendapvle for Sir John A, Mac- donald or any one else.
