Washington, February 28.?Cabinet talk in Congressional circles to day is that Allison will be Secretary of the Treasury. Republicans of prominence say New York will be o(fared the Treasury, The Michigan delegation is pressing Newbury for Secretary of the Navy, and some influential Illinois Republicans sre urging Commissioner Raum for Secretary of War. If.Illinois gets a cabinet place Raum will be the man. Wlndom is mentioned for the Treasury, but in the Senate the general impression hss settled back on Allison. The following communication to the milluiore jmtrtctm m uuuuveu uere 10 have been written uy one of itu editors alteratalk with Mr. Blaine. When lien. Garfield tendered the position oi Secretary of State to Mr. Blaine daring his visit to Washington, and Mr. Blaine accepted the position, how was ft possible for any one to Buppose that this tender was not accompanied by a general understanding and agreement of views as to the formation of the Cabinet? Mr. Blaine was no common office seeker, ready to take anything that might be offered, with thanks. He was askeil to make a personal sacrifice for a good administration, and those who have Imagloed chat ho was willing to be a mere cipher in the Cabinet certainly have a poor idea of the true characler of the man. The withholding of his resignation as Senator until alter bis coming iuterview with the President elect was undoubledly part and parcel of the agreement at the time of the tender and acceptance. In other words, the acceptance was accompanied with a proviso that Mr. Uarfield and himself should be able to agree aa.to the men wbo were to be selected for the other positions, that the Cabinet, ax a whole, was to be formed of men who would not be perpetually bickering and quairelllng and endeavoring to thwart the itiutir nf llta Kunralarunl Mlatu Hun. Garfield's failure to make any positive offer ol the position to any one else ought to aatlafy every one that this ia a common sense view ot the situation. There will be no other tender of Cabinet appointments to any one until alter Gen. Garlleid and Mr. Maine have met and compared views. Presuming that the Cabinet to tie named will bo one that Is entirely satisfactory to Mr. Blaine, and putting all rumors and indications Irom Mentor into a crucible of common sense, I am tempted to make a prediction as to its formation and to give my reasons for tho faith that ia in me. Judging from all indications, I should be disposed to eipect the following to be tho Cabinet finally settled upon: Secretary of State, James G, Blaine, of Maine; Secretary of the Treasury, Win. B, Allison, of Iowa; i'oatmaster General, Wrn. H. Hobinson, of New York; Secretary of War, Robert Lincoln, of Illinois; Secretary of the Navy, Archie W. Campbell, of West Virginia; Attorney General, Wayne MacVeagh, of Pennsylvania. It will be seen that in this sketch of the probablties Ohio Is thrown out, as the Presidentelect baa determined that the domlnancyof his owu State shall be discontinued under the administration. The general opinion through the country that neither Senator Coukling nor Senator Cameron could contribute to the formation of a harmonious Cabinet, at the head of which was Mr. Blaine, has doubtloBs reached Mentor, and all further efforts to placate them will probably be abandoned, Bath of these gentlemen should ondeavor to rid themselves of the odium that at lichen to them on account of their dicta(oral oourso at the last two conventions. It not only affeota them Injuriously, but It also affscta their retainers. Mr. Kolger was undoubtedly given to understand that he could have the Attorney Generalship, but I have reason to believe that Mr. Allison was settled upon for the Treasury at the Bame time that Mr. Blaine was tendered the Slate Department. Of one thing you may rest assured, that thorp will be no attempt in the final formation of the Cabinet to antagonise any wing of the Republican party, and that an honest effort will be made to close up the lino and give general satisfaction. The appointment of Mr. Campbell, of West Virginia, as Secretary of the Navy may be changed In favor of some other Southern man, but this undoubtedly an appointment tliat is very dear to the heart ol lion. Garfield. Of course Mr. Conkling will not be pleased with the appointment of Mr. Iloborison, of New York, as i'oslmastur lienoral, but then Mr. Conkling Is too good a disciplinarian to oxpect the President to Ignore the friends in New York who made his nomination probable anil possible, and cast his favors at the feet of those who opposed both him and Mr. Blaine. Whatever may be Mr. Oonkllng's desire, he would have no respect for any uian who would reward his opponents and negloct friends, lie is govorned In all klnda of rewards and punishments by this rule.

Nkw-Yobk, February 28.?The following is /mil the Dublin Trlrgram: The Average Emergency Uommltte are taking etops to meet the wishes of a large number of landlords who are abont to evict defaulting tenants, and who desire that the committee should supply them with proteatant tenants from Ulster and elsewhere. Lists will be opened for the names of those who are willing to accept the farms from which tenants have been evicted, and doubtless there will be no i lack of applicants, for exaggerated descriptions of the power which will be placed In tho hands of tbe autliorltlee by the Coercion bill have already emboldened all who opposed the tactics of the Land League. Numerousovlctions, many ol a most (listiessing character, are taking place all over Ireland. The eviction ol Hev. Patrick Hurley, parish priest ol Kil Koman, mugs county, lias created no little consternation. The Kev. Father's predecessor took the house and farm o( forty aures Irom the middleman landlord, and retaining the house and garden BUh-lot the lanil to three tenants, ltent 07 pounds and valuation 42 pounds. When the reverend gentleman was appointed in the pariah he had taken uptlie land and work at a loss. He had to also hold himself responsible lor the rent of the sub tenants who fell Into arrears. The priest then handed the land over to an energetic young farmer of tho neighborhood. The middleman landlord refused to recognise this tenant and took proceedings against the Kov. Mr. Ilurloy aud sub-tenants on the smaller portions of the farm. The county Chairman refused to grant the decree, but the case was taken to the Queen's Bench, and the result was that on Tuesday morning last the Parish nrleat was evicted and his furniture put Into thes reet and his aub tenauts similarly treated.
