CABINET RECONSTRUCTION Just now the air is filed with rumors im re- gard to a general reconstrnction of the Cabinet. ‘The rumors, vague im regard to a general re- construction, are more specific in respect to Wo of the members, Messrs. Seward aud Me- Culloch. It is alleged that Mr. Seward is«im- practicable,” and should be succeeded by a statesman of broader views, vigorous, practi. cable, and popular withal. Against Mr. Mc- Culloch, it ts said that he substantially wars against the interests of the Administration by distributing bis patronage amongst the ememies of the administration. We have reason to believe that the President is pot A party to the movement against these Cabinet officers. It is well known that Secre tary McUulloch has not consented to remeve employees in his departmenton party grounds, bot this is no mew grievance. He has invari. ably refused to make political beltef a test of disqualification for office, and there seems no him fora position in the Cabinet, just at this tume. The real parties to this crusade against him, are the bank note companies, and Wallst. “operators, who hope to do better with a more facile Secretary. It is a curious fact that the parties operating to eject Secretary Seward are precisely those who were so hostile te Secretary Stanton; and it is possible that Mr. Seward’s « impracticability” means nothing more than that bis advice was adverse to sus- pending Mr. Stanton. There seems no reason to look for any action by the President at this time leading to the resignation of these Min- isters, but tuere is no doubt that all the mem- bers of the Cabinet have signified their readi- ness to throw up their portfolios at aay moment when the President should conclude that he could thereby strengthen bimseif politically.

RECONSTROOTION. 4 IMPORTANT LETTER FROM GRNERAL POPRD ‘The following letier wis received by Gen- Grant this morning a: Ms HranguaktTsare, THIRD LITARY - 4 TRIOT, Gcorgia, Alabama and Morida, Atlanta, Ga, ‘July Oe. 1867.-Genera@li:—l Bave the ofthis State. late a Senator fh the 1 Don gress. This person only a few weeks since ‘was pardoned by the President, and in com- mon with almost every pardoned rebel, this is the use he makes of the clemency of the Gov- ernment, Youwsn readily see from the speech itelt the cbaratter,of the man, who is the rep- resentative of @ large class, and the hopsless- nese of any satisiactory reconstruction of the Southern States, while such men retain in- fluence. \t-bas been and will continue to be my course to permit and encourage the widest Istttude of speech and of the pressin this D: trict consistent with the law and the puotic peace. 1 do not imciude among those wao are permitied to exercise this latitude of speech | the civil officers ot the Provisional State Gov- | | ernments already prohibited by my orders from “using any influence whatever to deter or dissuade the people from taking an active part in reconstructing their State Govern. ments under the Reconstruction acts’? No such advantage as the use of the machiaery of the existing State Governments, ougnt to be or wil be given to the Anti-reconstruction party. 1 comsider it desirable thut the Government eople of the United 3 ould thoroughly understand the feelings and pur- poses of the leading politicians of the South, In order that the country may know the result of the coming elections, precisely the amount of influence possessed by these men,and the kend and extent of legislation required to counteract its baleful effects. In my opinion, no reconstruction can be sat- istactory or at all reliable as to future results, Unieas these men are permitted to discuss openly and according to their nature, the issaes presented. if they still retain influence eno with the masees of the whites at the South to enable them by active efforts to defeat recon- | struction under the late Acts of Congress. it is | better that the country should know it before Teason why this fact should specially unfit | | than after the readmission of the Southera States into the Union. It woutd not be difficult to find in the violent speeches of such men abundant cance for silencing them, but recon- straction accomplished im this mancer would be no index of the public sentiment, and might and probably would result, after a year or two, in @ relapse of the people into the same condi- tion of bondage to these leaders that weuld lead necessarily to 4 reproduction of the same con- Gition of things which demanded the passaze of the Reconstruction Acts. itis better that the battle should be fought out now and openiy. Ifthe people of these | States have the common sense aud the man- 20,000 to $3,000 | The fact that this large | induce our business people to supply on a! comprehensive scale the want here shown ‘The attempts of singie builders seem to fail to meet the needs and requirements of the clerks. It would suit many of the clerks to bave houses of moderate size and moderate rent with sufficient ground atiached to permit them to get healthful exercise in its cultivarion. These houses might be bailt m suburban Iocelities within eacy access of the street cars. Others not inclined to horticultu- ralor open air pursuits would be snited by houses of the same moderate rent, minus the Tursl surroundings and somewhat nearer the city’s centre. We would suggesi that some study be given to this matter, as all bere are interested in making so large a proportion of our day-time population as the large body of Department clerks, permanent residents. AN IMPORTANT PATENT C The patent held by Messr: ge-s, lor making paper out of wood and other vegetable matter, expires on Monday next, and SE the same renewed for seven years. The ex- tension of the same is being opposed by a large number of printers and publishers, on the ground that it will serve to keep up the price Of paper. and that the petitioners have had a | tair remuneration for their patent during the past fourteen years. The machinery and ne- cessary apparatus for carrying ont their patent within the past few years have been perfected, nd should the patent be extended, an im- mense sum of money can ve made by the patentees. The ease has been fully argued be. fore Commissioner Theaker by Messrs. Jenks and Stoughton for the petitioners, and Messrs. hood to withstaud the influence of the Seces- sion Party and of the political leaders who have long controlled them, who have led them into their present desperate condition, and who seek to plunge them still deeper into misfor- tune, and !f they prove abieand williug to re- construct taeir State Governments upon the only true principies of Government, in defi- auce of their leaders and against their active opposition, there will be good ground for hope twat reconstraction will be seisfactory and permament. If they cannot do this, it may w-ll become a question whether recouatraction on any reasonable terms is possible so long as these unrepentant and re actionary political Jvaders are suffered to remain in this country. Itis betier that tue Country should know the truth on this subject now than ran the risk of learning hereafter that an irrepar able misiake has been made in thy plan and execution of the Reconstruction Acts. I need scarcely Tepeat that recousiruction to be in the epirit of the acts of Congress ana to be p*rmanent must be the act ot the peopie them- selves after the fullest and freest discussiou. Congress bas done wisely imenabling them to make this fight, by distranchising the leading rebels and at least making it impo-sibie for ithem to vote or hold office. 1t would have been still better to enforce their permanent ab- sence from the country. The personai influ- ence tbey might bring to bear if they were candidates themselves is thus greatly wealk- ened @nd they are forced to discuss issues and not appeal to persoual feeling in their own favor. The people are thus left treer than they ever were before to choose their cwn candi- dates, and are forced to think for themselves as they have not hitherto dom So far from beiug willing to se the disfran- chised classes relieved from political disabili- ties, I consider these disfranchising clauses of the acts to be among their wisest and best con- sidered provisions. If they dono other good than to relieve the peopl from the incubus of the Old political leaders, they have accom- plished incalculanle service. itis notdoubted that many worthy and now loyal men who could be safely trusted, are disfrancnised by these clauses of the military bills, but each a Tesult was unavoidable, and can in their cases be easily remedied. It will no doubt be wise, | at an early day. to relieve by name such of the Watt and Bar- | disfraneh! persons 8s have hitherto proved or shall preve by their conduct in the course of the next six months that they are worthy of | it. Whilstit was uuavoidable that some good those gentlemen have made application to have , Harding and Coomes for the opponents. Com.,! missioner T. will deliver his opinion on Mon- day morning. ARREST or a U. S. DercTy MaRsuat.— | dition Yesterday morning, in New York, Deputy | Marshal Newcomb, whois second incommana under United States Marshal Marray. was ar- seated by officer Davis. under a warrant issued by Commissioner Osborn, on affidavits sworn © by several parties. The specific charge ap- pears tobe thatof bribery, asshown by the sMidavits of Caroline Brockway and William W. Dow. After the arrest some new compli- cations arose which are thus referred to in the N.Y. Es rese of yesterday : 1t appears that some time since a snit was uted against Colonel Wood, of the Secrer Service Department, for alleged defamation of men would be disfranchised by provisions of Jaw against elasses of persons. the remedy is easy. To undertake the converse of this, ihat is, to give general amnesty and except indi- viduals by name, would certsiniy result in leaving large numbers enfranchised whoonght notto be. Such improper persons might decide the coming elections before their unfitness could be ascertained, and even then it wouid be more than difficult to remedy the evil. I consider the metbod set forth in the reconstruc- tion acts by far the wiser course of the two, and 1 can bardiy understand how any maa familar with the facts can think other wis>. These distranchised persons include gene- rally the whole army of those who now hold or bave bitherto held office. With few excep- tions, all these pereons were active rebels, and are bitterly opposed to reconstruction ander the acts of Congress; opposed in fact to any re- construction whatever except such as would leave them in precisely the same political con- if there had been no rebellion and no war. Even such a reconstruction as this they would only accept as a necessity of the situa- tien, with the purpose to renew in Cengres:, and perpetuate among themselves as nearly | as possible the same conditions which existed character, and that Deputy Macsbal Newcomb | went Bis bailin the sum ef $2,000. The suit | ‘Was that of Savage agst. Wood. Qn the arrest of Mr. Newcomb to-day, he surrendered his bail, (Colonel Wood,) and was at once re-ar- | Test understood that Colonel Wood had procured fresh bail. Thus stands the pretty quarrei between the Marshal's office and the Depart- ment of Secret Service. poche 1c Dismissal OF CLERKS aT THE TREASURY DsraRgTMent — For rome time past it Ra, been the intention of Secretary McCalioch to reduce the force in the Treasury Department. there being @ scarcity of work in all the bn- Teaus of the Departuent. This morning about sixty clerks were discharged, fifteen of whom were trom the Secretary’s office, ten from the Internal Revenue office, six from the Second aud six from the Third Auditors’ offices, flv, trom the Register’s office, three from the Second Comptroller's, two from the Treasurer's, and one or two from each of the other offices. About thirty of those dismissed to-day were jadies. A further reduction will be made in a few days, and at least fifty more will be dis. missed. The vacancies caused by these dis- miseafs will not be filled, as the discharge 1s made on account of the scarcity of work. PictURs or Mn ‘om Mr. E.
