THE CABINET QUESTION SETTLED. THE ARMY OF OFFICE SEEKERS. York and Probable Nominations for Ne’ Elsewhere. LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS, Be, Se, Sie The Latest from Washington City. FROM THB SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS OF THE HERALD. GENERAL PIRRCE—THE CABINET—THE INAUGURAL AND GENERAL CASS—THE SENATE—THE OFFICB SEEKERS, ETO. Wasnrnaton, March 5, 1853, Col. Jefferson Davis has arrived—so the cabinet is complete. z The Senate, on executive business, will sit a fortnight— probably a month—for a considerable haul is expected, upon the large offices, forthwith. The case of Senator Benjamin, of Louisiana—a naturalization question—may occupa day or two. The cabinet will go up on Monday, and, it is expected, will be confirmed, without opposition, on the same day, Genoral Cass, after the delivery of the inaugural, yes- terday, shook General Pierce by the hand, and said ; ‘I am glad to find you such a real old fogy.”” General Pierce is receiving company, and the office seekers, flanked by members of Congress, are going up. Some trouble is expected between Commodore Moore and Senator Pearce, concerning the course of the latter im opposition to the Texas Navy bill. G. RUSSIAN MOVEMENTS AGAINST TURKEY—PROSPEOT OF A GENERAL EUROPEAN -WAR—TRUNK SMASH- ING, ETC. * Wasninoton, March 5—7 P. M. Mr. Pulzsky has arrived here to-day from New York, in company with Richard Adams Locke, for the purpose of laying before the government definite information as to the approaches of Russia upon Turkey, and the possibili- ty of a genoral European war arising therefrom. Pulzsky’s information, he says, is exclusive. There was an informal meeting of the cabinet last night, but what was done has not transpired. Four trunks were broken open at Brown’s Hotel last evening; also four at Willard’s. Three men from New York were arrested on suspicion this morning, by Officer Bowyer, and, being brought before the Mayor, were sen- tenced as vagrants to thirty days imprisonment. J. M. THE CABINET—FALSE RUMORS OF A DIFFICULTY— FOREIGN MISSIONS, ETC. Wasurxatox, March 5—9 P.M. Jefferson Davis reached here this morning, Rumors are fiying about that the Cabinet have kicked in the tracer, and that all is at sea again. There is, however, no truth in such statements. Mr. Davis was very un- willing to enter the Cabinet, from porsonal considerations, but yielded them to the President's urgent desire to have him in the War Department! ‘Tho nominations will therefore be sent to the Senate on Monday, in the follow- ing order -— William L. Marey, ++ Secretary of State. James Guthrie, .. retary of Treasury, Secretary of Interior. ecretary of War. sseessSecretary of Navy. James Campbell, +Post Master General. Caleb Cushing,..... ttorney General. Imay perhaps be ableto send you to-morrow some- thing definite as to the foreign appointments. As yot nothing has been definitely arranged. It is, however, known that Mr. Soulé will go cither to Paris or Madrid, ashe may select. Tho President has expressed his de termination of sending abroad the ablest men he can select, irrespective of their local positions here. That 14 to say, if be Ginds a suitable person he will not stop to enquire the State to which he belongs. ‘The inaugural continues to be the eubject of universe laudation with al! but abolitionists. Rw THE NEW YORK COLLECTORSHIP—APPOINTMENTS ELSEWHERE—NO MISTAKE ABOUT THB CABINET, ETC. ‘Wasuinctoy, March 5—10 P. M. I' think it pretty well settled that William B. Maclay will be the Collector of New York, and that Hon. R. Cart- ter, of Ohio, will be Commissioner of Patents—he is a soft shell If Charles L. Woodbury is agreed, Mr. Hallett will be District Attorney of Massachusetts. The reports of trouble in the cabinet to day were ex- aggerated. It stands fast till the Senate at least has act- ed—that is the fixed decision of General Pierce, and I stick to my classification. The inaugural is the universal theme of admiration. UNION. MILITARY AND OTHER VISITERS—EXCURSIONS TO MOUNT VERNON—NEWSPAPER OPINIONS ON THE INAUGURAL, ETC. FROM A REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasuinoron, March 5, 1853, Although many have left the city to-day, the throng upon the ayenue and about the hotels is not perceptibly diminished, Various atilitary companies have paraded the streets, aceompanied by Dodworth’s, Linhart’s, and other bands, which treated the citizens to some rare music. Numerous strangers paid a visit to Mount Ver- non, and on their way thither had a splendid view of the Ericason, which is still at Alexandria. Thousands visited the Capitol, the Fair, Jackson's statue, the White House, and other points of attraction. ‘The Republic strongly approves of the President's Ad- dress, ond rays—* In acknowledging his obligations io the masses of his countrymen alone, he seems sincere in his sentiment, and his addsosa presents in no part any contradiction to it. If he actsin accordance with it, and with the general views of the address, we apprehend he will find more factious opposition in his own ranks than in those of the friends of the late admiristration.” The Republic also tenders its grateful acknowledgments to the President for the entire ab-ence of party animosity in the inaugural. so The Inielligencer finds much in the inaugural to oppose, and considerable to condemn, but defers its comments to another day. ‘the Presdent received a large number of calls.

He has recently been on duty at the naval station at Sackett’s Harbor, but was, at the time of his death, waiting orders. Mr, Meagher. Ricuonp, March 5, 1853. Mr. Meagher lectured here, last evening, before a crowded audience, in the African church. Mr. F, Wat- son presided, and many of our most distinguished citi- zens were present—among them, the Lieutenaat-Governor and several members of the Patrick Henry family. Mr. Meagher lectures to-night in Petersburg, and on Tuesday next in Washington, at the special invitation of 1e most distinguished members of the Senate and House of Representatives, having been on Thursday evening, when leaving Washington for Richmond, presented wit a requisitiongigned by them, Amongst’ the names are those of Mestrs.

The bill from the Senate consolidating the Central Line of Railroad was reported in favor of in the House. There is considerable opposition gathering, but the power which the railroad possesses will carry it through. z There isa inky argument going on before the Railroad Committee of use On the Anti-Broadway bill. Messrs. Dudley Field and Samuel Jones appear on the part of the Aldermen and the Sharp grant, and Mr. Davis on the side of the opposition. Mr. O'Sullivan is con- stantly in attendance, as well as a large number of others of tho company. The ebject is to prevent the committee making a report in favor of the te bill. Many of the rural members, since the indictment of the two Aldermen, begin to think there must have been cor- ruption in the lway matter. Many others have been converted, besides Mr. Shaw. Gov.

On arriving at the town which was the terminus of his journey, he inquired at the post office for the letter which con- tained the treasure, but, owing to a failure of the mail on that particular day, or some other cause, he did not receive it. The allewed loss was communi- cated to the department in this city, and prompt mearnres were adopted to ferret out the cause.

Great Corporation Reform Meeting at Metro- politan Hall. One of the most numerous meetings we have ever seen within the capacious walls of Metropolitan Hall, was held last evening, in pursuance to public requisition, of , those in favor of the immediate reorganization of the Common Council and the reconstruction of the charter, 0 that the members of the two boards shall be elected from districts of different magnitude, as in the case of the Legislature of this State, and exercise only legislative Powers, and so that the veto power of the Mayor shall be enlarged, and our municipal elections held in the spring instead of the fall. Every seat and standing place in the body, boxes, and galleries, were occupied. It wasa sig- nificant meeting, and if it works the end for which it was convened, it will prove to be a most important meeting. Peter Cooper, Eaq., presided. The Vice Presidents having been elected, George B. Butler, Eaq., delivered the following address:— The absence of all economy in the expenses of the city —the disposition to add to ifs permanent debt, and that with a new feature for annual repairs—the frequent dis- charge without trial, by Aldermen, of persons arrested for crime—the grant ‘of valuable franchises and property without adequate remuneration—and the oridancen of extravagance, abuse of powers, feveciien, and misman- agemnet wi appear in our munici government— have induced the people of this city to meet together this evening to secure the great object of city reform. The t chief te of the United States has ca cages in his inaugural address, that in the admin- istration of domestic affairs the people expect a devoted integrity in the public service, and an observance of rigid economy, in all departments, so marked as never to be questioned ; and he truly adds that “ without Ailigence, integrity, and capacity, wherever there are duties to be performed, more 51 ee laws for the prevention or punishment of fraud will be vain.”” These truths have been improssed upon us at every step of our progresa; and henoe, in the call of this meeting, the two objects. « re- organizntion of the Common Council and such amoud- ments of the city charter as recent experience has shown to be necessary, were jointly proposed. In asking for these changes,’no diminution of chartered rights is thought of. The power of the people must be represent- ed in government, or it will be weak and inefiicient. No violation of any of the principles which lie at the founda- tion of free institutions, will be accepted. On the con- trary, we ask that the local government of our efty may ‘be made to conform to those principles. In the original fabric of all our constitutions, a system of powers and checks has been happily combined, A Senate and As- sembly, representing constituencies of different mag- nitude, is a feature recognized in American govern- ments, except alone that of this city. Here the samo district elects a representative to both boards of the Common Council, and hence the ch ck intended by the fathers of the government on the part of one branch of the legislature over another, is not found in our local government. This departure from a recognized sys- tem needs tobe corrected. Into most American constitu- tions the veto power, representing one elective depart- ment of the government, has been justly incorporated One of its principal objects has heen to guard the people against haste, extravagance, and abuse, in legislation. In order to do this, and yet ‘not impair the efficiency of legislative action, it has been made an effective power, and more votes are ordinarily required to overthrow a veto than was originally necessary to pass the measure on which it has been exercised. In our city charter, the veto has been to much degraded that no greater number of votes is required to pass a law after a veto than be- fore—n feature which takes from the executive depart- ment all power to protect the people against such abuses as bave been perpetrated in our city government, under the forms of legislation. We respectfully urge that this departure from recognized and valuable prin- ciples may be corrected, and the veto restored to what is usual and reasonable, The provision in our State constitution, requiring two-thirds of all elect- ed to pass @ measure after a veto, seoms to be rea- sonable and proper in our local’ government, con- sidering the tendency to abuse which prevails, Our municipal elections now take place on the sama day on which the State and generai elections are held. In a populous city like this, where vast number of officers are to be voted for, and where the vote is also large, there is great inconvenience and confusion, arising from the necessity of voting for both sts at the same time, which prevents that discrimination which aims to exclude improper persons; but the overshadowing intlu- ence of the general and Siate elections, on the local elec- tions, is a feature from which the most danger results, The amount of expenditure in our local government, (equal, as is shown in the comptroller’s late report, to the joint expenses of all the States.) and the numerous important subjects of local legislation, require that our municipal officers shall be chosen exclusively for their honesty apd capability, which is impossible at fall el tions, except in particular instances. ‘The objection t! proper per-ons not vote at the spring elections is anawered by the great interest excited in former times at those contests, and by the still greater interes mani fested in local affairs, from the great abuses which have ‘been recently disclosed, The great truth hasbeen clearly manifested, that as eternal vigilance is the price of 16 Mtn inmpoveible te secure the great of a good government without constant watehfulness en the part ple. The ground that, at «pring elec- tions for municipal officers, no sufficient’ interest will be wanifested, is an unjust aspersion upon our people and form of government. It will be difficult to procure pro- per reform in our local affairs, without changing the time of municipal elections from the fall to the spring. That change is unhesitatingly reeommended, It is clear ly within the power of the Legislature to submit to the peo- ple the questicn, whether or not the term of a newly elected Board shall commence at the ensuing spring, or at the end of the term of the present incumbents. The President of the United States has wisely stated that “offices can be properly regarded only in the light of aids for the accomplishment of public objects." The present charter in the matters specified has been found to be clearly defective, and there would seem to be no just rea- son for continuing its operation to gratify public officers at the expence of the public interest. The charter adopt- ed in 1849 was prepared by a committee of citizens; it passed the Legislature in April of that year; it was sub- mitted for approval on the sceond Tuesday of the same month; it provided that those aldermen and assistants who should be elected under the previous charter, on the second Tuesday of April, should hold office only until the Ist of January ensuing. | But it further provided that the amendmets, if approved by a majority of the electors, should go into effec: on the first Tuesday of June following. A new frame of government was thus adopted in abouttwo months from the first passage of the act through the State Legislature. The charter then adopted contains many n d wise provisions; but there are deficiencies which experience has made apparent, and the amendments now propoved sxe merely intended to carry out the manifest objects thes sought to be accomplished, and they are ne- cessary to give to the government of the city that char- acier which is stam yed upon all our State constitutions. Such being their nature, it would seem to be proper to give them immediate effect. It would be unjust and inex- pedient to postpone their operation merely to gratify those now in power, and who were elected to render ser- vice, not to themrelves, but to the public. It is not ex- pected, nor is it desired. that these changes in our mu- nicipal government sball take place without the concur- rence of the people. The people of this city are wholly competent to manage their own affairs, and will pass upon any amendmeuts; but they have no power to amend the charter, except with the authority of the Legislature. They apply for this authority in the full confidence that the voice of a great community, determined to escape from the evils of mis government, and from the disgrace which attends it, will not be unheeded by the assembled wisdom nnd power of ithe State, J. W. Grnarp, Esq., was then introduced to the meet- ing, and delivered an eloquent, humorous, and sarcas tic speech, which was received with enthusiasm, At the conclusion of Mr. Gerard's address, the follow- ing resolutions were proposed and unanimously adopted:— Whereas. The government of the city of New York, in consideration of the vast material and moral interests committed to its care. should be provided with all those checks and guards which are found essential, in both our national and State constitutions, to the preservation of integrity and economy in the administration of public af- fairs, therefore— Resolved, That the legislative, judicial and exec ative departments of the city government should be kept se parste and independent of each other in all respects, and that in each department the principle of responsibi- lity tothe people, ought to be made as direct and effec tive as possible. Resolved, 1. That the legislative power should be vest- ed in a Common Council, consisting of two branches, un equal in the number of their members, representing dif. ferent constituencies, and holding office for unequal terms; that the membors of the smaller body should go out by classes, and that the more popular branch should be £0 numerous as to make each member directly and immediately responsible to his own constituents. 2 That judicial powers should be oxeroised exclusively by per- sons elected for that special office. and for that alone. 3, ‘That she executive power should be vested in the Mayor, heads of departments and the police. ‘That the Mayor should have a yeto upon all enactments of the Common Council, and no ordinanee thus vetoed should become a Jaw, unlese re-enacted by at least two-thirds of ail the members elected to each branch of the Common Council That the heads of departments should have no powers but such as may be conferred upon them by law: And that the Tolice Department should be so. organized as permanently to secure integrity, stability, and the high- ert degree of efficiency in its practicn! operation. Resolved, That no expenditure of public money should be allowed, ard no debt or liability of any kind incurred, unless it be first authorized by a specific law, and that full provis‘on should be made for carefully audicing the accounts of public officers. Resolved, That the Revised Statutes should be so amended as to make members of ciiy governments in dietable in courts of law for bribery, corruption, or mal- fensance in office, Resolved. That the election for city officers should be held at a different time from that appointed for electing officers of the State and National governments Regolved, That in the judgment of this moeting, many of the evils which are mow experienced in our city govern ment aro due {0 the system hitherto adopted by both po: litical parties, of nominations for office by delegates choren at primary reetings; and that in order to escape from the violence and corruption whieh ream inseparable from thatsysiem, in the choice of city officers, resort is recommended to {he practice of voluntary and sponta. heons nominstions, which in other sections of the Union prevails in regard to offices of every grade, Resolved, That the following persons be 4 ® committee, with power to fill vacancies, to solicit from the State Legislature such amendment as shall make it conform to the objects, set forth in the resolutions: wil and also secure a provision for submitting such amendments as the ture iy shot, at the earliest mo- ment, to the vote of the people, and for enal ‘the new officers who may be elected in accordance with ecg lrg enter upon the discharge of their duties by the Tuesday in May next.

Wircncrart IN Punnsyvanta.—The Cham-~ ber sburg (Pa.) Whig, of the 17th inst., relates the following singular instance of superstition, whioh proves that the belief in witchcraft is not yet done. away with :— A Csi nae writing from Fal- ton county, informs us o| yi case of su witchcraft that occurred near Sidling Hill. is a certain religious sect in that rel hood, themselves the Christian Church. A lady, one the members, was taken sick and lay for some time, until she finally imagined herself bewitched, and «©. sister in the church was settled upon as the witch, A. meeting of the session was called in due season, at which the minister presined aad the charge of witchcraft was formally preferred against the rs Being a new case, and we presume, not onaea ty in the discipline, the session was puzgled as to the. proper manner to proceed im the case. At length it was proposed that she should be esked to step over a broomstick, as it had been said that a witch could not do so; but the accused got over it without appa- rent difficulty. After a consultation it was then agreed that she should be tried in a pair of weigh- scales, with a Bible to balance her, and if sho was & witch the Bible wonld be too heavy for her. Ac- cordingly ehe was taken toa mill, and the experi~ ment tried; but she proved too heavy for the Bible. At was then intimated that probably her clothing preveated a fuir test, and half a bushel of corn Ang put on the scales with the Bible, to balance the Slothing, but still the lady was, too heavy, and the charge was formally d.
