WASHINGTON. Revival of Rumors of Changes in the Cabinet. General Cameron and Colonel Forney Interviewed. Geir ‘Opinions on Present and Prospective Political Issues. The President and Secretary Bout- well in Happy Accord, Congressman R. B. Butler Indicted for Forgery. “@eneral Pleasonton Confirmed as Inter- nal Revenue Commissioner. WASHINGTON, Dee. 16, 1870, The Reported Chances in the Cxbinet. ‘The Yumored impending changes im the Cabinet ptill crente some rensation here, and, together with the com:roversy between Shurz and Drake in the Senate conberning the political situation in Mis- sourl, constitute the principal topics of con- versation in Washington to-night. The con- temptated resignation of Secretary Boutweil has been reiterated to-day, and received consid- erable credence in Congresstonal and diplomatic circles, The President and the members of his Cabinet, including the Secretary of the Treasury himself, are avowedly profoundly ignorant of any $mtended change or any sabstantial reasons for any change in the Cabinet as it iy at present constituted. ‘The President has the fullest confidence in all of his constitutional advisers, and they have * She fullest confidence in him, according to what must be regaided as competent authority upon the subject, and yet while this per- * wonal admiration of each other and this oiticial har- mony are stated to prevail, there appears to be a settled sentiment in the public mind that if some changes are not immediate they are not far remote. There was a meeting of the Cabinet to-day, and Bome people assume $0 say that Mr. Boutwell then and there resigned. The fact is, however, that notwithstanding all that has been said in contradic- tion of the rumored changes, the announcement of the resignation of secretary Boutwell is only prema- ture. In this connection it ts proper to remark that there 13 the highest authority for stating that if any member of the Cabinet withdraws it will not be because any differences of opinion on questions of policy has arisen in Cabinet councils between the President and him. Seeking tne secret cause for the sensation about Boutwell’s intended resignation it would seem to be found in an intend- ed movement to make the Secretary of the Treasury 8 competitor for the republican Presidential succes sion in 1872. Senator Cameron's Views on Cabinet Officers, Much has been said about the complaints of Penn- Bylvanians because their State has now no repre- sentative in the Cabinet. Looking over the whole field of Pennsylvania politics, there are, perhaps, no two men who represent In a greacer degree the po- liticd! views of that State than Senator Simon Vam- éron and Colonel John W. Forney. They have fig- ‘ured in national as well as State politics for over @ quarter of century, No man is more familiar with the old Keystone State, and few are more deeply Interested in her material and political success, than Senator Cameron. In conversation ‘this evening he spoke freely on the question of Penn- gylvania and the Cabinet. There was, he said, @ great deal of noise and talk abont this subject, ‘which amounted to nothing. No responsibie repub- ican, certainly no man who had any claim to speak for the republican party of Pennsylvania, had ever asked General Grant for a place in the Cabinet, either for himself or for the State. Cameron was surprised to hear so much said about it in the newspapers. Accoriing to them, it looked very mnch as if the Pennsylvania delegation did nothing but besiege the ‘White House to get some Pennsylvanian putin the President’s Cabinet. So far as Cameron was con- cerned, this was not trie. The substantial German and the Scotch-Irish element of Pennsylvania were too proud to ask any President to recognize their State if he did not see proper to do so, The peuple of Pennsylvania ‘Would be glad to see one of their representative men in the Cabinet; but they were not uncasy about tt, and they were not going to beg for it. They did not even demand the appointment of Mr. Douglass as Commissioner of internal Kevenue. They con- sidered him a very fit man for the place, but they never made it a poimt with the Presi- dent that Douglass should be appointed. When Pennsylvania made points of that kind she gene- rally carried them. There had been a great deal said of the Pennsylvania politicians, and people ‘who did not know better would suppose that there ‘Was little else in the State besides politicians, This was amistake. Few men in Pennsylvania ft for the place would take a position in the Cabinet, for the reason that the wealth of the mines, railroads and manufactures ol the State had attracted neany all its talent. Men who sought political posi- tion were the men who, as a general rule, could not succeed in the regular business of lie. The able men of Pennsylvania had enough to occupy their minds at home, without coming here to-beg for positions the salaries of which were not adequate te their support. Here we interrupted the veteran Senator to in- quireif he would accept a position in the Presi- dente Cabinet if it were offered him by Grant? General Cameron replied that he would not, under any circumstances. He had once accepted such a Place sigainst his own better judgment, but he ‘Would s10t do so again. He would not take any Place im the giftof the administration. When his term in fhe Senate expired he would be seventy-four years of age. He wanted it understood that he ‘woul newer again be a candidate for the Senate, This lags sentence the Senator repeated two or three times. That was one thing, he said, ne had made yp his mind to, and he intendea to ad- here to it, Jimquired what he thought of Colonel Forney, in connection with the Oabinet? He said ho had noticed Colonel Forney’s name use@ in that connection, and although he kad not talked with Forney on tha, subject he had no doubt all that was sald about it was without Forney’s consent or approbation. Forney, said Mr. Cameron, has a pewspaper In Pennsyieania, which, if he will devete his time to it, will give him snore power than any place ia the Cabinet. We want, he continued, a great jonrnal- ist in Penusylvamia, and we are of opinion that Forney fills that place. He (Forney) has wasted his time here in serving the republican party, and I have eften said to hin if he would.take my advice he would allow the Politicians to get a paper of thelr own here and pay or the laxury; they would then find out what For- wey has been doing for them, If Forney will pursue the same ourse as Mr. Beanett has adhered to @ur- Ang his long journalistic cereer he will, with all his experience and idvantages, be the ruling power Pennsylvania. Tasked the Senator at this point what he thonght of Pespsylvania in connection with the next Presi- @ential election? In reply he said it was a well establisned fact in his mind that no republtcan Pre- gident could be elected next time without the vote of Penusyivanis. ‘The people of Pennsylvania felt this, and they were conscious of the commanding position which they held. He betteved the people of his State would support the administration of Preal- ent Grant, because it harmonizes with their notions of right. [twas @ peculiar characteristic of the peo- ple of Pentiayivania to pay their debts. No man or ‘Weman in thas State who had contracted a debt ever rested easy nntil it was paid. The effort tnat attracted them to his support. After paying & high tribute to the administration of President Grant I bade the Senator good night. Interview with Colonel Forney—His Views en Public Affairs. Later in the evening I conversed with Colonel Forney. Jasked him what foundation there was Yor the rumors that he was going inta the Cabinet as the representative of the State of Pennsylvania. He said, ‘d have never nad the slightest aspiration myself for such a position, and never the slightost intimation from General Grant that he intended tooffer it tome, I am so thoroughly in love with my own profession that I don't want te exchange tt, for that of a mere office-holder. A great many good friends have mentioned my name in this cennection and sometimes I fear the President may think Ihave had @ part in their recommendation; but 1 have net. I think if General Grant had with him- an old-fashioned hard shell democrat, with the in- spiration of republican faith, who knew the public men of the country, 1t wouldn’t hurt hima bit. Of course I speak of Pennsylvania only. I am going away from here, not because 1 disapprove the policy of the admintstrauion, but because I think I can do better for myself and family at heme in Pennsylvania, “You are aware, Colonel,” I observed, “that General Grant has already offered @ piace in his Cabinet to four different gentlemen from Pensylvania, What do you say to that?” “Well,” replied the Colonel, “all I can say about it is that I have heard that the President justifies his inability to obtain a Cabinet Minister trom Pennsylvania on the ground that he had offered a place in his Ministry to Mr. Borie, George H. Stuart, Willlam Strong and Lindley Smith, aud that the three latter bad de- clined the proffer, while the first only held the po- sition for a short time, With entire respect to all these gentlemen, not one of them isa known repre- sentative of the republicans of Pennsyivanta. I Wish the President would offer a place in his Cab:net to some representative republican from our State.” Tasked the Colonel if he considered 1t important that Pennsylvania should have a@ representative in the Cabinet te insure the State for the republicans at the next Presidential election? He replied by stating that if General Grant would give them @ representative man, one who would rally the workingmen of the party and consider their needs, such an appointment weuld help the party. “Our people are not office seekers, they are republicans from conviction, especially the old democrats, who joined the republican party with me and have adhered to it ever since. Whether Grant give us a Cabinet Minister or not we are not going to quarrel with him; but we cer- tainly will take issue with him if he deserts the principles upon which he was elected, just as we did Buchanan.” “What are your present relations,’ I inquired, “with General Cameron?” “They are very kind’? nesaid. “I knew him as a friend in my boyhood, thirty years ago, and although there have been some bitter interruptions, our cordial relations have been fully restored, and 80 far as lam concerned! am resolved to co-ope- rate with him in the maimtenance of the unity of the republican party. Although I am nearly twenty years the General’s junior Iam conscious of outliv- ing resentments of ail kinds.” In conclusion, he said that when he went to Philadeiphia he intended to devote himself to uniting the different factions of the republican party i the State and to support the administration of vresident Grant. Amicadle R lations Subsisiing Between the President aud Secretary Boutwell. Secretary Boutwel! this moraing, in conversation with several geatlemen of the press, good nataredly alluded to the various reports of disagreement be- tween the President and himself, saying that, on the contrary the relations between them were altogether friendly, and that as fara s he knew there were no intervening questions which disturbed their ofi- cial connections, This isin hurmony with the au- thority from the Executive Mansion yesterday for contradicting the report iuvolving the Secretary’s resigaation. Locictment of Congressman 4. Kt. Butter jor Forvery. It will be remembered that during Jast summer there was considerable comuotivn and comment over the alleged charge fat a Congressman, KR. R, Butler, from Tennes-ee, had forged cer ain checks issued in payment of perstons to some of the resi- dents of his district, and of which he was the custo- dian. Since that tne the aurhorities have been busily engeged in preparing the testimony in the case, and to-day the Grand Jury of the criminal court of this District brought in two indictments, the first charging R. R. Puiler, of Tennessee, with having forged the name of Uerthemy Farmer, widow of a Union soldier belonging to the Thir- teenth Tennessee cavalry, upon a check drawn by C. Dewey, Presiaent of the Raleigh Navional Bank, in favor of said widow, for the sum of $473, being the Washington, by his (Butler’s) instractions. The check was negotiated by Butler at the bank of Jay Cooke & Co., October 29, 1869, The indictment con- tains six counts—the first charging Butler with having forged the endorsemeit with intent to de- fraud Mrs, Farmer; the second, with intent to defraud day Cooke & Co.; the third, with intent to defraaa the United States. he other three charge him with having uttered the check, with the forged endorsements thereon, with jutent to defraud, as specified in the first three counts. The second in- diciment contains a similar nuinber of counts, and is the same in every particular, except that the forged. On the filing of the indictment a bench warrant was promptly issued for the arrest of But- Jer, and he.will be arrested to-morrow morning by the United States Marshal. The arrest of two mem- bers of Congress on criminal charges this week are some of the sensations of Washington. Senator Drake’s speech in Reply to Senator Schurz. ‘There w2s as much interest in the Senate to-day over the speech of Senator Drake as there was yes- terday over that of Senator Schurz, Drake has enjoyea the reputation in the Senate of being a bitter debater and a hard hitter. It was the general expectation, therefore, that Schurz would receive ratier rough handling. Nor were those who entertainca this opinion disappointed. The first few sentences that Senator Drake uttered seemed to take effect upon Senator Schurz. He seemed rather uneasy in his seat, and once or twice essayed to make an explanation. Drake, who seemed perfectly coo! about it, refused to be inter- rupted, and turned the jaugh upon Seburz by telling him that he could have four years in which to reply after to-day. The personal allusions made to Drake yesterday by Schurz were well met to-day, and the opinion tg that in most cases they were faliy an- swered. Unlike Schurz, Drake did not read his speech, althongh be had eome notes betore him. ‘The extempore style had a good effect upen the Sen- ale, and commandea greater attention than @ writ- ten speech. As this was Drake's Jast efiort in the Senate he improved the occasian to deliver a sort of farewell address, which, coming as it did upen the heels of his onslaught upon Schurz, was considered alittie out of piace. It is supposed now that the Senate has had the last of the du@ about Missour poiltics. Decision in the Caxe of the Whaleship Canada, Seized by Brazilians. The President to-day sent to the House of Repro- sentatives, in compliance with a resolution of that body, the papers on the subject of the whaler Cana- da, which sauled from New Bedford for the Northern Pacific Ocean, by way of Cape Horn, in Uctober, 1866, but went ashore on the coast of Brazil in November following, when the party of Brazilian soldiers boarded the vessel and captured her. The captain gave notice he would seek redress through the United States gov- ernment. A correspondence followed between the two governments, and finally Mr. Thernton, the British Minister, was appointed umpire in the case. ‘The questions presented were:—First, whether the United States were debarred, by Japse pf time, from prosecuung te claim; whether the vessel was lost and »the voyage determined by interference of Brasilia ej So Shu Wat the am of ABUL hay arrears of pension to the 4ih day of Sep- | tember, 1869. The check bears date October | 25, 1869, and was never seen by Mrs. | Farmer, but was pureh by © H. Bel- vin, pension agent for North Carolina, and sent by him, on October 26, 1869, to Mr. Builer, in name cf Rebecca J. Maddron is alieged to have peen | Wich the owners of the vessel sustained. The Qmpire Having closely examined the subject, decides thet the government of Brazil 1s liable to the United States, as compensation to the owners of ‘the Canada and for the cargo thereof, in the sum of $100,740, payable in coin, He says he was unable, Conacientiousty, to arrive at any other conclusion. General Pieasonton Confirmed as Revenue Commissioner. The confirmation of General Pleasonton for Com- missioner of Internal Revenue is discussed here as a leading topic to-nignt, The opponents of the con- firmation insist that it arrays against the President @ very large aud important class, who have not looked favorably upon the disposition ve put military oficers in places belonging to civilians, and particu- larly in positions requiring legal qualifications. The influence of the military coterie of West Point over the President is evidently a source of jealousy to the Politictans, which, it is asserted, will recoll upen the administration, and ta a weight which the republi- can party cannot carry. The position of Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue, it is strongly urged, should have been given to some prominent poll- ticlan and lawyer, having claims upon the party. It is dented that this appointment will in any way reconcile the differences between Senators Fenton and Conkling, or that the President made this se- lection with tnat understanding. New York Custom House Appointments. The Secretary of the Treasury to-day confirmed the appointments of John Lee, Philip Reiley and George Burr as Tospectors; John KR. Dillon, Clerk, and E. ). Miller, Storekeeper, New York Custom House, Nominations by the President, The following nominations were vent to the Senate to-day:— David H. Mason, to be Attorney for the district of Massachusetts; Joel ©. C. Winch, to be District Judge for the Eastern district of Texas; Henry 0, Hicks, to be Attorney for the Eastern district of Texas; James E. Cailoway, of Ilinois, to be Secre- tary of Montana Territory: Alexander H, Conner, of Indiana, to be Governor of Idaho Territory; John Murphy, to be Consul at Payta; Victor Barthow, to be Consul at Cairo, Egypt; Isaac Sisson, to be Con- sul at Mazatlan, Austrian Maritime Boards. Baren von Lederer, the Austrian Minister, has nottfied the Secretary of State, for the information of American merchants, that the Ministers of Com- merce of Austria and Hungary have agreed to es- tablish a Maritime Board at Foreme, It will be or- ganized on the same footing as the Maritime Board at Trieste, and its jursdicuon will extend over the coasts of Croatia, Abolition of the Stamp Tex. The ordera received at the Internal Revenue Bureau indicate a belief throughout the West tnat the stamp tax will be abolished at this session of Congress, at least so far as documents are concerned. The 1m- pression seems to prevail that because Congress did make some changes in the stamp act at the last session further exemptions will be provided for at the present session. The Moncy in Dispate Between the Pacific Railroad and the Government. The amount of money involved tn the dispute be- tween the Pacific Railroad and the Treasury Depart- ment is not large, there being but about two hundred thousand dollars due the Union Pacific Company, who complain that all the mea and stores of the Navy Department and the larger part of the army transportation are sent to Califormla via water instead of by rail, and say that if the government will give them the whole of the Califernia business enough will thus be earned by the Central and Union companies to liquidate their iaterest as fast as it accrues, Biitiss Subscription in Aid sof the Oneida Sufferers. Sir Edward Thornton, the British Minister, has been advised of the remittance to his address of within a fraction of $6,000 for the widows and or- phans of the crew of the United States ship Oneida, made so in consequence of her de- struction by the British ship Bombay, in the Iadia seas, last summer. This sum was quietly contributed by seventy British subscribers, headed by the Right Honorable Bar! of Shaftesbury, the. Earl of Clarendon and the Ro hsehilas, ahd given to Sir Rdward ri0ruves for aisiribution. he money, will be apportioned at his discretion jon application made to him by the partiés interesve#. Vice Admiral Porter’s Reintioip to Admiral Farragut. Allusion taving been made to the existence of un- friendly feeling between Admiral Farragut and Vice Admiral Porter, before the former’s death, the tol- lowing Jet.ers, interchanged shortly betore the oc- currence of that sad event, demonstrate that the existence of any such unfriendly ‘eeling is without the least foundation:.

With my best wishes tu yoursell aud Mrs. Pennock, Jremain very truly yours, in haste, D. D. PORTER, Appropriation Required for Army and Navy Detiviencles. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury to-day sent a com- munication to the House asking $8,361,000, being the estimated deficiencies in appropriations for the years ending June, 1870 and 187i, Of this amount $1,862,000 are for the army and $1,344 for the navy. ‘The Bill Abolishing the Franking Privilege. The bill which passed the House abolishing the franking privilege, and which is now pending in the Senate, will, according to present Indications, fail of passage in that body. Certain Senators allege that many members of the House voted for the bill for buncombe, and were really opposed to tte passage, but shielded themselves behind the belief that it could not pass the Senate, thus shirking the respon- sibility and endeavoring to fasten it elsewhere. The Postmaster General is however still working assid uously for its passage. Mustering Out Army Officers. cretary of War made a statement before the House Commitiee on Military Affairs to-day to show ssity Hr the immediate passage of the bill \d the ime for mustering out army oMicers, ander the billto reduce the army, which passed at | the last sessica, He represented that it would be impossible tocarry out the provisions of the bill as early as the Ist of January, owing to the way in Which the oficers were scatiered all over the country. “He asked ty committee to concur in the Senate bill to extend Uc ume for mustering out until July. It ig understost that the commitice have agreed to report the senate bill before the holidays, and to ask its imucdiate passage by the House. The Venezuelan Claims. The Serate Committee on Foreign Relations nave had the fabject of the Venezuela claims under dis- ¢ussion, and it 1s understood they will report & joint reflution authorizing the President to pro- ceed whhout farther delay to collect the amount due frm the government of Venezuela to citi- zens f the United States. This action of the committee meets the approbation of the President and the Secretary of state, and it is pro- bable that as soon as the resolution passes both Hous@ the President will despatch a sufficient naval force ‘o Venezuela to collect the amount of tne claims. The Iucome Tax Not to be Abolished. ‘The Senate Finance Coramititee will report against the froposed repeal of tne income tax, in accord- _ the wishes of Secretary Boutwell. The i reason urged against repealing it is that taxation was so much reduced at the last session that the public revenue cannot stand a further reduction. There is a very strong feeling, however, in both Houses, outside the members of the Finance Com- mitece and the Committee on Ways and Means, in favor of abolishing the tax. Skould these commit- tees report against it a bill will probably be put through the House, under a suspension of the rules, and passed in the Senate without reference to the Finance Committee, Appointments Pending in the Senate. The nominations of Mr. Kramer, the President’s brother-in-law, Who was appeinted some time ago Minister to the Hague, and of Mr. Root, appointed Minister to Chile, hang fire in the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Mr. Sumper, the Chairman of the Committee, does not think either of them fit for the positions to which they have been appointed, The McGarrahan Claim. The House Judiciary Committee, which has the ¢elebrated McGarrahan claim under consideration, has decided to summon the person who was Private Secretary to President Lincoln for signing land warrants as a witness. What the committee desires to prove by this gentleman ts the genuineness of the signature” attached to a land patent in favor of McGarrahan, whitch is now on file at the Interior Department. This patent, which gives McGarrahan title to the Panoshe Grande Ranch, was signed, it is alleged, by order of President Lincoln. Emigration of Skilled Artisans and Laborers from England to the United States. Mr. Yeung, Chief of the Bureau of Statistics, has received @ letter from Mr, Kdward Reed, dated Lon- don, December 2, 1m which the writer says:— It is quite certain that the very considerable suc- cess | have already acaleved in sending to the pro- per places skilled mechanics and others, and also agriculturists having small sums to commence with, can be extended vasty, this country being overbur- dened with an enormus population of men of great mechanical ability and some 1.ttle means, who want only proper advice and direction. These are the people Lam securing for the United States. Iam much pleased with the kind manner in whick you speak of and encourage my efforts, and if your de- partinent and the Land Office will keep me posted on all progress in connection with the subject of omigration and send me such documents as are 18- sued from time to time, 1s alll ask or desire. Im- mediately after the Alabama question 1s settled and peace and kindly feelings are insured there will be such an exodas of the bones and sinews of England to our country as will astonish even the must say- gulne of us. Personal. Stephen F. Hathaway, of Brooklyn, who 1s well known in the Grant-Murphy and Webster contro- versy, had an interview with the President and also witn Secretary Boutwell to-day in relation to that subject. Mr. Levi Hubbell was yesterday nominated and confirmed District Attorney for the Eastern district of Wisconsin, GARROTING. Yorkers Practising for State Prison. Among the cases before Justice Hogan, at the Tombs Police Court, yesterday morning, was that of two young rufians, named respectively Patrick Maloney and Thomas Murphy, arrested on a charge of garroting and highway robbery. It appearea in evidence that Thomas Fitzgerald was stand- ing at his own doorstep on the evening of the Juth inst., when the prisoners came up to him and bade him “good evening.’’ Maloney then stepped behind hita and placed his arm around his neck and his Knee tn the centre of his back, thus forcing his head back, while Murphy “went through’ his ockets, stealing a gold watch and thirty-five dol- ars in money. Both prisoners denied their gullt, but were fully committed by the Judge.

Burnet breathed his last in the city of Galveston on Monday evening, the 5th inst., hav- ing lived the blameless life of a true Christian itor eighty-three years, the best part of which was de- voted to the interests of Texas. President Burnet arrived in Texas in 1817, resided for several years among the friendly Indians, recuperating his health ‘and acquiring a fund of information regard- ing Mexican and Indian character which was of invaluable service to the republic in later years. Leaving Texas for South America, he eulisied under the banner of Mirander, and did good service under that distinguished chieftain. Returning to his adopied couniry, he assisted in throwing off the Mexican yoke, and as a reward for his services and‘in compilinent to his sterling in. iegrity and influence, he was chosen first President of the republic, ana it is but echoing the umanimous voice of his fellow citizens to say that no mere werthy occupant ever filled the position.

Adams came through from Utah with 219 head of cattle, taking the Henness Puss road. He came as far as Bear Valiey, when he missed fortv head, and a man who was driving wiih him was sent back with the Indian to find the missing cattle. At Bowman’s, where they camped the night before, they found nineteen of the cattle, and Adams, taking these, siarted below with the drove, while tue man and Indian went as far as Tracy's, and ‘having become satisiied that the cattle were no further back, started toreturn, In the meantime it came on to storm, the depth of snow was rapidly increasing, and their horses gave out two intles west of Jackson's ranch. ‘The man eft the Indian, telling him to come on, and he made his way to Bear Valicy. The Indian who ‘was thus abandoned on last Thursday has not since been heard of,aud ag the storm has been very severe since and he, an entire stranger to the coun- try, having just come from Utah, probably perished in the snow. fle had, when leit by his companions, some bread and meat. The missing cattle will also perish, as it has been storming ever since they were lost. John Summers, of Sierra Valley, who gives us tlis item, says tne suow is probably seven feet deep at Jackson's by this time. ‘ The New Orleans Zimes ot December 6 mentions the death of Sebastian Setler, an old resident of that city, and who for @ time edited a German journal there, He was @ fine classical scholar, and gained nsitlerable repute as an author.
