WASHINGTON. Mr. Fish to Withdraw from the Cabinet in December. THE NEXT SECRETARY OF STATE—WHO? Chief Architect Mullett’s Dissatisfaction with the Treasury Laws, | HIS SUCCESSOR NOT NAMED. WASHINGTON, Nov. 24, 1873. Rumoted Withdrawal of Mr. Fish from the Cabtnet—The Event to Occur in December—Who Wilt Suceced Him * it 1s understood that Secretary Fish will retire from the Cabinet early in December. The reason for so doing tv that his health will no longer per- mit him to remain in pubic ife, For some time past he has been complaining, and his physicians have. warned him that, unless he has rest and o change of diet and scene, he may at any moment be stricken with apoplexy. For this reason alone he will retire trom the oftice to which, through six years of laboricus service, he has become very much attached, fiis successor nas not yet been named, It is belteved to be the President’s inten- uuon to tender # Cabinet appointment to Mr, Biaine, and it is not regarded as probable that in the reorganization of tne Cab:net two members | ‘Will be selected from New England. The Worty Difficulty Between Secre- tary Bristow and Architect Mallett. The resignation of A, B. Mullett, Supervising Architect of the Treasury, was an insignificant event, but from what has been developed to-day may prove the cause o! a very important matter, No one has been more anxious to get rid of Mullett than Secretary Bristow. ‘The position is only recognized “by the Appropriation act and does not | ; come under Presidential control, yet there are many reasons why the President should ctesire Mr. Mullett to remain tn the oitice, Through Muilett, it is alleged, tne house of A. R. Shepnerd & Co. hashad e monopoly of government plumbing, gas fitting, &c., for years, No matter where the building was erected, Boss Shepherd did the work. Even San Francisco could not furnish com- petent workmen, and the Washington firm of Shepherd & Co. had to do the work, So of Boston, New York, Chicago, New Orleans, and everywhere the government has had work of this kind. Though Secretary Bristow cannot tolerate the irascible architect, the fortunes of the house of Shepherd requires that he must, for that is the President’s Pleasure. This is not the first time Secretary Bristow bas been put to mortification and chagrin. He realizes more and more every day that while he 1s called Secretary of the Treasury, he is merely the President’s clerk. But what cunhedot He accepted the office at a great personal sacrifice, and to resign now would not bring him any nonor. His report to Congress on the financial condition of the country has received his most thoughtiul attention, and ne hopes by his zeal and care to earn for himself such a reputation as will in a measure compensate for the loss of his legal Practice during the time he is in ofiice. But to return to Mullett. His resigna- tion has been accepted ‘to take effect There is another resignation of the same kind at the Wmte House, andit has been there for nearly three years, that of James F. Casey, Collector o! the Port of New Orleans. The country will remember with what gusto the President demanded the resigna- tion of bis brother-in-law, which was promptly tendered and accepted to take effect ‘on the ap- pointment of his successor.” The Louistana Con- gressional delegation was requested to unite upon ‘Bomebody to succeed Casey. With a unanimity somewnst unprecedented they agreed among themselves not to recommend anybody, and so Mr, Casey's resignation is still mthe hands of the President, where it will remain until bis suc- cessor appoints another man Collector of New Or- leans. So with Mr. Moullett’s resignation. His successor cannot ne found, and no one iit for the office would take it now. All the large cities have new public buildings or they are in course of erection, 80. there is no more room for display of architectural talent. Four thousand dollars a year is no compensation for a man who could design a building, the plans of which woula be worth that sum alone, and it is expected that it will be convenient for Mr. Bristow not to try to Qnd Mr. Mullett’s successor. It was only 4 bit of unpleasantness. Mullett was profanely empnatic; but that isa daily pastime, while the Secretary also indulged in a brevet interjection, which is something extraordinary tor him, and has not happened before since 1862. Botn regret the pub- Meity the affair has gained, and so Mr. Mullett will continue to be Supervising Architect until nis auccessor is appointed. Senator Logan suys that Mf Mullett is in office when Congress meets he will Rave an Investigation of Mullett’s ofice. The fitends of Mr. Bristow are confident tnat either he or Mr. Mullett will vacate nis office, and the beitef here to-nigntis that it will not be Mr. Mullett. Mr. Bristow has been reminded that iora Secre- tary to have a will of his own 1s equivalent toa resignation, notably as in the case of J. D. Cox, ex-Secretary of the Interior.

He buys all kinds of animais, brands them, and puts them on one of hts ranches, The drove which crossed at El Maad’s ranch, sixteen miles below Brownsville, consisted of 200 head. They belonged mostly to J. G. Brown, Sberu ot Cameron county, who waited on Judge Castello Montero, of Matamoros, and procured an order to pursue and recover the stolen cattle, The order was placed in the hands of Jesus Villareal and others on tnis side, They followed the trali to the ranch of Reacor de la Capella, filty miles irom Matamoros. The owner of the ranch told them they could not enter his pasture, Aiter seeing Judge Montero’s order le went with them, ana they found 117 head of cat- tle, The robbers had selected and removed the best. They proceeded toward Matamoros with the cattle, but were met by three policemen, hav- ing orders from General Cortina, Mayor of Mata- moros, to take the cattle irom them, on the ground that an American had no right to pursue and recover stoleo property in Mexico. Villareal | exhibited the order of Judge Montero, when one Ot the policemen was sent fo report to Cortina, while the others remained with Villareal, On Saturday night ‘ast the cattle were penned at Paentas Veraes, three miles irom Matamoros.

Mr. Brown demanded the others | from Villareal, and was told that two | had been eaten on the road and five left witn Cortina, who demandea $10 tor a heifer of Captain King's, which had been killed, Brown said he he'd Villareal accountable ior the missing anti- mals, when he suddenly found himself surrounded by Gregorio Rodriguez, Joaquin Treveno and oth- ers, escaped prisoners trom Grownsviile jail, General Cortina refused to give up the cattle. Bgnretenied he had been made to pay heavily for property reciaimed irom Texas, This is untrue, and was raid as a pretext for levying blackmail on | Brown. Cortina said he would leave tne case to | the Judge; yet he bad just violated the Juage’s order by seizing the cattle. Mr. Brown 1s in Mata- moros now, ALABAMA.
