(BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Couumnta, April 30, 1877. The rumor telegraphed you last ovening relative to the probable resignation of all the republican secre- taries of departments ie authoritatively confirmed to- night. Ata consultation held this afternoon, at which ail theso officers were present, it was finally agreed that the only courso to be pursucd was that already indicatea in the Heraro, and which will be carried into effect to-mgrrow. METHOD OF SURRENDER. The surrender will be made without the usual accom- pavying protest or mauifesto as soon as the Supreme Court convenes, at which hour the attorneys of the re- spective parties will appear, tp accordance with ap un- derstanding arrived at to-night, aud the transfer will be quickly and quietly made in the form of u consent judgment, CAUSE OF THE ACTION, Thero 1s no room for doubting that this movemont is solely intended to defeat Judge Willard for the position of Chief Justice, as the republicans make no secret ot such being their aim. Their stratagem might, jodeed, have succeeded bad they kept its object to themselves, As it is, there is some likeiibood that tne mere fact of this determined opposition on the part of the republicans may intluence the democrats in a manner quite contrary to that desired by the uppo- jtiou—to wit, a moro cordial and effective support of the obnoxious candidate, THR MACKRY HOUSE.

Sherman) considers the right arm of his department. The Collector also considered the position as ope next in {importance to that of the Secrotary of the Treasury, and next, if not equal, to that of other Cabinet officers, When asked directly if he would accept the piace, tho Collector said. it depends upon his health and the wishes of Mrs, Simmons, The fact that he has lately been circulating petitions for reappointment as Collector gives ground for the belief that he would prefer bie prese! with a large salury and the political prominen acquired in Massachusetts, to the more bono at Wasbington, and where ho would be liable to be held in check by a more rigid application to the duties of civil service reform, &c, THE MONTREAL FIRE. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.} Morrregat, April 30, 1877, The inquest on the bodies of the victims by Sunday’s fire was opened this morning at tho Central Police Sta- tion, Four Aldermen retused to act as jurymen, Tho jury having been sworn, the Coroner explained their duty to be first to inquire into the cause of the fire— whetber it was the act of an incendiary or otherwise They were also to invostigate into the causes which led to the fall of the wall—whetner from its being im. properly built or otherwise, They should also delib. erate as to whether such buildings should be allowed to be erected in Montreal or not, Viewing the remains of the deceased was then uoder- taken by the jary, which occupied thom until two o'clock.

Mr. Gath said that Chret Patten was caught by the second fall of bricks, and was taken out near the entrance of the lane. The twelvo-inch wall was examined, and several jurors thought it looxed to be pretty weil built, CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. Tt was tho general expression wt opinion that the fastenings had not been suificiently strong, and that the joists having been burned off tho great weight of the machmery above pressed down against the wall, causing it to fall ov Rack of the twelve- inch wall was a very insecure une-vrick-wide wail; but as it did oot cagse the accident it met with little notice.

The gales were kept open, and after the crowd had mostly disappeared knots of operatives kept dropping 1n, 60 that at ono o'clock 400 were at work.
