The Southern Convention

In this body on the 18th instant, resolu-
tions were offered and referred declaring the
acquisition Of Cuba necessary for the pro-
lection Of the commerce, and for the securi-
ty of the Southern coasts, and urging the
immediate action Of Congress upon the SUBJ
ject; also recommending reciprocal treaty
between Spain and Mexico for the repeal Of
the laws suppressing the slave trade; also
in favor of a railroad from Norfolk to the
mouth of the Ohio river.
Mr.. Marshall, of Mississippi, read a long
report about The institution Of slavery, show
ing its value 10 the South, and several
speeches were made by others on the Pa
cifc railroad project.
On the 18th were passed resolutions in
favor OF the Pacific railroad; also for remov-
ing the distractions in, and deepening the
mouth of the Mississip pi river; also for re-
gulating the guarantees at New Orleans

CALICO BALLs.-The Ladies of some o.
our Eastern Cities have introduced Calico
Balls. The arrangement is this: One Of
the fashionables issues tickets for ball land
states in the ticket, that every lady who at
tends is expected to appear in a Calico
Dress, which is to be sent 10 her the day
following, and by her given to institutions
or committees who are charged with pro-
viding for the poor of the cities. This Is
fashionable charity. These dresses cost
froma dollar to dollar and a-half each, but
each lady who attends ore of these balls and
contributes dress, spends at least five dol
lars in other articles of dress, carriage hire
&c., which would not be spent, if they were
to stay at home. Why not stay at home
then, and contribute five dollars each, in
cash, to the poor, and let them not only 81
themselves a dress, but some bread and
meat, and shoes and stockings?

NfThe financial excitement in st. Louis
was Of short duration. Sunday intervening,
gave time for reflection, and action. A num-
Der of gentlemen, whose united wealth a.
amounted to eigh. million Of dollars made q
publication in the papers, pledging them
selves TO sustain the Private Bankers and
the Boatmen's Saving Institution, and quiet
was restored. The entire State owes those
gentlemen great debt Of gratitude, for their
promptness in staying crisis which would
have brought ruin and disaster on the COM
mercial interests Of the country.

Correspondence of the New York Herald.
Cabinet Changes.
WAsHrNoroN, Jan. Is, 1876

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 10, 1853.
The truth Of the announcement made in
the Herald on Tuesday, last, that Mr.. Soule
had resigned, has been established to-day in
manner which leaves no room for doubt,
and is another instance of the reliability OF
your information.
John c. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, was
nominated this afternoon as Minister 10
Spain, and confirmed unanimously, vice
Soule, resigned.
The dangerous illness of Mr.. Mason in
Paris, and the probable vacancy in the mis-
sion, has fastened the completion of the pro-
gramme which has for some time been in
contemplation for change in the Cabinet.
Very recently Mr.. Buchanan was writ
ten to 10 exchange places with Marcy, who
has determined to leave the State Depart.
ment, and for the last six months has only
been looking for safe retreat in first class
mission, and Mr.. Mason's illness will prob
ably furnish an opening sooner than could
be provided by Buchanan's return.
1t is known that Buchanan will not accept
the State Department his friends alleging
that he is much too smart 10 allow himself
to be the legatee of Marcy's blunders.
Mr.. Guthrie will also 60 out.
This change in the State and Treasury
departments involves, of course, complete
reorganization Of the Cabinet. What furth-
er has been determined upon we are not al
liberty to state in detail, but the following
changes are not improbable, viz:
The Ex-Governor Seymour, of New York
now here, and Ex-Governor Cobb, of Gcor.
| gia, will fill the vacancies, and should Cush.
ing be provided with mission, Toucey
of Connecticut, will also be called upon.
Mr.. Gushing is favorable to him-all the
leaders of the democratic party desiring that
he should leave the Cabinet. If both the
English and French missions become vacant
tits more than probable Gushing will receive
one of them.
There is no doubt that strong Buchanan
influence is at work here, and these are some
of the results.
The change in the Cabinet carries with i
change in the foreign policy of the admins
tration, which now, owing to Marcy's in.
fluence, is anti-progressive, anti-Cuba, and
anti-inaugural.
Mr.. Slidell, upon seeing the announce
ment in last weeks Herald Of Soules resig
nation, became alarmed, and at once posted
for Baton Rouge, to look after his reelection
to the Senate. Mr.. Soule having written tc
his friends TO present his name. Slidell's
chances arc minute.
