IkumOrcd Intentions OF Southern
Men,.

1t is rumored that, should the Kansas
policy of the Administration be defeated
three of the Southern members of the
Cabinet-Cobb, Brown and Thompson
will resign. IL is also said that certain
Southern members of Congress will, in
such an event, initiate this patriotic ex-
ample by Immediately returning TO their
homes. Ofthis numberare Toombs, Ham,
mond, Evans, Davis, Brown and Slidell, o.
the Senate; Keitt, Ruffin, Shorter, Quit
man, and others of the House. Mr.. Cobt
is understood to have Presidential aspira,
tions which he prefers not to risk by seem
ing acquiesc in the rejection Of LIE
compton The several members of either
House, whom we have named, are from
States which have threatened immediate Sc
cession, on the refusal to admit Kansas
with the Lecompton Constitution
There is more probability, we think, o
some Cabinet changes in the possible even
supposed, than of the withdraw. of any
Southern Senators or Representatives
Should it happen, however, that some 0
the men named see fit to absent themselves
from the Capital, arrangements will prob
ably be made to continue the Govern men
until others are returned in their stead.

Doeler is a man about 40 years of age;

came to this county from Cincinnati, some
four years since He fled to Kentucky

n5~What would be the result

Rg-What would be the result if
the South should refuse to plant cotton for
a single season?-SpeecA Of Senator Ham,
naond of South Carolina.
We would answer, in reply to the above
query. that the planters Of the South and
their slaves would probably starve to
death eff they should refuse to plant cot
ton for single season." unless, indeed
they planted corn, or some other article in il,
its stead, upon which to live. That would
be the result to them, while the rest o
the world would have to dispense with
their cotton shirts--a great Inconvenience
but still trifling matter compared to the
necessity of having corn, wheat, pork and
beef which are raised by the farmers o
the Vest Cincinnati Enquirer.

An immense Democratic Anti-Lecomp-

Hail.
G.F. Gilmore, late editor of the "Post, "
p presided, with forty-fo Vice Presidents
and fourteen Secretaries.
Mr.. William A. Stokes made a power
full, bold ard eloquent speech. He said if
the Lecompton fraud is forced upon the
people of Kansas, it would cause the revo-
luton to be acted over again, to establish
the right of self-government.
Resolutions, reafirming the Cincinnati
Platform, and the doctrine Of Popular
Rights, were passed by acclamatioE.
John w. Forney addressed the meeting
at length, with some ability, discussing
the Kansas question.
The meeting was one Of the largest evel

Family En6Iuencc ina Washington

Family Influence ia Washington.
The Washington correspondent of the
"Press" says:
at is curious to notice how family in
fluence controls things in Washington.
Some skillful commentator could make up
most taking brochure on this subject if he
chose to do SO. The old families are adopts
at this business. They are the nobility of
the capital. They seem to think that every
thing belongs to them, and that they grow
CONS only to put them into place, or TO train
daughters only to match them to fortunes
or to bureaus. There are a number of
families who have .fVs and sir in Office.
The army, the navy, the marine corps, the
civil service, home and foreign, are
honored by the scions of the first families.
All kinds of destinations are resorted to to
accomplish these results. The labors of a
dozen Senators, the laurels won in dozen
party campaigns, even the learning and ex-
perieuce of life, are nothing in comparison
to the system adopted by these veterans
in Washington society. Not, indeed, thai
there is anything morally wrong in theil
