From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-rhat difference
OF opinion exists among the members of the
presidents cabinet touching the right of state
peaceably to secede is known by every well.
informed person here but that this difference
of opinion has led to any unpleasant difficulty
in cabinet meeting is wholly untrue. Nor are
the cabinet divided as stated in the Herald s
dispatches. Gov. Floyd is enormously repre-
scented as defending the right of and favorable
to secession, while Gen. Cass is very open in
his opposition to it yet the latter does not
believe the Union can be kept together by
force.
The right of President Buchanan to enter
tain and carry out his own views is not cues
toned by any cabinet officer, and he is pre-
pairing these views for his message. While
he will deny the right Of peaceable secession,
he will show that he has no legal power to
prevent it. Independent of the difficulty of
there being neither federal judge or marshal
in South Carolina, the acts OF 1895 and 1907,
the only acts in force on the subject, give him
no authority for using either the militia or the
federal forces to enforce the execution of the
United States laws, after congress has been in
session thirty days. The power must come
from congress. Such is the view OF Mr.. Blu,
chanan, after a thorough examination OF the
subject by himself and Attorney General
Black, and on this he will act, without ohjec.
ton on the part of his cabinet, sensation dis
patches to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Letters from several points at the south as
sert that the minute .men are organizing a
large furce to attack the wide awakes at Wash
iugton on the 4th of March, and thus prevent
Lincaln's inauguration
Howell, district attorney for eastern Arkan
sas, has resigned. There are numerous appli.
cations to fill the vacancy.
