Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON, August n, 1861.
THE MONEY INTEREST AND TIE CABINET.
A systematic and strenuous effort is being |
made by the money interest Of Boston and /
New York to effect change in the personnel |
and policy Of the Cabinet, by the removal Of j
Mesers. Seward, Cameron and We1les. Repre-.
sentirg the banks Of these two cities, which |
have just taken the Government lean, they |
claim that they havea right to be heard, and
their arrival here creates seme sensation. The
Boston committee is J. Wiley Edmunds, John
C. Gray, and William 7. Andrews. They have
been here two days, and have made change
in the War and Nayy Departments the sole
object Of their mission. The New York com
mittee have ncw arrived, and want Mr. Sew
ard removed as well as Cameron and WeleE.
They represent the Metropolitan, American
Exchange, Commerce, National, and Ex-
change banks, On behalf OF the city banks.
Irasmuch as the Boston committee has met
60 encouragement, it is presumed the New
York committee will have no better success
or That the two combined will be able to shake
Kr. Lircoln's determination to keep The con-
etitutional advisers whom he hes chosen.
PATENT APPLICATIONS.
There is d great increase in the number Of
Iatent applications from England and France.
PAYMENT OF PENSIONS.
Pensions are unpaid in the Slave States, ex-
cept Maryland, Missouri, and Keutucay-for
the obvious reason thas our Government could
not pay them If It would. There are two
pension offices still open in Tennessee, and
enc at Wheeling, Va, where all loyal pension
ers will apply for their stipends and be paid.
It is believed that many pensioners residing
IN the District, and il Maryland, will refuse
to take the oath, upon which Only thay can
get their dues.
