Special to ths New York Herald
The tremendous political revolution IN Ohio
has quite taken Secretary Chase and his trends
sbsck, as It is constructed into a direct rebuke
OF him and his financial policy. So assured was
Mr. Chase Of the favor in which his financial
scheme was held BY the people, that he ind0Tsed
the nominating Of SpaUlding iu the Erie district
OF New 1ork-as Spaulding vas bis right hand
man IN the HOu5e-suppOsiEg that his personal
lntertefesce in favor Of that gentleman would
be great help 70 him. He mas been cruelty
undeceIYsd By the Ohio election, and finds that
his indorsement-if nothing elss-is likely 10
insure SPsulding's defeat. There is now no
BARN in stating that when a re0rga zsdon Of
the Cabinet was talked OF, pending, or immedi-
ately subsequent to, the issuing Of the Presi-
dents proclamation, Mr.. Chase was designated
for Secretary of State, and AIr. Galatin, Of your
city, tor Secretary Of the Treasury.
The friends Of the Rev. John A. GureY Of
Ohio, are much surprised to learn that the
wooden gun which he brought al the way from
Centerville to prove General McClellans imbs-
cilty should have recOiled with such effect as to
prevent the reverend gentleman's reelection to
Congress.

route for Washington, has been ordered By his

will sail for America by the steamer Scotia,
which leaves Liverpool, the 25th inst. This de-
tention, it is ssid, Is to allow time to ministers
to prepare important dispatches for the United
States government which have been determined
on by the late events which have occurred ia
this country.
INDIAN ANNUFTIES To BE PAID IN SPECIE
It is understood that the annuiiies of the In
dams are to be paid in specie, as the red men
are not quite satisfied with the greenbacks.
Had the same thoughtfuluess been exhibited
some months since when the commissioner OF
Indian Affairs was impOrtunate 10 get funds to
make immediate payment OF suuUities, the pres
ent troubles on the frontier might possibly have
been sYerted.

THE NEGRO COLONIZATION SCHEME.
Mr. Seward has given official notification
stating D effect that on account Of the prOtesta-
sion Of the representatives. Of Central American
States against the negro colonization scheme Of
Senator POmerOy and Others, the whole thing
must stand suspended for the present Thera
are two or more speculative interests that, under
some slight color of title in Central America,
want to get this gov ernment to DO something IN
the way of occupying territory there, whereby
they can make money. Meantime all the negroes
in the South are in a great fright about being
taken away from the country. 1t is not more

polls, unanimously repudiste the idea OF eXBeDd-

ticsl method to dispose Of them is to adopt the
suggestion Of establishing an agency here,
whereby the contrabands may be parceiled out
among such farmers Of the North as may send
to Washington for them. In tbs way the South
may be gradually drained Of its slaves.
