The President to-day a1nnestied number

The publication protesting to give reports of
what takes place in the Cabinet, are. to saw

confidence that there is not now. nor is II he
lleyed there will be, any substantial or mats-
rial difference between the President and b;s
CABINET, with regard to the restOracv nf tbe

dent, it is known from the representations of
his intimate friends, is determined tn nnrsne
substantially the reconstruction programme
LAID down, having reasonable evidence from
the South that it will be successful MANY of
the accounts from that section are EXAGGERATED
and misrepresented. III
IL Is believed that portion of the Cabinet
are unwilling to have Jefferson Davis tried for
treason, while there is reason for asserting
IllaI t,le resident IS persistent for having him
brought before civil taibunal.
Chief Justice Chase is expected to arrive
here in the course of few DAYS. for consulta-
tlon with the President as to the time, man.
ner ana place which shall be designated. ai
Inc aDiest counsel in the United States are
Delng consulted on the subject There is a
nxed determination on the part of the Execu-
i've tnat there shall be an immediate and fair
trial by jury of his country of Jefferson Davis
for high treason.
1t may, in addition to this, be confidently as
serted that the President has determined, as
soon as practicable, to withdraw the order sus-
pending the writ of habeas corpus.
Hon. Thomas G. Weakes, of Ohio, has been
appointed Commissioner of Patents in place of
Mr.. Holloway resigned.
The Solicitor of the Treasury has issued a
circular in reference to counterfeiting. He
has directed that the administration of the
bonds and the prosecution of the measures in
tended by Congress shall be committed to the
Solicitors Office, and that there be organized
therein division under the direction of COM

A. P. Stone, collector of internal revenue in
Ohio, was, it is ascertained, defaulter to the
amount of $4,000. His sureties are bound in
the sum of 100000. They are perfectly res
ponsible and will satisfy the government
Nearly four hundred million dollars have
passed through the Internal Revenue Bureau
since its organization, and so far it has not
sustained the loss of single dollar by the
misconduct of any one Of its officers The
last days receipts from the internal revenue
amounted to nearly 81 100000.

NEW YORK, Aug. Is.
The steamer Mississippi, from New Orleans
the 9th, has arrived.
New Orleans papers contain the following:
The army worm is ravaging acres in Whar-
ton County, Texas.
The Times city of Mexico correspondent
says that the imperial fetes have been of the
most gorgeous description, and the display of
diamonds of fabulous price was redundant.
Marshal Benjaine's organ, the Estafeta, de-
clareS that 100000 more men are wanted to
put down the Republicans, and the Era
says that that number would be insufficient, as
the opinion Of nearly the whole population is
against the empire. The victories claimed by
the French are unfounded. In fact the Lib
erals show the utmost disregard for death.
Mejia's divisions are kept close in Matamoras
by Cortinas, and the latter would occupy it at
once were the former to evacuate. Cortinas
has issued proclamation that unless the citi-
zens of Matamoras cease their adherence to
Maximillian, he win pronounce them as trait
ors, and contiscate their property.

Financial Troubles Failure and Disappear
o9 $50 New York, Aug. Is.
There is great excitement in money cir
cles this morning, and number of failures
are reported; among others are Chas. Graham
& Co, and Ketchum & Son are suspended. It
is reported that Ketchum & Son have over
issued gold checks to the amount of 81 100000
and left for parts unknown. s has E'.,i
Further developments of forgery of certifi-
Gates have been made to-day 1t appears that
Mr.. Edwin Ketchum, of the firm of Morris,
Ketchum, Son q Co., has been in charge of
the business of Charles Graham, broker in Ex-
change place, during the illness Of that gentle
man. Upon his return to his Office he discov-
cred several checks were missing from his
check book. This fact has led to the suspi-
cion that Mr.. Ketchum is concerned in the
forgery of certain fraudulent checks that have
within a few days past been brought to light.
At all events he is absent s,l3
1t is said Mr.. Graham has been yictimized
to the extent of $2S5,000.
This morning the firm of Ketchun, Sons &
Co., have also announced their inability to
meet their engagements. Mr.. Graham stated
at the board that he hoped to be able to settle
all his stock contracts at to-day's prices.
Another statement in explanation of the
suspension of Morris, Ketchum & Co., is that
Mr.. Ketchum's son had distracted bonds and
other securities from the vaults of the banking
house to the amount of $2,O00,O00. AiIE
Another is that young Ketchum forged gold
certificates to the amount of S2,5O0,0O0, which
had been passed into the Golfers of the banks
which win be the principal sufferers. uia
After sitting the various rumors, it seems es-
tablished that young Ketchum is gnilty of rob
berries to the amount of not less than $1,000
600 He had for some time taken the ulaen Of
his father in the management of the business,
and possessed the fullest confidence of all Who
knew him. He left his home last evening and
has not been traced since. His partners did
not suspect their losses yesterday so adroitly
were his transactions conducted.

his wife and children, went to Vicksburg In
1858, the rebel government sent him to Eu-

there eight months, when he returned to Rich
