The Army--Mustering Out--Ru-
mOra of Cabinet Changes

New YORK, Aug. 10.-The Herald's WASH
ington special says: We have ascertained
from Off cial sources that on the first day of
last May there were one million and fifty
thousand men enlisted in the army and OH
the pay-rolls. Since that date there have
been discharged little over seven hundred
thousand, leaving in round numbers about
three hundred and thirty thousand still in
the army and on the pay-rolls. Of the
number discharged about three hundred
thousand are now en- route and at their sew
eral rendezvous, to be paid off and muster
ed out The funds sufficient to meet this
demand are in the hands of paymasters,
and are being paid out as fast as possible.
The others who have been discharged, or
over four hundred thousand, have been
fully paid off and mustered out. The
rapidity with which part of the work has
been performed may be inferred from the
fact that official figures in the Department
at Washington shows there have been paid
off and mustered out during the last thirty
days, 100000. The recent order of the War
Department will probably muster out about
hall OF Sheridan's troops, and Paymaster
Wilson starts tomorrow with nearly five
millions of dollars to pay them off. .-
Rumors of contemplated Cabinet changes
are circulating again. How much founda-
tion they have in fact no one seems able to
say. John Covode and John w. Forney
are mentioned as possible successors to
Secretary Harlan, of the Interior Depart
ment, and Mr.. Seward is once more said to
be about to retire. The probabilities are
decidedly against immediate changes.
The reported reconciliation between
General Butler and Admiral Porter is un-
true.
Hon. Alfred Ely, of N. Y, is in the city,
and report hath it that he has been sum-
moned, together with Maj. Gen. Wilcox,
and Gen. Lee, of Boston, to testify concern
ing the treatment Of prisoners, before the
Military Commission about to be convened
for that purpose.

HORRIBLE WFE-MURDER.-The Cleve-
land papers of yesterday contain the details
of horrid murder committed at Bedford
In Cuyahoga county, on Wednesday after
noon, by DR.. John w. Hughes, of Cleve-
land. The Doctor had, some months ago,
| enticed Miss Tamsey Parsons, of Bedford,
to 60 with him to Pittsburg, where he mar
ried her. In few weeks, she learned he
had another wife and three children living.
She left him and returned to Bedford. Her
friends caused the Doctor to be arrested
He was tried and sent to the Penitentiary
for bigamy, but was pardoned last March,
and returned to the practice of his profess
sion in Cleveland.
He sent his former wife to the Isle of
Man, and strove to induce his second to
i've with him, but she was positive and de-
cided In her refusal. On Wednesday he
went to Bedford with some companions,
and sought an interview with Miss Par
sons. She declined to have anything to
say to him, but he persisted, and she threat
ened to have him arrested ii he did not
cease to persecute her. The Cleveland Leader
thus describes what followed:
He told her that he would give her so
much time in which to decide whether she
would again live with him, and then he rea
Joined his companions, and spent several
hours drinking. About two o'clock in the
afternoon he went to the house again, and
took up his station in the garden. Not
dreaming that he was on the premises, she
at length went into the front yard. He ap-
preached and asked if she would go home
with him.. She shook her head In refusal,
when, "they" say, he exclaimed, "Good-
bye, Tamsey, we will meet in another
world" and fired, the ball taking effect in
the back cord of the neck. She wheeled
around and he fired second time, the shot
lodging in the back of her head, causing
instant death.
The Doctor fled after the commission of
the murder, but was pursued and arrested
the same night, and lodged in the jail at
Cleveland.

Gen. Grant on the Mexico m Ques.
1inm

New YORK, Aug. 10.-A Quebec dispatch
says: While here Gen. Grant spoke without
reserve to several persons on the Mexican
question. He said that he had placed one
hundred thousand men on the Rio Grande
as an army of observation, and that the
French would have to leave Mexico, peace
ably if they choose, but forcibly if they re-
fused. The situation of Mexico he looked
upon as one which had been created by the
rebellion, and the rebellion would really
not be overcome until Maximilian were
compelled to depart and the Mexican people
allowed to organize government without
foreign interference. With regard to the
relations between the United States and
England, he did not think the present
friendly state would be disturbed unless
complications ensued by reason of Eng
lands mixing herself up with France in
the Mexican question.

A Severe Naval Engagement.

July 29th, giving an account of severe
naval engagement between the Brazilian
fleet and Paraguay steamers and some
floating batteries, that took place on the

the river Parama. The greatest bravery
was displayed on both sides, and the slaugh-
ter was fearful. Victory was claimed by
the Brazilians.
The town of San Borja, on the river Ur-
uguay, has been captured by the Para
guayans, who, it's said, put the entire Bra
lillian garrison to death.

The M-MINsTRELsY.- Morris
& Wilson's Minstrels give the first of their
two performances in this city at the Athen-
cum this evening. This first entertainment
is to conclude with farce-"Peter Piper
Pepper Podge."
The Minstrels concluded last evening
series of entertainments at the Academy of
Music in Cleveland. Speaking of the per-
formance on Tuesday evening, The Plain
Dealer says:
The audience last evening was fully as
large as on the night before, and was of
more fashionable and intelligent class than
usually patronize minstrelsy in this city.
The programme, a faultless one, was
admirably rendered and was received
throughout with delight and applause.
The music was far superior to that usually
performed by travelling troupes, and where
in 1t aimed at the comic, it was laughable
from its wit rather than from its ridicul-
BUSINESS. The first part, consisting of songs,
choruses and ballads, was meritorious,
while the jokes, wit and repartee, that were
interspersed, were not the stale Stiffness that
has been hashed and rehashed for the past
dozen years. The remainder of the pro-
gramme was given with excellent taste and
well received.

ASSAULT UPON NEGRo.-On Wednesday

ASSAULT UPON NEGRo.-On Wednesday
evening, about six o'clock, as n negro,
whose name we did not learn, was walking
along the street, near the intersection of
High and Long, he was met by some SOL
diers belonging principally, we understand,
to the I'd Ohio Battery. Something was
said about the right of the negroes to vote,
when the soldiers commenced throwing
stones at the colored pedestrian. They
pelted him so severely that his head and
face were cut in several places, and the
blood flowed copiously from the wounds.
A gentleman of the vicinity, who showed
some signs of interfering in the negro's be-
hall, narrowly escaped sharing like fate.

Foreign Emigration - Napoleon
Going to Take Up the Mexican

New YORK, Aug. 10.-Late foreign pa
persr show that the rush of emigrants to
this country from the North of Europe is
setting in with more than usual vehemence.
$1,000 Polish exiles are making arrange
ments with the Swiss Government for
transportation to the free soil of the United
States. From Norway the exodus of the
most valuable part of the population is so
great as to excite the fears of the authori-
ties, who are endeavoring to check It.
News, usually very well informed, throws
out hint that Napoleon is preparing to
take up the Mexican question on his own
account as soon as Macmillan returns to
Miramon.
