The Washington correspondent OF the Cinein-
natl Enquirer gives currency to re following
proposed changes in The Cabinet.
WAsaINeroS CIrY, Oct. u, 1868.
The new Cabinet question i becoming one of
unusual importance in the interior OF political
circles here.
A significant fact Is stated to-day, that Is,
that President Johnson has requested the i'm
mediate return, from Europe, OF Major General
George b. Mcclellan. This fact is stated
with much positiyeness, and upon high authority
IL IL known that Mr.. Johnson earnestly desires
that hs ad administration shall restore peace and
Union TO the whole country. Tie wants to be
the President OF both North and South, and Of
both parties in each section. He ia anxious TO
elicit the support OF the people. la this effort hs
finds il less d fhcult to bring together. in a unity,
the people Of The North and South. tLaa 10 IN
duce the Democrats and Republicans OF the
Northern States 20 cOalesce Ia this emergency.
having hitherto lett his Cabinet precisely as be
found il, he, it Is said, proposes TO make a direct
appeal to tue Northern Democracy by selecting
for the Secretary of War the mau who was the
Democratic candidate for President in the last
election. For this reason. il is rumored. the re
turn of Mcclellan has been demanded.
Thomas b. Florence, of PENNSYLVANIA, another
Union Democrat. has already been prominently
spoken OF a. Secretary OF the Navy. and Mont
geometry Dlaf, VINO pattclphle1 a ie" DAYS ago IN
the New York Democratic ratification meeting,
is mentioned "a probably to be invited to resume
control Of the Post Office Department. There
IL more foundation for these rumors than most
people are willing TO admit. Their mention viii
invoke a storm Of denuncisti0n from the radical
press aud psrtissns. but all this will not deter Mr..
johnson from selecting as his Cabinet advisers,
Union Democrats. whom he knows ne can i'm
plicitly trust.
IL is said to-day that Stanton would long ago
have retired from the War Department, except
for considerations OF personal safety and Go-
eouDtsbility, from which be is sheltered Only by
his panOply of Official power.
Major General Butler IL also meDlione Ell a. the
radical candidate for the War Department as the
successor of Stanton. but the reasons assigned
for the recall of Mcclellan are more poteat than
any assigned in favor OF any other whose nam
has been associated with this appointment Ii
has been suggested that such appointment would
not receive Senatorial confirmation, but Andy

much 6rmness TO be brow-beaten or dictated TO

will be melted away within a few months

The Nolan Cotton Islander Against
General >lOcum.


The Tribune and the Times, and all the lesser
Republican organs throughout the State, down
to the Buffalo Bxbress, have been shameIessiy
slandering General Slocum as implicated in a
corrupt cottOn-claim transaction at VicksburC In
1864. Two days ago We published the afida
Wits OF Colonel Starting, the President OF the
Commission which passed upon the holland
claim. and of General Hiram Rogers. Slocum's
Adjutant General during the war. now serving
under Preston King in the New York Custom
House. These afidavits explode this Islander
utterly. They establish not only the probability
that holland was a loyal msD, aud his cotton
claim a just one, but also these facts: ID that
the lamented General Mcpherson, Gen. Slocum's
superior officer, approved it, and indersed it over
10 Slocum 20 be satisfied, and that. therefore,,
Slocum was in nowise responsible for il, Just
or not; ~ that McPherson's order was being
obsyej. not by General SlocGm. but, in HE alb
sence from Nicksburg, by General Rodgers; 80
that General Slocum Interrupted the delivery OF
Noland's cotton. because there was not enough
cotton for him and other claimants also: "a
that he never delivered any cotton TO Noland:
Is that ne turned over all the cotton in his DIS
trict, with McPherson's order, the proceedings of
the claim boards, evidence and all, to the Treas
ury agent at New Orleans; g. that during three
years service, General Slocum never in q single
instance decided or ttempte to decide any
question Involving a title TO private property; %
nor never in a single instance surrendered seized
property. save 10 obedience to direct orders from
his superior officers, or the War Department.
A calumny could not possibly be more com
pletely crushed than this holland cotton calumny
is crushed by the evidence which we published

THE CHOLERA IN SOUTHAMPTON
Southampton (Oct. 4 Correspondence London Times.
The authorities here have divided the town
into nearly forty districts for the sake OF ssni-
tary Inspection. A town counsellor is at the
head of q visiting committee in elch district
Disinfecting substances are ordered to be thrown
into all privies and gully holes, and the walls of
all alleys and courts are now being w~hitewashed
Woodstone and Bittern. where cholera made its
appearance. is quite separated from the town by
the river Itchen. Both those suburbs have be-
cone very populous, and as there Is no system
of drainage or water supply yet Introduced into
those places, there are a large number of cess-
pools and drinking wells, and the former pOllute
the latter. There have been a few undoubted
bad cases Of cholera in Southampton, Bittern
and WoodstOne, but scarcely worse than those
which happen every hot summer among the sick
lest, poorest, and least careful of the population.
The mail packet surgeons here, who have seen
cholera both in Eastern aud Western hemi
spheres, state that if cholera of the true Asiatic
type really appeared here. il would make rapid
progress among the poor and ll-fei population
in the worst portions OF town.
THE CHOLERA IN THE SOUTH Or FRANCE.
From the Lyons Salut Public.
The number of persons who have been driven
to this city from the South by the cholera is esIi-
mated at about 10000. We cannot verify the
correctness of the figures, but what is certain is
that the hotels are crowded with strangers, the
msjOrity OF whom are marked by their Marseil-
lsise accent
The sanitary TetuIBs for Marseiiles show that
the total of deaths on the LIST inst, was thirty
seven, of whith thirteen were from cholera.
From the villages in the neighborhood of Toulon
The news is favorable. At AK there were only
TWO deaths from cholera on the 9th and 2Sth
ultimo; and one each at Salon, ST. Paul, Chyr-
leval. Martigues, and Venlabren. At L'lsle
" aucluse) forty-seven persons died of cholera
between the 10Th and 9th ultimo. A letter
from Sollies Pont states that On the Goth and
9th the epidemic was very fatal there, 6fty
deaths having occurred Ill 'hirty-six hours. On
the 2oth ultimo there were only twelve deaths
a considerable Improvement; but no doubt par
