The CabInet-The Radical Members Or
/ dered 60 Hold On.


All speculat,ons concerning Cabinet changes
may as well be abandoned at once, for months
to come at least. A private caucus ofprominent
Republicans was held some time since, at which
It was resolved that the radical members o. the
Cabinet-meaning Stanton, soeed, and Harlan
should not only be requested not to resign,
but especially requested to hold on to their
present positions.
II was then and there determined that should
the President 60 to the extent of rem 1ving them
by the nomination Of persons 20 Eli their places,
their successors should not be confirmed in any
case, no matter who they should be. 1t is
claimed that the present incumbents rightfully
hold their places in the Cabinet untilRtheir sue
cessors have been confirmed. Heretofore
changes have generally been brought about by
designations. Now, il none resign and no new
appointments be confirmed it Is claimed no
change can be effected.
Admission OF Tennessee.
1t is universally expected that the Reconstruc-
ton Committee will tomorrow make their re-
port in regard to Tennessee. If not, an inde-
pendent resolution will be introduced into the
House to admit the members from that State.
The report of the committee win be accompanied
by the evidence taken, and upon its character
will depend the action of many members who
wish to be justified in their votes simply by the
facts in the case. An immense edition of the
report and evidence will be ordered for the use
and information of the people.
North CarOltna 10 Follow Tennessee.
Kenneth Raynor of North Carolina, appeared
on the surface at Wizards last night as a sup
porter of the Presidents policy of reconstruc
tion, ard as an intercessor for the speedy admis
sion to the National Legislature of that loyal
State. Loyal North Carolinians are confident
that their State will Immediately follow Tennes-
see in assuming her place in the constellation OF
States. They claim to be en- rapport with the
majority of the Reconstruction Committee.
RfTOrts TO Ke.estabiish the Government
works az Harpers Ferry.
A strong effort is being made before the proper
authorities tor the re-establlshment of the Gov
eminent gun shops and arsenal at Harpers
Ferry. 1t is estimated that two millions OF dol
lars or thereabouts will replace the Government
property at that point destroyed during the war,
and the Shenandoah people are anxious that the
same should be appropriated. MEANWHILE
orders have been issued from the Ordnance De-
partment for the removal of the small remaining
portion OF machinery and other armory property
at the Ferry to Springfield, Mass.
Alleged Nomination of General Meade
for Governor of Pennsy lvanla. =.
The COpperhead organ OF this city, Thomas
Florence's Constitutional Union, announces that
General Meade has agreed to accept the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor of Pennsylvania
and that he will be nominated by acclamation
by that Convention, which meets at Harrisburg
tomorrow. The editor of the above paper also
says that General Meade has telegraphed to the
President his intention of accepting the nomi-
nation on platform endorsing the Presidents
policy. This is mentioned only to show the
ridiculous and desperate efforts of the Copper
head faction to make inroads upon the strength
of the Union Party. No one credits the report.
