Cam PROM JOHN MINOR BORIS
John Minor Bolts haskcome out in n
card DENYING that he has sought to pre-
yent the admission of the Virginia
Members. He says: i have maintain
cd that every Representative consutu-
tionnlIy elected, who was prepared 10
comply with the acquisitions Of the
Constitution and laws was, as fully en-
titled to take his seat as any of those
now occupying seats in either House.
10 nave taken any other ground would
have been TO admit that the States late
ly in rebellion had been out OF the
Union, and consequently that accession
was lawful and constitutional, posi-
ton that nobody VIII suspect me OF oc-
euPying.
CHANGES IN THE CABIHET.-1t tspost-
lively stated that theportfolio OF the In.
terror Department was offered 20 Sena-
tor DooliLtle, of Wisconsin, on Wedn 1e
| dny. and that he declined 1t. MT. liar
| Ian the present Secretary OF the lnte-
rio2 exuects 10 be elected Senator again
| from Town! Secretary Stanton,s physi-
/ cian tells him he must resign or die ana
Le is therefore seriously thinking about
resigning. Reports of aspending recon-
stEnntion of the cabinet on account oil
differences of opinion are squareiy con-
tradicted, and it Is affirmed that tho
cabinet Is n unit in support OF every
thing vital in the policy of the Presi-
dent, and that no changes arc thought
of except in the War and Interior De-
partments.
TAXATION OF U. S. BoNps.-The move
ment looking TO aitaxatiop of United
States bonds by the States, has not been
abandoned as has been supposed, but
will be revived Mt an early day. The
result OF this, If successful, will be an
effort TO increase the interest upon the
bonds sufficiently TO cover the tax
levied. The movement levying State
tax upon the bonds will, no doubt, be
successful, though the opponents of the
measure will die game in their efforts
10 defeat it. You are aware that this
proposed tax has reference to bonds is
sued in the future, and should the Sec
retnry of the Treasury come out with
long bond in payment of currency
funded, the interest would have to be
or,,,uI ~ ,,nI lasa than aityht ner cent. If
there was certainty of the State taxa
ton being passed.
DRsERTERs.-Deserte from the regu-
lar army during the past two or three
months have been unusually numer-
Gus, and in excess of tho number re-
ceived into its rnnk.by recruiting. AS
general rule about two-thirds of the
men enlisted since the close of the war
deserted after receiving their first pay
ment, aud the remaining third after the
second payment, and this state of things
is owing principally to the lack of dis
cipllne for which the officers are respon-
sible.
It Is nm acknowledged fnct that many
of the three months volunteer regt-
ments, raised ut u moments notice, Mt
the beginning of the war, were better
disciplined organization than some of
the regular regiments now are. The
navy Is also losing largely from this
cause. A few days ago, seventeen prt-
Yates and one corporal, of the marine
corps, stationed Mt this point; deserted
after receiving their pay.

District Court OF Alabama, having
made nn issue with the Government on
the habeas corpus, and declared the test
oath unconstitutional, has returned to
