WASHINGTON.
THE CABINET TROUBLES.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The National Intelti-
gencer, to-day, says =" We have high authority
for saying that the loose and sensational rumors
which were circulated, and which were reflected
in some degree in the papers of last evening,
about troubles in the Cabinet yesterday, are un-
founded. The fact that General Grant came out
of the White House some time before the other
gentlemen, yesterday, was to be ascribcd to his
business habi.s, rather than to any far-fetched
and imaginary cause, when the session was pro-
tracted till towards the close Of the business hours
of the day"
