Washington special says a 1t is wen

Of the designations of his Cabinet Off
GERS, which bad been offered verbally,
Int recent events induced them, to re-
neal the offer. l am now able to state,
ON the best authority, that the Presi.
dent now has in bis possession the
formal written designations of every
member of the Cabinet. In this con-
nection, the fact that Jerry Black, who
has been absent from tha city for sew
eral days, has been photographed to ad-
vising him of the change in the sfairs
of the Cabinet and requesting him to
return Immediately is significant.
The Herald's Washington special
says: In the case Of McCulloch, though
probably his resignation will be the
last accepted, from the fear OF damage
to the public credits, still l am pretty
certain that he will be permitted 10

L Secretary McCnlloeh has accepted
an offer from Jay Cook, & Co, to man
age the new banking house about to be
opened in London. If this be true it
would certainly lear out the probabili-
ty of M'Culloch's probable retirement.
The Tribune's Washington special
saws: 1t is intimated that Grant will
ask to be relieved from duty at the War
office soon. AS indicated in the cores
pondence of yesterday, this is but the
beginning of plan to carry the next
Presidential election by the Democracy.
Changes in the Cabinet will certainly
take place. Stewards friends say he
will surely 60. The old man has been
keeping very quiet lately and has little
to say at the White House. Randall
expresses to his friends Willingness to
resign. He had long interview with
the President tonight. Before he went
to the White House he told his friends
that on the interview would depend
whether or not he would resign. Should
il not have been satisfactory tonight
Randall will send i'll his resignation to-
morrow.

Jerry Black here, once appointed Mar
shall for the District of Columbia by
President Lincoln, is being pushed fol
the place by the Democracy, represent
ed by the Intelligencer.
The pressure on MCCULLOUGH has been
considerably checked. Thefeeling is sc
strong against his resignation that his
opponents have begun to give him III
as hopeless case.
| The Times Washington special says
The President has ordered the Bureau
of Rebel Archives, of which DIR. Francis
| Lieber was chief, closed. This bureau
was organized by Secretary Stanton ant
contains all the captured records of thu
civil and military administration of thu
defunct cOnfederacy. 1t has been o
great service to the Government In 1T
various Investigations.
WASHINGTON, August GA private
letter dated near Fort Hayes, Kansas
August 10th, says the cholera has beer
the scourge of the Plains this summer
and it seems strange that it should evel
become an epidemic there, the air being
so pure and so many thousands of square
nIiies of it. One company of cavalry n
| that post lost twenty-one men by chol
era, and thus far eighty-two men in al
have been lost by that disease at the
post.
The following is the order removing
