NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Herald's
Washington special says: Intelligence from
Richmond tonight states that Major Gen
eral Duncan Is there looking up facts TO be
brought up ia the case Of the government
against Frazier, Trenholm & Co. He has
been referred to number Of persons who
are supposed TO be in possession Of infor-
nation that may be useful, and also TO be
Registering officer in the State, and he
viii receive bis salary as General until a
further appropriation for, This purpose is
made. Only six thousand dollars now re-
mains in the hands Of the discussing officer
for this purpose.
The split in the Republican party in
Virginia will result in two tickets for the
constitutional convention; fheone proposed
BY the Radicals Is so Objectionable that an
independent ticket will be nominated. 1T
is more than possible that a Democratic
ticket will also be nominated.
At the last meeting Of the Cabinet The
question Of appointing permanent Secre,
tary of War was discussed, and the Presi-
dent has since had the subject under serious
consideration. Gen. Grant strongly urges
Major General Rawlins, his chief Of staff,
for the position, and it is quite probable
that he will receive the appointment
Gen. Hillyer has had several interviews
with the President and Secretary Mccall
loch in regard to internal revenue matters
in New York city. The result is stated to
he that the Metropolitan Internal Revenue
Board will be abolished, and the collection.
of revenue and detection of frauds will be
left TO the officers designated by law for
these duties.
The Times special says Gen. Schofield
left for Richmond this morning. The story
that he was called here by the President is
not true He came up TO see Gen. Grant.
The election in his district comes of Tues
day of next week, and he has no doubt but
the convention will be carried, and he
thinks it likely that a majority Of the del,
egates viii be Republican in politics. 1t
is probable. that he may ask for. a short
leave of absence after tae election is over.
; Tire Sub committee OF the House Judi,
ciary on the Maryland government will
begin its investigations here tomorrow. A
quorum Of the whole committee Will be
present. Select committee on Southern
railroads will leave this city for their trip
South on Wednesday next They will be
absent about a month, end will visit Rich
mond, Charleston, Chattanooga and Lou
isville .A aFf
The TribuDe's special says the Repnbl-
cans here expect that the Cabinet will be
harmcnized in support Of the threatened
Presidential coup d etot5h and they seriously
think that the aspect of affairs is franght
with grave danger, and they fear Congress
may convene in bold and defiant spirit,
and adhere to the declared policy Of the
extreme men, viz Impeachment and
suspension of-the President during the
trial; and since the elections, mere than
ever, they believe Mr.. johnson will resist,
and attempt with force, if necessary, to
maintain his constitutional right to hold
the Office until the judgment after trial
Others argue that the effect of the elections
has been to settle these questions, and that
impeachment will find fewer advocates at
the next session than. were counted In the
last.
The Star here denies officially the state
ment that Gen. Grant has expressed him
self as satisfied with the results of the late
elections in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Gen.
Grant also pronounces false and malicious,
the report going the rounds of the newspa-
pers, purporting to give a synopsis of his
evidence before the Judiciary Committee
on impeachment.
1t is doubtful whether Secretary McCul-
loch will make a report on the discovery
Of the counterfeit 1905; it might interfere
with the arrangements to detect and cap
ture the culprits. The amount thus far
discovered is $4,000. None were received
at the Treasury Yesterday.
