New YORK, Aug. 27.-The Times
special sayssit is well known tn, t.for
some time past the President has vir-
sgnations of his Cabinet officers,
which had been offered verbally, but
recent events have induced them to
repeat the offer, and | am able to state
on the best aut hority that the Presi-
dent now has in his possession the
formal written designations of every
member of his Cabinet In this con-
nection, the fact that Jerry Black
{ who has been absent from the city for
several days, has been telegraphed to,
advising him of the change in the af-
fairs of the Cabinet, and requesting
him to return Immediately, is signifi-
can't
The neutrality-suspicious. in the case
of McCulloch, though probably his
resignation will be the last accepted
from the fear of damage to the public
credit, still l am pretty certain he will
be permitted to withdraw after some
time, and a better man appointed in
his stead The idea probably is to
! familiarizel the public mind to a pro-
posed change in the Treasury manage
ment by degrees and not make too
sudden change. Among the rumors
afioat is one that Secretary McCulloch
has accepted an offer from Jay Cooke
4 Co., to manage the new Banking
House which they are about to open
il. London. If this be true it would
certainly bear out the probabilities
o. lMcCulloch's probable retirement.
The Tribuae's special says it is in
timated that Grant will ask to be re-.
lieSed from duty at the War office
soon, as indicated In his correspond
ence of yesterday. This is but the
beginning OF aplan to carry the next
Presidential election by the Democra-
cy. Changes in the Cabinet will GER
tainly take place. Stewards friends
say he will surely go. 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 hPresi-
dent 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 it not have been satisfactory
tonight Randall will send in his re.
Signation- Tomorrow .h-Its.t I9i
Ward HI. LamOn, a law partner of
derry Black, is here. He was onee
appointed Marshal for the District of
Columbia by President Lincoln, and
is now being pushed for the place by

1t is represented by the Intel2i9en-
Ger that the pressure on McCulloch
has been considerably, checked. The
feeling is SO strong against his resig-
nation, that his opponents have begun
to give him up as hopeless case,
Jerry Black is spoken as Mr., Sew
ard's successor. @ Tt D.l ,oa
s The Times special says the Presi-
dent has ordered the bureau of rebel
archives, of which DIR. Francis Lieber
was chief, to be closed. This bureau
was organized by Secretary Stanton.
and contains all the captured records
of the civil and military administra-
ton of the defunct Confederacy. It
has been of great service to the gov
eminent in its various investigations.
