NEW YORK, August 27.-The Times
special says: 1t is well known that
for some time past the President has
virtually been in possession OF the
resignation of his Cabinet officers,
which had been offered verbally, but
recent events induced them to repent
the offer, and 1 am able TO state on the
best authority that the President now
has in his possession formal written
designations of every member OF his
Cabinet. In this connection, the fact
that Jerry Black, who has been absent
from the city for several days, has been
telegrHphed to, advising him of the
change in the affairs of the Cabinet, and
requesting him to return Immediately,
is significant.
The Herald's special says: In the
case of McCulloch though probably his
resignation will be the last accepted
from the fear of damage to the public
credit, still / am pretty certain that
he will be permitted to withdraw after
some time, and a better man appointed
in his stead. The idea probably is TO
familiarize the public mind to the re-
ported change in the Treasury Depart
ment management, by degrees, and not
make too sudden change. Among the
rumors afloat is one to the effect that
Secretary McCulloch has accepted an
offer from Jay Cooke q Co., to manage
their new banking house about to open
in London. If this be true, 1t would
certainly bear out the probability OF
McCulloch's retirement.
The Tribuns's special says: 1t is inti-
mated that Grant will ask to be released
from duty ut the war office soon. As
indicated in the correspondence of yes
terday, this is but the beginning of a
plan TO carry the next Presidential cleo
ton by the Democracy. Changes in the
Cabinet will certainly take place. Sew
a rd's friends saw he will surely 90, The
old man has been keeping very quiet
lately and has little to say at the White
House. Randall expresses to his friends
Il willingness to resign. He had long
interview with the President tonight.
Before he went to the White House be
told his friends that on the interview
would depend whether or not he would
resign. Should it not be satisfactory
tonight, Randall will send in his lesig-
nation tomorrow.
Ward ii. LRIDon, law partner of
Jerry Black here, and once appointed
Marshal for the District OF Columb ia by
President Lincoln, is being pushed for
the place by the Democracy represent
ed by the Intelligencer.
The pressure on McCulloch has been
considerably checked. The feelings are
so strong against his resignation that
his opponents have begun to give him
up as a hopeless case.

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 administration
of the defunct confederacy. 1t has been
of great service to our Government in

WASHINGTON, Aug. GA private
letter, dated near Fort Hayes, Kansas,

scourge of the plains this summer, and
it is strange that 1t should ever become
epidemic there, the air being pure and

post lost 2l men by cholera, and thus

ANDY EMPLOYING SPIES.

The fact has come to light that the
President has in his own employ reg
uIarly organized corps of detectives,
paid out of the secret service fund.
These men have been working for the
President in all directions, attempting
to get up evidence that will weigh
against all favoring Impeachment. Be-
sides, they have been active as spies
upon Congress and upon all of known
loyalty in official circles here. The dis
covery of this fact has created great
comment among officers who have be-
come cognizant in the matter.

1t is understood that an order pro-
hibiting Assistant Secretaries from sit
ting in Cabinet meetings was issued to
exclude Buckley, who has been SO
elated by the fact of having seat
among the Presidents advisers as TO
make himself most obnoxious to the
rest of the Cabinet by his othciousness.
Besides, it was believed that he be-
