WASHINGTON, Friday oct. II, 1867
At the Cabinet meeting to-day all the members
were present excepting Seward and Randall, who
are still in NewYork. 1t was intimated in official
circles that the President would give to his Cabinet
his ideas about change in the Administration, if
he entertained any. There was o good deal of curl

nothing but the mere routine business took place.
Politicians here are beginning to announce that no
immediate changes will take place in the Cabinet

purposes of Mr.. Johnson, who are continually con-
cocting new organizations of the Cabinet and send

have been authorized by the President These un-
founded assertions keep financial men in feverish
solictude, and gold spectators constantly on the

The intention of the Presidents friends in giving

the former for nsubOrdinatiOn.
There have been very few arrivals of Democratic
politicians from Ohio and Pennsylvania A large in
Aux was anticipated but they are yet to arrive 1t
was expected that they would be here to make great
demands of his Excellency. But the President has
had experience aud understands human nature bet
ter than he did year ago. and beside he has no
Offices now at his command with which to feed the
hungry the Civil Tenure Of Office bill having tied
his hands The excitement is commencing to die off,
and the only persons who feel at all nervous are those
clerks in departments who are known TO be Rcpub-
