WASHINGTON, August 2S.-The Ma
tionai lntelligencer says, we have high
authority for saying that the loose
and sensational rumors that were circulated
last evening about trouble in the Cabinet
yesterday was unfounded.
1t appears from North Carolina papers
that the registration thus far in that State
shows two blacks registered to one white.
and in some districts a much larger pro-
portion.
Gen. Sickles has caused a circula. TO be
addressed TO the boards Of registration, in
forming them that the officers of the mill
tia, upon whom devolves the execution of
patrol laws, or other general laws relating
TO the domestic order of the State and gov
eminent of the slaves therein. having
thereby assumed and performed the civil
functions, are deemed civil officers within
the meaning of the acts of Congress. and
any such officers having afterwards taken
position rebellious, or aided or abetted
persons engaged IN rebellion, is excluded
from the registration as a voter.
Secretary Browning attended the Cabi-
net meeting yesterday, but this premature
attention to business has again compelled
him to keep his bed
There is no foundation for the reports of
breach between the President and the
general government. The reconstruction
acts will be enforced with strict impartiali-
ty, and politicians are not to be permitted
to use the United States military force to
carry partisan ends, and work ssreconstruc-
ton. In these objects is perfect agreement
between the President, Gen. Grant, and all
members of the Cabinet.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY, ADJUTANT GEN
ERALS OFFICE, Washington, Aug. q, 1867.
General Orders No. 80.-1st. In pursu-
ance of orders from the President of the
United States, Brevet Major General Candy
will, on receipt of the order turn over his
present command to the officer next ia
rank to himself, and proceed to Charleston,
5. c., to relieve Maj. Gen. Sickles of the
command of the second military district.
I'd. Mai. Gen. Sickles will, on being
relieved, repair to New York city and
report by letter to the Adjutant General.
By command of General Grant.
E. d. TOWNSEND, Adj. Gen.
1t was expected that the order directing
Gen. Hancock to proceed Immediately to
New Orleans and relieve Gen. P H. Sheri-
dan, as commander of the fifth military
district, would be issued this morning, but
up to 8 o'clock it had not been promulga-
ted. The order will be issued tomorrow.
and will direct Hancock to proceed imme-
diately and relieve Sheridan, and take
command of the district during the illness
of Gen. Thomas, and upon the recovery
of that officer, the original order, No. II,
assigning him to the command of the fifth
milittay district, will be enforced
There is no Cabinet rumors to-day, and
no prospects of the immediate retirement
of any of the members. The relations of
all of them with the President continue
agreeable
1t seems settled that Secretary Nc.
Culloch will continue in Office for financial
if no Other reasons, as has been repre-
sented by gentleman of different politics.
That his resignation would disastrously
effect our public securities both at home
and abroad.
CorroboratiVe evidence is furnished TO-
day, that Gen. Grant yesterday sent TO
the President a decided firm letter against
the removal of Gen. Sheridan and
Gen. Siekles. The difference were known
to be so wide between the President
and Gen. Grant, that prominent gentlemen
supposed them irrec0ncilible, and that the
retirement of the General from the War
department was inevitable, but this after
noon Gen. Grant and the President had an
interview at the Executive mansion, which
resulted in the adjustment of the trouble,
and the withdrawal by Gen. Grant of his
letter to the President.
