CABINET CHANGES,

According to Forney-and Forney is good
authority-there are 20 be great changes in
the cabinet of President johnson The dead
men who surround the President are TO be
set back, and live men substituted in their
places. The Executive of the nation is about
to call to his aid men who will think aud ne,
with him, and who will assist in maxine the
executive department one of the co ordinate
branches of the government, despite the at.
tempts of the Rump Congress to usurp all
the powers Of the government Let the
change come. The following is a specimen
of Furncys speculations -
There is good authority for the statement
that President johnson announced his deter.
mInaiIon to make a sweeping chunge in :
Cabinet yesterday. HIS remarks ON this sub.
Ject referred particularly to Secretary McCul-
ioch, whose portfolio, 1t is understood will
be rendered to Hon. Erastus Corning. of New
York. This change will of course. comuel
the retirement OF Secretary Seward. for whose
position there are thousand and one arr,Ii.
cauts. Jere. Black aud ex Senator Cowln.
OF pennsylvania, being in the lead. The
name OF Reverdy Johuson has also been men,
toned. 1t Is undoubtedly the intention of
the Administration to reward the Penusyl.
vania Democracy, and he cannot do 1t in a
more satisfactory manner to them THAI by
placing one OF the two first mentI toned gentle.
men In his Cabinet. Secretary STATIONS re.
moval leaves vacancy, which PENNSYLVANIA
will claim, and the result of the election will
undoubtedly be accepted as an endorsement
OF that claim. The Conservatives of the Yves,
are urging General Frank Blair. of Missouri.
and General Tom. Ewing, Sr.. of Ohio. for
the War Office, or ex>Eudian Commissioner
Bogy for the Interior Department. with some
chance oil success for one Of their candidates
but which one it is not safe to predict. Its
known that the New York Democracy. com.
bined with the Jere Black clique. arranged
programme some time since. to which the
President partially agreed of disruption of
the Cabinet after the November elections
which will now be carried out sooner than
was anticipated, as they think there is no
longer any necessity for further DELAY. Aside
from this fact, and the announcement made
by the President above mentioned. po,bino
regarding Cabinet affairs can be asserted nos.
itively.

VOTE DOWN THE CONVENTION.

The Charlottesville C6ronieI1 has again
shifted its position, and now advises the con-
ssrvatives of Virginia to vote down the coD.
ventiOn which is provided for in the recon.
struction measures of the Rump Congress-
The reasons given for this change, are thus
set forth by the editor, who has acted sensi-
bly, in thVs changing 'front.'
Our readers are aware that We have here
toiore accepted the call of State Convention
to frame new State Constitution as lore
gone conclusion. We have therefore depre-
Gated the writing Of newspaper articles urging
the people TO vote down the Convention. ON
the ground that it would not defeat the Con
vent.on, aud might have tie effect of keeping
the Conservative vote away from the polls
We were of the opinion that Convention
was certain, aud that articles against it would
dam9en the conservative feeling, and that
such line of writing might result in radi-
cal Convention.
The astounding revolution at the North
the sudden and unexpected developement of
just and conservative public sentiment IN
that region as evidenced in Pennsy lauia. Ohio
and all OF the recent elections has enlbnld-
ened US to change our opinion, aud We are
now IN favor OF Il united and determined effort
on the 22d of this month to vote down the
proposed Convention. Inspired by the noble
protest of the people oc Ohio and Peuusyiva-
MIA, we think it now possible to rally the con
sentative voters of Virginia to the polls Tor
the purpose OF defeating the Ubiquitous mea-
sures OF the radical politicians
We care nothing If we may De charged
with Inconsistency, provided we can secure
what we believe to he the best interests of
the people of Virginia. We regard the whole
+ face OF American politics as changed by the
emphatic verdict of the Northern cIeerrens :;
aud what was policy yesterday is no longer
demanded by the situation now
We do not know that we have it in our
power to defeat a Convention but We do
know that the whites have majority in the
State OF 5000, and that Convention may
be voted down, if the voters turn ont.

"Ihe defeat Of the Republican party in

ton that We have had to encounter host OF

wrI;e, it is certain that Ohio has refused to

most wicked and dangerous man of modern

Horrors of an Underground Railway.

London Cor. of the N. Y. Tribune
The condition of the underground rail-
way is exciting some attention, not to
say alarm. Two passengers have died
while travelling on the road, and it is
alleged that their deaths we're occa-
stoned, or fastened, by the suffocating
air of the tunnels. The latest inquest
was held yesterday. A young woman,
apparently in good health, entered the
Bishops Road station on Wednesday
evening. On reaching the platform she
said, ut is a very nice station, but very
hot" On getting into one of the car.
riages she said what very dreadful
smell there is here" Those were the
last words she spoke At Kings Cross
she was taken out by her companion In
an apparently lifeess condition. A
physician being sent for, arrived in five
minutes and found her dead. An exam
ination showed that she had died from
restriction of the aortic orifice, but the
physician declined to say whether her
death had been quickened by breathing
an impure atmosphere The Coroner in
this case is the eminent physician, DR..
Lancaster, and at his suggestion the
inquiry was adjourned, in order that the
air of the tunnels may be analysed and
its precise condition ascertained. AT an
inquest held last week surgeon testified
positively that death had been aecele-
rated "by the suffocating air of the un-
dergrouud railway" The statement
produced inquiry, and the inquiry pro-
duced the fact, or the assertion, that sui
phurous and carbureted gases have gone
on accommodating in the tunnels of the
railway till the air had become dangerous
to breathe till the presence of choke
damp, to be followed by fire damp,
threatened at no very distant day ter
rible explosion This account is de-
nounced as sensational, and is probably
exaggerated, but it appears to be certain
that there is a good deal of foul air in
the tunnels
