The CABINET. Washington
correspondent of the New York He
raid writes:
"Gen. Grant has had private
consultation with the President, in
which he urged the dismissal of
every member of tho Cabinet, in
order to create harmony between
Mr.. johnson and his advisers. The
General is known to be particularly
hostile to Mr.. Seward, whom he re-
CARDS rs too adroit and dangerous to
be trusted. He also fears that if the
Secretary of State is retained, he
will form political combinations in
Congress, through the agency of
Wade, to defeat any programme
which may be adopted to restore fra
ternal relations between the North
and South. It is deemed probable
that, should the General hold Office,
he will endeavor to have Sherman
appointed to place in the Cabinet. "

DIR. Rogers, in his new book con-
corning Scotland, tells n story of Ro-
bert Burns. never before published:
"Burns, at public entertainment,
was seated opposite foppish young
nobleman, who, to evince his con-
tempt for one whom ho regarded as
literary upstart, filliped some of his
wine in the direction of the young
poet. 'Wc do much better in our
country, said the bard, as he raised
his glass and threw the entire con-
tents i'll the face of the aggrcssor.
Tho Scottish bard did not, fortu-
nately, live in an unreconstructed
State, modernly called a military
district" There were no "Fort Ma
cons" in Scotland at that time.

colored, 90. The number of voters
registered for the week at the upper
box is, whites, 341; colored, AS.

In making the above report, we
feel it our duty to compliment the
Board of Registers for the perfect
order which has prevailed around the

gle instance of disorder will have to

souTHERN RInRoADs.-The report
of the Special Committee of the

SOUTHERN RAILRoADs.-The report
of the Special Committee of the
House of Representatives of Con-
gress, appointed to investigate the
surrender of the Southern railroads
at the close of the war, has been pub
lished. It is a carefully drawn mp
document, and contains much inte-
resting information concerning tho
use, working and benefit of these
roads to the Government, as well as
the manner in which the roads were
surrendered to the original owners.
Secretary Stanton was examined, and
his opinion on the subject being
asked, he gave it as follows:
My opinion is now, that, although
the course pursued has not been fol-
lowed by all the good results that
were anticipated, yet the measure was
wise and judicious, and the best
course that could have been taken by
the Government, with the facts that
were then before them, and even with
the facts that are now before them.
I think good has resulted in opening
these channels of commerce, in get
ting from the rebel States their pro-
ductions, and in furnishing them with
supplies, without which, there is rea-
son to believe, there would have been
starvation to a deplorable extent.
And, regarded as q pecuniary ques-
ton, if it could be estimated, I think
that the benefit far exceeds the mo-
ney value of the roads and property
turned over; and even with the expe-
rience and the disappointment of an
ticipated hopes as to the speedy re-
storation of peace that now exist, I
would not, as at present advised, be
prepared to recommend any other or
different measure.A

IMPORTING COOLIES. New

York Tribune, of Tuesday, says:
We have received the card of n
New Orleans firm. offering to supply
planters and others with likely young
experienced Coolie laborers, who
have served out an apprenticeship in
Cuba, and to deliver the chattels in
New Orleans in prime order and con-
dition, and on -short notice, at $50
n head. The coolie traffic is forbid
den by Act of Congress-; but the Pre-
sident seems to have resolved that
the Louisiana planters shall do just
as they please in everything, and it
would hardly surprise us much to
hear that they purposed restoring
pure and undisguised slavery, now
that Sheridan is out of their way.

COLUMBIA
Friday Morning. August IS. 1857.
Foreign Capital.

The capitalists Of Europe have
abundance of money! which they
cannot employ or invest profitably;
yet they shrink from hazardipg it,
not only in the Southern States, un-
reconstructed as they are. but even
in the ''loyal" State of Tennessee.
One of the Nashville papers says
that Mr.. McHaffee, of London, who
was sent last winter as the agent of
the English capitalists, to report
upon the question of investments in
the South, made tour of observa-
tion throughout the Southern States,
and went as far as Houston, Texas,
and on his return to Europe, made
such a favorable report that the
parties agreed to advance s1, 900, 900,
or about 100000 in currency, to
be loaned in Tennessee. The agent,
in his report, said that whatever
might happen in the other Southern
States, Tennessee was reconstructed,
and investments in that State would
be safe.-
But mark the effect of political
matters. A gentleman was selected
by the capitalists to proceed to New
York to perfect the arrangements
referred to; but before he sailed, the
news reached England that Governor
Brownlow had called out the militia;
whereupon the capitalists called
meeting, which decided to detain
their agent for further advices.
Immediately on the heels of this
intelligence. the news reached Eng
land that the military reconstruction
bills had passed Congress, and that
Stevens confscation bill had been
made the order of the day for the
second Tuesday in December next;
when another meeting was called,
and it was decided that it was not
safe to put their funds under martial
law, on security threatened with con-
fiscation.
II anything could illustrate the
baleful effect Of the mcdness that
rules the hour in political Ii alters in
this country, it is the statement made
by this agent and the justifable
reticence of the capitalists of Lon
don. For party purposes, the South
is thus deprived of tho means of re-
pairing her damaged fortunes and
rebuilding her waste places. But, as
any observant man, either North or
South, must know, it is not alone
the latter section which suffers from
our unhappy political situation. The
whole country, from Wall street to
New Orleans, feels the direful effects
OF this unwarranted partizan inter
ference with the best interests Of the
people. Until Congressman and those
in power come to the rational conclu-
sion that the good of the country is
far above party politics, we OF the
South may look for no amelioration,
or aid, or relief, from any quarter.

THE GENITAL SYsTEM.-By resolu-
ton of the Chicago Board of Trade
which has been seconded by the boards
of the leading cities, the Genital System
of weights will be adopted on and after
tho first of March next. Grains, seeds
and in fact everything which is now
sold by the bushel, will then be sold
and bought by the hundred pounds
This will remedy one of the very per
picking incidents of trade. Owing to
the want of uniformity in the laws OF
the States as to what number of pounds
constitute bushel, the quotations Of
produce in one city are frequently un'
ineligible to many in other parts OF
the country.
The advantages of the new system are
so obvious as scarcely to need comment.
We understand the Chamber of Com
MERGE in this city will recommend the
adoption Of the new system here, and
our merchants will doubtless see that
it is carried out in the practical opera
tons of trade.
