PoiITICs IN THE CABINET.-A Washington
dispatch has the following gossip concerning
the political status of the Cabinet:
There is a good deal of talk in political cir
cles since the New York nominations were
made, about the position of certain members
Of the cabinet. Every body knows that Gen.
Schotfeld is for Grant and Colfax, and that
Welles and Browning will support Seymour
and Blair. Mr.. McCulloch will certainly not
stand upon the Democratic platform, and most
persons believe that he has no sympathy with
MIR. Seymour politically. He does not mean
to 90 out OF the Cabinet, however until forced
to do so by.a direct assurance from the Presi-
dent that his resignation is desired. There
have been many stories atioat during the last
three or four days to the effect that Messrs
Seward and Randall will support Grant, but
the truth of the report is not yet apparent
Some OF the White House ring talk of getting
up general serenade or devising other means
TO make the doubtful officials show their posi-
ton.

Indians at Miller's. Sunday last party

to the house, and the men were all out at the
time. Mrs. Miller saw the Indians from the
house, ran between them and the cattle and
succeeded in corralling them. But for her

A RATIFICATION MEETING IN RICHMOND
The following account of the proceedings of a
Richmond ratification meeting affords much
food for reflection:
The enthusiasm was grand but entirely
Southern. Gov. Vance spoke at great length,
repeating his New York speech, saying in adj
dition thereto, that however he could talk
more Familiarity of wrongs III the South than
ut the North, his idea was what the confedera-
cy fought Tor would be won by the election of
Seymour and Blair.
He was followed by Gov. Wise, whose great
est expression was that he did not care for the
platform. 1t told lie in its first resolution.
1t said secession was dead. That was not so.
Secession was more alive than ever. He sup
ported the nominees and especially Blair, be-
cause he had declared he would assume militia
ny power. The Gen eral spoke wildly and de-
nounced the aristocracy, the Know Nothings
and all who in former times had opposed the
Democracy. He then frantically seized fed
eral officer by the hand and proclaimed that
the Northern and Southern soldiers We're firm
friends, whereat the house gave boisterous
cheers.
Marmadulze johnson then spoke, declaring
that he would meet the issue on the stump
and defeat the infamous constitution of Vir-
gina.
