the latest phase respecting the composition Of
Gen. Grants Cabinet. The dispatch is dated
Monday evening
" Alta late hour last night Speaker Blaine
called on the President and inquired whether he
proposed appointing Gov. Boutwell, to any place
in the Cabinet in the case some contingency might
arise Mr., Blaine said his reason for asking was,
that he was arranging the Committees of the
House, and if anything was TO happen whereby
Mr.. Boutwell, would be taken out of the House.
it would seriously derange the Committees unless
he knew in advance. lie had been informed that
in case Secretary Stewart resigned, Gov Bout
well would probably go into the Treasury.
The President replied that Mr.. Blaine as Speak
er OF the House, and under the circumstances,
had right to know. lie would therefore be
Trunk and say to him that Mr. Stewart had CON
cluded 10 resign that the Massachusetts deega-
uon would withdraw Judge loar at the latter's
request and he would appoint Gov. Boutwell, as
Secretary Of the Treasury"

The Cry for Holm.

The Boston JorHai-which lately accused the
farmers Of Vermont Of selfshly opposing rec-
procity treaty with Canada--contains the follow
ing letter from an influential Boston gentleman,
addressed to the Hon. JosErm HOWE, of Nova
Scotia. 1t must be refreshing to the benevolent
soul of the Journal editor, after having been sore
ly vexed by the mercenary seishness of our Yer
mont agrcultursts, to be able to put forth to the
world this striking evidence of disinterested ana
benevolent desire on the part of the Boston mer-
chants "who trade with the Provinces" We
trust this Macedonian cry will be responded to at
an early day, that we may all be informed of the
benefits Of good reciprocity treaty." and
especially that we may witness the spontaneous
popular demonstration that shall be gotten up By
all this machinery.

in making the selections he did for his cabinet, is

prohibits persons in trade from holding the Office
Of Secretary of the Treasury.

The Burglars NegotIating for the re
turn OF their Plumber

Among the sacurities taken by the burglars
and not yet recovered are $50 600 in bonds or
the Portage Lake aneT AXE Superior Ship Canal
Company. These bonds are secured bv a lien
upon 800 600 acres Of choio, mineral lands on
the upper peninsula Of MIchie,n. and are in ali
respects first class security. a sact which the
enterprlsing burglars seem fally to anprec,ate.
A short time ago the president of o.e bank'
Mr. D. II. Martin, received q commun cation
from the present holders Of these boaas
transmitted IN mysterious manner, aslnTls
what would be given for the return OF the
bonds. The president returned an answer tina t
he would give $4,000 for them. To this he ha 8
received reply, couched IN the most busine esq
like terms, in which the burglars or their
agents express their surprise at the estimate
the bank puts upon these particular securities.
The writer says the discouDt proposed is al

THE GCUMENICAL COUNCIL.
Proposition to Unite the Greek amd
Catholic Churches.

It is currently reported in Catholic circles,
says the New York Sun, that proposition is to
be made before the coming G ,umenical coun-
Gil to unite the Greek and Catholic Churches,
on the ground that they are one in doctrine,
and that their disciplinary differences can be
reconciled by means OF mutual concessions.
1t is we'll known among theologians that the
principal obstacles to the union OF these
churches were in relation to the tilioq4e in the
creed or the procession Of the Holy Spirit from
the first and second Persons Of the Blessed
Trinity and to the supremacy Of the Pope; bat
in all else, the two churches are one in doc
trine and usages. Cardinal will publish the
distinctive peculiariies 'ofttbe Greek Church
before the Council. Should this union be
effected, Catholicity will suddenly receive an
accession OF sixty millions OF converts.

HEAVY EXPRESS ROBBERY.

The Augusta Chronicle brings us the parti-
culars OF 9 heavy robbery, which occurred in
Georgia few days ago, and OF which the
Southern Express Company has been the vic

considerable, the thieves getting four thous-
and nine hundred doars in currency. The
facts Of the case are as follows:
