New YORK, Feb. l3-ln speaking Of
the Round Tables protested information
about Grants new cabinet, it is an error
to assert that Grant has turned his back
on any division of the Republican party,
or that he has indicated that he
preferred Conservatives to Radicals, or
the opposite. lie stands now Just where
he has stood from the first on the Chi
cag0 platform, and is bound to carry its
principles into effect during his admins
tration If be has displayed any bearin
either way it is rather toward the policy
of the more radical division of his par
", as set forth in the proposed fifteenth
amendment Of the constitution.
The Sun says Grant will not, under
any circumstances, put Adams or Me-
Clellan in his cabinet; that his doing 50
would bring him into rupture with Con-
gress, and is the furthest possible thing
from his thoughts The article is writ
ten by Dana, whose relations with Grant
are supposed TO be confidential, and
therefore, entitled TO credit
Particulars of the accident 10 the
French steamer Paereire, show that
everything OF a movable and breakable
nature was swept away, including upper
cabins, ice houses, BOAT buckets and
benches. Three passengers and a sailor
were killed outright, one sailor and cabin
steward carried away and drowned, and
twenty four persons wounded.
Four deaths from small pox were res
ported in a tenement house in Elizabeth
street yesterday.
a secret naval expedition is being
fitted out by the Fenians in this city.
Its object seems to be the release Of Irish
prisoners in Van Dieman's Land, and
other English penal colonies. A large
number of men have been enlisted.
Heavy sentences Of thieves by our
courts are having their effect. large
police details are necessary when taking
prisoners from courts, as their comrades
gather around by tilties and threaten TO
RELEASE them.
Application has been made TO the
President for permission TO remove the
bodies OF Booth, Harold and Atzerodt,
from their places in the arsenal grounds,
based on the fact that he allowed the re-
moval Of Mrs Surratt.
Several Cuban ladies of New York
have formed a society for raising funds TO
procure ncceSsaries for the hospital SER
vice of the insurgent army in Cuba
Petitions for giving the Cubans bellig-
erent rights are being largely signed by
the friends Of the reyoluiioni5ts. They
say that they can hold out permanently
against the Spanish forces, and caula
take the aggressive if better armed.
It Is intimated that Gen Grant is very
much displessed with the course pursued
by Messrs. Wade and Colfax at the
counting Of the electoral votes, and that
his delay in receiving the committees Of
the two houses Of Congress is for the Pur-
pose OF giving him time to consider the
matter. He Is suspicious Of an effort to
to organize an opposition TO him under
the lead Of Mr.. Cuilax, which will en-
barTa"s his administration and destroy
his chances for re- election in 1872. and
srevislon Of his Cabinet, leaving out Mr..
Wade, Is regarded as certain. The con
servatl'e Republicans Of this city, who
have been greatly Disconnected by Grants
Radical leanings, denounce Butler and
sustain COlIax.
