The New York Sun editorislly says:
The Cabinet is to he reconstructed at
reasonably early day. That is certain.
Beyond that all that can now be re-
garded as determined upon is the fol-
lowing: Fish will leave the State De-
partmeut and succeed Motley as Minis
ter to England; Hoar will resign his
place as Attorney General; Mr.. Fish
will not be succeeded by General b. r.
Butler. President Grant has never had
the slightest intention of inviting Cen
eral RutIer into his Cabinet. Reports
TO the contrary, so industriously cir
culated, do not merit the least credence.
There ia not and can't be any cordiality
of feeling between the two men, and
their relations are not likely to become
more intimate than now.
Advices received yesterday from

unteer party which left that place In

ders, came across band Of them in
Wind river valley on the 9TH, and killed
eleven, including Black Bear, chief OF
the Arapahoes. On going further north
the Indians, principally Sioux and
Arapahoes, were found to be numerous.
In such strong places it was useless 20
attack them, and the citizens returned.
No whites were injured. A detachment
of the Second Cavalry arrived at South
Pass on Wednesday morning, and sew
eral companies of the Fourth Infantry,
Colonel Bartlett in command, have also
passed, en- route to Wind river valley to
garrison Camp Augur.
Il was stated Wednesday evening that
some 500 men belonging to the Fenian
organization had left New York city for

TWENTY-FIVE to thirty to prevent rising
suspicion. Each squad is in charge OF
subordipate officers, but superior ofhcers
ara in charge of the expedition, trav-
cling in cog. with them. Arms, smmu'
milton and provisions were taken along
with them in the shape of baggage. IL
il said that ether bands are before ana
more will follow at once. The place OF
rendezvous is kept secret, but Is sup
possd to be west of Buffalo. 1t is
thought that as many OF the men seemeo
to be sailors that an expedition is form
ing for the purpose of entering Canada
by crossing the lake, and that blow
will be struck aud stand made In 9
quarter where it is least expected II
is certain that there is some Fenlsn
movement oni foot, and emphatic de-
mails of the statements to that effect are
Only for the purpose of lulling suspicion
and diverting the attention Of the au
thOrities. rIa E.-z1
