THE BRITISH CABINET TRoUBLK.-A Lon
don dispatch of Saturday says the conflict be-
tween the ministry and the throne is more
pointed and determined than ever before. The
cabinet council of Friday surpassed in excite
ment and antagonstic manifestations any
thing ever reported in the history of the Brit
ish cabinet Gladstone was most violently
condemned for writing letters to newspapers
on SO momentous question as the present
complications of England and Russia, without
previously consulting his colleagues. His de-
tense did not satisfy the cabinet, and he showed
his usual haughtiness. Granville was sum-
moned to Windsor by the Queen, who ex-
pressed the determination not to allow war
under any circumstances. She left Granville
no alternative but to resign his position. He
will not resign, however without making, an
views by the cabinet, but the peace party,
backed by Queen Victoria, will undoubtedly
be triumphant. Parliament, by new law,
can be convened in seven days, and will proba-
bly, meet next week, thus giving the represent
tatives of the people chance to decide on war

A Miss FEJERRARY of Davenport, Iowa,
did not see fit to have her good character for
chastity whispered and gabbled away by scan
dial mongers. So she selected one Mr.. Rem
nick, who was among the takers, and gave
him an opportunity of proving lin conrt the
truth of his title, tattle. Unfortunately for
Mr.. Rennick, when he begau to look about
him for evidence to justify his statement, and
especially his averment that the plaintiff
maintained criminal relations with her ia
theirs coachman, he couldn't find a scintiIla of
evidence which would do him any good with
the jury-tLe surmises of chatterboxes in
petticoats and pantaloons not being kind of
evidence upon which the law looks smilingly.
Being in tight place, Mr.. Rennick defer
mined to get out OF the difficulty as well as
he could by eating humble pie in any quantity.
So he instructed his attorney to say that the
report was malicious and slanderous, without
the slightest cause, excuse or pretext," and a
"great wrong and injury to the plaintiff" He
left it to the court to say in what damages he
should be mulcted. But the lady Through
her lawyer said that she didn't want his
money-she merely wished legally to estab-
lish the fact of the SANDER. So Mr.. Rennick
got off with payment of costs, aud will prob
ably bride his tongue a little more carefully

The MURDER OF CHirF EnGIsEEp KEL.
LoGG.-t Washiaoton correspondent fur
dishes a New York paper with some facts
which cast light on the recent murder of
Chief Engineer Kellogg by Surgeon King at
New Orleans:
CHIEF Engineer Kellogg, the officer who
met his death Id so tragic manner, was well
known as a most quarrelsome man ,and very
irritable and disaoreeable messmate. His as
sistant, DR.. King, is a pompous, overbearing
and clustering officer, ard at times particu-
larly insulting. He always carried Der
ringer pistol, and frequently displayed it in
most offensive manner. Both.gentlemen pos
sessed unfortunate habits. and when in their
cups were exceedingly disagleeable compan-
ions. The opinion here is that quarrel over
some trifing matter resulted in Kellogg's
slapplng the Doctors face, who in return
drew his Delrnger and fired. Kellogg is said
to have died almost instantly. As the affray
took place on shore the Doctor was at once
| arrested by the civil authorities, and held to
await the action of the grand jury. The
offence OF murder not coming within the cat
esory of military crimes in times of peace,
| the naval authorities will have nothing to do
with the matter beyond dismissing DR.. King
as soon as he shall have been convicted in a
civil court. Capt. Clarys dispatch says that
an inquest was held on the body of Mr.. Kel-
loeg, and that the jury rendered a verdict OF
manslaughter in the second degree. In the
absence of further particulars this would in
dictate that great provocation had been offered
for the deed. Of the two men, Kellogg seems
to have been the most liked in the service
therefore, sympathy here is entirely with him
and much sorrow is expressed at his tragic
end. Both officers were attached to the mon
| itor Terror.

A REMARKABLE RAILWAY ACCIDENT
Not many days ago train on the Ohio and
Mississippi railroad had a remarkable escape.
When crossing the Louisville bridge over the
Ohio River the engine was thrown from the
track by broken rail. Yet, although five
feet of rail were out of place, all the rest of
the train leaped the break and struck the rail
on the other side in safety. When the engine
left the track, the engineer and fireman shut
off steam and climbed out on the boiler, in or
der, as they said, "to be on top, whichever
way she jumped and left the rest to fate
Will she keep the bridge or will she plunge
80 feet to the dark water below just covered
with thin coating of ice? A guard rail runs
along connecting the ends of the sleepers, and
made of square timber. The edge of this
just catches the hange of the front truck
wheel and they are saved. The rait of wood
acts for the short distance as a rail of iron,
and conducts the engine over the chasm.
Two inches more to the left and nothing could
have saved them. Just beyond the bridge
the engine left the sleepers, and tearing away
the track in all directions, plunged down the
bank to the lett, but so slowly that the entire
train, except the express car, remained on the
track. The driver and fireman Jumped off
uninjured, and one man scratched in the bag
gage-car was the only casualty.

THE FREE TRADE MEETING-The sign
ers of the invitation given to Gen. Brinken-
hofP Of Ohio to deliver a lecture on free trade
in this city are not engaged i'll any political
movement as the most casual inspection of
their names will show. Citizens. of both par
ties who believe that the time has come for
such a modification of the tariff as shall make
it have regard primarily to revenue, and to
protection only incidentally, are disposed to
agitate the question which is now outside of
like this such men must be very numerous
and must constitute a wealthy, intelligent and
influential class of citizens. Gen. Butler has
told us very clearly and very oracularly, as if
it were new discovery and a very startling
one, that both parties are divided on this
question. 1t is very true, and gentlemen OF
both parties take the liberty of holding every
variety Of opinion as they do on the subject
of the origin of the Gulf Stream. There is at
present. no test of political orthodoxy to be
found in any phrase of the tariff question, and
the names signed to Gen. BrnkerhofFs inv-
tation are sufficient guaranty that their
owners are not engaged in the pursuit of any
jack O lantern revenue reform through new
political combinations. 1t is only very few
of the lightest political weights in the coun-
try, among whom there is not to be found one
prominent man, who have dreamed of build
ing new parties and new political fortunes on
the tariff question.

Aldermen in the field at its approaching mu-

The announcement made from Washington
that both Mr.. Frelinehuysen and Secretary

New jersey Senatorship, seems to simplify
very much the contest in that State.
The Illinois State Journal says that the
project started by the Chicago Tribune to Or
ganize new party, does not "pan out" as
ricaly as that sheet anticipated. 1t seemed to
be sa1guine that the entire Democratic party
would come into the arrangement, and ask no
questions. This has not proved to be the
case. The Democracy hestated everywhere

ed assertion that LIE is engaged in the conspir-
acy against the Republican party in the for
