THE CABINET.
The Rumored ReconstructIou.

A Washington correspondent writes:-
There is emphatic authority to say that the
President entertains no idea whatever at present
of making any change in his Cabinet. Secretary
Fish has not asked to be relieved from his posi-
tion as Secretary, nor does the President desire
that he shall do so. Concerning the French
embassy the President says that Minister Wash
burne never stood higher in his estimation than
he does to- day; that he considers Mr.. Washburne
a decided success as Minister at Paris; that he
has exceeded his most sanguine expectations,
and that should he ever ask to be relieved, his
request would be granted only on the ground OF
failing health, with which the Minister is now
affected
1t must be understood that while the Presl-
dent is satisfied with his Cabinet, he cannot
answer for the intentions of the members. Secre-
tary Fish informed your correspondent some
time since that he did not, when accepting his
Office, intend to remain during the whole ad-
ministration of President Grant. 1t seems to
be understood that he will resign early in March
though it cannot be stated confidently that such
is his intention,

CONJUGAL TRIALS.
Two MARRIAGES and Three Divorce Suits Be-
tween the same Parties.

Two MARRIAGES ana Fhreo Divorce Suits Be-
tween the Same Parties.
The Louisville Chancery Court can boast of
laurels in the way of divorce suits before which
even renowned Chicago may lower her plumes.
The Chancellor yesterday returned the papers
of one with the simple Endorsement dismissed"
whereby hang several very well-developed tales.
1t Is the third of a series, all brought by the
same fair plaintiff against the same incorrigible
defendant.
NJ. L. H was sweet sixteen, when, in 1860,
she first felt 'the need of protector during the
journey through life," and listened to the soft
purse" as she herself expressed it, but then he
was young and handsome. Hence, there was
soon the sound of marriage bells, and all went
merry till poverty came in the cottage door aud
Cupid began his flight from the window. "He
only bought me one calico dress during the
whole time, and he didn't pay for that" was
sad sequel to the nuptial pledge, with all my
goods thee endow." SO, followed by the ghosts
of scanty wardrobes and unpaid board bills, Ed
ward bade farewell to his Eloise and carpet
bagged it to California.
These were grounds enough for divorce, and
on the goth February, 1868, the Chancellor gave
her back her heart again." with her costs sin
that behalf expended"
On the 25th of March, 1868, the long absent
Enoch Arden had returned to Louisville, taken
out fresh license, and again entered into "the
gall of bitterness and the bonds of lniquity"
with the object of his first and early love.
And then began the most extended bridal tour
ever recorded. The defendant, as 1t was after
wards asserted in divorce suit No. 2. took me
to California, where we remained one year;
thence to Nevada Territory for six MONTHS" in
which strange land the truant husband left his
doubly-wedded wife, and struck out for New
Mexico, she through the assistance Of friends
in Louisville, returning here again to seek a
dissolution OF the chains in which she had SO
unfortunately been second time entrapped.
In this suit she was not SO successful. 1t is SO
hard TO loosen cords which have been twice tied
that we doubt if anything short of Chicago
Chancellor can ever undo the knot. Edward
returned in time to protest against another dis
solution of the bonds, and putting on file seve-
raj letters, of which the following is sample,
established so clearly in the eyes of justice that
the plaintiff did not consider herself ''aban-
doned," as alleged, as to defeat the suit
MY DARLING EDwARD:-I do wish we were living
together in nice little home of own; don't you
think we would be happy? l expect to see the day
when we will live as comfortably as any OF them.

Asa Janneys
The Loudoun (Va.) Standard says:-
Samuel M. and Asa M. Janney, who are now
occupying onerous and responsible positions
under the Government as Indian agents, con-
template in a shert time resigning the same,
their health no longer permitting them to en-
dure the trials and hardships incidentito a life
among the Indians Considering their advanced
ages and naturally delicate health, it has been a
matter of surprise that they have thus far en-
dured the we'll known border hardships. That
they have we'll and faithfully discharged their
duties is fact too we'll known to the country
to need comment. Their policy has been the
means of saving millions to the Government,
and il rigidly carried out in the futurel will
prevent a repetition OF hostlites by the In
diane.
