Special dispatch to The Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 25.-The rumored
Cabinet changes by which Attorney-Genera]
Williams would be sent to the Russian Court,
Gen. Eristo@ made Attorney General, and e1-
Secretary McCulloch be put at tho head OF
the Treasury Department, have attracted but
little attention aud discussion here R1istow
has sjgnihed his willingness to make the
change. It Is well known that Williams has
been anxious for sonlo time for 8 transfer to
other duty, which would take him out OF tho
country, while he would bo lowered in official
rank. There lB no doubt but that tho terrible
ordeal through which Mrs. Williams passed when
her husbands nomination to be Chlef-Justice
was pending, left her health all shattered, and g
change OF this sort eecus about the only hope
of eaSing her life. 1t il doubted whether Grant
would call McCullocil to tho Treasury, princi-
pally for the 1eason that in Andy Johnsou'a
time Mcculloch was pronounced anti-Grant
man. ilcCulloch il also understood to be IL
volved III his Lou0on bank business to such au
extent as would make it impossible for him to
leave for the Cabinet position.
THE POWER OF REMOVAL POSSESSED BIZ TERRI
ToR1AL GOVERNORS,
WASHINGTON. July 25.-Upou tho question
submitted by Gov. AcCook whether, AZ Gov
ernor Of Colorado, ho possessed the power to
remove or suspend Territorial officers for CAUSE,
Or under any circumstances, Acting Atty.-Gcn.
Phillips has decided that the Governor OF q Ter
rilory eau remove only such officers as have been
duly appointed by the Governor to bold at
pleasure. He has 10 power to remove officers
appointed during pleasure by Others. unless the
organic law, or, III some at least ths Terri
torlal Law, expressly authorize him.
A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT
having appeared on the IS notes Of tho Traders
National Bank Of Chicago, the Treasury Depart
ment offers one-half per cent premium for the
return Of the genuine IS notes OF that bank to
the department for destruction. The notes
should be strapped separately, and may DO in
cluded Ii packages Of National Bank notes re-
turned to tue Treasury for redemption, and may
10 returned ct tho expense Of the Department..
All tho genuine IS notes OF this bank should
hereafter DO refused, aud the notes Of that de-
nolnlnatlon thus dEi-en out of circulation. No
moro OF their notes will be issued hereafter py
tho Comptroller Of The Currency. The attcn-
ton OF bank officers is especially called to tie
necessity Of promptly rc:urniuE these notes,
Which will entirely prevent the circulation OF the
counterfeit.
