| WARRINGTON, July 25-The rumoret
Cabinet changes, by which Attorney Gen
etal Williams would be sent TO the Rus
sian Court, General Bristow made Attor-
ney General, and ex.9ecretsrV McCulloch
be put at the head OF the Treasury De-
partment have attracted but little atten-
ton and discusSion here. Bristow has
slgni6ed his willingness 10 make The
change. It 10 well known that Williams
has been anxious, for some time, for q
transfer to other duty, which would take
him out OF the country, while he would
not be lowered in official rank. There Is
no doubt but that the terrible ordeal
through which Mrs. Williams passed
when her husbands nomination TO be
Chief Justice was pending, left her health
all shattered, and change Of this sort
seems about tbe only hope Of saving her
lie. II is doubtful whether Grant would
call McCulloch 10 the Treasury, princi-
pally Tor tho reason that in Andy john
sons time McOulloch was q pronounced
anti.Grant man. McCulloch Is also un-
derstood TO be involved in his London
bank business to such an extent as would
make II impossible for him 10 leave II for
the Cabinet position. Secretary Bristow
10 expected back Monday morning.

TERRITORIAL GovERNoRs' POWER OF RE-
MovAL.
Upon the question submitted by Cover.
nor McCook, whether, as Governor of
Colorado, be possessed power to remove
or suspend Territorial officers for cause
or under any circumstances, Acting At
torney General Phillips has decided that
the Governor Of Territory can remove
only such officers as have been duly ap-
pointed BY the Governor TO hold at pleas.
ure. BE has no power to remove officers
appointed during pleasure by others, un-
less the organic law, or, in some cases at
least, the Territorial law expressly au.
thorizes him.
OF A ADANGERoUs COUNTERPART
having appeared on the five dollar notes
OF the Traders National Bank of Chicago,
the Treasury Department offers one.hali
per cent premium for the return OF the
genuine five dollar notes of that bank to
the department for destruction. The notes
should be shipped separately, and may be
included in packages Of National Bank |
notes returned to the Treasury for re.
demption, and may be returned at the ex.
pense OF the department. All genuine
tlve.dollar notes OF this bank should here. |
after be refused, and the notes Of that de. |
nomination thus driven out OF circulation. |
No more Of these notes will be issued |
hereafter by the Comptroller OF the Cur
rency to that bank. The attention Of
bank officers is especially called to the
necessity ofpromptly retiring these notes,
which will entirely prevent the circula.
tion OF the counterfeit.
