Changes in the Cabinet.

The rumors of changes in the Cabinet are
assuming definite shape. The Baltimore Amer
leans Washington correspondent says: 'Des-
the press by those high in authority that the
statements published concerning Secretary De-
lauo's requested resignation are malicious, it
can be stated with equal postiveness that
charges of grave character against MIR. John
Delauo and compromising his father have been
lodged With President Grant; also that they
have received an investigation at the hands of
the President and the conclusion reached was
would prove acceptable. Since the fact has
been published that such charges have been
made the President is likely to suspend action
and not press MIR. Delano's retirement at this
time, in order to avert the public scandal which
would attach at the present time to an en-
forced resignation The Cincinnati Gazette
mentions Judge V. B. Horton as the most
probable successor of Mr. Deauo.
Per contra: Both the President and Secre-
tary OF the Interior, Delano, positively deny
that the former has requested the latter to re-
sign or had made any complaints about the ad-
ministration of the affairs of the department.
Mr. Delano states that he had Intended re-
signing last fall, but at the Presidents request
deferred bis resignation, intending to tender it
early this month, but was prevented from
promptly doing so by succession of inoppor-
time circumstances

Our CRY FINANCES II venture to make a
suggestion" to the honorable the City Coun-
Gil which, if carried out, will, it is believed, be
productive of good.
Let the Council call conference Of the
bond holders to meet committee of that
body friendly to the scaling" of the bonded
debt of the town.
| When assembled let these gentlemen be in
formed Of the true condition of the people.
Tell them that to pay the full value (2) of the
bonds will etard the prosperity of the town
for fifty years.
That, Notwithstanding the people came out
of the war financially ruined they have done
their best to meet all demands against them,
and without further, and greater sacrifices.
they can't pay more than fifty cents 10 the
dollar.
That under the circumstances, bond -hoders
ought not to expect one hundred cents tor
what they only paid forty, thirty, in few To-
stances more, and in many instances less.
That, by reason of the war, all other classes
of property were destroyed, or suffered great
loss, and in view Of the fact that most OF the
holders of these bonds have, already, received
in interest sum greater than their origiml
outlay III the purchase Of the bonds, ask them
to consent to scale oil one half the face
value.
Let them be informed that the Council will
see that the interest, on the reduced bonds,
will be promptly met. Tell them that this &C
ton on their part will result in the improved
condition of the streets, 10 the enhancement 10
the value of property, the prosperity Of the
town, and the happiness Of the people
10 this proposition many will consent, and
from different causes; some from motives of
patriotism, some from the force of public opin-
ion, and others because their interests will be
promoted by go doing.
All of these gentlemen know that as 5000 as
this "scallDg' question assumes an active form,
as from present indications, it will, down goes
the bonds, and to prevent this calamity ~
they will accede to what seem 10 be the wishes
Of the community.
koow one gentleman who will consent to
proposition of this sort, and DOT having lost all
faith in human nature, like Gen. Grant, be-
lieve all will agree, il this Suggestion" shall
be put 10 proper form, and carried out in good
faith. Try IT.
