question was however, the principal subject Of dis
cussiOn, and the differences of opinion so
fully described in dispatches to The TRIBUNE
last night were found still to exist Friends of Gen.
Grant are reporting tonight that despite those DIS
agreements there will be rupture in the Cabinet,
and that while portion of his constitutional adj
vsers fail TO support him. it will not prevent their
remaining in their present positions 1t is well
known that leading Republicans have
been earnestly labOring with those mem

thought may in case President Grant persists in his
present policy resign and urging them for the good
of the party not take step til t viii be sure to
bring ruin upon upon the political organization,
and it is possible that governed by
those considerations the anticipated resigna-

At the same time the friends of Mr. Fish very
positive that he will remain at the head of the

which did not deceive the people then,
are expected to turn the great tide of public
