Col. REYNOLDS and several companies OF cavalry

MRS. DUFFULs'S REVIVAL.
A Negro WOmnn's Meetings In West Thirtieth
Street-Perer Dwyer Helping.

Yesterday was begun, at 100 West
Thirtieth street. what Mrs E. Duffuls, the con-
ductor, calls a camp meeting. 1t was announced
that "a trumpet would be sounded at 4 o'clock
every morning to summon people to the early
meeting. This part OF the programme, however,
was omitted. In all other respects Mrs. Duffuls
says she means TO carry on the meetings as much
after the Lorenzo Dow fashion az possible. At
10 o'clock there was a prayer meeting at 2
o'clock preaching, and at half-pasJ o'clock ex-
hOrtattoD. In the evening Peter Dwyer, the re-
Vivast, occupied the platform, with i've OF his
converts. The room will hold 400 persons, but
only about 100 were present. IhTeequartera Of

THE HARMONIOUS CABINET.
Que Member Calling Another n Liar-The
President and secretary Bristow.

WASHINGTON, Feb. FIT is n custom
among high ofiicials when their secrets made
public to have the force of the revelation broken
by denial on the highest authority. Such
denials are furnished the Associated Press,
which accepts them upon the highest authority,
aud would thus lead the public generally to be-
lieve that the recent reports Of differences in tho
Cabinet, fully explained In THE Sun, were In
ventlons and not facts. This much to explain
what follows. There is at the present time and
there has existed for several weeks differences
between three members OF the Cabinet which
has limited their intercourse to business mat
tiers only. They are courteous, as gentlemen
usually are in such high positions, but that thcy
cordially hate each other Is known from their
own confessions.
Nor are these differences alone existing among
the mem bers OF the Cabinet. Between the
President and Secretary Bristow the relations
are similar to those which existed between j.
ID. Cox. Secretary OF the Interior, aud the Presi-
dent in 1870 and which resulted, after nearly sx
months controversy, in the President requesting
MIR. Cox's resignation. To be moro explicit, II
members OF the Cabinet insist In imposing upon
the people statements that the utmost harmony
does exist, there can be made known the fact
that Is Of recent date, that one member called
another member a liar, and did SO having the
proof In his possession. The time, place, the
persons present, and the occasion OF this hsr-
| monious ejaculation can be gwen in detail.
