The Changes I'm the Cabinet---Grant
Stirring lin Storm

Stirring UP Storm.
Especial telegram to the DispatclLI
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE resignation
OF Postmaster-General Jewell, at the re-
quest Of the President, creates a great sem
sation, and is the leading topic OF discus
sion in all public places tonight. Grant
has not vouchsafed either to Mr.. Jewell or
bis friends the motives that induced him to
make this request, but it is believed that
Senator Morton considered it necessary for
the welfare Of the Republican party in In
diana that politician from that State should
be appointed to a Cabinet position. One
report says that Senator. Spencer has also
been favored in the change that has
been made. Friends of Jewell say that
the demand is an insult to compe-
tent and unoffending official, and will
have bad effect on the party
throughout the country. The removal, for
such it is, was the most summary act Of the
character that the Administration has per-
formed, and naturally makes New England
Republicans feel very sore. Jewell was re-
garded, since Bristow resigned, as the only
representative of reform in the Cabinet.
Pratt, who was another staunch friend Of
Bristow, has also been asked to step down
and out, and will retire on the 1st Of Au-
gust next. Other changes are intimated as
likely to occur in few days, some of which
will be of officials in different parts of the
country.
First Assistant Postmaster-Gen Mar
shall will probably be removed and a west
ern politician appointed in his place, with a
view to the patronage Of the Department in
the States of Ohio and Indiana being used
to carry those States at the October election,
success ut that time in those States being
considered of vital Importance in its bear
ing on the general election in November.

The People Securing the Country for
the Murdcrers.
| Especial telegram to the Dispatch.]
ALEXANDRIA, VA, July 11.-Persons who
arrived here to-day from Glymont report
that the store OF Mr.. Warning, about three
miles from the Glymont wharf, was robbed
and the clerk, William Everett, brutally
murdered last night. The mhrderers are AZ
yet unknown. The people of the neighbor
hood are in the most intense excitement, ant
hence turned out en- ndsse, and are securing
the country in every direction for them; an(
should they be found it is feared they will bt
lynched. 1t is supposed that the murdererS
are two negro men, both. large, but ont
larger than the other, jet black, well dressed
apparently unused for some time at least tt
hard labor, who landed at Glymont yester
day from the steamer Harry Loder and in
quired for Mr.. Chapman's farm, saying they
there, however, but went to Mr. Warnings
store, where they bought cheese and crack
ers. While lounging about there they made
inquiries Of the negroes they saw concern
ing the store, its business, and the habits Of
| the clerk.
| The murder was. not discovered until
early this morning, when young man went
to the store to make purchase. Finding
the front door locked he walked around to
the back door, which he found open, and
there being no response to his calls he as
ccnded the steps to the sleeping-room and
there saw the clerk lying in bed in his night
clothes dead, his head having been mashed
with club. The deceased usually slept
with bis pocket-book and pistol under his
pillow, but they were both gone.
