.NAsHINeroS, September 1.-Some recent
developments indicate that on the result of
two State Conventions depends the ques-
ton of reconstruction OF the Cabinet
Secretary Foiger has finally Acknowledged
that under certain conditions he will be a
candidate for the gubernatodal nomination
in New York. while inioI nation received
here within few days places beyond
doubt th%t Secretary Teller is q candidate
fer his old place in the Senate. The nomi-
mating conventions on which hang the pos
sibility o. q change in the Departments OF
which these gentlemen are the respective
chiefs are both TO be held next month, the
New York Convention on the 10Th, and it
is probable that fore Congress meets
again the Interior and Treasury Depart
mentS will have new heads.
Secretary FOlger e-A
said to correspondent to-day that il seemed
10 De the general understanding that his
name would be submitted to the coming
Safe Convention for its action, and while
he was not a ca1didate-uSing that word in
the sense of q seeker alter a position
should the convention see fit to nominate
him he would accept and enter heartily
into the canvass. II am not ashamed to
say Mr.. FOlger continued, that a NOM
ination for Governor of my own State is an
honor o. which would be proud and
which / would accept without hesitation"
Il expect to be in New York in few
days and will make short stay there, bnt
! co not 60 to take any part in the canvass
for the nomination, and | shall not use
any effort TO secure L. The general i'm.
preston here is that SCcresGry Folger goes
into the contest supported by the Admin
iStratiOn, which believes that he is the one
available candidate who can unite the fac
tiOns of the party. Barney Biglin and john J.
O'Brien, Of New York, arrived here myste-
riously yesterday or last night and had Two
consultations with Mr.. Folgsr, one lass
night and one this morning, the latter last
ing more than two hours.
Al the Interior Department
il is an open secret that Secretary Teller
expects 10 be returned TO his old seat in the
Senate. and that in consequence change
in the SecretaryShiD may be expected.
When Mr.. Teller lett here he expected to
return about the lst of September, but it is
now announced thSt he will not return be-
fore the latter end OF the month. The con-
yentiOn when chOoce" a successor to till his
unexpired term, meets on the l4th, and he
will remain un,il he sees the result. His
friends here say that the people of the
State are determ'r ed to have him in the
Senate again, and that he will accede to
the popular will.
More Changes.
There are rea.ons for saying that there
will be an early recastinS OF the Cabinet.
1t will be from no disagreement between
it and the Executive, nor from internal
dissensionS, but solely to insure greater
efficiency in the Seryice and to strengthen
the administration before the country. The
need of the letter has for some tine been
felt In this respect the Cabinet is not
strong one. 1t has been the cause of many
complaints from General Arthurs most
faithful supporters From the hrst 1t was
felt that the Cabinet had too many grand,
fathers in it-too little fresh blood and
sinew.
Mr. Howe while accepting the Post OF
fee Department, wanted only the post OF
ATTORNEY. General. This was given to Mr..
Brewster solely because OF his connection
with the Star Route suits. But Mr.. Howe's
transfer ~ that position IS altogether I'M
pIob2ble. He is the Oldest member'of the
Cabinet. Cabinet duties are onerous to
m,n mast seventy. It is known that the
work of his present post IS distastetul to
him.

ambition, is improbable, though change
i'm he office he now holds is not unlikely.
MIR. Telltrs appointment to the Interior
was due to an embarrassment growing out
OF Ssrgents failure to get that office. The
Colorado Senator's acceptance was to obilge
the President and to save himself. Teller
is in Colorado now, arranging for his re-
election to the Senate, which his reslgna-
tion to go into the Department OF the In
terror helped rather, than otherwise. BE-
tween him and the President it was under

In the War Department there will be no
change, unless Mr.. Lincoln desires it. The
fight for David D4yis' seat in the Senate
may force 4 change.
