Wheeling, Sept. 3.-The grand jury o
the United States circuit court for Wes
Varginia at Parkersburg, yesterday, brought
in presentment of manslaughter against
Inspector Young for granting permit te
the steamer Scioto to carry more passengers
than authorized by law; also against David
Keller, pilot of Scioto, and Capt. Inglebrigh'
and pilot Long of the Lomas.
Washington, Sept 2.-Secretary Lincoln
is more amused than annoyed at the frantic
! endeavor of certain persons to break up the
| Presidents cabinet and furnish the execu
tive new set of officers. In conversation
| with friend, Lincoln took occasion to re
| fer to the talk about the impending cabinet
! changes, and expressed himself freely and
emphatically saying there was the greatest
| good feeling and cordiality between the
| President and each member of the cabinet,
| and all talk about cabinet break-np was
| not only unfounded but absurd. If Secre-
| tary Folger is nominated for governor OF
New York he will probably resign, but if
| he should not be nominated there is not the
slightest likelihood of change in the treas
| ury department. The object of Teller's
| visit to Colorado was to attend the mining
exposition at Denver and as prospective
| successor to Senator Cbilcott. One of his
| friends says Teller has no idea of leaving
| the cabinet to enter the senatorial race, for
had such been his desire he would not have
left the senate to enter the cabinet. The
rumor that Postmaster General Howe is to
| withdraw from the cabinet is fully as i'm
| probable as any other suggested.

have received telegram on the part of the
| entire body of the constabulary, stating
they will not do duty in Dublin while the
difficulties of the metropolitan forces re-
main unsettled.

large deficiency is expected and reported.
