Cabinet Troubles.

N. Y. Herald.
The reported disagreement in the
Cabinet is not only true, but the
cause, it is said, involves two mem.
bers, one of whom emphatically
complains Of unwarranted interfer-
ence with the affairs Of his depart
ment by the head of another de-
partment. The President having
assumed the entire responsibility
for the cause of the alleged griev-
ance, the complaining member of
the Cabinet has only to gracefully
yield or -'esign.
Special to Courier-Journal.
During the last ten days various
rumors have been in circulation
affirming disagreements between
the President and pl plsmbers of his
Cabinet. At one time it was said
that the President and Secretary
Chandler had quarreled; then it was
Secretary Folger, between whom
and the President there had been an
exchange Of views not of pleasant
character. There does not appear
to be any foundation for these ru-
mors, except that 1t has for some
time been belieyed that the Presi-
dent would be very glad to get rid
Of some qf the members of his
Cabinet, and that he had found
occasion to express to one or two of
them his decided dissent from Ger,
tain actions which had been taken
by them. The President is, how>
ever, of such a reticent, nature HIM
self, and has impressed so forcibly
the virtue of reticence on his Cabs
net, that be nor any Of them is
likely to commUpieate any facts
with reference to these matters.

Examination Of Pension Claims

The reorganization Of the force
special examiners of pension claims
is completed, and Commissioner
Dudley expects good results to fol
low. The special examiners are
about $50 in number, and their
duties are thoroughly to Investigate
all doubtful or suspected claims, as
we'll as those in which the circum-
stances render it difficult to get at
their merits. Heretofore the work
of the special examiners has been
directed from Washington. The
results were not in all respects sat
isfactory and an organization Is
now to be established analogous to
that of the Post Office or the Inter-
nal Revenue service.
The country will be divided into
divisions, in each Of which there
will be supervising special exam
iner, selected because of his knowl,
edge Of the pension business. To
him will be sent all classes in his
division which require a special
Investigation, and to him the report
of the special examiners IN his dyvis-
ion will be sent for Inspection
Thus far fourteen divisions haye
been established and three more
will be organized within the next
four weeks.
The division headquarters then
will be New York, Syracuse, Boston,
PHILADELPHIA. Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Detroit, Chicago,St. Paul, st. Louis,
Des Moines, indianapolis, Colum-
bus, Harrisburg, Pittsburg, Spring
field, ILL.,, and Knoxville, Tenn
The special agents service is in
charge Of Colonel 3. ]. Rathbone,
whose office is in Washington, but
who spends the greater part of his
time in the field. He possesses
special qualifications for the duty,
and has the confidence of Com mis-
sioner Dudley.

TIE question Of duty on granulated

be the same as that imposed by law on

It is thought to be the intention
of the friends Of Gen. Grant to pre-
sent his name again for the Prpsl-
Sdency, aud, in the peculiar straits
in which the republicans are liable
to find themselves;,to urge him as
the best man that can be put for
ward. 1t is quite evident that Gen /.
Grant has no IDEA Of going into re
TRACY, for he omits no opportunity
Of showing himself in public. On
the recent Northern Pacific excur-
sion he was never invisible when Il
crowd collected; was always ready
to speak when called up, and on
occasions made two or three speech
es in one day, and good ones at
that.
Gen. Sherman, q short time since,
was reported as saying that Grant
had ruined himself py going into
politics, bnt Grant does not look
npon it in that light and is not 10th
to take little more ruin Of the
same sort if he can get it.

A Step to Revolution

A correspondent who possesses an
intimate acquaintance with the lea
ders of the popular party who are
now engaged in prosecuting the
Norwegian Ministers says: 'Ru-
mors have reached England that
the decision of the tribunal now en-
gagged i'll trying the Prime Minister
in case the verdict should be the
dismissal Of the Ministers from their
office will be set aside or diregar-
ded, and that the King will express
his confidence in the Ministers and
retain them in his council or that
he even may appoint new conser>
vatiye Ministry. But surely this,
in a constitutional country, is the
first step toward revolution. The
court is unquestlonably a national
tribunal, and the Judgment there
expressed is the will Of the people.
A coup detat on the part of the
King has been spoken of and more
than once recommended by some Of
the conservative papers in the coun-
try. 1t is surely too late in the day
for any constitutional king to think
of forcing an absolute veto, which
is now really the bone Of contention,
upon his people at the point of the
bayonet, and if the Norwegiars do
not belle their traditions there
seems but little chance Of success
for the King if he were to attempt
to thwait the national will by force
of arms.''
