CABINET CHAEGEs-ANTIoIPATED ACTION OF THE


PREsIDENV.


Senator Harlan's resignation of the Secretary
ship OF the Interior Department Is still topic
OF speculation, and generally hoped for. Those
named as his probable successors have decreased
in number, until the choice is said to lie between
Governor Randall, of the Post Office Department,
and Senators Cowan and Doolittle.


''The two latter are considered especially de-
sirous OF aiding the Presidential reconstruction
proposition IN Congress, and it Is not deemed
likely that they would accept a place In the
Cabinet unless especially urged SO to do. The
field is thus clear to Randall, whose appoint
ment Is considered sure whenever the change is
made. The time of Harlan's resignation still re-
mains in doubt. He is known to have expressed
to a Western Congressman of hls own political
ilk, day or two ago, his intention not TO re-
main much longer.


''Men that are In the most eligible places for
understanding the Presidents mind upon the
subject assume that he is only awaiting the ostra-
cism of Tennessee as State, which is evidently
the plan OF the Reconstruction Committee, to
invite such Of the Cabinet ministers as are In
known accordance with that decision to vacate
their places. If this policy is 10 obtain Harlan,
Stanton, and Speed will have soon to bid long
farewell TO their ministerial greatness"

to Juarez, and the noble cause he represents.
Without doubt the policy OF the President his
principle, together with his unswervng faith in
The justice of his cause, have wrought change
in the minds of large numbers who were hitherto
unaccustomed to witness such noble traits of
character.

From the Missouri Republican,


The report Of the Treasury Department
shows that the revenue of the Government
for the year ending June 80, amounted TO
the enormous sum Of fec hundred and ffty
millions Of dollars. In this sum, however, is
included the revenue from customs, paid in
cold. amounting to more than one hundred
and sixty millions Reducing this to the
standard of legal tender, the total revenue
would exceed six hundred millionaire en-
tire sum raised by taxation, paid by the
American people. A few years since-ive
years ago-a man would have been deemed
insane who had affirmed the ability Of the
Government 10 raise such sum, without
loans. ont Of the pockets of the people by
direct tax and customs. But these are the
figures, revenue in one year equaling one
fifth of the three thousand millions OF debt
incurred by the war.


With such a magnificent national income
in time Of peace, there being no exigency, no
crisis demanding the accumulation in the
Treasury Of sums SO much IN excess Of Gov
ernment needs, the imposition upon the peo-
pie, already burdened by the taxation which
compels them TO pay now six hundred mil
lions per annum, Of the new Tariff ball, is
wanton outrage. Three interests secured
the passage in the House Of that oppressive
bill-New England manufacturers and hold
ers Of stocks Of goods the wool interest Of
Ohio and the iron interest OF Pennsylvania.
A Radical majority in Congress is response
bic for sacrificing to those interests the en-
tire agricultural interest Of the country, ex-
oept 50 far as wool raising is concerned, and
compelling every man, woman and child in
America TO pay dear for every important
article Of indispensable necessity, and dearer
still for all American manufactures which
through this Tariff biil are able to secure
monopoly Of trade.

OF THE COURAGE AND CHARAC-


TER OF THE SOUTH.


Gen. T. p. BLAIR, in conservative Union
speech at st. Louis few days ago, paid the
following compliment to the Southern States:


"They have evineed courage and endur-
ance by their gallantry and by their long
suffering in this cause, 50 mistaken, and so
erroneous, and so criminal, they have shown
themselves to be the equals of an equal num-
Der Of any men upon God Almighty's globe
TApplause Those who have contended
against them are those who are the reddjet 10
admit that they have shown themselves to De
the equals of any other people in the world.
Applause Not only have they shown
themselves ready TO admit that these men
are their equals but they have shown them
selves the readiest to overlook the past, and
forget what there is need of forgetting and
to receive these men back into the Govern
ment, nth all the rights and dignity of their res
pectiue States unimpdire9, simply requiring
them upon the pledge which they Will give,
that they will renew their allegiance to the
Government of the United States. Ap-
plause. Cannot we trust that pledge if these
men will give it to us? Have we not reason
to believe that they are men of sincerity?
Can we not confde in these brave men2 L
say that we can. [Applause.l l say that
this is the only way in which they can be
brought back into the Government and
bound 70 il by links of gratitude, stronger
than any links of steel that can be wrought
[Applause.


And now [ will ask, what foreign nation
is there on earth that would not be proud
and baDDv to receive these Deople and give
them all the rights of citizenship enjoyed by
any of their citizens? Applause. Would
not France be eager to do it? Would not
Great Britain be too proud to extend her
dominion over that proud country, sharing
her Government with those gallant, noble
men who have vindicated their right TO
manhood in this contest unparalleled in the
history Of war? Would not any foreign ma
ton upon the face of the earth be willing
to receive this people2 Not receive them
on degrading terms, but receive them in
open arms upon an equality with her other

the other day about the duty Of this com

Railroads to this point We alluded to the
sore coming Of ths Western Union Line,
and to the possibility Of the Pennsylvania
Central extending its line from Peoria hi,h

up to Rock Island. We tell this people
that these things are Of weighty importance
and that Rock Island and Davenport ought
to come together in union mass-meetinl
and take steps to encourage this enterprise
and do It 1t once. Have not the citizens oil
both these places long been praying for q

sional and legislative bodies believe honestly
that, without the assistant of their intellects
and tongues, the country cannot have tho
rough understanding of any measure ofpnblic
interest. But they are mistaken. The esti-
mate In which they hold themselves Is very
different from that in which they are held by
others This is very common error of man
kind, but it is nowhere more conspicuous than
in the candidates for oratorical fame.


The American people are very fond of genu-
Inc eloquence, but they are sufficiently ac-
quainted with 1t to discriminate the genuine
from the bogus article. A country which has
listened to WEBsTERs, CLAYs, and CALHorSs,
cannot have much relish for the ponderous
stuff that now almost breaks down the Globe.
If there is anything of public value or interest
In n congressional or legislative speech, the
newspapers will be quick enough to publish 1t
without any request for that purpose AS to
speeches, anybody can make speeches. The
faculty of speech making is as general as
petroleum, but not quite as valuable. Wells
Of words are bubbling up all over the land,
but they furnish neither light nor heat.

= In debate in the French Senate, on the
petition setting forth the danger of burying
those who are not dead by hasty interments
Cardinal Donnet Archbishop of Bordeaux,
recited three cases ofEving persons supposed
to be dead whom during his experience as
priest he had saved from burial. In two
cases there was complete rstoration of life
one of the persons so rescued, lady of dis
tinguished family, is now happy wife and
mother. A fourth case, told by the Arch
bishop, accounts for his own long sustained
attention to the subject. He said:


In the summer of 1926, a close and
sultry day, in church which was excessively
crowded, young priest who was in the act
of preaching was suddenly seized with giddi-
ness in the pulpit. The words he was uttering
became inCiistinct, he soon lost the power of
speech. and sunk down on the floor. He was
taken out of the church and carried home.
All was thought to be over. Some hours af-
ter the funeral bell was tolled, and the usual
preparations made for the interment His
eyesight was gone; but if he could see nothing
like the young lady 1 have alluded to, he
could hear, and 1 need not say that what
reached his ears was not calculated to reas-
sure him. The doctor came, examined him,
and pronounced him dead; and after the
usual inquiries as to his age and the place of
his birth, &c, gave permission for his inter
ment next morning. The venerable bishop
III whose cathedral the young priest was
preaching when he was seized with the fit
came to his bedside to recite the De Ptotu1adis
The body was measured for the coffin.


Night came on. and you will easily feel how
inexpressible was the ahguish of the living
being in such situation. AT last, amid the
voices murmuring around him, he distinguish
ed that of one whom he had known from in
fancy. That voice produced marvellous
effect and superhuman effort. Ofwhatfollow-
ed 1 need say more than that the seeming
ly dead man stood next day in the same pull
pit. That young priest gentleman, is the
same young man who is now speaking before
event, implores those in authority, not merely
to watch vigilantly over the careful execution
of the legal prescriptions with regard to inter
ments, but to enact fresh ones in order to
prevent the recurrence of irreparabe mis-
fortunes"

The CATTLE .TRADE.-The cattle trade
of Richmond for the past year has been
very large. Only about 5000 head OF
horned cattle have been weighed at the
State scales during the past year, though
this does not include all that have been re-
ceived, many being sold at the markets that
are never sent to the scales. From the
south side of the river the receipts have
been very large. During the last two
weeks nearly one-half Of the cattle arriv-
ing here have been sold around the mar
kets without going to the State scales at all.
In this connection, we may mention that
cattle brokers suffer much injustice, from
the fact that they are required to pay q
tax for doing business in Richmond. and
then are required to pay another tax for
Henrico county merely because the State
scales are there.

his wife and himself were sold, and he came
to Virginia. He married again in this city,
but took good care of the two children

saw nothing until last fall. She then de-
manded the children, which Taiiaterro
refused to give up. From time to time she
made application for the children, and on
Tuesday evening she went to Talaterro's

they should be given to her Immediately.
This resulted in TalafcrrO turning her out

way, let one child be given to the woman,
