Tb Cabinet.
T Watinton, January 0. It Is known that
ttecrrtary Wanton did not agree with tho Presi
dent and the other members of the Cabinet as
to the District Suffrage bill. The President Is
-terinied to have a harmonlo as Cabinet; but
the probabilities are that he will go on wtthout
chnn-,:e until March, and attor thai time any
to trctory member who shall not have resigned
will be turned out.
At the Cabinet meeting vesterdsy all the
members were present. Tctmeot the meet
ing was mainly ron"un,f.(i in discussing the
schemes now pending l4 Congress for tlie re
duction of the Souther States to a territorial
condition. On this pot the Cabinet was naani

tary. and as the President places the fullest
confl eVrvce In the wisdom of nis management,
the rumors telegraphed hence of a want of
con Jdence on the part of the President are sim
ply without foundation. The Executive defers
al' Aost entirely to Mr. McCallocli upon the
V test ion of the nuances, and the two are
.mown to be in tho most perfect accord on the
' object,
Th Impeachment Resolutions.
It Is not true, as stated, that the Judiciary
"Ooaimittee of the Ilonse has commenced its in
""vestigatlon of the charge aeainst ihe President.
33 r. Afhley was invited to come before the cam
;&ittee this morning informally, and merely in
. conversational way stated to them his
'-rounds lor the charges he had made, and the
nature of the proofs he had to sustain
them. Neither his own testimony, nor that of
any onclelse, was taken on the subject, nor is
the committee yet prepared to proceed with
the investigation. It Is a dolicate ques
tion with then, yet to be determined, whether
they wilt proceed with it or not they are au
thorized, but not compelled or requested to do
so. They arc fully aware of the responsibilities
of the case, and will be cautious in their move
ments, and not proceed unless they are assured
t reasonable grounds on which to make out a
case. It is prjper to sta'e that strong influences
are being brought to bear upon the committee
from Republican sources to induce them to
leave the snbject alone, and tbe tone of the New
York papers, especially the Herald, has caused
them to reflect seriously upon the matter.
General Grant and the Veto Message.
It having been denied by some parties that
General Grant approved of the President's veto
messare, the statement is reiterated upon tho
highest authority. The question of disfranchise
ment of Itebels was not discussed in the mes
sage, and therefore its reading neither called
forth an opinion on that point from General
Grant nor the members of the Cabinet. The
question of unqualified negro suffrage was dis
cussed, as well as the relations of the Executive
to the legislative departments of the Govern
ment, and the duty of legislators to respect the
wishes of the people for whom tbey legislate;
and on these points General Grant's voice was
as earnest in support of the positions taken as
that of any member of the Cabinet. He .even
went further, and condemned the conduct of
Congressmen in loisting upon a community that
bad no representative negro suffrase, while they
Tefrained from giving tuc negroes a like privi
1 ge in their own communities. N. Y, Hera'd.

Sale of Pews In Beecher's Church.
TWENTY PER CENT. ADVANCE IN THE PBEM1CMS
$50,000 REALIZED.
Plymouth Church, in Brooklyn, was densely
thronged Tuesday evening by the reeular at
tendants and others who assembled, in re
sponse to the Invitation of the trustees, to rent
the pews ol tbe edifice lor the present year.
The audience was provided with correct
dingraffis of tbe seats, and the bidding was
spirited to the close. Mr. Beecher was preseut,
but took no part in the proceedings. At 7
o'clock the auctioneer, Mr. Pillsbury, com
menced the sale, and soou after the temple pre
sented the scene of a great auction-room, with
the knight ot the hammer dwelling on the
rapid bids, and sounding the inevitable "going,
going, gone," of his profession. . During the
auction there was a constant buzz of conversa
tion, which was increased when some aspirant
for a choice pew offered the highest premium
for it, and thus vanquished a dozen rivals for its
possession,
Tbe following were the highest premiums ob
tained: Tew. prem. Rent.

The Miser and Ills Bag.
The London Lancet says: "A good illustra
tion occurred a few days tdnce of tho strength
of 'the ruling passiou' even in death. An old
man in his last illness was admitted into one
of the metropolitan hospitals. He was without
relatives, iriends, or apparent means of sub
sistence; but when undre-sed and put into bed
a bag ot money wns found suspended by a string
round bis neck. To this he clung with tenacity,
refusing to part with it to any one, and wearing
it about him by day and night. As his end
approached, the treasure became a matter of
anxiety to those tending him; for tbe sum was
evidt ntl.v larae, and it was feared that it might
oiler temptations to some patient in case the
moment of his death should be unobserved. At
length the hour .arrived, and when death had
aoparmtly cluimed him, a nurse gently uu-fnst-.ned
the string nud removed the baz. At
the tame moment the old man opened his eves
and Kit instinctively for his treasure, which
wus no longer in its place, lie uttered the
word 'Gone !' and died. The mouev, which was
found to amount to 174, was handed over to
the hospitul authorities.''

The Atlantic Telegraph.
We find in the London Ohsn'oer tbe following
lepotts of cable receipts: "The receipts from

MORE FORGERIES UISCOVKRED.
Forged Check on Messrs. Jay Cooke &
Co. Presented at the Fourth National
. Bank-On of th Parties Arrested.
On Monday afternoon the paying teller of
the Fourth National Bank, Mr. Samuel Conover,
noticed a young man, who subsequently gave
the name of Kichard MeCormack, waiting at
Lis desk. On Inquiring, young MeCormack
presented a check for $0909, purporting to have
been drawn by Messrs. Jay Cooke Co., to the
order ot J. F. Dean.
The teller received the check, and wrote tho
usual certlflcato across its face, but before he
Said it his suspicions were arouspd by the con
uct of the boy: so Mr. Conover sent the check
to the otlice of Jay Cooke & Co., where it was
immediately pronounced a forgery. In the
meantime young MeCormack had been dctnlned,
and he wns given into the custody of Detec
tive Ober, of the Fir.-t Precinct.
The prisoner piofessed the most profound
ignorance of the real character of the check
presented by him, stating also thnt he had re
ceived it from a man named Francis D. Dean,
who had an office on the top floor of No. 64 Cedar
street. It appears that Dean advertised for a
hoy to do errands, and young McCormnck, who
has been in this country only a lew weeks, was
the successful applicant.
When arraigned before Just'.ce Dowllng at the
Tombs yesterday morning, the prisoner stated
that Dean had instructed him to deposit the
proceeds of the check In the National Park
Bank, where Deau bad opened an account, and
his employer would meet him in Nassau street,
near the Bank. Mr. Conover testified that the
check had been presented to him for payment,
and Edw ard Dodee, of the firm of Jay Coone &
Co., made an affidavit that the check was a tor
reiy. It came out during this examination that
Dean had succeeded in opening an account at
the Park Bunk by means of forged recommen
dations from a well-known merchant in Gold
street, Mr. A. Wetzel, to Mr. U. L. West, tbe
cashier. Dean had also sold some securities to
Jay Cooke A Co., and received their check for
tbe amount, upon the signature of which he had
practised when preparing the forged one.
From the evidence in the case the magistrate
became convinced that the prisoner was inno
cent of all knowledge or intent, so he was
remanded for examination, in order to allow
the detectives time to look for Mr. Dean, who,
it is needless to say, is still absent from his
attic office. A case almost identical with this
one occurred in Wall street a few months ago,
when a newly arrived and half-wilted English
man wns made the victim of an unknown
6harrer, and imprisoned for some weckx at the
Tombs. Aeio York limes of toda.

BRIGIIAM YOUNG.
THE CENSUS OF HIS WIVES HIS FIRST, LAST, AND
SEVERAL INTERMEDIATES.
Mary Angell Young is the first living and l"gal
wite ot the prophet. She is a native of New
York, and is a tiue-looking, intelligent woman.
She is biree, portly, and dignified. Her hair is
well sprinkled with the frosts of age; her clear
hazel eyes and melancholy connteuance indicate
a soul w here sorrow reigns supreme. She has
been much attached to her husband, and his
infidelity has made deep inroads upon her mind.
Her deep-seated melancholy often produces
flights of insanity, which increase with her
declining years.
Lucy Decker Seely is the firr t wife in "plu
rality," or the second ''woman."
Lucy Decker was married to Isaac Seely;
ami had two children, she afterwards became
a Mormon, and went to Nauvoo to reside. Her
husband, Seely, was somewhat dissipated, but
treated her wei'. She, however, saw Brother
Briguani, and lovrd him. He visited her. told
her that Seely could never give her an "exalta
tion'' in the eternal world; that he, being "high
in the priesthood," could muke her a queen in
the first resurrection.
She yielded to th&o Inducements and the
promptings of her inclinations, left her husband,
and w as "sealed'' to Brigham Young.
Lucy Decker bus. brown hair, lurk eyes,
small features, a fair skin, and is short ot stature,
but quite embonpoint. She would strongly re
mind you of a New England wife, "fat, fair, and
forty." In common with nearly all the inmates
of the harem, she is of very ordinary intellect
and limited education.
Clara Decker, sister of Lucy Decker, is a short,
thick-set person, very much like Lucy in ap
pearance. She is much more intelligent and
iigieeable than her sister, aDd in every way her
sujieiior.
She is also quite a favorite with the Prophet;
lir.s three or four children, aud is much attache 1
to her "husband."

jealous women, she is nobla-nearted. Miss

The Freed men' Bureau Delight of the
'Chivalry" In Texan.
Communications have been received at the
Frecdmen'a Bureau from Austin, Texas, catling
attention to wrongs and outrages towards the
freedmen in the northeastern counties of Texas
stating tbey are now more oppressed and
brutally treated than In the day of slavery.
The lash Is more cruelly administered than it
ever was, and freedmen who have cultivated
land and raised crops have had all taken from
them. Outrages, from cold-blooded murders
down, have occurred, and there is no oae to
whom they can apply for redress.
A member of the Grand Jury ot Rod River
county was heard to say : "They dare not Indict
these criminals, known to them as Inviug been
guilty; an old citizen would not be permitted to
live there a day were ho known to take any
steps to redress these wrongs."
Also a communication from Austin, Texas, re
porting thejnurder of two freedmen, on? near
Austin, and the other at "Uomsby's Bend,''
by white men.
Another case Is reported at "Prairie Lea,"
where a freedman was cruelly whipped for
addressing a young man as "low," in
stead of "Master Thomas." Another was shot
for refusing to give his bottle of whisky to two
white men. The civil officers will not tako any
steps to bring the offenders to justice.
Another was cruelly whipped for having
brought a suit for wages against a white man.
In Panola county there exists a gang of white
men who live by robbing freodmen; tbe people
are afraid of them, Mid the civil authorities are
powerless, because witnesses are atraid to testify
against them.
These cases are reoortod by men who are
known to be tru'hful and reliable.

the remainder was the equal property or both.
Tho merchants eognged a room together at
ihe Girard House, where the strong box was
placed, while each set about to hunt up cus
tomers for his wares. On the evening ot the day
of their arrival at the hotel, Kautz asked his
partner for tbe key of the trunk, stating that he
wished to get something of his own out of it.
Mr. Blocli banded the'key lo bim, and aft'i
going to the trunk and taking something out,
Kautz left the room, stating that he would
return shortly. Sunda, Monday, and Tuesday
passed, and still there were no tidings trom
Kautz, and suspecting something wrong, Blocu
sent for a locksmith, who opened to- box. when
lol it was discovered that the contents had all
been abstracted.
Tbe matter was Immediately brought to the
notice of the Police authorities, who set about
tbe task of securing the delinquent. The aecu-ed
