h Unreported Proceed Infra of the Re
cent tons of the Cabinet.
When the proceedings of the Cabinet were
given to the public, a few days since, some little
surprise was felt and expressed that the matter
of deciding upon the opinions of the Attorney
General should he disposed of with so little evi
dence of contention.
Knowing; that two members of the Cabinet
were not a nnit in their views of General Sheri
dan's action at New Orleans, It was believed
that the first Cabinet meeting would be a long
and stormy one; but the published account of
the Cabinet deliberations Informed as that the
portion of Mr. Stanbery's opinion referring to
registration was concurred In with but one dis
senting voice. Many persons, however, re
garded this official statement of the Cabinet
operations as a very meagre display for four
days of cogitation, and suspected that all had
not been revealed.
Circumstances being favorable, your corres
pondent has been enabled to obtain a glance at
the internal machinery of the Cabinet, and has
observed something of that part of the transi
tions which have not yet. been given to the
country. It was understood, when the Cabinet
met yesterday a week a?o, that the opinion o
the Attorney-General on registration was to be
considered ; but on the third day of the sessions
the opinion on the power of military command
ers to remove and appoint civil officers was in
troduced for discussion.
Mr. Stanton, learning that the proceedings of
the Cabinet on the first opinion were to be pub
lished, prepared written statements of his rea
sons for voting against such points in the second
opinion as did not coincide with his views. As
the second opinion was to be considered in the
same manner as the first that is, divided
into sections, and a separate vote taken on each
section and as a secretary was present to record
all the proceedings of the Cabinet, when Mr.
Stanton voted against a section he handed over
his written argument why the section should
not be concurred in, and requested that his rea
sons for voting so should be included in the pro
ceedings. As some hesitation was manifested in
agreeing to this proposal, a vote was taken to
decide whether the arguments of the Secretary
of War should go into the proceedings, and this
time all voted 'No," except Mr. Stanton.
The discussion of the latter opinion is said to
have been quite warm and spirited, and it was
afterwards decided not to publish this portion
of the decisions. Before the President left the
city be gave the order to have the Instructions
to District Commanders prepared, and the
Secretary of War Is now engaged in completing
them; but it Is not expected that they will be
issued until the return of the Presideut.
Effect of General Sheridan' Letter to
General Grant The President Urged to
Attend to the Difficulties at Hevr Or-
leans.
The assertion may be safely ventured that the
hackneyed question, how to rehabilitate the
South, has never been more, enthusiastically
discussed than it has been here since the publi
cation of General Sheridan's letter to General
Grant, complaining of the President's request to
Mm to extend the time for registration. The
opinion of the Attorney-General on reconstruc
tion reawakened the interest felt in this sub.
ject, which bad been gradually falling off,
under the belief that the late legislation of
Congress was the last duty that body would
be called upon to perform to enable the re
bellious States to assume their places in the
Union.
Most of those who express their opinions on
the decision of Mr. Stanbery take issue with
him, and think that the conclusions of the dis
tinguished exrounder of the law savor more of
wrong construction than of reconstruction.
Speculation is active in surmising what will be
done next, and all seem to look forward to the
cooiing session ot Congress as the only means
of laying the unruly spirit j of opposition to the
will ol the people.
L Telegrams.lt is understood, have been sent
Jby influential parties to the President, urging
Ihim to return immediately and give his attcn
ftlon to the difficulties at New Orleans; and if it
fit true, as stated to-day, that General Grant will

Williamsfort, Pa., Jane 268 o'clook A. M-To-day
is the time appointed for convening the
Republican State Convention In this elty, in
pursuance of the following call:
Harbibbitro, April 16, 187. The "Bepnbltcan
Btatp Convention" will meet at the "Uerdlo House,"
in Wllllanmport. on WKiNKSDAY, the 2th day of
June next, at 10 o'clock A. M., to nominate a candi
date for Judge of the Huprnme Court, and to Initiate
proper measure for the eimulnR (State canvass.
An heretolore. the Convention will be composed of
Representative and Senatorial Dtlegatee, cnoxen In
the usual way, and equal In number to the whole of
the Senators and Bepreaeniativea In the Oeueral
ABHembly.
By order of the State Central Committee.
F. JORDAN, Chairman.
J. Roblev CuNoiusoK. Secretaries.
Late on Monday night, several delegates came
on the ground, and during the whole of yester
day they arrived id the place ' on every train.
The Herdle House, which is the only hotel of
pretension In the city, was made the general
headquarters of all the delegations, and
although many were forced to accept of rather
cramped accommodations, no was willing to
risk the chances of bis favorite candidate by
venturing to lodge at a distance from the great
central point. The intention at first was that
the sessions of the Convention should be held
at the Herdlo House, but the want of a room
suitable tor the purpose caused the substitution
of the County Court House. In the large audi
ence room of this establishment every require
ment Is found, and there Is, moreover, ample
room for a large number of spectators.
The Candidates for the Nomination.
: As soon as the delegates began to arrive, the
names and forces of the different candidates
for the nomination were developed, and from
that moment up to the present their relative
merits have received an earnest and anxious
discussion. On all sides It appeared to be gene
rally conceded that the candidate was of far
more importance than the platform on whloh
he was placed. The general principles of the
Kepublloan party of the State are so well settled
that there eould be bnt little room for discus
sion on that point, while the success of the
ticket at the polls depends in great measure
upon the name which It bears. The wisdom of
the recent Democratic Convention in placing
Judee Sharswood on nomination was conceded
on all hands, and his great personal worth
unhesitatingly acknowledged. Indeed, If he
should be successful at the polls, it Is generally
conceded that his election could in no wise be
regarded as a Republican defeat. For these
reasons the contest has become, in a great
measure, what a Judicial contest should become
personal, and not political. While, therefore,
the claims of each particular candidate for the
Republican nomination have been earnestly
pressed by their several friends, It has been the
general desire on all sides to select the man
who would add to the most exalted character as
a citizen and a Jurist the element of universal
popularity.
The contest for the nomination was of an
octagonal character, and although there were
some names which were now and then heard
upon the Hps of a country delegate, the follow
ing gentlemen comprised the assortment from
which the choice was to be made:
Hon. M. RusBell Thayer, of Philadelphia.
' Hon. H. W. Williams, LL. D., or Pittsburg.
. Hon. John J. Pearson, of Harrlsburg.
Hon. Samuel Linn, of Beliefouie, Centre
county.
lion. William Butler, of West Chester.
Thomas 10. Franklin, Esq., of Lancaster.
Hod. George Ta lor, of Huntingdon county.
Joshua W. Comly, Esq., of Danville, Montour
county.
In order that you may know something of the
character of the men among whom the choice
was to be made, I give the following sketch of
each of the above aspirants after the highest
judicial honors in the gilt of the State.
SI. Russell Thtyir,
Concerning this gentleman, who lives In your
midst, but little need be said, as his merits and
claims are known to all. He Is a native of
Petersburg, Virginia, and Is now in the forty
ninth year of his age. He received his educa
tion at the University of Pennsylvania, where
he graduated In 1810, and, having studied law,
was admitted to the bar In 1812. In 1862 he was
elected a member of the Thirty-eighth Con
gress, and, after serving two full terms, de
clined a second renominatlon, that he might
resume the practice of the law. His manly
record on the floor of Congress is too familiar
to require any repetition, while his ability and
successes a practitioner are equally well known.
Henry W. Williams,
of Pittsburg, Is a native of Connecticut, and Is
now about forty-five years of age. . He received
a thorough education at Yale College, whloh
subsequently conferred upon him the honorary
degree of "Doctor of Law,'1 aud having removed
to Pittsburg, he became a student at law In the
oflice of the late Chief Justice Lowrle. In 1813
be was admitted to the bar, becoming the law
partner of his former tutor. Judge Lowrle was
afterwards appointed by the Governor a Judge
of the District Court of Allegheny county, and
In 1851 was elected Chief Justloe of the State.
At the same time hla former pupil was
elected to fill the position formerly ooou.
plod by hlui. In 1801 Judge Williams
was re-elected an Assoolate Law Jndge of the
District Court of Allegheny county, without any
organized opposition. Previous to going npon
the bench he aohteved an excellent reputation
as a practitioner; and since his elevation to a
j udlclal position, he has more than maintained
It. A a lawyer he is methodical and aco urate;
as a judge, fearless and upright, possessing the
happy faculty of discerning at once the Justloe
of a cause, notwithstanding the difficulties and
quibbles by whloh it may be obsoured. Al
though his deposition Is modest and retiring,
be la extremely aooiftble In hu relation wUq
the members of the bar, and enjoys a rare popu
larity, where be Is known, with people of all
classes and of all political complexions. He is
sllll in the prime of life, is blessed with good
health, and is capable of sustaining the severest
mental labors for many years to come. The
delegates from Allegheny and other eonntles
Who were instructed to support him In the Con
vention have been most enthuslasllo In urging
his claims to the nomination, expressing them
selves as fully convinced of the faot that, what
ever loss might result at the east from the per
sonal popularity of Judge Sharswood, would be
more than counterbalanced In the west, in a
similar way, by the nomination of Judge
Williams.
John J. Pearson!
of Harrlsbnrg, la a native of Mercer county,
Pennsylvania, and is now in the sixty-fifth
year of bis age. For some years he continued
to reside in his native connty, which be repre
sented in the State Senate, and subsequently in
the lower House ef Congress. In 1849 he was
appointed President Judge of the Dauphin -Connty
District, by Governor William F. John
ston, and at the first judicial election under the
amended Constitution, In 1851, he was selected
by the people to fill the same position, receiv
ing a re-election In 1861. As all suits in behalf
of the State are required to be brought originally
at his Court, bis name has become more familiar
throughout the State than is usually the ease
with Judges of the country districts. Men of
all parties concede that he enjoys an unim
peachable character as a man, a lawyer, aud a
Judge, having no superior In the lat
ter capacity in the State. Although
nearly sixty five years of age, he is
still extremely vigorous, and fully equal to the
task that would be Imposed upon him by a
nomination and election. It is conceded that,
if he were ten years younger than he now is,
the nomination would be tendered him without
a contest. As it is he will receive a strong sup
port at the outset, and when many of the dele
gates are forced to give up their first for their
second choice , will probably find himself In the
majority. Mercer omnty, In grateful remem
brance of bis services to her in the past, In
structed her delegates to give him their support.
Samuel Linn,
of Bellefonte, Centre county, Is the President
Judge of the Judicial District in whloh he re
sides, and is about forty-five years of age.
Although his district was at the time Demo
cratic, he was elected to his present position
over Judge Gamble, of Lycoming county, for
merly a member of Congress. Judge Linn en
joys a rare reputation, both asa man and as a
lawyer, and that without any regard to the
politics of those who know him personally or
by reputation. He Is also the author of a very
elaborate and useful work entitled "The
Analytical Index." Bellefonte, hla place of
residence, is the home of ex-Governor Curtln,
and has become quite famous for the number
of prominent Judges who have gone out from
Its bar In times past, two of them Judges Burn
side and Huston to take their seats on the
bench of the Supreme Court of the State.
' -William Butler,
of West Chester, is a native of Chester county,
and is now about forty-five years of age. He
had achieved a fine reputation as a lawyer
when, six years ago, he gave up a large praotlce
to accept the position which ha now holds, of
President Judge of the Chester and Delaware
County District. As a Jurist he has fully main
tained the standing which he assumed before
he went upon the bench.
Thomas E. Franklin, -
of Lancaster, is a native of that city, and is
about fifty-two years of age. For thirty years
past he has been practising at the bar of Lan
caster and the adjoining counties, and has
acquired a reputation as a civil lawyer which is
second to tha of but few in the State. He
served as Attorney-General of the Common
wealth under the administration of Governor
Pollock. The Lancaster county delegates were
Instructed to support him In the Convention,
in addition to which he received a formal
written recommendation, signed by every
member of the Lancaster bar, without excep
tion, and without regard to politics.
George Taylor,
of Huntingdon county, is a native of Pennsyl
vania, and is now about fifty years of age.
After acquiring great suooess as a practitioner,
he became President Judge of the Huntingdon
county dis'rlot, and has held the position for
about twenty years. As a Judge, his reputation
Is excellent. And it Is said that the Supreme
Court seldom finds an opportunity of reversing
his decisions.
Joshua W, Comly,
of Danville, Montour county, Is a native of
Milton, Northumberland county, Pa., and is
now about fifty-five years of age. He received
his preliminary educatlonat Prinoeton College,
New Jersey .where he took the highest honors of
his class on graduating. He then studied law
at Milton, and has now been at the bar for over
thirty years, becoming one of the most success
ful practitioners in the central part of the State.
In 1851 he was one of the five Whig candidates
for Justices of the Supreme Court, but this
State was overwhelmingly Democratlo at
that time, and Judge Coulter was the only one
of the Whig candidates elected. The delegates
of Montour, Northumberland, Cambria, and
Lycoming counties were instructed to support
him In the Convention,
So much for the candidates for the nomina
tion; and in looking over the record, made by
the different men whose claims have been
urged upon the Convention, it is easily seen
that an unwise choice could scarcely be made.

THE INDIAN WAR.
Reports Regarding, tho Indian Troubles.
Washington, June 25. General L. C Camp
bell, an agent of the Indian Bureau, stationed
at Fort Sully, Dacotah Territory, on the Upper
Missouri river, arrived in this city to-day from
the fort, which he left on tho 9th instant. He
reports that all the Indians on the south and
west side of the Missouri are hostile and very
active. They have a large camp at the head
waters of the Harley river, about one hundred
and sixty miles from Fort Sully, which they
style the "Camp of Bands."
This body of Indians consists of nine bands of
Sioux and a few Crowfeet. They are represented
to be mostly well armed and provisioned, and
have thoroughly scoured the whole section of
country south and east of the Missouri, killing
and driving oil every white settler and trader
to be lound in that region. Their acts of hos
tility have been exceedingly numerous, and
their acts of revolting barbarity equally so.
Small scnunting parties of this nana are out
continually in search of whites, and who, when
found, are brutally murdered. No white set
tlers now remain in that section of the Terri
tory south of the Missouri river, all those tbat
could escape lrom the Indians having made
their way to Forts Sully and Rice for pro
tection. The Indians north and east of the Missouri
river are very peaceable and friendly, and have
gone to planting in good earnest. Tbey. how
ever, stand in great (ear of the hostile Indians,
who, if possible, are more bitter against them
than the whites. They are under the best pro
tection tbat can be aflordeJ by the military au
thorities, and if they are notdlsturbed will raise
fine crops the present season. The line ot the
Union Pacific RaiLoad west from Omaha is free
from hostile Indians, and the disposition of the
troops made by General Sherman will, it is be
lieved, save that road from their depredations.
Tho Indian Attack on Two Coaches on

Leavenworth, June 26. A passenger from

lena, 111., aped sixty years, was killed, and H.
Blake, of Philadelohia, was wounded la the
rhoulder. B. J. Harrison, of Boston, escaped
uninjured. Two soldiers and one driver were
also killed. The Indians were eventually re
pulsed. Nearly one thousand railroad men have been
driven back by Indians near Fort Harker, and
a large amount of stock -stolen aDd other pro
perty destroyed. The work on the road has
consequently been suspended. General Han
cock left Fort Wallace on last Tuesday tor Den
ver, with one hundred men, to clear the route.
General Sherman left to-day for 8t. Louis.
A large amount of arms and ammunition has
gone forward to arm the railroad employes.

of northern warriors has been transferred from
the Platte to the Smoky Hill route.
The Indians were armed with rifles, revolvers,
and bows and arrows.

The United Stales Controller of the Currency j
gives notice to ail persons holding claims agaibst
Ihe First National Bank of New Orleans to give '
legal proof thereof to the Receiver. Also, that
holders of circulating notes issued by said bank
can obtain lawful money for the same on appll- -cation
to the United States Treasury. A partial
hope has been entertained by some of the suf- .
ferers by this financial catastrophe that there
existed a possibility for resuscitating the bank, '
or that by careful management the heavy losses ,
might be materially lightened. Under different
auspices and with a new directory It was deemed :
possible to regain for the Institution somewhat ,
of its former standing and credit; but all such,
hepes and projects appear to have now been
abandoned.
The New York Herald to-day says; ' f
"The railway share market has beea active ana '
buoyant to-day, and a sudden upward movement la -Michigan
Bouthern took the stock Exchanite by snr- -print.
Home said tbat Commodore Vanderblli waa :
at the bottom of It In order to oust the Keep party,
from the management ef the road, and oilier spoka '
mysteriously ot a contemplated consolidation :
embracing old Southern: but the probabilities -are
that neither of the causes referred to '
have anything to do with the present rise, and that It '
Is wholly of Wall street origin. Certain brokers and -professional
speculators were saddled with a large
amount of the stock prior to the last elootlon, aud C
having met with a disappointment then they .
have since been biding their time. Mean-
while the earnlnan of the road have been de
creasing, and responsible partlee welt acquainted ,
with Its position have sold It "short" on the facts
ot the esse. The present bulls In the stock watched !
ibis bear movement In It and have now ventured to
show their band, aud their object Is to force the .
bears to "corner'' their contracts at a loss, by buying
from them, and at the same time get the street to
buy It on speculation for a rise. If we are not mis-
taken, some of those who were prominently
associated with, the Prairie du Cblen "oori
ner." are prime movent In this attempt t
galvanlr.e od Southern - Into activity, and
twist tbe shorts In the good old style of previous
years. Whether tbey will succeed or not, however, Is -ao
open question. If tbey do. they will deserve all .
they make; but tbe contest Is one of no consequence
at all to tbe public The sympathy of the street Is,
with tbe bulls more than tbe bears, but It matters not .
which side wins, In the long ran. - .
"Tbe oondlillon aflecvtng the market are mora,
favorable to a rise than to a fall. The crops promise
to be abundant, although tbe rain of the last eighteen t
hours Is not favorable to them, and tbe apprehen
sions of monetary strlngeucy In consequence
of tbe preparations of the national banka for '
their quarterly returns on tbe 1st proximo are t
likel to prove Ill-founded. T'lla last la the lm- ,
mediate source of tbe upward Impulse the stock
market has Just received. Loans are made freely to
the mock ExOange at six percent., and there are
not a few transactions it Are where the amounts are'
large, while on On"" -eula Ave la the general rate.
The supply i.TiRSi commercial paper is so
ltgbt that' banks have to rely upon stock
bonses for tbe employment of their funds.;
and tbe latter passes at 6V&7 per cent., while,
tbe second grade Is quoted at Tbe bulls Id
stocks are emboldened by this favorable aspect of the"
money market, and avail themselves ot the opportu
nity to discount a demand from the pnnllo later In tbe '
season, pending which tbey will make as much'
capital as possible out of the existing "short" Interest.
On the Block xchas.e, nevertheless we have aa yet -only
a brokers' market, and tbe bulls must bear la:
mind the danger of counting chickens before they are
batched."
