Tn Cabinet Lark or Harmony In Its Councils 5e BUnton and Mcliellaii Correspondence The Becretary or Stale Tenacious or His Posiiloa lie Ueluscs lo lake a Jllnt taaaiKW Talked or. Washington, Oct. 15. The suggested changes iii the Cabinet, wulcu have bo often been urtred and intended, still remain suspended trom the failure ot the President to meet the expectations of bis friends and to fultil the desire of the country. It is 1m possible that the Administra tion can succeed, or tbat the President can have a (air bearing, wbilo tUere is such an absence of harmony as now exists in the Cabinet, and such radical differences in principles and policy as actanlly separate their council". Autagoniam, and not bouiogeneouaiif8, is tbe distinguishing characteristic of this Cub'.nct in its political composition, in its practice, and In its theories. There is no bond of union, sympathy, or cohe sion. Every man, except perhaps tbe Attorney General, and tbe old .lady who is called Secre tory of the Navy, is tor himself first, last, and always. They all profess very differently, It is true; but their acts contrast strongly with their ardent and Interested professions, which are mainly volunteered to cuBure their retention of power. The President has long felt that his Cabinet was an embarrassment and an incubus first. because it did not challenge tbe confidence of the country, and, secondly, oecause u nas me best reason to know that It has not been faith ful to him personally. Stanton was long noto rious as a spy, who abused the confidential re lations which his position offered, to incite hostility against the man by whose mistaken favor be was retained in an office which he per verted into the most British and unscrupulous machine of personal and party ambition. When his private correspondence with General McClel lan, written at the very identical time he was conspiring his downfall, and professing the most devoted personal friendship, shall see the light of day, as it mubt soon do to vindicate the truth ol history, and when bis conduct in Jobs, con tracts, and favoritism shall be exposed, the world will see what manner of man is this criminal lawyer, who waa unduly foisted into high place, and who was notorious in this city as an.aider and abettor in the work of secession when it seemed to promise success. There are multitudes of living witnesses, well known to the country, who are ready to testify lu this re spect, and to prove the hypocrisy ot Mr. tie ward's ''Caruot," as he wai pleased to call him. let with all this knowledge it was difficult to bring tbe President tq the point of dismissing one who had tbe erosa indecency to cling to . office even after being ordered to quit proof that be was never fitted lor such association or rettfioiiglbility. Johnson was perhaps partially misled by the efforts of Mr. Seward to retain Stanton, for it is well knovn that he invoked every possible means and seut every available man to tbe President, in the hope of preventing tbat result. And be tee I i lied bin devotion in an ostentatious and offensive manner before the fmbllc by driving the expelled SecretHry through he principal thorough f ires immediately alter bis dismissal, as if to rebuke the President and to cover the disgrace ot Slauton with the mantle of his diplomacy. How well he succeeded tbe recent elections answer in a rebuWo which ought at least to make tbeat bo h tremble. It is well understood here that the President has more than once del'CRtelv intimated a desire to his Cabinet to receive their resignations: but the hint has never been taKen, evtn when given in .he broadest terms as It was quite recently to Mr. Seward. The Inte'igencer, which is sometimes recognize! as a convenient organ of the President, publish d an article several weeks ago, which very clearly told the Secre tary ot State that his services were no longer required. Mr. 8eward presented himselt at the White House with the rmner. aud demanded to know, in a very I peremptory tone, If the offen sive article had been seen or approved oy me President, to which the latter quietly replied that he "had seen It before the publication." Thereupjn the wrath of the Secretary subsided as it did when Lord John Russell threw the Alabama claims iu his face, and told him he would not arbitrate. He went home satisfied, and held on like a Trojan to his office, and means to die as bard as bis friend Stanton did. A determined effort is now making to purse the Cabinet, and Mr. Johnson begins to take courage from the elections. If he would only do half that he intends, the difficulty would be soon settled. Longer Witalion will ruin him entirely, and he feels this embarrassment so much that possibly he may take the bull by the horns. One difficulty is a choice ot men; and this is more serious. Deihaoe. than would be supposedat a first glance J. 8. Black, of Pennsylvania, is pressed for the State Depart ment; but his connection with Buchanan's ad ministration, and his conduct during the war, render his confirmation impossible, even if it were desirable to restore such Bour bons. Eeverdy Johnson offers, perhaps, the best chance before tbe Senate, aud would be, at least, a respectable appointment. Neither General Blair nor Oeneral McCjernand oan be confirmed as Secretary of War, and it would only intenHifv hostility to nominate one or the other. General Sherman would accept but for motives of personal delicacy towards General Grant. Still the fact is by no meant doubtful tbat he Is entirely opposed to the revolutionary ultras, and in favor of the constitutional princi ples upheld by the President. He was free to express these opinions a few days ago when in this city, and all statements to the contrary are pure inventions of the enemy. It is the aim and effort of the President to combine, as far as may be practicable, all the conservative ele ments of the country In a movement which will sweep the destructives out of existence, and save what is yet left of the CousUtution.

Federal Cemrta Caat Knjola State Courts Injunctions to Restrain Dis solved Tb Remedy In State Courts Important Decisions by Hon. Wilson HcCandless, Judge. The following declBloas are Just promulgated at PlitHburg; Jn the District Court of the United State for the H'ettern IHttrict of ttnnsilvanUt, titling in a Court of Jiankrvptry: Jn the matter uf creditor? petition to tli elare Jiuyh Campbell a bankrupt Judge McCandeis delivered tbe following opinion: I foul the grave responsibility which attaches to tbe decision abitit to be announced. In conatrulnf a new and untried statute, end establishing tbe practice to be observed In Its proper administration, there must nccetwarlly be much diversity or opinion among both lawyers and Judges. The luterests Involved are fre quently so large, and the principles so luiporUut, that Inextricable confusion must result from an un sound Interpretation of the legislation of Congress. 1 1ns Bankrupt act Is, In my Judgment, highly bene ficial to botb tbe debtor and the creditor, It was do signed to relieve the one iroiu oppressive liabilities which render him unlit to contribute to the produc tive wealth of the couutry, nod It allords to the other an assurance that all the properly of the debtor, ex cept what Ironi motives of humanity be Is permitted to retalu, shall be honestly devoted to the puyment of his debts. With a fraudulent d btor It Is wisely and Justly stringent, compelling a full discovery and surrender or bis assets for the beneltt of his creditors, under peril of Imprisonment for contempt, which la the courts ol the United Btates, Is a penally not to be disregarded. The present Is a case nponlcredltors' petition, to de clare Hugh Campbell a bankrupt. Numerous acts of bankruptcy have been assigned , all of which are de nied, and a trial by Jury awarded Many Judgments or large amount, tlie val'dity of whtcn are not ques tioned, have been entered In the Court of Common Pleas ol Armstrong county, and they are all prior iu date to the period when the Bankropt law went into operation, upon final process, a snle of real estate by tbe is ben 11 has been made, and t29.290 realized and brought Into court lor distribution. Under these cir cumstances, our extraordinary power of Injunction was invoked to restrain not only the plaintiff In these Judgments, but the courts of tbe Htate and their executive officers from further proceeding, with the design to bring all the property of the bankrunt into this Court as a Court of Bankruptcy, for division among all his creditors. The Injunction against the Bheriffand tbe parties was granted, with leave in Hunter for a motion to dissolve, that we might ascer tain whether, under the Bankrupt law, we have the right to Interfere with the Courts or the state in the legitimate exerclBe ot their functions. Alter much reflection am satisfied we have not, nor with tne actors, or parties, litigating before them. Tbe first section ot the act la wide In Its scope, and would seem to bring all partlee, estates, and Interests connected with tbe bankrupt Into a common forum or centre. And lo do so, It fs contended that Congress, by Implication, conferred upon the District Courts of the United Btates the authority to suspend all and every proceeding elsewhere, and to command obe dience to their mandates, exclusive of all other Juris dictions. This, by virtue ot the flflh clause, ot tbe eighth section , of the first article or the Constitution or the United States, granting the power "to establish uniform laws, on lbs subject of bankruptoles.ttirougri ont the United Btates," Congress had the right to do, but they have not done so. Btarlng tbem In the face was the Act of the Id of March, 17U3, section 5, expressly declaring, "nor shall a writ of Injunction be granted to stay proceedings in any Court of a btate." There 1b nothing In the Bank rupt law in terras repealing this statute, and the authority, conlerred by the tb section, to Issue an injunction agalnBt the bankrupt, and all other per sons, excludes the presumption tbat It Is to be exer cised without limitation. Other ''persons" here ex pressed has reference to parties interfering with the property of an individual not yet adjudicated an In voluntary bankrupt, and which Is to be preserved Inviolate, until his bankruptcy has been legally ascer tained. It dees not refer to the Courts of a State, or to their executive ofllcers. It was not designed to arrest tbe whole machinery of auoiher, and inde pendent forum, which Is exercising Its best efforts to rxarbbalthe assets of the deotor, and alter discharg ing the legitimate Hens to which they are subject, reserving the residue, as a fund, for tbe assignee ia bankruptcy, J, lens, by this law, as they should be, are held sacred. To say that tbe vlicilaut creditor, who hv i,ih diligence nassecured .his debt, and has a valid Ilea nnon the urouertv of the bankrupt, shall come In with all the other creditors, pro ruin, would be a 1 er verslou of tbe purposes of Congress la the passage of the act. No r'gbt acquired by the creditor Is affected or Impaired 1 be 14to section expressly protects nim. Tbe assignee has authority, under the direction of this Court, to aiHcnarge any Hen upou any properly. rent or personal, ana is aumorixea o sen tne same. tvojeci to bucu lien or umnr iiuiuuioninun, jy tae 151 h Bfct.on Le is permitted to sell all utncumoeref est a es, real and personal, on snch terms as be thinks most for tbe interest or tne creaitnrs. wnere mere is a lit n on rral or personal property, the Joth section admits the holder of tne lien, as a creditor In bank ruptcy, for tbe biftance olthe debt, after deducting the value ot the property, to be ascertained by agreement or sale, or the creditor may release or convey his claim lo tbe assignee, and be permitted to prove his whole deb' In bankruptcy. These several sections are distinct recognitions by Cougress of the sanctity of ileus obtained before the Inception of proceedings in bankruptcy, and they control and are a limitation of the sweeping pro visions of the first section. It is among the elemen tary principles with regard the Construction of sta tutes, that every section, provision, and clause of a statute shall be expounded Lby a reference to every other. The most general and absolute terms of one section may be qualified and limited by conditions and exceptions contsined In another, so that all may stand together. All liens then remain Intact. Tbe bankrupt's finxl ceititicate operates to discharge his person aud future acquisitions while at the same time the mortgagee or other lien creditor shall be permuted to have their satisfaction out of the properly mortgaged or Subject to lien. A legal right without a remedy would be an anomaly In the law. (7 Howard, U.) It Is true that the first section ol the act declare that the Juusdiction conferred on the District Cojit of the United states snail extend "to all cases and controversies arising between the bankrupt and any creditor or creditors, wbo shall cWlin any debt or demand under the bankruptcy." But as the Supremo Court of the United Hates say, in that very able opinion dellveied by my brother. Mr. Justice drier, in the case of Beck vs. Jennes, before quoted lu 7 Howard, tlie Court of Common fleas of Armstrong county save full and complete jurisdiction over the arties ana tne subject mat'er. ana tut jurisdiction ad attached long beiore any act of bankruptcy was coinnjltied. It is an independent tribunal, nut deriv ing ltsautborlty from the same sovereign, and, as re- garas toe uistriot court, a foreign forum, in every way its equal. The District Court has do supervisory power over it. When the inrlsdletlon of a Conrt. and the rlsrht of a plaintiff to prosecute his suit in It, have onoe attached. mat riguicantiot oearretteo or taKen away by pro ceedings In another Court.

Neither can one take property rrom tne custooy or ine otner oy replevin or other itroctM, for this would produce a conlllct of Jurisdiction extremelv embarrassing In the admin istration of justice. Tbe fact, therefore, that an in junction issues only to the partie before the Cout, ana not to tue coutt itseir, is no evasion of the dim culiles that are the necessary result of n attempt to exercise that power over a party who Is a litigant in another aud Independent lorum. it follows, theretore. that thla Court has no super visory powfr over the Court ot Common Plets of Armstrong county, by injunction or otherwise, unless ll Is conferred by the Baukrupt law. But we cannot d Iscover any provision lu that aoi which llmim the Jurisdiction of the (State Courts, or confers auy power on the Bankrupt Court to super-tede their jurisdiction, or wrest property from the custody of tneir turners, un tue contrary, it provides, lu the Htli section, that the assignee "may prosecute and di fend all Mills at law, or'.in equity, pending at the time ol the adjudication of bankruptcy, in whli h tuch bank rupt it a party. In his own name. In the sme manner and t' lYA the like efftct, as they might have bean prose cuted or d. tended by such bankrupt." In other wordu, as to the estate and property of the bankrupt, the asslguee Is subrogated to all his rights ami reaiionsi bllliits. The actsenda tbe ussignee to the Hlate Court, and admits Its power over him. It confer no au thority on this Court to restrain proceedings therein by injunction, or other procens, much lefs to lake pro perty out uf lis custody or posBeBSlon with a strong hand. Finding no such grant of power, either in direct terms o. by necessary Implication from any or the provisions of the Kaukruot law, we are nut ft liberty to Interpolate it ou any supposed grnundi ol policy or expediency. We shall therefore be compelled to dis solve this and all other Injunctions lu similar oases, I have not submitted this opluiou lo my Brother Orirr; hut It may be a aource ol grallltoutlon to learn that, sitting wllh him recently, at Circuit, In Phila delphia, we couferred upon this case, and I am pleased to say that we concurred in the legl princi ples upon which It should be decided, liiliiiii-linn diasolved- Thls case was argued by Mr. Patterson lor, and by Mr Painter, Mr. Uolden, and General foster agaiust the Injunction.

It was alleged at the argument that the note, of Which thie Judgment is predicated, was given under Eromlse not to sue out a writ of execution, but to be eld ss a security, and to afford the firm, of whloh the bankrupt was a partner, an opportunity to make some arrangement with their creditors. That lo vio lation ot this agreement, and m fraud of the thirty fifth section of the Bankrupt law, the Judgment was entered, execution Issued, and levy made. Before the date fixed by tbe Pherirf for bis sale, we were asked, hy petition, to enjoin the Clarion Back and tbe hlierlfr from proceeding further with their writ, and directing them to deliver the property upon which the levy was made to the assignee In bankruptcy. This we did. st tbe same time admonishing the coun sel of the doubts entertained as to tbe power of this Court, and suggesting a motion to dissolve, which waa granted. Upon this point they have been fully heard, and the question bas been decided to-day In Camp bell's case. It was urged, with great force and ability, hy the counsel for the bankrupt, that we were bound to In terfere, by Injunction, because this was not a valid Judgment. But how do we know tbat T It Is entered In a court of competent Jurisdiction, whose authority It is our duty to respck If It ia fraudulent, or void unoer the bankrupt law. It Is tbe province of the as signee In Bank ruptcy, who stands In the altitude of a defendant, to see. In that forum, that no Injustice is done to the general creditors. By the Urst section of the fourth article of the Con stitution of the United Mates, it Is declared that "full fal'h and credit shall be given In each HUte to the ptib'ic acts, records, and Judicial proceedings of evsrv other Htato." And Ibis is equally binding on the courts of tbe United states. We must, therefore, refer the assignee In bank ruptcy, as the representative ot the defendant, aud ot all the creditors, to the court ot Common fleas ol Jef ferxon county. Injunction dissolved.

Baltimore, Get, 16. Chief Justice Chase, sitting in the Circuit Court this morning, ren dered his decision in a habeas corpus case on the petition ot Elizabeth Turner, a mulatto girl apprenticed under the Negro Apprentice law of Maryland in 18C4, immediately after tbe Consti tution of that year abolishing slavery went into operation. I The judgment was that the articles of inden ture, varying from those prescribed by the law for white apprentices, were therefore void under the Civil Rights law. The Civil Righta act was pronounced constitutional, and the petitioner was accordingly discharged from the custody of tbe master. The case was argued only on the side of the petitioner, the respondent declining to employ counsel, and leaving his caee with the Court. Judge Giles, the District Judge, previously declined to entertain petitions of habeas corpus in similar cases. The above decision will, if enforced, liberate every negro appren tice held under the laws of Maryland. The Chief Justice only came over to try this case. lie returns to-day. EUROPE.

In 1863 tbe secular revenue amounted to $11,346,311, and the expenditures to $12 487,412. The army comprised ostensibly 21,0,)!) men, but the effective army was rated at 12,828. But a disastrous change was inaugurated in I860. In March of that year the people of the Emliian provinces of the Papal States were called upon to decide by vote whether they would be annexed to the constitutioual mon archy of Victor Emanuel II, or form a sepa rate kingdom. Au overwhelming majority wa; rlveu in favor of annexation. The entire two B cilles decided ou October 5, by a vote of l,310,000out of 1,420,000, upon their annexation to the kingdom of Ititly. On tbe 26th of the same month King Tictor and Garib ildl made their famous e j try iuto Naples, possessing the Neapolitan provinces. Umbrla and the Ward of Ancona had also voted for annexation. Victor EmaDael found himself, with these acces sions, sovereign of Sardinia, the Sicilies, and all Italy, with the exception of Savoy and Nice, Which has since been surrendered to his Gov ernment through Frauce, and the present re duced Papal dominions, which were occupied and protected by French troops until 1866. The temporal Papal domain now consists of the eommarea of Rome and the provinces or legations of Civitae Vcchia, Frosinone, Viterbo, and Velletri. Tbepe include 4500 square miles and about 700,000 inhabitants. The Papal army ia perhaps 18,000 strong, and is made up of foreign mercenaries, principally French, Swiss, and Irish. Iu 1864 the income of the Govern ment was $14,600,000. .The expenses were $16,600,000. The chief income is derived from the "Peter pence" contributions levied uoon Catholics throughout the world. The public debt amounts to $100,000,000. The former and present area and population of the Roman States thus present the following contrast: Area tquar mile.
