Tha new English ruinibtrv has been

given up his portfolio to the President,
who promptly accepted it, and appoint.

in Iiis stead.
Postmaster General Dcnnlson Kent
in his resignation one day hist week to
the President, which was promptly nc.
ccpted. It is said that .Stanton, Speed
and HarUin will soon follow suit. Hon.
A. W. Randall has been appointed as
successor to Dcnnison.
The stone that marked tho grave of
a little son of Jefferson Davis, who died
nt Richmond during the war, has been
carried off probably by one of the
loyal Southerners " who intends to be
a delegate to tho canine convention of
Botta, Underwood, Hamilton & Co.
The President has returned to
Congress without his signature tho bill
extending the powers of tho Frecdmcn'a
Bureau. His objections are that the
bill is a violation of tho Constitution
and inconsistent with the welfare of the
country. His objections throughout
are mainly the same as those he gave
for vetoing a similar measure some
moths ago. When the bill was return
ed to Congress it was passed over his
veto.
The War News from Europe are
important, but tho dispatches are so
miserably jumbled that it is impos&iblo
to make a correct summary. Tlu. latest
advices give tho report of a naval battle
on Lake Garda in Silesia, between the
Austrians and Prussians, ia which the
Austrians were defeated.
Gitchin, an Austrian city, has been
captured by the Prussians, and the Aus
trian army under General Bencdck, to
tally routed.
There can be no doubt that Den.
nison, Speed, Harlau and Stanton havo
delayed their resignations at tho instance
of the Disuniooists, in order to help the
Disunion cause as much as they could
clandestinely. It is cunently reported
that Harlan, the preachor, (!) if uot
others of those truckling Cabinet officers,
has been in the habit of advising the
secret Disunion caucuses of all that
transpired in Cabinet Councils and un
der official observation. Had they been
honorable men they would havo vacated
long ago.
The Disunion amendment holds
out a bribe to the Southern people to
make the necroes voters, and Hvos to
Congress power to enforce "equality of
ngois oy appropriate legislation."
Between the two. nepro stiffi-aon ami
equality are bound to follow. Nothing
oui me political cieteat ot tin Iluuip
