It is understood that at a cabinet meeting to day, the members present, upon the invitation of the rreaideut, expressed their opinions respecting the reeent report of the Reconstruction Committee. Secretaries Seward, Welles, Stanton and Mc Cullocii are reported to bare been emphatic in opposition to the plan proposed by the committee, and to be in favor of the President's policy of restoration. Secretary Harlan was rather reticent. Dennison was in favor of the President's policy, but undecided as to the Cjper time for the admission of the Southern presentaiives. The President declared himself emphatically against the plan of the committee, and opposed all conditions precedent to the admission of the loyal Representatives, in the shape of constitutional amendments, or the passage of laws on that subject; and remarked in general terms that if the organic law is to be changed at all, it should be done at a time when all the States and all the people can participate in the alteration.

That body will probably not do so; and if not done, the Johnson appointee will appeal to the United States Court to put him in the place, and the question will then be settled whether the President possesses the right to remove an officeholder and put another in his place without the consent of the Senate, while that body is in session. The Trial or Ma. Davis.?A considerable diversity of opinion is expressed with reference to the trial of Mr. Davis. Somo correspondents -tllcge he is to be tried at an early day. while others think the trial will be postponed till some distant period.

Tub Mystkribs or piucauo?As the winter's ice breaks up on the lake shore and in the river at Chicago, a great many dead bodies are fished out of the water by the citizens.
