There will be no Cabinet chauges unless the Secretaries resign peremptorily, which is im? probable until after a new election.

(Signe!) HUGH MCCULLOCH, Secretary of the Treasury. The Light House at South Point, Marsh Island, one of the Shell Keys, Louisiana, was destroyed during-the recent storm. In considering the question regarding Southern railroads, Genoral Graut expressed himself to the effect that they have been managed with great energy, and that the inability to pay the indebted? ness lo the Government arises from causes be? yond the control of in an a RP r.s. He favors an extension of time hi all cases. The Herald contains tb? following analysis of the Ohio elections : At tho election of Congressmen in Ohio last year the Republicans carried sixteen out of the nineteen districts in the State. The Dem?? crata electee! fhnir ?onJnliilp. in ?1.. r.tl., lHk omi 13th Districts ; the latter by a majority of 271, which Columbus Delano, the defeated candidate, is now contenting. At the election on the 8th instant tho Democrats carried twelve out of the nineteen dis? tricts, and came, within 100 of carrying twp or three others. In the two districts carried. hy them last year and not contested, their majorities increased from 2652 to 5264 in the 6th dis trie i and from 3210 to 6002 in the 12th district, while in the 13th, which is being contested, the Democratic majority in? creased from 271 to 1849. In every Republican district the majorities are cut down immensely. In the seventh district, which gave Samuel Shellaberger 2171 majority last year, the Radicals escaped with a bare 95 ma- ' jority at tho recent election; while in the eighth district the majority was reduced from 1852 to 1862. In the second district the Radical candi? date waa defeated by nearly 1000 votes. General Carey, his successful opponent, although person? ally in favor of negro suffrage; ia opposed to forcing it upon any State, and pledged himself to the democracy to oppope any measures looking to the passage of the bill by Congress enfranchis? ing the blacks either in the North or South; he may, therefore, be regarded as an opponent of the Congressional policy of reconstruction. The most significant feature about these districts is the revolution in the tenth, which district ia rep? resented by J. M. Ashby, member of Congress, who brought in articles of impeachment against th? President. As will be seen, the Republican loss is 2041, giving the Democrats a majority of 124 in the district. From Richmond. RICHMOND, October 15.-The Committee of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad have returned from Washington.

My Dear Sir,-I am much gratified to find that my views meet the approbation of Mr.-and of yourself. Thoy are the matured opinion of close observation of the wants of the country. That they should accord with the principles of my former Democratic associates is not remarkable as they are Democratic as was democracy betbre ii became conservatism under the manipulations of Fillmore, George T, Curtis, Winthrop. Josiah Randall, and persons of their opinions, wno never drew a Democratic breath. The democracy most look to tbs Radical and Republican party'for the resuscitation of its true principles as applied to men as men. With us all true Democrats will ultimately be found who believe in equality I Of right, equality of power, and equality of taxation under the Government, to every man, who by the Constitution has the high position of American ci ti K o? i. My hopes or o spec tat i on H of political pre? ferment have nothing to do with my political views. 1 must go forward speaking the truth in politics as in other matters, and the more unpopu? lar-if I find them Just and true--tho more surely will I declare them; This ia not the kind of- stuff Presidents have been made of, and it is more than doubtful whether they will aver Lo made of sterne* stuff. HaveX not answered your question whether I should make a Irood candidate for the Presi? dency)? I will not say with Clay, that "I hid rather be right than be 1 resident," becau se he was wrong and not President besides; but 1 will say that I would not sacrifice my independence-of thought and action to be President ten times o\?rv sad that is not saying mach, seeing what BOT"of n-^n we have had, and may possibly have, to1 fill that now degraded place. BENJ. F. BUTLER." COLUMBIA, October 12,18G7. To the Editor of the Charleston Daily Newt. ) Tbo calculation of two million live hundred thousand bales of cotton, as made for this crop, appears to be a liberal estimate, and that buyers base their purchases on that estimate at low prices. Now the quest'on is, at tba prices the ar? ticle is selling at,'how hinch will Le obtained at prices less than the planter can afford to make it, which we consider aa present rates? My own opinion in that at 1 caat one million balen will be held over until next season, under any cn dun? stan CON leas than an advance in price; and so much as is hald over will be so mach lesa planted next season; for at the present price in depreciated money nt a discount of forty-five per cent., and with the unjust tax, it will not net the planter Dine cents. It cannot be made at that in this State, nor dffcjj behove in any other, ander the present system of labor, as the planters next year will have to discharge most of their hands. With two amah banka, w hoso capitals ara about "our to five hundred thousand dollars, and the rate of exchange on New York one sind a half per cent, for fifteen days, or thirty-six per cent, per annum, the plantera will have to quit or lose what little they haye loft. Thoy hayo no resourca un? less foreign capital will aid them hy an advance on shipments, which, at the pr o sent low price a, must be safe, and I then confidently look for a reaction and aa advance in prices. The factors have done all they could to t assist tho planter, and it is tho duty of the latter to send forward their cotton and relieve them, for the' times are shard, and they now require all their moans. SUBSCRIBER The Springfield Republican tells its own party some plain troths when it. saya: "There are no excuses or paliations to be offered. The Republicans of Ohio have declared that they do not believe ia equal suffrage aa u, right. The j are willing to aid in forcing it upon tho South, in order to secure loyal reeojistrnatiori and j Republi? can ascendancy in that section^ butt tfcey, deny itfto their own colored cit?zeria, because ' thoy feel strung enough without their votes. This is the Whole case, and there are no means of warding off the derision and contempt it pra^pkea.'' CORRUPTION IN THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.-J The Herald of Thursday in ita leader says that the Treasury Department, from the time Mr. \ Chase became Secretary up, ia. unparalleled for the number and amount of frauda cprarnitted. The sum lost by the Government and extorted from amount oFcorrupt?on^aud^re^ery, arid at the reck- ^ less mismanagement of the Treasury. When the war closed the Confederate Government owned a hundred thousand bales of cotton this side of the Mississippi, which became, of course, the propertv of the United States Government ; yet not ,t*n I thousand bales or their 'proceeds ever cams to the Government. "What did that army of agents of Mr. Chase and Mr. McOullooh do with the. cotton where are the prcoe*ds?i BejHe<(r t|H0,|w^an dred thousand balea belonging to private individu? als were seized by Treasury agenta.

SICKXES'S COURT OF INQUIRY DENIED-TBK TREASURY NOTE COUNTERFEITS. WABHINQTON, October 18.-Already wc have bad a visitation of tho advocates of Cabinet reorgani? zation, incited by tho successes of tho Domocrats in last Tuesday's elections. Intelligouco of tho coming of others from New York and elsewhoro lids roached this oitv, and it tho reports can be re? lied upon tho President, if he still givo ear to all who como, is to bc engrossed with this disturbing subject for the next two weeks or more. Three Democrats of influence and power ia their party have hacLseparato interviews with Ur. Johnson ob the subject within the past twenty-four boure. They say that the President must plano lus ad? ministration in more direct accord with tho Demo? crats, who a re his only friends that the Demo? cratic party has sustained him as against the ex? treme Radicals, and by ita late victories effectually stayed tho bands of those who threatened im? peachment and inst ant deposition ol' t he Executive; that it would inspiro confidence among his friends if Mr. Johnson should infuse warmer blood into the Cabinet, and to that end they suggest an eutiro change, or at leant thal three or four of tho presont members should bo supplanted. The fact that the President hears those proposi? tions is taken generally as indicating a determina? tion on bin part to adopt them, and it is telegraph? ed heuce accordingly. AB yet there ia no positive assurance of a dispo? sition on tho part of Mr. Johnson to bring new mon into bis councils, except in the War Depart? ment, as heretofore stated, though it ?B within the rango of probability that,-yielding to the pressure, oom?) two or three members may be retired within a mont li. The republicans here expect that the Cabinet will be harmonized in support of the threatened Presidential coup oVetatf and they se? riously "iv Meit the aspect of affairs ia fraught with great danger. Ther fear that Congress may convene in bold and defiant spirit, aud adhere lo tho declared poli? cy ot extreme men of impeachment, and suspen? sion of tho President during trial; and siuce the election? more than over they believe Mr. Johnson will?esisi. with force, if nocussary, to maintain his constitutional right to bold the office until a judg? ment niter trial. Others, however, argue that the effect of the elections has been to settle these grave questions, and that impeachment will find fewer advocates at the next session than were counted in the last. General Sherman telegraphs that he will leave Now York to-morrow morning for tho Weat, to re? sume command of his department and-act aa one of tho Peace Commissioners. General Sheridan had two months' leave of ab? sence' granted him when called Jiere by General Grant. 'General Siokles's court ol' inquiry will not be ?(ranted, lt is argued that he baa already had his loaring in the mode selected by himself, by the publication of bia correspondence with General Grant, and his own expose of facts as he under? stood them. The bankers and brokers have been notified by thc Tren ann- Department of the peculiar features ol' the counterfeit seven-thirties. So far eighty thousand dollars of the counterfeits have been re? ceived at tho Treasury Department for conver? sion. These noten will be returned to the parties who sent thom, and the Government will lose nothing on account of the spurious issues. [Baltimore Sun. "UepnUiatlon vu. Honesty." [frownft? tTntonvhte (S. C.) Time?. MR. EDITOR: A writer over the signature of "Randolph," in the Times nf the 20th ult., haa ventilated some very startling opinions upon the aloyo subject. The writer ha? boen particularly unfortunate in the selection of his "nomme de ptume." That remarkable mau, Mr. Randolph, once startled the House by exclaiming, "Mr. Speaker, 1 have discovered' the philosopher's stone- it is, pay as yon go." A very large propor? tion of those worthy gentlemen, ''honest debtors," who have been robbed of their hard earnings, Swindled by Confederate bonds and all that, who are now clamoring for repudiation, belong to that elans who never would pay a debt as long as they' could-stave it oft and borrowed of Shylocks most beseechingly, .tbankii:g them for the accommoda? tion, und vowing that it eavod them from min. They : held on to their property to the last, and would not even sell or pao their debts when thoy could have done it With'Confederate money. Tu ore are mam, doubtless, very much to be pitied: but I pub the question to every candid man to look around bira aud Answer how many of the Vpav-as-vou-go" people are clamoring for repudia? tion? He is a poor sailor who will not roof his sails, examino tlie yards, pumps and long boat when he secy a storm coming do wi. upon him. No man in tho late struggle could shut his eyes to the dangora impending; and ho has no one to'blame but him? self, if he did not pre?ar? l?meolf foi; twa vw?t lt is ail tnuoaiii, boah and fustian to try to saddle one'a own short commis? upon Shylocks, banks, Confederate bonds and the lawyers. It is very hard to run away from one's self. Con? science is a Very troublesome companion when not quiet, and I don't wonder that gentlemen who talk of repudiation always getting out of temper and saying hard words. They don t feel satisfied with their own position, and are trying to work off the Ht earn. The whole drift of Randolph's advice is to inaugurate general dishonesty. ' Old things are done away with, all things have become new. lt will not be right to open up the dead law of the past." Never was there u more Radical, ultra agrarian sentence penned. It is true he tells you "that all honest meu will pay according to ability;" but he says moreover with a sneer, "Talk about honor when the whole people and Government are corrupt and demoralized."

Tl)a REBELLION IN CHTNA.-Our cable dispatches state that the rebels are gaining ground in China and are now seriously threatening Pekin. This Chinese rebellion bas seen many phases of defeat and success since it was first opened, in I860. Its first great leader held bis ground for a few years and then gave place to a schoolmaster, who pro? claimed himself the second Son of ? od. His rare talents enabled him to assume and retain command of the insurgents, from the fact that nearly all the adventurous foreign*?*} m*?ud??g missionaries, have joined the rebel 'standard; it ia some indica? tion that that is tho parity of progress, although it has not yet been fully determined which side is the moat inclined to shake, off the exclusiveness whioh L has heretofore -sbu?. out :the Chinese from the J world.! It was supposed that in 1857 the present government had completely overcome the rebel? lion; but lt again made serious front. The treaty which ceded the Ohiuese territory on the left bank of the Amoor to Rtts*ia,'it was rumored, bound the Russians tb assist" China in overcoming the rebelo; but up to this time no aid has been.render? ed by Russian troops. Wo have a great interest in the internal con? dition lof the Chinese empire, for we are rapidly increasing our trade with that country.

Bosk, Conn trie a. I From the London TSmet, September 27.1 We lui vc already, irr a previous article, pointed ed out the main causes ot tho irrit?t iou produced by tho publication of M. Bismarck's circular in France. We knew not to what extent WO may bo roassured as to its effocts by tho apparently softened mood of public opinion in that country. The warlike preparations ou both Bides of tho lillirie aro certainly proceeding on the largest neale; but cv..;-. thoBe who assign tho shortest pos? sible period to thc outbreak of hostilities aro now willing to allow us breathing timo till next Spring. Bctwoen this and April or May. 1868, there are at least six months, a lapse of time under, present circumstances not to be fathomed by human eve. He must bo a bold man who would foretell what may happen bi the interval. Were Fiance and Praasia to continue to strain every nerve for the coming struggle, as they have visibly been doing ever since Sadowa, next Spring would Una them both in such ii state of exhaustion as to allow them but little scope for sus? tained exertion. Even in this mad. ruinous race, however, it would be found that Prus? sia not only had tho Btart originally, but would also be able to keep ahead of her adversary by the superiority both of her military and of ber financial organization. Her breech? loaders are all ready and her treasury is tull, while in France bread is dear and the new armv bill is not popular. Such consideration woura, ot course, weigh lew than nothing if the honer of France were at stake. There are spirit m*d devotion enough lu tho French people to counterbalance all material advantages. But the tact ie; the very honor of France forbids her engaging in a contest of this nature. The war, she must teel con? vinced, would not bo waged against Prussia, but against Qorraany; not against the ambition of a monarch or a statesman, but against the as? pirations of a people. France, the champion of nationality, cannot allow it to ba/ said that either jealousy or fear of a rising nation brought her into the ' field. The prestige of her name is gone when she admits only of the possibility of a rival. That United Germany could ever become a danger (or Franco no one but France could say.
