YASHINCTON. Tb Cabinet. Watinton, January 0. It Is known that ttecrrtary Wanton did not agree with tho President and the other members of the Cabinet as to the District Suffrage bill. The President Is -terinied to have a harmonlo as Cabinet; but the probabilities are that he will go on wtthout until March, and attor thai time any to trctory member who shall not have resigned will be turned out.

At the Cabinet meeting vesterdsy all the members were present. Tctmeot the meeting was mainly in discussing the schemes now pending l4 Congress for tlie reduction of the Souther States to a territorial condition. On this pot the Cabinet was naani-mous, (Stanton included, that the administra-tion. having assistcr" in the creation of the existing eovernmer i-u in iuan Kintm Hince havina st radii I CO ihnm nnilM tint Tinw ith any opnt' n. nrnnotition that Ipuored thr tAnmnvpp It.

hnillfr rhA tftstablished polie th ministration that. as a legal propr a State cannot commit tuasonor pari Jolpate in rebellion, and cannot dissolve its Minectton with the Union, and that the Gene rl Government has no power to ii 01 iue union, mese oiaies tre ow as much members of the Union and as independent ad sovereign States as New tork, Uassachusc or and can no be rr UCed to Territories than they. The I opinions expressed on tbse points "by the I various numbers of the Cabinet are understood to be ver emphatic and positive, equally so by the i 'As tr best of relations are known to exist Dii.l.l.,t Klo Unrn. tary. and as the President places the fullest confl eVrvce In the wisdom of nis management, the rumors telegraphed hence of a want of con Jdence on the part of the President are simply without foundation.

The Executive defers al' Aost entirely to Mr. McCallocli upon the test ion of the nuances, and the two are to be in tho most perfect accord on the object, Th Impeachment Resolutions. It Is not true, as stated, that the Judiciary "Ooaimittee of the Ilonse has commenced its of the charge aeainst ihe President. 33 r. Afhley was invited to come before the this morning informally, and merely in conversational way stated to them his '-rounds lor the charges he had made, and the nature of the proofs he had to sustain them.

Neither his own testimony, nor that of any onclelse, was taken on the subject, nor is the committee yet prepared to proceed with the investigation. It Is a dolicate question with then, yet to be determined, whether they wilt proceed with it or not they are authorized, but not compelled or requested to do so. They arc fully aware of the responsibilities of the case, and will be cautious in their movements, and not proceed unless they are assured reasonable grounds on which to make out a case. It is prjper to sta'e that strong influences are being brought to bear upon the committee from Republican sources to induce them to leave the snbject alone, and tbe tone of the New York papers, especially the Herald, has caused them to reflect seriously upon the matter. General Grant and the Veto Message.

It having been denied by some parties that General Grant approved of the President's veto messare, the statement is reiterated upon tho highest authority. The question of disfranchisement of Itebels was not discussed in the mes sage, and therefore its reading neither called forth an opinion on that point from General Grant nor the members of the Cabinet. The question of unqualified negro suffrage was discussed, as well as the relations of the Executive to the legislative departments of the Government, and the duty of legislators to respect the wishes of the people for whom tbey legislate; and on these points General Grant's voice was as earnest in support of the positions taken as that of any member of the Cabinet. He went further, and condemned the conduct of Congressmen in loisting upon a community that bad no representative negro suffrase, while they Tefrained from giving tuc negroes a like privi-1 ge in their own communities.

Judge Abell, of the First District Court, today delivered an Important charge to the Grand which he ably reviews the late riots and rtte causes that led to them, and quotes tbelawto show the Convention of 1861 was an illegal assemblage in 1806. It has caused much comment in political circles. An effort is being made to establish a radical "daily" in this' city, to be called the lie-publican.

The Congressional impeachment movement hns given rise to considerable excitement here in certain circles. Governor Wells announced that he will recommend to the Legislature at the coining session, i to employ penitentiary convicts, who since the war are far more numerous than before, In constructing railroads and other public works. He believed that this will be found a great relief to the Stnte treasury and greatly facilitate the building ot Ihe needed roads. Advices from the interior show that nesrroes have been verv restive during the Christmas holidays, but are quieting down since they are over.

Governor Wells Issued an order to Sherilt Parish, of NachltocliCB, which recites that William Fisher was tried and convicted before the Nluth Judicial Court ot the crime of murder, and sentenced to suffer death by hanging on a day to be fixed by the Governor.

Plymouth Church, in Brooklyn, was densely thronged Tuesday evening by the reeular attendants and others who assembled, in response to the Invitation of the trustees, to rent the pews ol tbe edifice lor the present year. The audience was provided with correct dingraffis of tbe seats, and the bidding was spirited to the close. Mr. Beecher was preseut, but took no part in the proceedings. At 7 o'clock the auctioneer, Mr.

Pillsbury, commenced the sale, and soou after the temple presented the scene of a great auction-room, with the knight ot the hammer dwelling on the rapid bids, and sounding the inevitable "going, going, gone," of his profession. During the auction there was a constant buzz of conversation, which was increased when some aspirant for a choice pew offered the highest premium for it, and thus vanquished a dozen rivals for its possession, Tbe following were the highest premiums obtained: Tew. prem.

Y. World. The Miser and Ills Bag. The London Lancet says: "A good illustra tion occurred a few days tdnce of tho strength of 'the ruling passiou' even in death. An old man in his last illness was admitted into one of the metropolitan hospitals.

He was without relatives, iriends, or apparent means of subsistence; but when undre-sed and put into bed a bag ot money wns found suspended by a string round bis neck. To this he clung with tenacity, refusing to part with it to any one, and wearing it about him by day and night. As his end approached, the treasure became a matter of anxiety to those tending him; for tbe sum was evidt ntl.v larae, and it was feared that it might oiler temptations to some patient in case the moment of his death should be unobserved. At length the hour and when death had aoparmtly cluimed him, a nurse gently the string nud removed the baz. At the tame moment the old man opened his eves and Kit instinctively for his treasure, which wus no longer in its place, lie uttered the word 'Gone and died.

Jay Cooke Co. Presented at the Fourth National Bank-On of th Parties Arrested. On Monday afternoon the paying teller of the Fourth National Bank, Mr. Samuel Conover, noticed a young man, who subsequently gave the name of Kichard MeCormack, waiting at Lis desk. On Inquiring, young MeCormack presented a check for $0909, purporting to have been drawn by Messrs.

Jay Cooke to the order ot J. F. Dean. The teller received the check, and wrote tho usual certlflcato across its face, but before he Said it his suspicions were arouspd by the con-uct of the boy: so Mr. Conover sent the check to the otlice of Jay Cooke where it was immediately pronounced a forgery.

In the meantime young MeCormack had been dctnlned, and he wns given into the custody of Detective Ober, of the Precinct. The prisoner piofessed the most profound ignorance of the real character of the check presented by him, stating also thnt he had received it from a man named Francis D. Dean, who had an office on the top floor of No. 64 Cedar street. It appears that Dean advertised for a hoy to do errands, and young McCormnck, who has been in this country only a lew weeks, was the successful applicant.

When arraigned before Dowllng at the Tombs yesterday morning, the prisoner stated that Dean had instructed him to deposit the proceeds of the check In the National Park Bank, where Deau bad opened an account, and his employer would meet him in Nassau street, near the Bank. Mr. Conover testified that the check had been presented to him for payment, and Edw ard Dodee, of the firm of Jay Coone made an affidavit that the check was a tor-reiy. It came out during this examination that Dean had succeeded in opening an account at the Park Bunk by means of forged recommendations from a well-known merchant in Gold street, Mr. A.

Wetzel, to Mr. U. L. West, tbe cashier. Dean had also sold some securities to Jay Cooke A and received their check for tbe amount, upon the signature of which he had practised when preparing the forged one.

From the evidence in the case the magistrate became convinced that the prisoner was innocent of all knowledge or intent, so he was remanded for examination, in order to allow the detectives time to look for Mr. Dean, who, it is needless to say, is still absent from his attic office. A case almost identical with this one occurred in Wall street a few months ago, when a newly arrived and half-wilted Englishman wns made the victim of an unknown 6harrer, and imprisoned for some weckx at the Tombs.

Ed. Tkle-o a Am. BRIGIIAM YOUNG. THE CENSUS OF HIS WIVES HIS FIRST, LAST, AND SEVERAL INTERMEDIATES. Mary Angell Young is the first living and wite ot the prophet.

She is a native of New York, and is a tiue-looking, intelligent woman. She is biree, portly, and dignified. Her hair is well sprinkled with the frosts of age; her clear hazel eyes and melancholy connteuance indicate a soul here sorrow reigns supreme. She has been much attached to her husband, and his infidelity has made deep inroads upon her mind. Her deep-seated melancholy often produces flights of insanity, which increase with her declining years.

Lucy Decker Seely is the firr wife in "plurality," or the second ''woman." Lucy Decker was married to Isaac Seely; ami had two children, she afterwards became a Mormon, and went to Nauvoo to reside. Her husband, Seely, was somewhat dissipated, but treated her wei'. She, however, saw Brother Briguani, and lovrd him. He visited her. told her that Seely could never give her an "exaltation'' in the eternal world; that he, being "high in the priesthood," could muke her a queen in the first resurrection.

She yielded to Inducements and the promptings of her inclinations, left her husband, and as "sealed'' to Brigham Young. Lucy Decker bus. brown hair, lurk eyes, small features, a fair skin, and is short ot stature, but quite embonpoint. She would strongly remind you of a New England wife, "fat, fair, and forty." In common with nearly all the inmates of the harem, she is of very ordinary intellect and limited education. Clara Decker, sister of Lucy Decker, is a short, thick-set person, very much like Lucy in appearance.

She is much more intelligent and iigieeable than her sister, aDd in every way her sujieiior. She is also quite a favorite with the Prophet; lir.s three or four children, aud is much attache 1 to her "husband." Harriet Cook was early In plurality, having been sealed to Brigham at "Winter Quarter1," on tbe Missouri river, while the Mormons were the way to Utah. This was five before polygamy was publiclv proclaimed in Utah as a divine institution. Harriet is very tall, has light hair, blue eyes, a fair complexiou, and snarp nose. She Is ralbtr slender, but has uch power of endurance and a look of determination.

Jrs. Waifc's "Mormon Jroph.et,n young's last wife. Dr. Adonis, after various wanderings, has turned up In Utah. In a letter from the promised land be writes, under date of November 22, as follows about Brigham Youug's last wife: saw the President's last wife at Ihe on Sunday last.

The lady's name before ti arrtuge was Maria Folsom. Her former residence was at Couucll Bluffs, Iowa. she is an iaiperlous-lookiug young beauty, ot the Greelan rather than the Roman order, and is very imperious and jealous. Like all passionate and jealous women, she is nobla-nearted. Miss rolsotu Is Brighain's last wife and pet.

Two of t'ae President's daughters play at the theatre, nud are preat favorites with the Gentile portion ot the community. One is marrl-d, Mrs. Claw-son; and the other, 'Miss Jane, Is single; but is being ailed on by a distinguished editor." Milwaukee Wisconsin. The Hungarian Legioa ia Italy. It is well known that, at the beginning of tbe late war in i uiope.

both Italy and Prussia created a corps called the Hungarian Legion, to serve as a nuc'ous lor those Magvxrs deserting from the Austrians pending hostilities. The Prussians put their legion under the command of General Klapka, the Italians under General Turr. After peace, Klapka's corps was disbanded, and he himself relumed to Paris; that of Turr In Italy was also to be dismissed. But It appears by ah announcement of the NazioneA kind of official aperof the Italian Government that through he influence of Kcsuth this will not be done now, aud the Italo-Hungsrlan Legion Is to bn. retain!
