WASHINGTON, September &c.
REMOVAL OF SECRETARY STANTON.


REMOVAL OF SECRETARY STANTON.
| can announce, think, without fear of
being contradicted, that Mr.. Lincoln is now
trying to do what he has hitherto failed to
accomplish, which is to effect harmony in
his cabinet, and to obtain thereby control
which he has not yet been able to exercise.
The men who, by their independence Of
character and their spirit Of combativeness,
such as Mr.. Chase and Mr.. Blair, stood in
the way of the fulfllment of his plans,
have either been removed or received the
cold shoulder Those who are still in his
way will soon share the same fate. Among
the latter I hear mentioned the name Of
Mr.. Stanton, now the only man in the cab
met who dares to raise his voice against
Mr.. Lincoln's wishes. All the Others have
Welded and are merely tools in his hands.
Since the departure of Messrs. Chase and
Blair the unfortunate Secretary Of War is
alone in the opposition to the President
and, has the greatest trouble to make de
cent figure in presence of the crushing ma
iority which the unien Of all his colleagues
and the prepondering weight Of Mr.. Lin.
coins influence carry against him. In all
probability he will resign his seat before
long or receive, as Mr.. Blair did, tho order
to leave. "That his time has come"
HIS PROBABLE SUCCESSOR.
The man whom the voice Of the radicals,
into whose hands Mr. Lincoln has fallen,
points out as his successor is General
Banks. The general is said to be on his
way now, with the promise of receiving
Mr.. Stanton's position Immediately after
the October elections, if they prove favo-
rable to Mr.. Lincoln. In this way the lat
ter expects to have on his side the MAORI
ty of the Massachusetts, politicians, and of
the abolitionists who have until this day
looked upon him with distrust. This shows
you from what point the wind blows, and
gives you al inside view of the future poll
cy cf Mr.. Lincoln's administration for the
next four years, should he be allowed to
run another term.
RuMoRs ABOUT MONTGOMERY BLAIR.
The friends of the late Postmaster Gen
eral are very much incensed at NJ. Lincoln
for his treatment of that officer. Mr.. Lin
coin acknowledges that he has no fault to
find, either on personal or on public grounds,
with Mr.. Blair, and so the reason Of his
removal must be traced to another cause
The Rockville, Nd, speech, in which MIR.
Blair exposed the secret designs Of the rad
cals to bring about an intermingling Of
the two races, is the true cause Of bis dis.
grace. Had he favored the new-fangled
doctrine Of miscegeDation, he would have
been allowed to remain in the cabinet but
the radicals had determined to allow no per-
son to have the ear of the President who
was not in favor Of the absolute equality
and blending of the races. Mr.. Blair is
personally a warn friend Of General Nc.
Clellan, and has high appreciation Of his
abilities. There are those who say that 1t
is not improbable that he may yet decide
in favor Of Little Mac. Indeed, there are
rumors current in Washington to the effect
that he will do so before the Pennsylvania
election, notwithstanding what may be said
to the contrary.
Montgomery Blair, in al letter to an af
ternoon paper, says:
"My offers to resign were not made be.
cause the principles adopted at Baltimore
were Objectionable to me; but, on the con
trary, it was made in good faith, with a
view to allay animosities among the faiends
of those principles, and in order to secure
their triumph"
Mr.. Blair will, by request Of the Presi'
dent, continue in Office till his successor
qualities. Nothing has yet been heard oi
Governor Dennison, who is canvassing
Ohio at present; where there is no tele-
graphic communication. No doubt is en-
tertained that he will accept the Office.
GOVERNOR DENElsoE AND THE PosToFFIcI
DEPARTMENT.
Governor Dennison, OF Ohio, has not ye
signifed his acceptance Of the Postmaster

however, but that Governor Dennison vii
