VIEWS OF a cAB1S;iE.Tt OFFICER.

Some of the newspapers have had a
great deal to say about the "tReVolt of
/ the Radicals against the Presidents
supposed policy of reorganization.
| They would be still moro concerned if
Fthey should hear of PresidentJ ohnson's
revolt against the same policy.
! That there has been a Widespread ap-
I prehension in the Administration, party
I on the subject of provisional Govern
mcnts" everybody knows. That for
/ time this led to an apprehension, less
general, land less now than Il month
I ago, y concerning President johnson
himself, is undeniable. Butt doubt if
There ever was any sufficient cause for
/ il; and feel sure that if such demon-
STATIONS as Wade Hampton'S and Gov.
PcrFy'S continue, there will be, by the
meeting OfCOngress, none whatever.
Some remarks made last night 10y II
conspicuous cabinet officer on this SUBJ
lject. go right to the bottom of the dis
trust referred to. [ had been speaking
of it; and finally said, "What the sup
porters ofthe Administration want to be
assured of is, that the President has no
intentention ofpurSuing the Provisional
Government policy, if between this and
the meeting of Congress it should be
ION that SCORE" replied the Cabinet
officer, "there need be, lam convinced,

"Will the President then give his in
tIuence i'll favor of Negro Suffrage ~
PERSONALLY, the President is at least
not hostile to negro suffrage. You
know what he said to Chase, and sub
sequently to sumner. do not believe
he has in this or any other aspecCofthe
reorganization question, changed his
opinions an iota since he first Expressed
them. But he believes now as then,
that the General Government cannot
interfere in determining who shall be
voters in State. II, therefore. the
States should come up next December,
nobiectiUnablyr re organized in every
particular, save that of negro suffrage,
that alone will not he sufficient to keep
the Administration from giving its in
tluence to the admission of their Sena-
btOrs and Representatives."
$50 much is generally understood.
But If the present aspect of affairs i'll
the rebel States Shonld lcontinue-if it
should be evident that the late rebels
were still practically mt the head of the
Government, would the almost all-poW-
erful Executive influence then go into
the Hobbies of the House to force this or
that obstinate Inelnberto vote for the
admission ofthpse Representatives? p"
