! Radical Statements In Regard 20 the Prcsi-
dent, the Cabinet, tho Message, Sec.
AS we desire our readers to be informed
relative to the views and designs OF the
Radicals In their present strait, we throw to.
gether the subioined paragraphs from their
leading paper--the New York Tribune It's
Washington correspondent says:
There will be a general caucus of Republi.
Friday night, to determine upon some definite
and concurrent course of action In view Of
the present exigencies of the Union party.
The suffrage bill for this District will be
pushed to an immediate vote In the Senate, the
Presidents veto Of the bill being, It's claimed,
already assured.
The President declared last night to party
who applied for an official appointment that
he could not have 1t without the condition OF
giving in his adherence to his policy In all It's
parts, and that this requirement will be made
in all future cases of appointment 10 office
under his administration.
The authorship of the Presidents veto
message is variously assigned. The opinion
which most generally obtains in Congressional
circles is that il il the handiwork of several
doctors, with the prescriptions q good deal
mixed. Montgomery Blair is popularity
assigned an important post in its authorship.
The statements telegraphed hence that there
is to be an immediate and general disruption OF
the Cabinet are entirely groundless, as we are
assured upon the best possible authority. At
the Cabinet meeting yesterday there was the
usual personal cordiality, although the diffe.
FENCES of opinion between those who favored
and those who opposed the veto are irreconci-
liable. The statement that Mr.. Speed Will
shortly retire, seems TO be founded on some
thing more than ordinary rumors, and is an
event quite dependent rs to time and circum-
stance upon that gentleman's own yolition.
The following dispatch from Ohio was
received here o-day. 1t is from q source emf
A faI to ynn Iph "a
1.-The people are furiously indignant. Ohio
is good TO day for fifty thousand against john
son. Great enthusiasm prevails in favor OF
Congress"
The statement that Messrs. Seward, McCul-
loch, Dennison, and Welles, sustained the Pre-
sidents veto message in Cabinet meeting is
generally credited here. 1t is said that Cabi-
net Ministers, in confidential conversations,
do not deny it.
1t is reported that Secretary Seward, Mr..
Raymond, and Representative Delano have
left this city for New York, for the purpose of
making speeches in support of the President
and his policy.
The usual Tuesday evening reception at the
White House was, because of the situation OF
affairs, denied to the public. Some OF the
jewellers at Wizards publicly drank the toast:
"The three chief Americans of the present
day-Jefferson Davis, Andrew Johnson, ana
Robert 4. Lee"
The Tribune says editorially:
Those who wish to approve the Presidents
veto and to hear Governor Seward, can
crafty both aspirations by attending the
meeting advertised to be held at the Cooper
Institute this evening.
We believe in magnanimity, lenity, and the
utmost generosity, to defeated conspirators'
and rebels. We showed this when it cost
something TO do so-when each avowal of our
convictions as to what was the true national
policy cost us at least Thousand subscribers.
We stand ready and eager to forgive them for
having been rebels if they will forgive three
or four millions of Unionists for having been
born black.
