so complete as was Mt first supposed. The
immediate friends of Mr.. Stansbury assert
that that gentleman predicatcd his accept
ancc Of the Attorney Gencralship upon the
retention Of Mr.. Stanton in the Cabinet, in
which he was backed by very strong and
influential western influences. stanton,
on being applied 10, promised, II retained,
to come out squarcly and uncqulvocally IN
support of the Presidents policy. Ills IN
structions TO General Thomas refusing
military interference in the affairs OF the
Tennessee Legislature are cited as an evil
dcnCc Of this arrangement. III Is also posi-
lively promised that a letter Will shortly
opucar from Mr.. Stanton in reply TO Scna-
tor Doolittle's circular endorsing the Phlla-
drlulia Convention and all the general
Textures OF Mr.. JohnSon's administration.

mcnt has been brought about in response
ia the pitcous appeals of the Secretary OF

is positively afraid to leave the ONCE as

assertion that they are traceahle direct 10

GARNET DINNER PARTY.
Secretary Seward gave dinner party
last evening to the members and eX-mem-
bcrs of the Cabinet, Secretary Harlan only
hcinc absent. The gathering was purely
social one.
TIE JOHNSON CONVENTION.
George Francis Train is at Wizards,
holding lcvccs and granting audiences TO
all who desire TO participate in the Phila-
dclphia Convention. He has prepared a
speech, with which he designs to commence
the performance. 1t will be ready for
distribution a week ahead, with cap
plausc,' " CHEERS" and daughter" libc-
rally inserted in the proper places. He
SwcarS there shall be at least one man in
the Convention who neither holds nor
wants ali Office.
1t comes from good authority that the
managers of the Philadelphia Convention
will make the Hon. Thomas Ewing, of
Ohio, President Of the Convention. Gene
raj Dix wrote his reply to Doolittlc's letter
BATTERED by the idea of getting the propo-
sition, but Hendricks, Niblack, Blair Co.
assert that Dix is OF no account. They
want stronger man. In fact, there is
great trouble in the camp of the Prcsi-
dents supporters, rs the Presidents pri-
vatc secretary, Colonel Cooper, said in
conversation the other day that the admis-
sion of Tennessee iuto the Union by Con-
crcs> had upset all the plans Of President
johnson.
The >o-callcd Conservative Republicans,
headed by Raymond, Doolittlc x Co.,
groan over the anticipated admission OF
Fernando Wood, James Brooks, Benjamin
Wood, and the similar crowds of Copper
heads as delegates to the Philadelphia
Convention. The President, too, is alarmed,
and il j. said that he proposes sending Doc
little and Browning 10 New York city to
fix matters. Their mission will be to see
Dean Richmond, Samuel Tildcn, llaSkinS,
and others, and have them keep Fernando
Wood and party ont Of the Convention.
The President is afraid that if too many
rank C"ppcrh"ads get in, il will look bad,
and people may suspect that all Is not
right.
Fernando Wood confidently asserts that
the patronage "l' the New York custom
house, surveyors and post Offices will hc
given to Mozart Hall, after the adjourn
mcnt OF the Philadelphia Convention, 10
countcrbalancc the city patronage ofTam-
many Hall. Surely matters are coming to
an interesting turn.-dree,'Y.
PAWS AND THE ASSASSINATION PLOT.
II is not decided whether the House Jul
dietary Committee will report on the jeff.
Davis case or not. So far, they have come
10 the conclusion that the evidence tends
- involve Davis in the conspiracy TO a.
>aS>inatc President Lincoln, but that the
chain Of testimony is not sufficient TO sIs-
tain the charge on Il trial in civil court.
Several hundred pages OF evidence have
been taken during the investigations
