WASHINGTON, August q, 1866.
Washington is relapsins again into Its
midsummer Quiet of antewar tines as
tar as the appearances Of life and ACTIVITY
are concerned, though rumors OF Official
changes arc now quite as prevalent as ever.
The dcnarture of the President ana most
Of his Cabinet for Chicago, which VIII take
nlacs next week, will, in all probability,
ia.x. a season of dullness Unparalleled.
Hof,rc that occurs il is almost certain that
there will be change in the War Depart
ment Judging from the present appearance
of things though, as l have before writ
ten, il is not good policy to rely too strongly
on the contamination of that event, as cX-
pcrience has taught the utter tallacy Of
Specializing upon Mr.. Stanton's movements.
II is limited to-day that he will be relieved
by General Grant; but it is not probable
that the Commander-in-C Chief will perform
the work of two Offices for any lengthy
period. The better opinion is, that sue
cessor will be appointed. Some of the
Secretary's Radical friends-who have pro-
found faith in his devotion to their princi-
ples-say that he will not accept second
class mission abroad, but that if he retircs
from the War Department he will enter
Immediately upon the practice Of his pro
fcsSion.
General Howard, the great llead-Ccntrc
of the Frcedmen'S Bureau, is evidently to
be relieved of the labors of that stu
pendous institution, the Vaccinations Of
which it was intended should be devoted
entirely to developing the radical influ-
euces more extensively during the cam
paign. A conservative man is to succeed
General Howard, who will not use the
Office he holds rs an immense radical cam
paign document.
The Jacobins are cndeavoring to make
it appear that the presence OF General
Grant at the demonstration at the EXccu-
tive Mansion on Saturday last when the OF
fetal proceedings OF the Philadelphia Con
vention were presented to the President,
was q mere stroke of chance, and that lie
was accidentally passing by, and stepped in
out of curiosity. The contrary is the truth.
General Grant was there in accordance
with q previous determination to be pre-
sent, and whether there is significance in
it or not, it is SO.
The committee Of soldiers appointed to
issue call for convention of officers and
others who endorse the Presidents policy
have, in accordance with the suggestion OF
parties in the scaboard States, changed the
location from Chicago to Cleveland, the
last place being considered Il more central
location. The officers engaged will prose
cute with vigor their cherished plan OF
reconciliation and restoration.
Not day passes now but what changes
are made in various official positions in the
different States. Few have occurred in
the departments here, but there is no
doubt but that short period will usher in
several new incumbents to places where
Radicals now hold sway. TIMoN.
