Wendell Phillips Is fast usurping .no

h TheS Stevens IN his display OF wholesale
v;,n,..rs.,n, ~ the President and his sup
sorsrre Unlike tho representative from
s.cr however, nc finds It difficult TO
mns,cr an strong an array Of hackers as the
sasosr,,;xed head and front Of the Republic
o.n ,.srty. From this standpoint, where 90
mary representative Radicals are con-
sfanily manipulating party matters, one
can readily Judge Of tho weight which the
earnest appeals for impeachment and civil
war have when enunclated by such indi-
yiduals as are at present advocating those
doca,as. The attacks upon Grant seem to
fall still-born in the party; and as Radi-
cal observed here lately, they are not YET
premrcd 70 10 that figure. It is not i'm
probable that ere long, when the fact be-
comes clear even to the most obtuse that
Grant docs not harmonic with the revOlu-
.tionary schcmers, and will not embrace
their violent principles, We will hear from
other leaders in tho Radical camp that he
is not to be trusted and ought TO be oustcd.
One fact Is significant, and That is, there
Is cessation Of armed organizations, which
were going on SO theoretically but short
time ago. The leaders arc pausing to think
of the results Of their rashness; and this is
silver lining to the dark war-cloud which
is hanging over the political horizon. 1t is
seen that both Grant and Sherman are
with the President, and the knowledge Of
that fact induces cessation of hostilities.
Judge Cooley, the present Commissioner
Of Indian Affairs, retires from that posi-
ton on Wednesday next, and on Thursday
morning Hon. Louis v. BOgy, his successor,
will be formally introduced to the clerks
and employees Of that department.. The
bureau having control Of Indian affairs has
a very important standing just at present.
The hostile attitude Of several bands Of
Indians in remote western localities, where
no formal treaties exist, call for attention
from tho Government. The theory of their
treatment has been divided between feed
of either plan. Mr.. Bogy is said to possess
an intimate knowledge Of the duties which
will dcvolve upon him, and will doubtless
use them to o good advantage. Political
reasons alone are the cause of Commits
sioner Cooley's retirement. His ability as
q commissioner is not questioned. The
courteous terms in which his letter of re-
signation was couched stand in excellent
contrast to the passionate phillipics with
which other opponents Of the Administra-
tion parted with their official positions.
The sensation stories which were so ex-
tensively published few days ago to the
effect that this Government had effected a
treaty with the Juarez Government of
Mexico, and would have coded to it the
State of Sonora, seem to have died away.
No proposition Of this nature came from
Juarez's Ministers, and if any was made at
all, it was from outside parties who are
anxious to get possession of the Mexican
Government. The recent letter of Gene
raj Sheridan to General Sedgwick is sig
nifcaut of the fact that the Government of
the United States will recognize no other
but Juarez, the present Chief Magistrate of
the Mexican Republic, and will enter into
negotiations only with him.
It is stated here to-day that the Presi
dent will endeavor to have clemency
shown to the Fenians convicted at the To-
ronto courts. The Fenians in the District
will probably hold meeting on the sub
ject. They are very much excited over
the news from Canada.
General Sherman has already had seve-
raj interviews with the President since his
arrival here, but they have not been made
public. His mission is said to relate more to
general military affairs than otherwise.
Nothing more is said of Stanton's retire
ment, though the impression yet exists
that he will not remain in the War Depart
ment after his report is submitted to Con-
gross.
il is not thought that the Conservative
element will be very successful in the cleo
tions of next Tuesday week, although the
situation in New York is said to be brighter
than it was ten days ago. The multitude
of working Radicals in prominent official
positions, however, does not tend to help
the Administration in the least.
The weather to-day is very beautiful,
and the numerous churches arc well at
tended. The Radical barn which was
erected on Pennsylvania avenue for the
purpose of holding an orphans fair last
winter still stands, a disgrace to the locali-
ty, aud is used on Sunday for temperance
sermons, which is the only redeemable fca-
ture in its existence. On other occasions
Radical harangues and cOntraband balls
grace its interior. Z TIMoN.
