WASHINGTON, August %, 1866.
The President, with his party, VIII leave
WASHINGTON in an early train tomorrow
on the long -thought-of tour "est""tu;
Several of his friends nave eNp'esseu
themselves very anxious iSs' some as Ssni,
should hannen: but the President himself
has no fears whatever. The trip Is essen.
g., ., b;s hcalth. rs close confinement and
on,,s,ar, interviews on Government bust
moss of NJ least sixteen hours in each day
would break him down, if no recreation
could be had. Mr.. McCnlloch cannot pos
s;hly leave the city. The business of the
Treasury Department claims his entire at
teniion. The Acknowledgement will re-
main at his desk.
1t is stated to-day upon what is consider
cd reliable authority that there will, in all
probability, be change made either in the
Office of Sergeant-at-Arm or Secretary of
the Senate when that body convcncs next
winter. Applicants for both of these posi-
tions arc far from being small in number.
| hear that Mr.. Edmunds, late Commits
sioncr of the General Land Office, who
succeeded Mr.. German as Postmaster OF
the Senate, will be put forward as Secre-
tary.
Should the Radicals succeed in carrying
the Fall elections, there is not the slightest
doub, but that they will try their hand at
impeaching the President. They have al
ready mootcd the subject, but ii is game
which would certainly he played to their
sorrow. Recent demonstrations prove con-
cluSively that two-thirds of the army are
with the Administration, and the general
officers who have signed the call for the
soldiers and sailors convention are those
who were most prominent during the war.
The Radicals are now very busy in drum
ming 10 recruits for their soldiers call.
They cxpcct to head the list with Sheri-
dan.
The inevitable negro will be more OF
practical matter in the Jack Hamilton
convention than he has been heretofore in
white mems gatherings. Several promi-
nent Radicals are urging that there be a
considerable sprinkling Of negro delegates.
Certain il is their anticipated meeting,
which is only distant q week from to-day,
does not mcctwith very general remark.
Private and Trustworthy adviccS from
Maine state that there is general uphcav-
ing Of the popular sentiment there in favor
OF the Administration. The friends OF
peace in Wisconsin are confident of the
gain of one member of Congress in that
State, and have great hopes Of gaining
two.
The opponents Of the President are
rather chagrincd that General Grant has
decided to accompany the Executive on
his trip TO Chicago. His remaining in
Washington would have given them great
capital to work campaign proceedings with.
The President to-day gave assurance to
a distinguished gentleman that the work OF
political dccapitation would commence
here in Washington in very short time.
1t will be WELL as boasts have been fire.
qucntly made that nincty-iivc per cent. of
the clerks in the various departments are
violent opposers and abusers of the Ad-
ministration. Those malignant traducers
of his character as we'll as his policy would
have met their deserts if they had been
made 10 walk the plank long ago.
The weather here has been very pleasant
Of late, to-day being warmer than any fol-
the past week. The city continues very
healthy. TMoS.
