No'NN uuth tue ARMY b0dll DP pdCbu Ou peace
footing, and the country be restored to tran
guilty and perfect civil rule.
The only names ] have heard mentioned In
connecton with the eAttorney-Generalship are
those OF Judge Stansbury and Reverdy johnson.
Montgomery Blair is talked of in connection
with the Post Office Department, but with
scarcely any degree of authority. 1t is even
doubtful if his friends will press him for the
vacancy, IL being considered impoltic to do so
at this time.
The "Insinuative Little Villain" is sore over
his defeat on the sensati onal Cabinet reconstruc
ton matter. He treats the events of the past
few days with sublime imperturbability. Here
are few melodious slaves from his great Con.
servative Republican organized we say the
Times ?-of to day.
THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
The Republicans in resolving that the pro-
ceedings of the caucus of last night should oe
kept secret met with the success which usually
attends selt-denylng ordinances OF TINS kind. 1t
is due to tue enterprise OF one paper that the
manner in which 1t procured its accounts should
be made known. Its correspondent states with
no apparent desire for concealment, that finding
the dOorkeeper OF the reporters gallery slightly
mellow from frequent potations, he procured
his consent to crawl under one OF the benches
In the gallery, where he remained, and In that
highly honorable but somewhat inconvenIent
position he made notes of the proceedings
upon the floor below.
Whatever inaccuracies may appear in his re-
port are excusable, considering the attitude he
was forced to maintain, and the limited nature
of rhe facilities which the doorkeeper had placed
at his disposal. Another papers report is so
thoroughly fictitious as to forbid the suspicion
that its reporter was even under the bench. At
all events, not under one inside the hall. In
what II says OF Mr.. Raymond, this paper as
usual, INDUCES in wholesale fabrication. He
was not questioned as TO the course of the Times
on the Philadelphia Convention.
He said nothing whatever about any under
ctondinU with nnVhu0V that hut hmm
men we're to participate in that Convention.
He did not admit that he had done wrong. He
reracTed nothing that he had said or written,
and made no promises for the future Tor himself
or Tor the Times, either in regard to the Conven
ton or any other subject. What he did say
might probably afford more complete and
satisfactory reputation OF the correspondents
fiction, but for the fact that the Injunction of
secresy which still rests upon the caucus, and
upon every member OF it, prevents its publica-
ton.
Still another papers statements are about as
false and malicious usual-neither more nor
less. In the appointment OF the Committee 10
consider the state of business before Congress,
it will be seen that the Chairman OF the caucus,
General Banks, selected chiefly men who are
known among the radicals themselves as being
the most extreme and intolerant in their de-
nuncations of the President. The tone of the
caucus was one of intense bitterness towards
Mr.. johnson.
RUMoRED CHANGES IN THE CABINET.
Since Tuesday last after the adjournment of
| the Cabinet, we have had continually fresh and
conflicting rumors OF changes and designations
| in the Cabinet: of stormy sessions of that body
on the supposed veto of the Freedman,s Bureau
| bill, and the call for Convention at Phi adel-
| phla, in August, etc. 1t Mas known that mme-
diately after the session OF the Cabinet on Tues
| dey, Messrs. Speed, Harlan, and Denson had
repail ed to the Office OF the Attorney General,
and after locking themselves in the room, conti-
| nued in earnest consultation fer an hour.
| Rumor nad it that this consultation was upon
| the course to be pursued by each of these dis
| affected memaers of the Administration, and it
| was stated that they, being in unison and per-
| feet accord on the questions that had agitated
| the Cabinet, and being in opposition to the
| A-csident. and the remainder of his Cabinet had
determined simultaneously to send in their re sig
| nations, and thus terminate their connection
| with the Administration. 1t was further stated
| that the Executive Committee of the National
| Union Club had sent their circular to each OF
| the members OF the Cabinet, with a request that
| they would severally signify their approval or
disapproval of the proposed convention a. Phila-
| delohla, and that this had been subject OF
| mrch wrangling and trouble among the men,
| bers OF the Cabinet, and was in fact the imme-
| diate cause of the agitation among them. All
| day yesterday we had the report here that Gov.
| ernor Denison had resigned, but failed to trace
| it TO any reliable sourse.
| 1t appears now that very few of the above
| recited rumors approached the truth. 1t Is true
that the circulars were received, as stated; that
| Speed, Harlan, and Denison consulted, and the
| latter resigned; but the circulars did not pro-
| duce a disturbance, nor was there any trouble
| about q veto, etc. The causes of dIsatfeCtion
are Of very different character from those sug-
| gested in the rumors above set forth.
GOVERNOR DENIsoNis RESIGNATION.
Yesterday morning Governor Denison sent
| to the President his resignation as member OF
| the Cabinet, to take effect whenever Mr.. John.
son notifies Mr.. Denison of his acceptance of
| the resignation. As yetno such notification has
| been received by the Postmaster-General, and
1t is believed severa days will elapse before the
| President disposes of the matter. The causes
which induced Governor Denison to take this
| step are purely political. He freely and openly
| avows his high estimation and personal regard
| for Mr.. Johnson, and asserts that he knows that
the President is actuated by pare patrio ism aud
/ a sense of duty as he understands his obligation
| under his official oath and as citizen of the
United States.
| Nevertheless, Governor 'Denison. finding that
the President is opposed TO the proposed amend
| ments to the Constitution, while the party in
Ohio to which Governor Denison belongs, and
to which he feels bound to adhere, is in favor OF
them, ana finding also that the President favors
August, while the Postmaster General Is op-
posed to the conyening and purposes OF that
| Convention. Governor Denison felt that it
was his duty to withdraw from the Cabinet.
| Recognizing, as he does, The impropridty OF a
| member of that body remaining when he dis
covers that he is not in perfect accord with the
sentiments OF the Executive.
/ The determination to withdraw from the Caoi-
net was formed by Governor benson while ne
was upon q visit to his State some two weeks
| ago, and his action was not governed oy any
thing that has recently taken place IN ms con.
nectlon with the Administration. Nothlng OF
an unpleasant character has occurred between
him and Mr. Johnson or anY member OF the
Administration, and. as before stated, the resg-
nation of Governor Denison Is placed enurely
