Exciting News from the CaPlsOI-RadI-
cal scheme TO ImPeaeh and Depese the
Notwithstanding Stanton Plays n
Sharp Game-He Must Resign.
Nav YORK, Oct. 23.-The Herald's Wash
iDgton special details an alleged discovery of
the Radicals toimpeach and depose the Presi-
dent. A large force of the Boys in Blue
were to be sent to Washington to protect and
aid Congress in its schemes. A general dis
tribution of arms throughout the West his
been made by the Radical Governors. The
story is startling, if true.
The Herald's Washington special says ::
The facts regarding the rumored resigna-
ton of Secretary Stanton are as follows: He
is now engaged in making out his report, and
as soon as it is finished he will undoubtedly
retire. His resignation has been precipitated
by the discovery lately made that Mr.. STAN
ton has filled nearly ali the vacancies in the
regular army without the knowledge or as
sent of Mr.. johnson.
He has been for some time making out
the commissions, and forwarding them to
the appointees, with orders to them to re-
port to General Grant for duty. General
Grant supposing them, as appeared from the
force of their papers, duly appointed by the
President, has assigned them to duty, and
they are now at service without the knowl-
edge Of the President On learning the
fact the President was very angry, and sent
for Mr.. Stanton and demanded an explana-
ton. The President was in favor of the re-
tirement of Mr.. Stanton as soon as he could
make out his report, on which he is now
engaged.
The belief gains ground that Gen. Sher-
man is to succeed Mr.. Stanton as Secretary
pro TEN. He cannot, Of course, hold the
Office and that of Lieutenant General at
the same time; but at the request of General
Grant, who desires the hearty cooperation
of the War Office in the work of re-organ-
izing the army, Sherman will act as Secre-
tary of War.

A LESSON IN FTGUREs.

In the three great States of Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana, there were cast, at the
recenteleetions, about thirteen hundred thou
sand votes, 100000, 100000 in Penn
sylvania, 100000 in Ohio, 100000 in Indi-
ana. These figures are not accurate, but
they are approximately correct. The
Radical majority in the first is II 900, in
the second $4,000, in the third $4,000, in
all combined $4,000. Assuming thirteen
hundred thousand to be the exact total vote,
and we have, as a result, 900 Radicals,
and $4,000 Conservatives. In the light O.
this summing up, are not the Radicals,
when they, appeal to the elections as evil
dence Of overwhelming popular endorse
ment Boosting before they put their armOr
off? As they advance in their revolution
airy programme, had not Messrs BUTLER,
BOUTWELL,, BINGHAM, BRowNLow, KEEL
LEY, PHILLIPS, SUMNER, WADE and Co.,
better pause and consider Of these figures? 1t
is easy enough to make flourish OF trumpets
over majorilies, and well enough, when the
issue in question only relates to the holding
of q certain number Of Offices, and
the exercise of the due political power
and influence which results there
from; but when a revolution is eontem-
plated, il is wise to look little more care
fully into the temper and disposition of the
people. In these great leading States nearly
one-half of the. people have pronounced
against the Congressional policy, and have
uttered their protest with emphasis and
under excitement, fully realizing the condi-
ton of affairs The vote Of the great State
Of New York, nearly three quarters Of a
million in number to be given in few
days, will, perhaps, be more equally divided
than either of the three named The entire
vote of the nation, If it could be polled,
would be largely in opposition to the radi-
cal policy Of Congress. viii the leaders of
that party venture further upon their mad
and wicked schemes, and try the patience Of
the nation to "the top of its bent?" VIII
they be deluded by temporary party tri-
umphs into greater innovations upon the
Constitution Will they commit the blum
der, greater than a crime, of installing a
party for the people, and to substitute that
partys creed for the peoples Constitution ?
We shall see.

Gen. sherman and the indians.

New YORK, October 23.-The heirs of
Anneke Jand, the original owner of the
Trinity Church property, are about to con-
test the right Of purchase to the property.
The Tribune's special says that General
Sherman was at Fort Dodge on the 9TH and
remained over Sunday. The General gives
the Indians eight days in which to bring in
the other three white women they have, and
if they do not return them without presents
he told them it would be war. The Indians
started home to have council among them
selves. On leaving, they said if we did not
hear from them in five days we might look
out for something else. The five days ex-
pired last Friday, and we are on the alert.
The Times Washington special says
nothing further has transpired in relation
to the Mexican question, partly owing, no
doubt. to the illness of Col. Campbell, our
Minister to Mexico, who has been confined
to his room since his arrival What have
telegraphed you recently on this subject,
although unofficial, may be considered Of
strictly reliable character, and will be ftrr-
Their telegraphed in few days.

THE ELECTION FOR REPRESENTA-
TIVE


We hope no Conservative voter in this
city or county win omit to so to the polls
on Thursday, November LIST, and deposit his
ballot Tor JOHN LEILYErr, Esq, the Con-
seryative candidate for the Legislature. For
long period largely identified with the
mercantile interests Of the city and State,
and thoroughly informed Of theruinous bur
dens indirectly inflicted upon the producing
classes. the farmers aud mechanics, and upon
the general prosperity by the heavy taxes
imposed upon merchandise by former inju-
dicious legislation, all these classes are pc
culiarly interested in giving him united
and vigorous support Combining iirmness
and decision with clear and quick percep-
tions, he is eminently qualified as general
legislator. and as the colleague Of Judge
BRrEN, to thwart, if possible, the destrne-
tive and revolutionary measures TO be
brought forward by the Torch-and-Turpen-
tine Radicals at the approaching session
As devoted friend Of the Union his record
is unsssailable, and as the advocate Of con-
stitutional liberty no one will 90 farther
than he.
The Radicals are fattering themselves that
the election, being special and isolated one
and the Conservative majority feeling such
confidence in the election, sufficient num-
Der viii stay away from the polls to enable
them 70 run in their man. They will use
al diligence to do 50, for mischief Is sleep
less. IL, therefore, becomes the duty Of
c.,ery Conservative in town and country, to
90 TO the balIot-box and vote Cor their eandi-
date.
Let no one vote for Capt WILSON simply
because he is a clever old man, or good
neiqlii,or. He has publicly espOused The
Radical doctrines, Brownlowism and all.
II he were elected he could not vote
AGAINST single Radical proposition
which may be plcscnied-negro suffrage,
negro militia, or anything else that may
come no. and is likely 70 come. DO not
touch him under any considerations but
make Il a point 10 vote for Mr.. LEILYErr.

New YORK, Oct. 2S.-The Evening Ex-

BY the fact that the President OF the Broth

throughout the country, are engaged in
making preparations for another campaign.
A contract for uniforms has been given to 4
manufacturer, and they will soon be ready
for she Fenisn army. All the States have

There is no truth whatever in the report
thas Col. Roberts has sold the arms under
his control 70 Santa Anna. The Colonel in
dignantly denied the rumor this afternoon.
The uniforms are to be made similar to
those worn BY the United States army, with
the exception Of the buttons. The caps will
be ornamented with green ribbon, aud the

since 1868. There is scarcely a house in
this place, he adds, or on the Bahams, that
has not suffered to some extent, while the
destruction to the shipping in the harbor
and along the coast has been alike fearful.
The loss of life although small here, has
been severe on some of the out island. The

home in this city, having just returned in
excellent health and spirits from his in.
sPecting tour through the western portion Of

In this connection it is proper enough to

President had expressed his approval of the
Presidents restoration policy. We do so to
say that we have very good reasons to believe
the ronnrf Correct.
