DISSOLUTION OF THE PRESIDENTS CABINET.
The Cabinet is at last dissolved. 1t is under
stood this evening that Stanton, Harlan, Speed,
and Denson waited upon the President this
morning and severally rendered their Iesigna-
tions, which were promotly accepted. Several
months AGO. when the President became con-
vmced that Stanton, Harlan, and Speed would
not support his restoration policy he conveyed
TO each one of them the plain intmation that
their resignations would be acceptable and were
desired, and he has been waiting ever since for
| them to resign. The indelicacy which they
| manifested by remaining IN a Cabinet where
| they we're not wanted, is only equalled by their
| impudence now in resign,ng because the Presi-
dent will lot yield his cherished convictions and
| abandon his pclicy.
WHO WILL FILL THE VACANT PLACES?
| Mr.. Randall will probably become Postmaster
| General; Mr.. Johnson, MIR. Cowan, and Mr..
| Doolitte would be called to the Cabinet if their
| prese1ce in the Senate was not SO vitality me-
| cessary. General Dix will probably become
| Secretary of War; Mr.. Seward and Mr.. McCu
loch will certainly retain their places in the
| new OdUlnel.
| THE RADICAL CAUCUS
will scarcely be able now to agree upon any step
| respecting an adjournment The prevalent de-
| sire among the Republican members is to take
recess from now I'LL October, and then continue
| the session till December, and it seems most
| likely that this plan will be adopted.
| 1t any but the radical leaders are impressed
| with the belief that the President intends, imme
| diatelv after the adjournment OF the Phlladel-
| phia Convention in August, TO summon to Wash
| ington the members from the Southern States,
| and to use the army, if need be, to place them
IN their seats have reason to believe that this
| conviction is well founded; but when the Pre-
| sdent has once MADE up his mind to take this
| step, the fact of Congress being in session will
| not hinder him.
'Mr. Jenkins" of the Herald, is quite subdued
to-day. He however, sends from Washington
| the following questionable endorsement of his
| sensational despatches:-
THE CABINET CRISIS.
| This has been the most exciting day in politi
| cal matters that has passed in Washington since
| the assembling OF Congress. The rupture in the
| Cabinet, the cavalier shelving OF the Tariff bill
| BY the Senate, and the proceedings of the JaCo-
| bin council last night, have consDred to create
| Juror OF excitement in the popular mind, and
| turn people crazy with speculation and anxiety.
| Foremost OF all is the long anticipated, long
deferred but none the less welcome rupture in
| the Cabinet. At the present writing the resg-
| nation OF but one Mlnister-Mr. Denison-is
| definitely kno Wn to have been received, though
II all floating rumors could be relied on, mole
| than half the Cabinet has asked to be relieved
fIom duty,
it's, however, almost certain that Mr. Deni-
| son has merely set the example that was wanted
| and that at least three Others will soon follow.
| Those pointed out as about to resign are
| Messrs. Harlan, Stanton, and Speed. 1t was
these to whom Mr.. Garfield referred in his
| speech before the Jacobin council last night
| W hen, as one speaking by authority, he
announced the withdrawal of one Secretary,
and added that within week several others
would follow. Mr. Denison has caused para
graph to be inserted IN the Star this evening,
| IN reference to his withdrawal, in which
IL is stated that the relations between
Mr.. DeDiSon and the President have been
entirely friendly. Mr.. benson was the Presi-
dent of the Convention which nominated PTesi
dent Lincoln for a second term, and he does not
| conceive it TO be consistent with his political
views to countenance the call for the Philadel
phia Convention, regarding the latter as in
antagonsm to the Republican party as repre-
sented in the Baltimore Convention of 1864.
This is doubtless the ground upon which he
desires the matter to go TO the public, but It is
patent fact that he and the gentlemen referred
to above have openly disagreed with the Presi.
dent recently in regard TO the proposed veto of
the new Freedmen's Bureau BILL which is doubt
less the more immediate cause OF the disruption,
and added 10 this is the expression OF the Jaco-
bins last night, that no person having aught to
do with the Philadelphia Convention could train
in their company.
These considerations apply with equal force
to Stanton, Speed and Harlan. and strengthen
the conviction that they will withdraw in very
few DAYS. Speculation is quite as busy with
the names of probable successors as with those
who are TO create vacancies. No appointment
has vet been made in place OF Mr. Denison, but
it seems quite probable that Governor Randall,
at present First Assistant Postmaster-General,
will be promoted to the head of the department.
1t has been known for some weeks that Gov
error Randall has been under orders to nold
himself in readiness to accept Cabinet office;
but the public would have IL that the Interior
Department was the one intended for him. But
| O his point you will remember / telegraphed
| Won two weeks ago that Judge Brown, of Hi
nos had been rendered that position. His friends
| still insistIthat on Mr. Harlan's resignation he
| will succeed to the office. Therefore, naturally,
| Randall will take the Post Office.
| There is a generalrumOr prevalent in we'll
| Informed circles that the War Department will
not be Immediately filed should Mr.. Stanton
resign, but that General Grant will be called
upon to exercise the functions of Secretary OF
War dd interim, in connection with his COM
mand in chief of the army. The intimate
relations existing between these two offices
render il in the highest degree desirable
and important that harmony should exist,
which has not been the case for some time past;
