WASHINGTON, September zZ,i :
Very many removals are now oeins n m.ho
throughout the country OF oine.ais "mo
have made themselves obnoxious on az.
count of the malignant abuse iney naNe
Thought nroper TO shower upon Tue ires'
dent Pnstmastery have been decaphateo
in ysrv large numbers, whilst internal Pve-
mrs nf,,cers are also being attended 10 Win
5;sna,ch and promptness. What the enect
aSis".,, removals. made at SO late aPeriod,
I'll, he Is vet to be determined. 1t seems
% hs settled that the President has no IN
,cn,;ou Of permitting his enemies to live
nnon the patronage which he has the power
~ dispensing: and now that the Attorney
General has given an official opinion with
regard to the powers OF tho President in
the question Of filling vacancies, he will
no, hesitate longer in malcing them and
filling them as we'll. At the same time IT
cannot be questioned hut that 1t intensifies
the feeling Of those removed against the
Administration but they cannot work
harder or with more energy in opposition
TO his policy than they have been doing
during the entire campaign.
The Radicals are not 80 thoroughly salts
fed with General Grant as they were some
time ago, and but little is now said with
rega4d to nominating him as their candi-
date for the Presidency. .. .s.sqMl.
Therclis considerable soreness expressed
nj his refusal to attend the Radical Sol
diers'. Convention at Pittsburg, and the
Indications arc that he will soon fall in for
share Of Radical vitupcration. This
would be bad policy before the elections
hut when they are over it seems very GER
tain that the whispers of discomfort now
circulating will swell into a very general
murmur Of Radical dissatisfaction.
Mr.. Stanton'S name is very seldom men
toned now. Every one seems incllnedJto
the belief that he will continue to exer-
else the functions of Secretary of War
until il plcaseS him to retire. No one can
tell how it is that he remains in a position
whereby the enemies Of the Adminl>tra-
tion have had an abundance of aid and
comfort.
Crowds continue daily to throng the
Executive mansion in the hope of Sc
curing interviews with the President. His
time is as much occupied as ever, and it
does not seem as if there is any rest to
he allowed him. The time is not SO distant
when he will commence the preparation
of his annual message to Congress.
There is no abatement Of rancor on the
part Of the petty officials throughout the
different departments here in their Stric-
lures upon the Administration. Some
who have leave of absence at present arc
improving their furloughs by working for
their cause in their different States, and
il will not be Surprising iftmany Of them
are allowed To leave here in time to vote
the Radical ticket at the next State cleo
ton. - -

The Treasury Department will COM
mence the payment Of bounties to soldiers
under the late law Of Congress as soon as
the proper papersin each case are present

report that the Secretary would refuse
payment of these claims as an extensive
campaign document. 80 :.
