The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-07-12

The New York World (radical Democrat) OF
to-day has the following dispatches from Wash
ington:-
BREAKUP IN THE oABINET-DENIsoN, HARLAN,
AND SPEED TO GO OUT.
The clisls in the Cabinet has at last arrived.
Postmaster General Denisou declares that he
can no longer endorse the position OF the Presi-
dent, and will tomorrow tender his resigna-
ton. The resolve of the President to veto the
Freedmen's Bureau bill, made known on yester-
day in Cabinet meeting, is the straw that broke
the camels back Secretary Harlan and Attor-
ney-General Speed will also retire before
August l. OF the truth OF this announcement
there is no doubt. In fact the resignation of
Mr.. Denison was announced BY the Ohio
members in the Republican caucus tonight,
STANTON, sICKLEs, AND THE PRESIDENT.
The telegram from Charleston announcing
that stanton had sustained the contemptuous
disregard OF the writ of hGbedS corpus exhibited
by General Sickles, eXcltes no little astOnish
ment in well-lntormed circles here, as 1T is we'll
known that the President had determined two
days ago % issue peremptory order to Sickles
to obey the writ and to surrender the prisoners
concerned into the custody of the court. But it
seems that Stanton was ahead of the President
in sending instructions to Sickles. The Presi-
dent now has the matter under advisement, and
it is believed that he will yet reverse the orders
oil the tyrant Secretary OF War.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
The Republican Senators and members met in
caucus to.night in the Hall of Representatives.
General Banks presided. An exciting and stormy
tine occurred, but in all of the conclusions
there was singular unanimity. The first propo-
stion discussed was the final adjournment of
Congress, which was disposed OF by reference
OF the question to a committee OF nine, to report
at future caucus. Senator Lane, OF Indiana
rlade q bitter denunclatory speech of President
johnson, and declared himself IN favor of an
early adjournment of Congress, though not
before some stringent bill was passed depriving
the President OF all power to make removals
from office during the recess. Senator Conness
followed IN a stump harangue on the President,
which was succeeded by a mildly-tempered
speech fiom Senator Wilson, who said he had
done all he could to prevent breach between
Congress and the President but that nothing
could stop the latter's going over to the Demo
Gratis. Several members OF the House then
made speeches, and Raymond's course on the
Philadelphia Convention was severely critl-
ciZed. AS he was present, the remarks virtually
called him to an account. At the proper mo-
ment he arose to his feet and performed one OF
those rapid sumersaults so familiar to the coun-
try. He said that. when he came out in indorse-
ment Of the Philadelphia Convention, he under
but he was satisfied that in this view the Times
had made a mistake, for he was convinced
that the convention would be controlled
by the Democrats He therefore intimated
1 Times, would be changed so as to withdraw all
support from said convention. There was close
| attention and profound silence as Raymond
spoke from the penteDtial stool. When he
| finished it was resolved that votes should be as
| consistent as speeches, whereupon resolution
| was offered declaring that no Republican Sc
| MAJOR or member would participate IN the Phila
| delphla Convention, and II was unanimously
| adopted. During the debate an Ohio member
| mace the announcement of the withdrawal of
| PostmasterG General Denison from the Cabinet
| He was asked by dozen voices what authority
| he had, and he replied that he spoke by the
card. Governor Hamilton, OF Texas, was IN
viled to attend the caucus and after the pusi
| ness was over he made a brief speech, after
| which an adjournment took place.
| The New York Tribune of to-day (radical
Republican, publishes this sober view of affairs
from its Washington correspondent:
RESIGNATION OF THE PosTMAsTER-GENERAL.
WASHINGTON, July IL. Postmaster-Gen
Denison this evening resigned the place he
| holds in the Cabinet His successor is not
| named. There are reasons for supposing that
| Secretary Harlan will soon follow his example
| What reasons Mr.. sDenlson had for resigning
| are not authoritatively known, but they may,
| perhaps be found in the fact that he does not
| endorse the Philadelphia Convention, and does
| endorse Congress and the Union party in sub
| mitting a new amendment TO the Constitution.
The following is from the Associated Press:-
A rumor prevails late tonight that Postmaster
General DenisOn has resigned his once but nobody
can be found to give authority for the report. The
assertion is positively made by some partes that he
had not done so up to O'Clock to day. The only
thing certain is, the rumor caus widespread com
ment, ana finds many beevers as well as dOubters.

The Union caucus to-nieht was attended by
| the members of both Houses. and It's proceed.
| ings we're OF the most impo rtanl character
Mr.. Garfield announced that Postmaster
| General Denison would send in his resignation
tomorrow, and that three other members of the
| Cabinet would follow his example before many
| days. He was questioned as to the authenticity
OF this statement, and replied that he spoke by
| the book.
The question of adjournment then came no.
Senator Lane of Indiana, spoke warmly and ex-
| citedly. While he favored an early adjourn
| ment he hoped something would be done to
| prevent the threatened displacement of Union
oiIice-heldeIs and the substitution of Copper
| heads IN their place. Senators Conness and
| Wilson also spoke on this subject. The latter
| said he had tried hard to keep from believing
| that the President had gone over to the Copper
heads but he was now fully convinced that his
| worst fears were being realized.
The most exciting event OF the caucus was
debate on the Philadelphia Convention, which
| called Mr.. Raymond to his feet. In answer to
inquiries as the object of the New York Times in
endorsing the call, II was with the distinct un-
| derstandlng that none but Union men were to
| participate In the Convention. He had since
been persuaded into different conclusions and
was ready TO admit that he had done wrong.
