Washington, Oct. 81 have authority for say
ing that the President, convinced that his enc
mics. and the enemies of the Constitution and
the Union, are not to be overcome by PASSIVE
measures, has determined to adopt more active
and decisive course. In pursnaltce III thus deter
mination, he has begun by arranging an entirely
new Cabinet, which will be thoroughly Demo
cratic, the members of which are pledged to re-
sst the Suspension of the President, should the
aggressive Congress be mad enough to resort to
such an act.
The new Cabinet will not be announced until
after the ensuing fall elections, which occur be-
fore Congress meets.
There are breakers ahead for the Radical party,
be assured-Teleg,upled to N. %. Pieagune.
Washington, Sept. 28. = The question of i'm
peacllment is again the subject of discussion in
Radical circles, but it is altogether dependent
ON the result of the elections in New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio. 1t they go against the
..gold and humanity party as it is believed by
all well informed persons they Will, there Will be
no impeachment. Ii on the other baud these
States 20 against us, Butler Ashley, and other
members of the Radical gang will press the i'm
parchment to an issue. The business OF the
country is against it. Wall street and the capi-
talists are against it and the Conservative Re-
publicans, such as Trumbull, Fessedden and their
followers are bitterly opposed toit But SHOULD
the wiser counsels of these men Ge rejected, and
that of the revolutionary rump prevail, the
President is prepared to meet them. He will
never be dragged from his position by band OF
conspirators without struggle, and Ashley,
Butler, and the rest of the political crew may
rest assured that there is a day Of reckoning in
store for them.
Washington. Oct g. - The New York Times,
of this morning, says: 'That the public mind
has become disgusted with the extreme measures
of many prominent men in the Union party, we
have little doubt. The evident determination of
some ameng them not only to secure the colpred
race in the enjoyment OF equal rights, but togive
Them absolute aseendency in the government of
the country, has repealed very many who have
hitherto acted with the Republican party.
There is no doubt, moreover, that the violence
and reckless partisanship which has marked
much of the action, and more OF the speeehbs of
Republican leaders, the disregard of conatitu-
tionI obligations, the manifest determination to
keep political power i'll their own hands by What
ever means, and the evident purpose 30 exclude
the Southern States from the Union until they
can rely on their support Of the most radical
measures Of public or party policy, have caused
very many members OF that party to distrust
the wisdom and patriotism Of those who have
usnrped its friendship and CONTROL
| Washington, Oct. 5-Hon Louis V. Bogy, ex-
Indian Commissioner, is here. As he has been
mentioned for the position Of Secretary of the
Interior in the new Cabinet, it is not surprising
that he should actively interest himself in the
consultations of the members who are accessible.
1t is plainly manifest that preparation is being
made by the gentlemen who are t0scempose the
/ new body of Presidential advisers for any emer-
! gency which may happen
Iregret to say that the President is complain
! ing OF a cold to-day, but his spirits are good,
and his will to perform his duty is determined
and clearly marked.--Ieleg. to N. o. Picay,sne
