WASHINGTON, October 13.-Already we have had
a visitation OF the advocates of Cabinet ~reorgani-
in last Tuesdays elections. Intelligence Of the
coming OF others from New York and elsewhere
has reached this city, and If tho reports can be re-
who come, is to be engrossed with this disturbing
subject for the next two weeks or more. Three
Democrats of influence and power. in their party
the subject within the past twenty-four hours.
They say that the President must place his adj
mlnlstratlon mmore direct accord with the Demo-
Gratis, who are his only friends that the Demo-
cratic party has sustained him as against tho OK
tremc, Radicals, and by it's late victories efectually
stayed the hands or those who threatened im-
peachment and insta Int deposition of the Executive;
that it would inspire confidence among his friends
i Mr.. Johnson should infuse warmer blood into
change, or ut least that three or four Of the present
members should DO supplanted. !
The fact that the President hears these PROPOSE
tons is taken generally as indicating q determine
ton on his part to adopt them, and it ia telegraph
ed hence accordingly.
AS yet there is no positive assurance Of a dispo-
sitlon on the part Of Mr.. johnson to bring new
men into his councils, except in the War Depart
ment. as heretofore stated, though it is within the
range of probability that, yielding to the pressure,
gmonth. The Republicans here expect that the
cabinet will be harmonized in support Of the
threatened Presidential coup d'etat, and they Sc
riously say that the aspect Of affairs is frausht
with great danger.
They, fear that Congress may convene in bold
4and defiant spirit, and adhere to the declared poll
,ey OF extreme men Of impeachment, and suspen-
sion OF the President during trial; aud since the
elections more than ever they believe Mr.. johnson
will%esist with force, il necessary, to maintain his
constitutional right to hold the Office until a judg-
ment after trial.
Others, however, argue that the effect Of the
elections has been to settle these grave questions,
and that impeachment will find fewer advocates at
the next session than were counted in the last.
j. General Sherman teleRraphs that he will leave
Now York tomorrow morning for the West, to re-
sumo command Of his department and act as one
of the Peace Commissioners.
u General Sheridan had two months leave OF alb
ssnce granted him when called here by General
Grant.
~ General Sickles's court of inquiry will not be
granted. 1t is argued that he has already had his
hearing in the mode selected by himself, by the
publication of his correspondence with General
Grant, and his own expose Of facts as he under
stood them.
The bankers and brokers have been notified by
the Treasury Department of the peculiar features
Of the counterfeit seven-thirties. So far eighty
Thousand dollars Of the counterfeits have been re-
ceiyed at the Treasury Department for CONVEX
sion. These notes will be returned to the parties
who sent them, and the Government will lose
nothing on account Of the spurious issues.
