SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DAILY NEWS

WASHINGTON, March n.
STANTON AND THE PRESIDENT
Are at loggerheads, and the former will certainly
be removed if Congress retires from the helo uh-
til mex. December, SO to do away with the neces-
sity of looking to an immediate confirmation OF
the War Minister'S successor.
Yesterday, when the adjournment question was
running high in the Senate, who should staik ln'o
that Chamber but the hurley form OF STANTON
The latter has come to understand the lmmlnence
OF his removal, and relies solely upon obtaining
from Congress the passage Of resolution OF con-
ditional adjournment, to save him from sucn lg-
norninous retirement. It was easy to note even
from the Senate gallery yesterday, how zealousiS
he had entered upon the work OF circumFenlhs
the Administration in the determination to remove
him.
While the debate upon the adjournment was
warmest. the willy old Minister moved from the ear
of one Senator to that Of another, until tho whole
Radical round was completed, begging that ne
might not be loft alona to face the Presidential
wrath. A subsequent vote upon the proposition IN
dicates that the councils Of STANTON had but little
effect upon the desire of the Senate to go nome
without looking to q reconvocation before the al
lotted time in December next. But in the House
he Jared better, and that body are likely to hold
stubbornly out against any proposition that does
not look to reassembling upon proclamation OF
the presiding officer in each House, at least twice
between now and next fall.
STANTON discovers that notwithstanding the
potency of the Tenure of Office Bill, that act docs
e., m
ber of the Cabinet, not appointed by him. and
hence his alarm. While s'the rump" stands by to
veto the nomination of his successor, the Secretary
feels tolerably secure, but with that stay gone'
sway goes the incumbent, and ssnone 80 poor as to
do him reverence"
TIE RADICAL CRUSADE IN THE SOUTH.
You will have noted that republican caucus
has lately decided to assess the radical treasury
the sum Of ten thousand dollars for furnishing
campaign Documents to the benighted heathen of
the unconstructed States. Hmay be equally cheer
ing for your readers to learn that WHsos, the I'M
maculate Senator from the upper country Of Mas
sachusetts, is firm in the faith that the South, With
proper missionary SERVICE upon the part OF jealous
rads, may be converted TO the Congressional creed
and become hencefo1th field of swelling harvests
in the interest Of the great idea" To be consls-
tent with this understanding of the situation,
WILSON proposes to organize upon the adjourn
ment of Congress, small squad Of select republ-
can orators for the miraculous work above lnolca-
ted. No doubt you will see the rotund ex-coboer
OF Natick advertised to preach the gospel OF UNI
versal suffrage in your midst, before the Ices OF
March are well gone by.
MARYLAND TO BE RECONSTRUCTED.
The Radicals are determined that Maryland
shall be stirred to such wrathful connections or
tht populace as will ne.essitate the intervention
Of United States troops to public order, ano
so give Congress the excuse-long coveted-of de-
claring the commonwealth under martial rule, and
susceptible Of civil restoration only upon such
terms ss are indicated to your disloyal selves 10
do this, few hundred Radical adventurers IN the
State, mainly in EA.tmore, propose to seize upon
the call for q pending Constitutional Convention
as rretext for precpitating riot and general hub
bub at every available point, until the interposn-
ton OF tho General Government carries the object
they desire, viz The reduction Of the State gov
eminent, and transfer Of it's control to the military
district which it adjoine. Prominent in this move
ia JNO, a. J. CRESwEIls E3-9eoato1 hoU '11o
State. But the scheme will fail signally in con-
SUMMATION, though it is probable that the Radicals
may provoke the spilling Of blood, and consider
able popular commotion between now and the
next succeeding sixty days.
Gov. BOND, however, has the conspiracy well in
hand, and instead Of afrigh6ngly calling upon
Washington for bayonets to quen the turnult, will
promtly call out posse cona,tatus strong enough
to sweep the insurgents from the field. .tis in this
that the Radicals havs falsely reckoEed, BY reason
Of too long trust in forces foreign to the State.
Gov. BOND has weighed and sifted the conspiracy
from it's inception, and will deal with It nsparng
". It will be remembered that des,itc the extra
ordinary endeaYor used last fall t qaesh his nu-
nicipal appointments Of Police cpun hsloners OF
Baltimore, and the subsidizatioN o1cfrt.in officers
Of the local courts to adverse aid unwarrantable
ruling in the premises, the Governor came out OF
the embroglio with aylns solors. The fight is to
be upon larger scale this time, but the result Will
be the same beyond peradventure. VDEA.
