Closing Up the Concern.

1t will be seen thai President johnson
has removed Secretary Stanton; and
Washington rumor says he has iutimated
to the other members of his cabinet that
he would be glad 20 have them pack up
and leave. This looks like closing up the
concern that has heen running the COVER
mental machine; since Mr.. Lincoln $
death The wonder has been all through
the troubles between the President and
Congress. why Mr.. Stanton did not resign.
as be was supposed not to he in sympathy
with the President; but it was replied that
he was needed in the War office. and that
he remained there at the instance of Union
men everywhere. Recent events show
that he has been true while holding place
in the Cabinet. 1t will be reoolleeted that
he was appointed by President lincoln
lie was No appointee OF President John
sons It will also be recollccted tina; at the
last meeting of Congress law was pas
sed hedging NJ the way for TIE dismissal
of Stanton. but congress now finds lis
enactment in this particular. as easily cast
one side, as the reconstruction act OF last
winter. The reccut curt correspondence
between the President and Secretary
Stanton naturally led to further action.
and we see the result. The President
seems to act rashly and with no sort of
regard Tor the consequences either to him
self or to the country, rs it Will be admit
ted that if congress was in session to day
he would be on trial before the Senate in
less than thirty days. No counsel of tor
hcarancc aud moderation could stand be
fore the impctuosity Of the members for
impeachment, and the almost universal
demand of the country for action. For
bearance. sometimes ceases to be ii virtue,
aud those Journals and politicians who

sress to let Mr.. johnson alone. will now

may be that it is intended as political
move, although one fails to see just how

1t is more probable, however, that the
President has got ia a bad way and is act
ing contrary to the advice of friends. and
contrary to the teachings of a sound ju DE-.
ment.
1t looks to day as if there was to be an

cease. Mr.. johnson was in consultation
with cabinet officers at various times dur

held, and an effort was made to conceal the
fact and all evidence of excitement and
perplextiy AT the White House throughout
the day. The President was sullen and
IN an exasperated state OF mind, and in
the course Of the day is positively known
to have given several contradictory orders.
At the cabinet meeting to-day there

The Ordination.
August 3, 1867.

The services consequent upon the ordi-
nation of F. r. lakewood Oh Thursday
last week were very interesting and at
tended by very large audience. The
council was held in the afternoon at the
mectinghouse. and was composed OF Pas-
tors Of five churches in the county. with
delegates from the same, and also by Rev.
DR.. Mason of Cambridgeport, Mass, Rev.
4. X. =. Small of Bangor. Rev. {. v.
Hanson Of Bucktield. Quite large num-
Der of people assembled to witness the
proceedings. The council was organized
by the choice of Rev. Mr.. Small Is Mod
orator and Dea. l.. G. Philbrook as clerk.
After the completion of the organization,
and the report of the clerk Of the names
of those composing the council, the candl-
date was requested TO give his views of
doctrine and call to the ministry. This
portion of the proceedings was deeply i'll
teresting and was listened to very attcn-
lively. Afterwards, various questions were
propounded to the candidate, some Of them
of the knottiest character. and some, prob
ably. asked from curiosity. or perhaps 10
ascertain how much thought had been be-
slowed on questions that can never be soly-
ed clearly. because there IA no express att
tho.ity 10 guide the inquirer. H)weyo +,
the candidate was prompt, explicit and
clear. and seemed to satisfy entirely those
sitting in Judgement on his opinions.
In the evening was held the ordination

order of services rs they were expected TO
take place, but some Of those who were
put down on the bills did not appear which
necessitated change in the order Of Sc
vices.

This gentleman has the power OF arrest
ing the attention of his hearers to re-
markable degree. and he was never more
happy in an effort than in his charge to th'
candidate. So also was the charge TO tht

with the petition OF Couover, We're ali that

connected with the case.
The pretended letter OF Ashley to Mr.. Riddle
was never sc, II or heard of by the latter until
il was published. The President, on receipt of
Biddle's note, gave positive promise 10 grant
the pardon if the Endorsement of Judge Holt
could be obtained. The moment he read this
he pretended 10 refer the matter to the Attoru-

President and the Coaorer Disclosures.
WASHINGTON. Aug. II.
The President. at 10 O clock this morn
ing. sent a communication to Secretary
Stanton suspending him IRON Office as Sec
rotary of War. and instructiug him to
transfer all the records, books &c, in his
custody to Gen. L. 5. Grant, The See
rotary was at the same time informed that
Gen. Grant had been empowered to act as
Secretary of War al interim
A communication was, at the same hour
sent to Gen. Grant, authorizing him to act
rs Secretary, al interim, and directing
Inn at once to enter upon the discharge OF
that office. Shortly after noon, Mr. Stan
ton sent reply to the President, in which
he denied that, wish0ut the consent Of the
Senate and without Legal cause. the Exc
cutive had any right under the Constitntion
and laws to suspend linn from office. ln-
usmuch. however. as the General com
manding the armies of tire United States.
had notified him that he had accepted the
appointment Of Secretary of War ad tn
term, the Secretary concluded, by saying,
that he had no alternative but to submit,
under protest. to n superior force.
Gen. Grant has, therefore, assumed
charge of the Department of War, and
appeared at a meeting of the Cabinet held
to day, for the purpose of considering GER
tain questions connected with the territory
recently acquired from Russia.
With regard to the recent disclosures OF
SANFORD COnover, there is the highest au-
thority for saying. that when the disc'os
ures came before the President with an
official detail of their contents, he decided
after elaboration, neither to order nn in
vestigation and collection Of other evil
dencc rumoNd to exist. nor on the other
hand, to let them lie secretly ON his fik's
hut to commit them forthwith to the pub
Ire, and rid himself Of the whole matter III
