What the Washington Correspondents sa,
PROSPECTS OF M IMPEACEMENT-CHASEA AND SICK
LEs-GENERAL GRANT AND HIS oRDERLIEs.

PROSPECTS OF An NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. AND SICK
LEs-GENERlL GRANT AND HIS oRDERLIEs.
The correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette
writes:
The opinion seems to be very generally enter
talned among the well informed here that the
country was never in more critical condition,
politically and financially, than at this moment.
The Radicals have the choice Of only two courses
the one to seize the Governmen. by force-the
other greatly to moderate the programme hereto
fore adopted, and up to this time pertinaciously
insisted upon. If the latter alternative shall be
adopted we may expect to sec the present Cabinet,
with one or two EXCEPTIONS retransfer their aegi-
ance. l am informed that Senator Chandler, OF
Michigan, while here expressed the opinion (based
upon calculations ef this kind) that impeachment
was all obsolete idea. Judge Carter, of this city,
no contemptible authority in Radical prognostics
(being a trusted wire puller) has said tho same
thing. 1t is even reported upon what consider
good authority that a serious effort will be made
by that class of Con2ressmen known as "Con-
servative Radicals to repeal or greatly modify
the existing Reconstruction enactments, and en-
deavCr by this means to effect compromise be-
tween the President and Congress. 10 bring
about such result the financial question would
present no difficulty, tits thought as Mr. McCul-
loOh and the Republicans already agree sub
stantially.
1t will be remembered that upon the issuance
of General Sickles' celebrated order, No. 10, by
which he set aside judicial order of Chief Justice
Chase. the latter meanly succumbed without O
word of remonstrance. have it, from perfectly
reliably source, that the Judge nOD deeply laments
this dastardly surrender of his authority, and con-
templates an early effort in the way OF excusing
his great blunder. Whether he has been brought
to recognize his criminal error by the late political
demonstration in Ohio, or by the significant move
mems in Radical quarters in favor OF his rival
Grant, or both; or whether he thus gives evidence
of returning sense of public duty, it would be,
perhaps, unchariJable to determine.
1t will surprise your readers to hear that the
Secretary of State srill keeps up the ridiculous
parade Of military guard before the door OF his
private residence. Even Stanton dismissed this
Office. General Grant, however, in this respect
outdoes Seward. He not only has the War De-
partment guarded at every entrance by armed
soldiers but his son. lad of about nine years old,
daily rides charger to school with an orderly in
his rear.
