IMPENDING DANGER.
Startling Revelations as to the
Plans of the Radical Leaders.

A Washington correspondent writes
the Boston Post:
Some startling revelations are leaking
out here touching the revolutionary
schemes of the Radical leaders. 1t has
been discovered that the plan for radical
governments and negro supremacy in
the Southern States was concoeted and
matured at the convention of Southern
"Loyalists on the 18th of September
last, in Philadelphia, where were present
the Radical Governors Of the several
Northern States. 1t was then and there
determined to organize revolutionary
army which should hold the South under
the control of the Radicals, regardless OF
what might be the popular vote. 1t was
also determined that +. M. Pease should
by some means be placed at the head of
the State organization in Texas, and in
obedience to this plot of the revolution
lists General Sheridan deposed Governor
Throckmorton and installed Pease in the
executive chair In further continua-
ton of the same plot, General +. j.
Davis was given rowing commission by
General Sheridan, ostensibly for the
purpose of experimenting the registra-
ton, but really to organize the Texas
quota of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, the members of which are sworn to
hold the power of the South regardless
of constitutional or legal barriers. That
work ia now in rapid progress, and
funds are being supplied through the
Loyal Lesgues" by the. Radical Con
gressional Committee of this city, of
which Mr.. Schenck, of Ohio, is chairman.
My Information is to the effect that this
military organization is now being rap
idly pushed forward in all the Southern
States, and it is reported that the su-
preme command of this revolutionary
force has been bestowed upon the late
commander of the fifth military district.
In view of this powerful organization,
which stands ready to throttle the Gov
ernment, the late proclamation of the
President may not be ill.timed Of the
truth of this statement there IL now
abundant proof, and steps will be taken
by the Government to meet the impend-
ing danger.

The Signal Effect Of tho Proclamation Of
Amnesty.

The National Intclligencer of the 7th
says:
During the deliberations of the Cabi-
net yesterday, it is understood that it
became evident in the opinion of every
member present, the legal effect of the
contemplated amnesty proclamation
would be to relieve all persons included
within its terms from disqualifcations,
as well as all penalties incurred by their
complicityin the late rebellion, and, of
course ESQ far as the action of the gone
raj government is concerned), from dis
ability as to the exercise of the right Of
suffrage We may, therefore, congratn-
late the country upon the prospect Of n
speedy settlement Of all our difficulties
upon principles conformable to the Con
sttution, and in harmony with our
republican form of government. That
such will be its effect no sound lawyer
entertains doubt, nor is it to be pre-.
sumed that it will be seriously denied by
any considerable number of respectable
men of the Radical party in or out
of Congress.
