81 IhIEeRAPH TO TAG TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 1867.
II is expected that the President will, during the
present week appoint successor to Mr.. stanton as
Secretary of War. As yet no selection has been
made but it is believed the Executive is DESTROYS OF
bringing into his Cabinet one who is as near as may
he the type of the Conservative sentiment of the
neople. as evinced in the recent elections. Such
nne the late Gov Andrew of Massachusetts, was re-
caned and II was understood in official circles that
he was TO succeed Mr. Stanton who, before stated
in these dispatches, will probably be removed out
right under the authority of the law stood prorto
the passage of the Tenure of Office Act The latter Act
is construed by the President invalid so far as IT
applies to Cabinet officers. BY some the first section
of that law is interpreted applying only to the
members of the Cabinet actually appointed by Mr..
johnson, and as Mr. Stanton never received formal
nomination by the present Executive, his case it is
argued does not come within the terms of the Tenure
of Office law.
With.a view to checkmate 1.-THE Democrats of the
Ohio Legislature who, it is stated propose to re-
district that State to secure in future majority
of the Ohio delegation in Congress, Mr. Ashley OF
Ohio preparing bill 10 be presented at the next
session of Congress enacng that no state shall be re-
dstricted except in the regular way and at the term
at present provided by statute which is at the end OF
every ten years. The Democrats propose to gerry
mander the State by combining the Republican and
Democratic counties so as to elect majority of the
70 Congressman.
II is asserted that the ex-Cabinot member who
called on Gen. Grant to learn if he authorized Mr.
Forneys expose of the political opinions of the Gene
raj, is the Hon. Montgomery Blair There is au-
thOrty for saying that the report OF that conversa-
tiOn which asenbes to Gen. Grant irritation on ac-
oonnt of the action of Mr. Washburne is wholly I'M
true Their relations are of the most friendly re-
spectful and confidential character.
In the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia
to-day Mr.. Bradley read statement in answer to
the rule Of the Court for him to show cause why he
should not be excluded from the bar as practising
attorney owing to his difficulty with Judge Fisher
Three of the Judges present, VIZ, Cartier Ohn
and Wylie. Judge Fisher was absent. Robert j.
Walker made an argument in Mr.. Bradleys behalf,
when the full Court, through ChiefJustice CARTIER
sustained the order of Judge Fisher heretofore sus
pending Mr.. Bradley practitioner at the bar

said il was painful duty but il was necessary that
the Court should sustain its dignity and punish the
contempt. Mr. Bradley thanked the Court Tor the
delicate manner in which it had announced its de-
rision and said that he had long ago contemplated
retiring altogether from the bar but that the present
manner of severng his connection with the Court
rendered the separation the more unpleasant.
