{ WASHINGTON, Nov. 6, 1567.--The Pres,
ident is overWhelmed today by telegraphic
CONGRATULATIONS from all sections of the
country. The interest and anxiety in
Washington last night and to-day has not
been equsIed since the Presidential cleo
tion in 1864. The Democracy of this city
are in the highest spirits, aud feel more
than satisfied with the results which verify
the predictions OF your correspondent.
Speculation upon the course OF Mr..
johnson, in view fthe election results. are
again rife; but the best informed pOliti-
clans are of the opinion that the President
will not alter his course, aud that the
present Cabinet is to be retained.
A rumor that NeR Ysrk fnancier has
been rendered the Treasury Department is
positively contradieted. The pressure for
McCnlloch's removal is renewed, but owing
70 the fact that the New York Democratic
Convention did not indors ethe President,
it Is thought the pressure will tbe Of no
avail.
The suggestion Of ex-senator Wall, TO
hold a convention of those incarcerated in
hastiles during the war, meets with much
favor. Certain leading parties here thought
the rehersal of stories Of wrongs and out
RACES perpetrated farce.
The President has requested the resigna-
ton Of Secretary Seward.
Senator Trumbull thinks the question
involved in Stanton's restoration TO the
War Department much more complicated
difficulty than wss generally apprehended.
He says should the Senate decide that the
civil Office tenure bill deprives the Execu-
tive of constitutional power to remove a
member of the Cabinet, it does not follow
that he could not remove Stanton. The
laws are that Cabinet officer shall not be
removed during the term of the President
by whom appointed The question to be
first settled is, when did Mr. Lincoln's term
expire. The Presidential term is not ne
ccssarily four years, for should johnson
die, a new election would be ordered and a
new term commence. Being thus settled
that the Presidential term is not necessari-
ly four years, it may be decided that the
term closes with death, and new term
commences with his successor. Mr.. Trum-
bull thinks there are several knotty ques-
tions TO be settled before Stanton secures
his restoration.
The negroes Of Lynchburg, Va, have
applied 20 the War Department for per-
mission to organize military companies,
alleging that they are exposed to the re-
sentiment and violence of the whites, in con
sequence of their recent political course
and will suffer if not allowed to place them
selves in selfdefense. Similar applica
tions have been made from nearly every
portion Of the South, instigated by the
loyal leagues. All have been refused BY
the Department, and military organiza
tions, black and white, formed without au
thority, are to be disbanded.
Reliable intelligence from Bedfort
county, Va, says that a white man named
Warner, who runs the Bureau school in tn
village Of Liberty, and is manager of th
league, declared that if the whites dis
charged the blacks for Radicalism ther
would be some burning and bloodshed
Oar informant says that if the negroes in
woke war of races, they will have to suffe
all the dreadful consequences which wi
ensue from its Inauguration.
Hon. James A. Seddon, ex-Confederat
Secretary OF War, was pardoned to-day b
the President on recommendation of LEAD
ing Republicans.
Professor Henry has abolished lecture
at the Smithsonian Institute, in cons'
quence of the inability to obtain lectures
who would not discuss politics.

/ Guthrie proposes taking his seat at tt
opening of Congress. I. s.a
The Virginia and Tennessee Railros
/ Company have adjusted the claim the gol
ernment held against them. The commi
tee appointed at the last meeting of ii
stockholders, TO confer with the War ID
partment and General Schofeld and adju
the matter, discharged their duties full
On the 18th inst. a meeting of the stool
holders will again convene, and the ele

Mr.. Chandler, the District Attorney,
working earnestly liz the preparations &
the trial Of JEFF. Davis. An entirely ne
indictment will be framed aud Mr.. Chan
Ter intends to have every thing ready
J proceed with the trial by the 25th of N
vember, and has notified Davis couns
thereof
The object of the District Attorney
this is 10 cast all blame, il such there |
on w. NJ. Egeretts, senior counsel for d
government. Ii there shall be a postpon
ment, it Is certain that the trial will n
occur this term. Justice Chase will n
be present at the time, and case of su'
magnitude, and involving such grave que
! tions, ought not, and will not, be entrust
: to such a creature rs Judge Underwood.
J, Forney's Chronicle and Philadelph
! Press tomorrow will nominate GeneI
Grant for President He claims that {
speech of General Rawlins, Grants -ch
Of staff, delivered last year, and which "
prepared in Washington, proves he is
accord with the Radicals. Washburn
declarations are cited as oorroborative e
dence. Also Grants disapproval ofthe
moyal of Sheridan and Sickles is declar
7 to be equally significant. The editor
!, fers 70 Senator Thayer to prove, as stat
!" by your correspondent, that Grant labor
with the Conference Committee to prev'
its striking out the House amendment +
y bidding the President TO remove distr
,, commanders without the authority of
a General Commanding. The fact Il
~ General Rawlins, Washburne and Gene
Logan are daily in confidential commu
cation with Grant, is held by FOrney as
important point bearing on his politi
q status, aud proving the General Radl
enough for himself Forney declares
almost universal preference for Gene
Ulysses Grant as the Republican candid
$ for President of the United States in Is
as and il leaves little doubt that nothing
ar his own emphatic declination of that h
n honor will prevent his nomination as
m Republican candidate.
