COOPERATIVE Dining Rooms.

Co.Operative Dining Rooms.
Ths New York S,,s,suggests the propriety
Of establishing public eating houses on the

the matter ara members of Workingmen's
club, but the benefits Of the proposed ar
rangement are TO be open to all. They are
not over sanguine of q remarkable SUCCESS,
but they reasonably conclade that by avoid
ing all extravsganee, by renting or buying
houses OF moderate pretensions, and hiring
their own cooks, wsiters, and managers,
they cannot fail to effect considerable saw

where the profits Of public purveyors are
much less than here, why should not similar
enterprises prnEe eyen more successful in

are compelled every day one or more meals
away from their homes, and they must either
pay extravagant prices for them or be con.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WARRINGTON, Aug. 8.
It Is stated Mr.. Stanton has been substan-
TALLY suspended from further executive func-
tions Of the office Of Secretary of War, and
that the reason Of his suspension will be subs
mitted to the Senate at the next session Of
Congress.
There is no indication of the Surratt jury
having agreed upon a verdict. The prisoner
was visited at the jail this morning by his
brother, Isaac Surratt. He is hopeful and in
good spirits. He has not been brought from
Jail since Wednesday.
"A private letter from Arizona says the In
dams are worse than ever. They are con-
stantly engaged in killing settlers and steals
ing cattle. In al the depredations commit
ted thus far but one Indian has been killed,
and that was done by q Mexican.
The Intelttgencer says the statement that
communication be held with Mr.. Stanton is
incorrect. So long as he is permitted to re-
main in Office official relations must exist. 1t
does not follow, however. that he will attend
Cabinet consultations. These are not held
in virtue of law, but are purely discretionary
with the President.
We learn from an unusually well informed
source that it is the purpose of Mr.. johnson
TO allow the whole matter to remain in abey-
ance for few days, giving time for reflection
on the part Of Mr.. Stanton and his friends
who advise him as to the course he should
pursue. If, in two or three days, he shall
still persist inhis refusal to resign, the Presi
dent will suspend him by giving him notice.
All members of the Cabinet were present
at the meeting to>day, with the exception of
Attorney General Stanbery, who is still alb.
sent from Washington, and Secretary Stan-
ton, who remained at the department trans>
acting business.

A World's special says the President has
practically ignored Secretary Stanton BY ads
dressing > communication to Col. Townsend,
Assistant Adjntant General of the. army, ins
stead Of the Secretary Of War, as 10 custom
ary.
A Times special says some of the WASH
ington detectives have reported the discove~
~ of plot to rescue the prisoner Surrrtt,
which may have had some foundation, but it
has been nipped in the bud. h is certain that
the hotels in the immediate vicinity of the
Court House have been unusually crowded,
and that their guests have nearly all been Bal
timoreans and citizens Of the rebel counties
Of Maryland, adjoining the District A man
has been arrested a. ringleader in the sup
posed plot. 1t was asserted tlnt big things
might be expected tonight, and it is pre-
sumed to have reference to an attempt to
take the prisoner from the guard of four po-
licemen, and from, the Jail, after the recep>
ton of the disagreeing report of the jury,
which was expected to night. The Jail IS To-
Gated about 400 yards from the Court House,
and the avenue leading to it runs through .
park, and ls lined on each side with rows of
trees,
Ithas been ascertained that Gen. Grant has
virtually been responsible for the delay in the
issue Of the order removing Sheridan, as he
has objected to the transfer of officers of the
rank required by the Reconstruction Act from
the duties in which they are now engaged.
on the ground that the exigencies of the pub.
lie service demand that they shall be retained
in their positions. 1t is certain that the nu-
merous appeals from the Presidents friends
advising him not to remove Sheridan, have
had some effect, and it is probable that the
