| WASHINGTON, October 13.-Already We have had
Il visitation Of the advocates OF Cabinet reorganl-
zation, melted by tie successes of the Democrats
| lii last tuesdays elections. Intelligence Of the
] coming Of others from New York and elsewhere
has reached this city, and the reports can be re-
lied upon the President, if he still give ear to all
who come IS to be on5rossed with this disturbing
subject for the next two weeks OF more. Three
Democrats OF Influence and power in their party
have had separate interviews with Nh. johnson on
the subject within the past twenty-four hours.
They say that the President must place his ad-
ministration IN more direct accord with the Demo-
Gratis, who are his only friends that the Demo-
cratic party has sustained HIM as against the ex-
tremc Radicals and by its late victories ehectually
stayed the hands OF those who threatened ina
peachment and instant deposition OF the Executives
that It would inspire confidence among his friends
ii Mr.. johnson should intuse warmer blood into
the Cabinet and to that end they suggest an entire
change at least that three or four OF the present
members should be supplanted.
The fact that the President hears these PROPOSE
tious is taken generally as indicating determine
tion on his part to adopt them, and it is telegraph
ed hence accordingly
AS vet there is no positive assurance Of dispo-
siton on the part of Mr.. Johnson to bring new
mon into his councils except in the War Depart
ment a. heretofore stated, though IT Is within the
range of probability that, Yielding to the pressure,
some two or three members may be retired within
month. The Republicans here expect that the
Cabinet will be harmoniZed III support OF the
threatened Presidential coup defdt, and they Sc
riously say that the aspect OF affairs Is fraught
with great danger. =,
The fear that Congress may convene in bold
and defiant spirit, and adhere to the declared poll
cy of extreme men of impeachment, and suspen-
sion of the President during trial; aud since the
elections moro than they believe Mr.. johnson
will resist with force il necessary to maintain MS
constitutional right to hold the office until Judg-
ment after trial.
Others however, argue that the effect OF the
elections has been to settle these grave questions
and that impeachment will find fewer advocates az
the next session than were counted in the last.
General Sherman telegraphs that he will leave
New York tomorrow morning for the West, to re-
sumo command of his department and act as one
OF the Peace Commissioners.
General Sheridan had two months leave OF ab,
sence granted him when called here by General
Grant.
General Sickles's court of inquiry will not be
granted. 1t is argued that he has already mad his
hearing in the mode selected by himself, by the
publication OF his correspondence with General
Grant, and his own expose OF facts as he Under
stood them.
The bankers and brokers have been notified by
the Treasury Department ol the peculiar features
of the counterfeit seveg-thirties. So far eighty
thousand dollars Of the countereits have been re-
ceiyed at the Treasury Depa. tment for couyer-
sion. These notes will be returned to the parties
who sent them, and the Government Will lose
nothing on account of the spurious issues.
