A NEW CABINET.

On Monday, a commercial telegram
from New York to this city, excited both
political and business quidauncS-an"
nouncing as it did, the resignation in a
body, of the Cabinet Subsequent dis
patches proved this intelligence untrue.
As a matter of course, it was impossible
for any one to foretell the consequences of
such a mOvement-the result for good or
Ill depending in great measure upon the
character of their successors, and the
vigor and skill with which the President
might pursue the war against Radical
destructiveness, Of which such a step
would be the manifesto.
In this connection, we append an ar,
ticle from the New York Herald of Sat
urday last, and regard it as expressive of
Conservative opinion as to the course
which the President should adopt
The quarrel between the President and
Congress is but phase in the great march
Of our revolution. Congress has no more
risen to the magnitude of the problem than
has Mr.. johnson. Failing to comprehend
the great principles that underlie the re-
harmonizing of the nation, they have let
slip their opportunities dallied with recon-
struction, mingled it too much with politi-
cal ambitions, forgotten that they were
legislating for the country, lowered them
selves to the marrow scope of party, and
have at last thrown themselves off guard
and shown the vulnerable points in their
armor. Thus light is breaking in. Now
let the President use it. Let him correct
his first great error-the retention of the
old Cabinet left by Mr. Lincoln; let him
brush them away in body. They we're
born of other times and other wants. New
issues demand new men. Let US have them.
Had Mr.. johnson, upon his accession to
power, named a new Cabinet and called
Congress together Immediately, the recon-
structiOn of the South would long
since have been ended for ne and the
people, through their Congress, would have
pulled together in a common purpose. 1t
is not yet too late TO restore harmony be-
tween the forces of government. Now,
however, is the moment to strike. Let the
President, by virtue of the executive right
given to him by our fundamental law, sus-
pend the Cabinet, the tenure of Office bill
to the contrary notwithstanding; for that
is one of the Congressional blunders. If
he has no courage to do this, he is net equal
to the occasion, and thereby proves that we
have no hope of national harmony until
his term of Office has expired, or Congress
has impeached him. So rare an opportu-
nifty for a man 10 retrieve himself has
never occurred in our political history /;
and we now look TO Mr.. johnson to refnte
or admit all that his enemies have said
against him. We can have no reconstruc-
ton of the country until we have had
reconstruction Of the Cabinet for this, by
its too ready influence upon the President,
has made a political bat-stick for party
purposea

TIE JOHNSON GRANT CORRE-
sPONDENCE.

We fail to perceive the propriety OF
the letter Of the President to General
Grant, as acting Secretary of War, ex-
planning and justifying an official order
transmitted to the latter for execution.
So would not have done some men, Zone
at least, who have held the helm of State
in this nation. That man-Andrew
Johnson-would, in few and direct terms,
have taught the Secretary of War that
it was the duty of civil as well as mill
tary subordinates to obey and not criti>
else. He would have permitted no lee
lures from a purely minist erial officer
upon the theory of the government, ac-
companied with admonitions that the
people expected him to do otherwise.
The President, however, have been
willing to waive such an issue
for the purpose of speaking to
the country through bis reply to
Grant. He has done SO effectually, and
his letter is unanswerable. 1t is an epis-
tolary mas terpiece Grant, after re-
ceiving it, had nothing to do but to carry
out the strategy of his chief and to move
the man on the board as he was directed.
To one who will study the game closely
as this letter displays it, he will see that
the political aspirations of more than one
man are in a fair way to be checkmated /;
and that Grant, Thomas and Sheridan
have been very successfullyplayed against
each other-and all, too, in accord ance
with the doctrine that Grant was so
careful to announce in his letter to the
President, viz: "that this is a republic" "

In speech last Saturday, the acting
Wee President Of the United States,
Benjamin F Wade, of Ohio, denounced
every Democrat and Conservative in the
naton-North and South-as a traitor.
If this be true, the government is in a
perilous condition, for there are more
traitors than true men. A fair and honest
poll Of the white citizens of voting age
would show a majority a several hundred
thousand against the government But
il is not true. IL is an Infamous and

LEADING REPUBLICANS ON CARL
NET APPOINTMENT

The Senate, at the last regular session,
enacted law, called the tenure-of,ofice
law, which was intended to take from the
President the power to appoint, at plea
sure, his Cabinet advieers, and to destroy
the unity and harmony of the Executive
council The first application of that
law, the Radicals contend, has occurred
in the election of Stanton from the War
Office. These same men Incorporated in
the platform upon which Lincoln and
johnson We're nominated and elected,
resolution demanding harmony in the
national councils They were then
anxious to get Montgomery Blair out Of
the Cabinet. The Republican Senators
went further, and, under their own sigma
lures, put forth the following document,
which places those who are roaring at
Stanton's displacement in a most unen-
viable attitude We quote from it as fol-
lows:
The theory OF our government, and the
early and anyorm practical Construction
thereof, is that The President should be aided
by Cabinet council agreeing with him in
political principle and general policy, and
that all important measures and appoint
ments should be the result of their COM
bined wisdom and deliberation. This most
obvious and necessary condition of things,
without which no administration can sue
coed, we and the public believe does not
now exist; and, therefore, such selections
and changes in its members should be made
az will secure, ETC., etc.
