Radical Plans for DepOsing the Presi-
dent and Carrying stanton into the
Presidential Chair.
From the ~ Y. Herald
learn this evening from gentleman who is
generally regarded as EaVing Sufticent Shrewd-
ness and foresight to see few moves ahead in
the political game, that little plan has just
Mr.. stanton to the White House The plan is
said to have received its finishing stroke during
the visit of Hon. Simon Cameron to this CITY,
which terminated this morning, MIR. Cameron
having left for Pennsylvania. 1 give IL as a
rumor coming from radical source.
In carrying out the plan the events, it is said,
will occur as follows:-Mr. Stanton will resign
as Secretary of War, which will be followed by
| the resignation of Senator Cameron. Governor
| Geary will appoint Mr.. Stanton United States
Senator from Pennsylvania; Mr.. Wade will
! then resign as President of the Senate, and Mr..
| Stanton will be his successor. The President

! Mr.. Wade will then be reelected President OF
the Senate, and Simon Cameron reappointed
| Senator, vice Stanton, Chief Magistrate of the
United States.
Radical stump Speakers for Virginia.
LII. Chandler, District Attorney at Norfolk,
| Va, and l.. Edwin Dudley, leave here in day
or two for political tour in the Shenandoah
| Valley, Va, under the auspices OF the radical
| Congressional Committee.

Order-POpe To BE Displaced - Fred.
Douglass to Succeed General Howard.
The radical papers charge that Special Order
No. 400, issued by General Grant TO District
| Commanders, is a complete answer to the alle-
| cations that the General had receded from the
| position assumed in the fifth clause of his in
| structions to General Thomas. A comparison
| of the two orders will show how far the answer
is complete. The Instructions to General
Thomas were to execute all orders he may
fnd in force, unless authorized by the General
of the Army to amend, alter, or modify them"
order No. 420 says:-Commanders OF Districts
will make no appointments TO civil office of
persons who have been removed by themselves
or their predecessors In command"
There would seem TO be wide difference be.
1 tween the scope of these two orders. The one
| requires the execution of all orders regarding
registration, election, juries etc etc. The other
foTbids the reappointment to civil offices of
I persons who had been removed understand

| raj Grants order? Wells would not hold his
| office by virtue of any military appointment,
| but under the Constitution of Louisiana, and
| by virtue of his election by the people The
| same rule will hold in the case of the Governor
| of Texas. While these gentlemen would refuse
| q military appointment TO office, have no
| doubt they would be pleased at being restored
| TO the offices from which they were deposed by
| General Sheridan, General Grant will have to
| remodel order No. 420.
| Some of the correspondents of the radical
press have been giving out portions OF General
| GRANTS private letter to the President. The
| General should crafty his friends, and publish
| the whole letter. The last clause, In which he

and General Sheridan, would be particularly
