WASHINGTON Oct 49, 1867.
Already we have had a visitation from advocates
Of Cabinet reorganization melted by the success OF
the Democrats in last Tuesdays elections lntell-
gcnce Of the coming Of others from New-York ana
elsewhere has reached this city, and if the reports
can be relied upon the President if he still gives ear
to all who come is TO be engr0ssed with this disturb
ing subject for the next two weeks or more. Three
Democrats influential and powerful in their
party, have had separate interviews with
Mr. johnson on the subject within the past
twenty y-four hours. They say that the Presl-
dent must place his administrations III more
direct accord with the Democrats, who are his only
friends; that the Democratic party has sustained
him as against the extreme Radicals, and by its re-
cent victories efectually stayed the hands of those
who threatened impeachment and the instant depo
position of the Executives that it would inspire con-
fdence among his friends if Mr. Johnson should in
fuse warmer blood into the Cabinet and to that end
they suggest an entire change THAT at least three
or four Of the present members should DC
supplanted. The fact that the President listens to
these propositions is taken generally as indicating
determination on his part to adopt them, and 1t IS
telegraphed hence accordingly AS yet there is no
positive assurance Of disposition on the part OF Mr.
Johnson to bring new men into his councils, except
in the War Department heretofore stated, though
it is within the range of probability that yielding to
the pressure he may retire some two OF three mem
bers within month
The Republicans here expect that the Cabinet VIII
be harmOnzed in support of the threatened Presi-
dental coup fetdf and they seriously say that the
aspect of affairs is fraugt with danger. They
fear that Congress may convene in a bold and de-
Gant spirit and adhere to the declared policy of the
extreme men, viz: Impeachment and suspension OF
the President during the trial, and, since the cleo
tions more than ever they believe that Mr. Johnson
will resist and attempt, with force, if necessary to
maintain his as he clalmSl constitutional night to
hold the Office until the judgment after trial Others
however argue that the effect Of the elections has
been to settle these grave questions and that i'm
peachment will find fewer advocates at the next ses-
sion than were counted in the last.
The Star here denies officially the statement that
Gen. Grant has expressed himself as satisfied with
the results of the late elections in Pennsylvania and
Ohio. Gen. Grant also pronounces as false and mali
cous the report going the rounds of the newspapers
puporting to give a synopsis of his evidence before
the judiciary Committee on Impeachment.
The President spent an hour with Gen. Grant at
the War Department on Saturday. There was no
particular business connected with the visit The
President, it is said, merely wished to escape the
bores at the White House.
Ii is doubtful about Secretary McCullochs making
an official report on the subject of the DIS
covery of the counterfeit 1905, as has been
stated. lie has already supplied the bankers
and money brokers throughout the country
all necessary data detect any of the counterfes
in future, and Ia make an official report might inter
fere with gements made to detect and capture
the countcrfciters. The amount of the counteIfets
that have been discovered in the Department, 50 far.
is over $1,000 None were received or discovered nj
the Treasury Yesterday The excitement over the
matter still continues, and it is almost exclusively
the topic of conversation among business men. All
sorts of Iumors are afoat but nothing except it
comes officially is believed. There seems TO he
universal wish that Congress were IN session, some
people thinking that they could provide against any
further danger.
The bankers and brokers have been notified by the
T,as'.s nopart'ent of the peculiar features of the
counterfeit scven-hrties. so far $SOWUUf ovvOrr''
terfeits have been received at the Treasury Depart
ment for conversion. These notes will he returned
70 the parties who sent them, and the Government
will lose nothing on account of the spurious issues
The judgments of the United States Court of
Claims in the Southern Cotton cases. awarded the
Court in June last, to loyal Southern Democrats,
amounting TO 100000 mot two or three millions as
heretofore reported have been adudicated, and
payment made upon the face of the judgments, after
a reduction of q per cent by the Secretary OF the
Treasury These are the first judgments rendered by
the Court of Claims in favor of the loyal Southern
claimants for cotton captured by the United states
forces the proceeds of which turned over to the
Treasury Owen and Wilson, Attorneys, Washing
ton. d. c.. obtained $1,000 Of the settlement.
Twenty-seyen cases were tried and submitted to the
Court at its session last Winter only II OF which
were decided in favor of the claimants; the decision
in the remaining cases being reserved. The success
ful claimants are residents of Charleston, Mobile,
and Atlanta The Court required OF these parties the
most stringent proof that they never voluntarily did
any act in furtheance of the Rebellion one such act
would have destroyed their claims upon the Govern
ment
The Court of Inquiry asked for by Gen. Sickles
will not be granted. 1t isargued that he has already
had his hearing in the mode selected by himself, by
the publication of his correspondence with Gen.
Grant and his own expose of the facts he under
stood them.
Gen. Sherman telegraphs that he will leave New
York tomorrow morning for the West To resume the
command uf his Department and act rs one OF the
Peace Commissioners.
II will he rccolleoted that Mr. Perry Consul at
Tunis. was among the Government officers abroad
when Mr. McCracken, in letter to the Secretary Of
State accused of hostility TO the Administration ana
of anti American practices When Dir. McCiackehs
letter reached Mr.. Perry, the latter rendered his
resignation, which was promptly accepted, as in the
case of Mr. Motley. Mr.. Perry subsequently sought
TO withdraw his resignation, but without success as
the President had appointed Mr. II. Heap to fill the
vacancy. Mr. Perry is on his way home. Mr.. Heap
has not vet started for his post of duty.
