WASHINGTON, September 10.
A lorg interview had by ex-senator
Cowan, of Pennsylvania, with the tresl-
dent Yesterday, and repeated long ih.el,
views or late in which Mr.. johnson ana
Iudge Black, of Pennsylvania, were the
,ar,;cs. have been regarded as intensely
SIGNIFICANT. and again we have the positiVe
announcement that the present week IS TO
;naucura.c important national events. IL
has lonr been an impression among very
many Who keep pace with political affairs
ahous Washington as they progress
that ultimately, during the administration
of President johnson, the W ar Oince
would be presided over by Mr.. Cowan' and
:; ,.;s,y of the fact that it is known General
goldman is NOT to be General Grants
successor. the statement that Cowan VIII
- rcc.iycd with credence. 1t, however,
With the accompanying statement that
Jndoc Black is to enter the State Depart
n,cnt remains to be proved. The appoint
mont of two Cabinet officers, both from
the same State, and in which an uncertain
poli,ical contest is approaching It's issue,
would be regarded by the enemies of the
President as significant Of his intentions
not to allow its loss to the party opposing
radicalism. With regard to this election II
may here be stated that every day produces
an increase Of excitement in political cir
Giles here which is doubtless fully equal to
the state Of feeling manifested in PcnnSyi-
yania itself. This excited state OF the
public mind is the natural cause OF the
uncertainty which prevails regarding the
result. Conservative advlceS are beng
constantly received from there, and are
very favorable to that party. The lact
that the Radicals enter upon the hShl
almost pledged to Impeachment ana
through their prominent leaders entirely
q,ledued to negro suffrage, will, it is strongly
asserted BY Pennsylvania politicians, very
materially lessen their vote, even II 1t does
not carry the State for the Democratic
marty. The same is the case in New York,
where the election, however, does not
occur until nearly month later than III
PENNSYLVANIA, and if the Democrats are
successful in the State part OF which
Thad. Stevens represents, there Will be no
fear of their losing New York.
But little talk of the next Presidential
election is Row being INDUCED i'll here
The rumors of changes in the Cabinet, and
other reports equally exciting, have had
the effect of putting stop to all discus
sion as to what will be the move OF each
party with regard to It's candidate for the
next Presidency. Two things, though
seem to be very definitely concurrcd in
and one of these is that out Of the multi
tude of candidates that present thcmsclvc:
from the ranks Of the Radicals the one
who has the best chance at present i
Chief Justice Chase: and it is generally
admitted that whatever may be the reSui
Of coming elections and other matters We
undetermined, the Democratic party III
tend 10 make fight in the name OF De
mocracy alone, inviting the support OF al
who are opposed to high taxes, negro SUI
fragc, and prescription Of all kinds. Thes
are events Of the future, however, and a
the proper time will be made manifest t
all.
1t seems to he the disposition on tn
part of several TO regard the coming dc
monstration at Antietam as one solely
political character III the hands OF I'll
friends Of President Johnson. Consider
ing how closely the name OF Gcncra
Mcclellan is connected with that battle
ground, and the opinion which the Rcput
lean party has Of his political record,
may perhaps be difficult 10 dScOnnect IN
affair of next Tuesday with conscrvatlv
Influences. 1t is also Objectionable TO
great many on account Of the fact tn;
President Johnson and Ex-Governor Brac
ford and Governor Swami, Of Maryland
will take an active part in the proceeding
1t seems as il hencelorth in this countr
there must be two separate and clStlnc
ideas of loyalty and patriotism, or else Il
many as there are political parties in ex
istcncc.
We hear much talk about the Presden
getting ready to Gust Congress, a Ia Crom
well, when il meets, and perform all man
ner Of great deeds in defence OF his polio
before the 2lst Of November and II
little circulation has been given to spccr
lalionS of this kind-one result OF whic
has been to run gold up in New York an
help stock iobhing considerably. There
10 one who has an iota Of authority it
making any such representations. Th
President has given no intimatiou wha
ever Of any such designs and the fact
that q great part of the extreme sens;
tional theories of the present day are COT
cocted and put in circulation expressly fc
the benefit of spectators in gold an
stocks in Wall street II.
