NEEDLEss.-The apprehension of the democ-
racy of this State, that the negroes win get the
advantage of them politically, Intellectually and
socially, seems to be needless and uncalled for /;
for 1t is shown by statistics that while Ohio has
some lS6, 600 democrats, there are only some
1000 adult malt negroes. They are thus more
than 26 to l, and if all their worst apprehension
should be realized, and young democrats should
be compelled to marry the daughters of these
sons of Ham, the admixture would hardly be
as Objectionable as commonly found at the
South, where the crosses are the result of taste
and preference So far, therefore, from being
distracted by such fears, sound policy would
seem to warrant the encouragement and growth
of the same taste that prevails with the South
ern branch of the party, so that there may be
no obstacle in the way of free admixture,
and the obliberating of all distinctions OF race
and color, and in all probability ofopposite par
ty affiliations

one of the candidates was charged with
being in the Union army during the

State in which there was a great Demo

Mr.. Stanton and the President,

The President thinks he has the power
to remove Mr.. Stanton because he was
appointed by MIR. LINCOLN. and not by
himself In the law defining and fixing
the tenure of office, and which takes a.
way from the President the power to
remove officers, except with the advice
and consent of the Senate, there is this
proviso:
PrOUided, That the Secretaries ofState
of the Treasury, of War, of the Navy, OF
the Interior, and the Postmaster General
and the Attorney General, shall hold
their offices respectively during the
term of the President by whom they
have been APPOINTED, and one month
thereafter. subject to removal by and
with the advice. and consent of the SEN
ate.
When Mr.. johnson succeeded Mr.. Lin
coin, the several members of the Cabinet
proposed to resign their places in order
that the new President might select a
new cabinet; but Mr.. Johnson earnestly
requested every member of MIR. Lincoln's
Cabinet to continue, just as if there had
been no change in the principal Office.
This they did, and no formal nomination
of single member of the Cabinet was
ever made by Mr.. Johnson, until some
subsequent changes took place. This in
vitation to hold on was to all intents and
purposes an appointment bys President
johnson although it lacked the prescri-
bed formalities. Now when he wishes to
get rid of Mr.. Stanton, who will not be
a facile instrument in his hands, he falls
back upon. the legal technieality, that,
because Mr.. Stanton was appointed by
his predecessor, and not by himself,
therefore he has power to remove him.
The more judicious advisers of the Presi-
dent differ with him.

Affairs at Washington.

A Washington dispatch says the first
step towards the development of the
new liberal policy for Southern recon-
struction was brought forward in the
Cabinet the l3th., and Grant promptly
favored it. This was the adoption of an
order to Gen. Sickles commanding him
to rcscind his order suspending the pay
ment of debts, and also his other order,
by which the execution of process in U.
S. Courts in Wilmington, n c., was i'm
peded, it was agreed in the Cabinet meet
ing to instruct Gen. Sickles that he was
in no case to interfere with the mandates
of Federal Courts. 1t is believed by the
President that reconstruction can go on
without abolishing every trace of civil
government in matters of local Legisla-
tion not opposing the theory of recon
struction.
1t is considered that the State Legisla-
lures should be allowed to have their own
way. This new order, therefore, is the
result of these views, and may be regar-
ded as the first check to despotic admin
istration in the South since the suspen-
sion of Stanton. 1t is believed by some
that Sickles will resign, but others assert
that he will not.
No doubt Judge Holt will be removed
at the proper time. The policy towards
the military commanders will be one
of general decapitation. Sheridan will
probably be the first victim; Pope next.
Should the other commanders profit by
the vote of those two and fall gracefully
in with the Johnsonian policy, they will
be allowed to remain in Office for a long
time, and may not be stirred at all if
their support is given heartily and in
real earnest, but if, when Sheridan is
named, .tkeirest tender their designations,
no obstacle will be thrown in the way of
their retirement.
1t has been stated that the General
does not contemplate making any chang
es in the officers at the War office, but
some few changes way be looked for a.
mong the officers in the different Bureaus
in the Department.
