Over the Election.


Over the Election.
New YORK, October IO.-The Tribuno's
Washington special says: A grand
serenado to his Excelleacy is announced
for to- morrow (to-night.) He his expect
ed to make a speech and define is future
policy and tell of his long talked coup
de etat against the Radicals of course.
All sorts of rumors are being circulated
among the people. 1t appears to be the
settled opinion of all that MIR. johnson
will Immediately reconstruct his Cabi-
net-eYen in official circles its not de-
MED that some changes will be made.
Reverdy Johnson was sent for and ar
rived tonight.
In the new arrangement of Mr.. John
son the New York Democrats are to
have the first chance; in fact they are
to control the whole matter. Mr.. john
son is thoroughly scared at their action
in their late convention at Albany, and
will do anything to appease and give
them all they want.
Senator Patterson, the Presidents
son-in-law, stated publicly tonight,
while he and Mr.. Bogy were in hit of
ecstacy over the returns from Ohio, that
Ex-Governor Seymour would succeed
Seward.
From q similar source, it is learned
that Frank p. Blair, Jr., General Nc
Clernand and General Ewing are named
for the War Office. Mr.. johnson has
failed to make the use he wished of
General Sherman.
For Secretary McCulloch's place there
are several names mentioned. Messrs.
Black and Cowan are mentioned as the
representatives of Pennsylvania, and
their friends state that New York pre-
fers and will ask for the Treasury De-
partment and give the State Depart
ment to Pennsylvania. Many think
that McCulloch will not be removed,
but il is known that he will be fought
by the corrupt politicians from Penn
sylvania and Ohio, by whom he could
not be used to aid their schemes. They
will he back in few days, and, flushed
with victory, will think nothing too
great for them to demand.
Stanberry aud Weiles are said to have
done all that was asked of them to in
sure the late triumphs, and nothing is
said as to what is to be done with Ran
dali and Browning. General Howard
is expected TO be assigned TO COM
to be disposed of in some other way.
The clerks in the Department who still
remain true to their Radical principles
are very nervous and fear discharge.
Tomorrow night ii is hoped will bring
forth all. Until then the excitement
will, of course, continue.
The Herald's special says: There is
no foundation for the report of Cabinet
changes; nevertheless, the President, il
is stated, is dissatified with certain
matters in the Treasury Department,
and will soon take measures to get rid
of McCulloch.
Hunnicutt made a speech to the ne
groes in Charles City Court House, and
advised them that if they could not
handle nuskets they could set fire to
the dwellings of their enemies.
The Times special says: There is
good authority for the statement that
President johnson announced to-day
that in view Of the result of the elee-
tions yesterday which he construes ~
an Endorsement of his policy. He would
soon make some necessary changes in
his Cabinet. His remarks, understood,
refer particularly to Secretary Ne
Culloch, whose portsfolio will be given
to some New York Conservative. Eras-
tus Corning's name has been promi-
nently mentioned in this connection.
As q matter of course the appoint
ment Of New York man to the Trea-
sury will result in Secretary Stewards
removal. For his place there are thou
sand and one applicants, but it is now
known that Jerry Black or ex-senator
Cowan have the strongest claims. 1t is
conceded that the Democracy of Penn
sylvania are entitled to recognition,
and they will undoubtedly secure it, but
whether in accordance with these pro-
ducts, which are based OIL mere rumors
in the White House, correct or not, re-
mains to be seen.
Ex-lndian Commissioner Bogy is be-
ing urged by the Western Democrats
for the Secretaryship of the Interior
Department.
General Sherman is still ignorant of
of the reason he was sent for by the
President. and says he will return to
st. Louis on Friday, if the President
will let him.

cred by which 5000 illegal Democratic

ington on business of q private nature.
