IMPEACHMENT IN A NEW FORM
Johnson Watching Members Of Congress

WASHINGTON, August %, 1867.
It has transpired that while the Swami
Ponce-C commissioners imbrogHo was going
on at Baltimore last spring, President John
son tried to give Governor Swami the con-
troll of the federal troops at Fort McHenry
to force the loyal police commissioners ont
of office. Grant protested against such
proceedings in state regularly in the
Union, and forced Johnson to abandon the
conspiracy he had formed.
No faith is to be placed in the report pub
lished in the Constitutional Union of
this city, on the goth instant, Of a meeting
" of prominent and influential gentlemen.
of all shades of political opinion and Of all
sections who were represented as having
nominated johnson for president, and Gen
eral Sherman for vice-president. A few
men, including an ex-senator elect of
your state, possessing no political influence,
had frolic at Crystal springs, and there
agreed to support johnson and Sherman.
The impression gains ground among Re-
publicans that either Colfax or Chase will
be nominated for president, and that some
New England man, probably Banks, vii! be
nominated as yice.presiient by the 3epub
| licans.
There is great excitement over the John
son.Grant correspondence about Sheridan
case. 1t is conceded by all parties that
Grant has the advantage and IS master Q.
| the situation.
Immediately after Stanton's removal, the
president issued an order for the removal Of
professor Lieber from the Office Of keeper
of the rebel archives. johnson thus get;
control OF important papers i'm plicating hi:
friends in crimes and treason, and displace
a good Radical from Office.
Il is well known that johnson has pai'
spies in his employ, following and watcf
ing Radical congressman, finding out wha
evidence is obtained against him, and hun
ing counter-eyidence to be used on the in
peachment trial. PAGSON.

ADJUSTMENTS. A

THE ST. CHARLES THEATRE.--In response
to polite invitation from Mr.. N. D. Poma
rede, the artist of the st. Charles Theatre,
we paid visit to that establishment last
night, where we found a number of our cit
izens, members of the press, disciples of
Thespis and others, examining the in
side of the theatre which has just
passed under the tasty hands of the artist,
Mr.. Pomarede. There is a great change
in the general appearance, the facings of
the galleries, dress circle and boxes having
been beautifully ornamented with lilac, gilt
pearl and blue, giving the whole q light and
! more airy appearance than it had when the
| prevailing color was a sort of red. The
| drop curtain is very pretty. the central fig.
ure being group of ten figures in the
| court costume of Louis XIV, OF whom
| eight are females. They are engaged in a
| sort of parlor concert, with guitar, harp,
| violin and piano, ETC., or melodeon. The
| figures without instruments are evidently
vocalists, -as they have sheet music in
| their hands. We have never seen the St.
| Charles theatre present such an elegant ap-
pearance in point of artistic display as it
| did last night.
| Ben DeBar has purchased the whole prop
erty of the theatre lot, building, scenery,
| and all and will be the sole manager and
proprietor this season. We learn that he
intends to tear the old building down next
summer and construct Il more modern and
spacious theatre; but that is matter that
belongs to the future chronicler. The St.
Charles will open for the season about the
goth of October and it is said that Forrest
will be the first star. Of course, there viii
be immense audiences during his engage
ment. 1t is now nearly twenty-five year
since this great actor visited this city, and
the impression he created on the minds o
some of the old habitues is still vivid. This
opening, and the preparations already made
give an earnest of lively time among tbs
theatres next winter, as the other establish
ments WILL no doubt, put forth their bes'
efforts to come up to any standard the st
, Charles may set up.
OPENING OF THE ACADEMY.-The Academ
of Music, one of the most popular places
g | amusement in the city, will be opened o
the I'd of September. The theatre has bee
repainted throughout, redecorated. an
fitted up in fine style. The entry way ha
been tagged with marble slabs, alternat
I black and white, and the boy-office r.
touched by the beauty-giying hand of th

q tation. One of the leading features Of til
establishment is the great ventilating an
cooling system, by means of which the a
o of the theatre is changed every minute.

ORDER FROM GEN. scHOrIELI
THE JORNSON-GRANT CORRESPONDENCE,
Interesting miscellaneous Intelligence
Dispatches to the Associated Press,
From Washington.

WASHINGTON, August 26.-The excitement
in the New York gold room had its origin
in a National InteRigeHcer editorial of this
morning, which only tells an old story that
the members of the cabinet, in view OF
Stanton's tenacity, had informally placed
their offices at the disposal OF the president.
There is no probability OF immediate cabi-
net changes.
An Immense crowd witnessed the defeat
of the Nationals by the Mutuals of New
York. The president was on the ground,
and was received with hearty cheers.
Internal revenue receipts to-day $3.50, 900.
A private letter from Fort Hays says one
company of cavalry at that post lost twenty
one men by cholera.

sheridan has performed his civil duties
faithfully, and intelligently. His removal
VIII only be regarded as an effort to defeat
the laws of congress. 1t will be interpreted
by the unreconstructed elements in the
south those who did all they could to
break up this government by arms, and now
wish to be the only element consulted as to
the method of restoring order-as a tri-
umph. 1t will embolden them to renewed
opposition to the will of the loyal masses,
believing that they have the executive with
them.
Whom have designated as his successor,
is well known to the country, having won
high and honorable distinction in the field.
He has SINCE in the execution of the re-
sponsible duties of department COM
mander, exhibited great ability, sound
discretion and sterling patriotism. He has
not failed, under the most trying circum-
stances, to enforce the laws, to preserve
order, to encourage the restoration of civil
authority, and to promote as far as possible
spirit of reconciliation. His administra
tion of the department of the Cumberland
will certainly compare most favorably with
that Of General Sheridan in the fifth
10 be in disturbed condition, and a
bitter feeling of antagonism seems
to have resulted from General SheridaA's
management. He has rendered himself ex-
ceedingly obnoxious by the manner in
which he has exercised even the powers
conferred by congress, and still more so by
a resort to authority not granted by law,
nor necessary to its faithful and efficient
execution. His rule has in fact, been one
Of absolute tyranny, without reference to
the principles of our government or the
nature of our free institutions.
The state of affairs which has resulted
from the course he has pursued has serious
! ly intertered with a harmonious, satistac-
| tory, and speedy execution of the acts of
| congress, and is alone sufficient to justify a
| a change.
His removal, therefore, cannot be regarded
as an effort to defeat the laws of con-
gress for the object is to facilitate their exc
| cution.
The services of Gen. Thomas in battling
for the union entities him to some conside
ration. He has repeatedly entered his pro.
test against being assigned to either of the
five military district :, and especially to be-
ing assigned to relieve General Sheridan.
General Hancock ought not to be re-
moved from where he is. His department
is complicated one which will take a new
commander some time to become &C
quainted with. There are military reasons
pecuniary reasons, and above all, patriotic
reasons why this order should not be in
sisted on.
