? New YORK, August 12-The Her
aids Washington special says Il
am informed tonight that one cause
Of the delay on the part Of the Presi-
dent in the removal of Mr.. Stanton,
is disagreement among his Cabinet
members as to the prepriety of the
step. You. will remember that
I telegraphed last week that Messrs.
Seward and Weed were. ,op7
posed to the removalof Mr.. Stanton,
and [ have reason TO believe that
that statement was correct. 1t is said
that Mr. Seward has taken so decided
stand in the matter, as to have 'oc
casioned bad feeling in the Presi-
dents breast. Mr. Seward all along
has been the adviser of the Cabinet
He has enjoyed the confidence of, his
master, and has had nearly everything
his own way In the matter of appoint
ments. The delays and cancellations
that have so often disgusted the
friends of the President, are supposed
to have been the result of Mr.. Sew :
ard 5 unYise- -counsels.,
| Mr.. johnson perhaps, sees his
mistake, and is anxious, even at the
eleventh hour, to remedy them by
something like decision Of character
and promptness of action. 1t is said
that he has resolved to request Mr..
Seward to- resign, in a note of some
.what equal politeness and brevity to
that delivered to DIR. Stanton. Should
this be true, and | do not pretend that
it is, for can not make the statement
on authority, I am told that Mr..
Adams will be called from England
and offered the portfolios of Secretary
of State. 1t is stated, moreover, that
Mr.. Randall and Mr.. McCulloch are
not altogether to be depended upon
in their, fidelity to the Johnsonian
policy. People say that the former
contemplates resigning at an early
day, and that he desires to do some
thing that will enable him to regain
the confidence of his party.
As to McCulloch there are many
rumors, cne being that the President
belives his Secretary of the Treasury
has brought discredit on the Admin.
istration by appointing improper men
to office, and that his management of
the National finances has not been
what was expected of him. The ru-
NOR as to the difficulty between the
President and Mr. McCulloch, places
the matter at such an extreme point
as to mention the name of probable
successor in the person of Moses Tay-
lor, of New York.
1T has been stated here on very good
authority, that one of the reasons
which actuated Mr.. Stanton when he
refused to resign at the Presidents re-
quest was, that he had received infor-
nation of scheme which it is said is
on foot fer arming military organiza-
tions in the late insurrectionary
States, whose ultimate object is
another assault upon the Govern
main at his post to Illustrate their de-
signs.
!. 1t is further said that one of the
causes of the late rupture between
the President and Secretary of War,
was the refusal of Secretary Stantol
to assign to militia company of
Maryland, composed mainly of rebel
officers and soldiers, battery of light
guns for which they had applied.
The President is said to have directed
him to furnish the battery. but that
Mr. Stanton declined, and still re-
