New York, May 2S.
Washington specials to the morning
journals contain the informatson that
from the present appearances the WAR
Department will not change hands I'M
til placed in charge of Secretary con-
firmcd by the Senate, and that Gen.
SchOfield would probably be confirmed
to-day.
The managers will not relax any of
their efforts in consequence of COM
mittee having been organized in the
Senate for the same purpose. Mr. But
leri confident that he will yet be able
to mark the price of at least one Scnator
clearly. Sec. Stanton has not resigned,
but he stated that he would relinquish
his possession because he was not prop
erly sustained by the Senate, but he will
not resign to please Andrew Johnson.
He merely evacuated the position he
was holding for the benefit of the coun-
try when the party refused to sustain
him. Sec. Thomas called upon Gen.
Townsend and asked for the keyes of
the Secretary's Office, but was met with
he question, "Wherc is your authori-
ty?" He said that he was Secretary of
War. Gen. Townsend said that he
must get an order from the President,
and off he posted, and remained at the
White House several hours, but did not
return. The department was finally
closed up at the usual hour without any
act done by any person as Secretary of
War. Many of the best men Of the SEN
ate have no confidence in Schofield.
Mr.. Henderson has gone home, and
will probably resign. 1t is not believed
that Ross and Fowler will ever return
to their seats. Every mail brings letters
and petitions to Trumbull to resign.
Fessenden says that he shall soon 60
home-that he is tired of public life.
Mr.. Seward expressed his desire to re-
tire from the cabinet, and other changes
are immident. Extreme Radicals are
urging an adjournment on the LIST of
July.
Persons whose kilograms were indis-
criminately delivered to the impeach-
ment managers, announce to-day that
they will bring suit against Smith,
agent of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, to test the legality of the ac-
ton of the Company's agent.
A large number of Army and Navy
officers rendered their congratulations to

bers of the House also, who voted for
impeachment, called on the President.
A resolution will be introduced into
the House to-day to commit Woolley to
Jail.
Forney's resignation will be accepted
by the Senate to-day.
Another correspondent says that the
confirmation of Gen. Schofield as Sec
rotary of War will be satisfactory to
Gen. Grant. Stanberry is to be res
tored to the Attorney Generalship.
