The Situation at the Capttal--E The Cabi-
nes Willing to MISREPRESENTATION TO
Accept the Congressional Plan of Re
eonstructiOn-Cabine of Eminent
Men 90 be Formed-Csrant has not
Declined the Nomination for PresI-
dent.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-The following
statement is predicaied on information de-
rived from high, respectable sources 1t is
generally known here that some Of the
members, if not ALL Of President Johnsons
Cabinet have signified their willingness to
retire from office, and hence there is much
speculation on that subject. Prominent
gentlemen of both parties, in a conversa-
ton recently, agreed in the sentiment that
much of the trouble between Congress and
the President springs from the defect of
the Executive administration under our
present form of government, and that if the
ministry here, as in England, would retire
and give place to one in accord with the
expressed will of the people, we should
have had peace long ago. Reconstruction,
Under the present plan, having been re-
jecled, it is now thought by Congressman
of both parties that he will agree to admit
EOhthCih REPRESENTATIVES, III WY DEdG-
ticable, in order that il may have no effect
upon their judgment in passing on articles
of Impeachment. Is is said that if i'm
parchment had not been pending, there is
but little doubt that new Cabinet would
long since have been designated, composed
of the most distinguished and eminent men
of the country. 1t should not, therefore,
create surprise If thorough change should
be made in connection with political
affairs. Old o. ....
If these conjeCtures should be realized,
it will remain for the Senate in view of
the probable defeat of the remaining arti-
Giles of Impeachment on the 26th, TO ac-
cept or reject what is offered in good faith,
and which, if conceived and executed in
the right spirit, would lead to the restora-
ton of the Union and to the peace and
prosperity of the country.
1t is not true that President johnson
has indicated the precise party character
of the contem plated Cabinet appointments,
further than that they shall be men of en-
inent abilities "a to challenge the confidence
and respect of the entire country.
A report has been in circulation to-day
that Gen. Grant has written a letter de-
claring that he will not accept the nomina-
ton for President on the platform of gen
eral negro suffrage, but after careful inqui-
ry it cannot be believed. Republican mem
bers say there isno truth whatever in the
rumor. impeachment managers viii to-
morrow commence the inquiry as to the
alleged improper or corrupt means said
to have been used 20 influence the deter
mination of the Senate upon articles of inn
parchment.
There is no truth in the report that
Chief Justice Chase called, yesterday, on
President Johnson TO congratulate him on
the result of the Senate's vote on the elev-
enth Impeachment article,
Nashville union and dispatch. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1866-1868, 1868-05-19

dare carry out the investigation. 1t will
fail as disastrously as Impeachment.
The Radicals were terror-stricken by
the rumor that Grant would decline the
nomination because Of the failure of con-
viction, and he did make such a decIara-
tion some days since, and out Of it have
grown these reports. He assured Senator
tonight that he had written no such letter.
The truth is he is as mad on the subject Of
the Presidency as Stevens on impeachment
or Sumner on negro questions. He don't
Intend to risk anything, for he don't intend
TO resign his present position pending the
election.
The report that Chase visited johnson
yesterday is lie Of Forney's.
In view of the hopelessness of impeach-
ment, Stanton has been consulting with
other conspirators about giving up the War
Office.
The President said to a Representative
yesterday the names of the men in the
Senate who yesterday dared to do right in
defiance of the pressure of their party
would be written in history in letters OF
gold.
There are rumors of changes in the Cabi-
net shortly; that thepresent members will re-
tire, TO be succeeded by men decidedly Con-
| sentative in opinion, but Of eminent worth,
and such as will command the confidence
Of the whole country, and that they will
be selected without regard TO party as a
peace offering to the Presidents implaeable
foes. This is stated as a rumor.

TIE MAR ON CHASE.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati CAroHicls (Radican writes, on
the 18th inst, as follows:
Early in the trial the central figure
among the Republicans opposed to inn
parchment was Chief Justice Chase. His
position made il unnecessary that his opin-
ions should be public, but they have never
theless been we'll known here, and his
bearing during the trial has been marked
by the same characteristics which 80 early
induced distrnst Of Senators Grimes and
Trumbull. He has been, throughout, most
intimate with the Presidents counsel, and
with Reverdy Johnson, who furnishes the
apparent respectability and real brain for
the Democratic side OF the Senate, and
lastly, with all the doubtful Republicans.
These have been gathered around him at
dinner parties and have been made the
special recipients of the social blandish-
ments in which his daughter is 80 well
versed. Chase's own ambition, and his
hostility to Wade, and still greater hes
tilitY 10 Grant, are known. 1t is afso
known that each Of the four Republicans
who have already declared for his aCquittal
are opposed 10 Grant, and some Of them
have personal Piqnes TO crafty At Mr..
Wade's expense.

The election of General Conference off,
Gers was made the special order for ten
o'clock, Tuesday, the 18th inst.
DR.. Wentworth, Of Troy, submitted n
resolution that the committee on missions
be instructed to consider and report on be-
half OF separating him from the foreign
department with an office for the former
in the West and the latter in the East.
The committee on Episcopacy reported
in part, indorsing the administration of
bishops so far as it had come under tn cir
review.
DIR. Reid, from the committee on church
extension, presented \ report in part, which
was ordered printed.
The special committee OF the American
and Foreign Union reported that collec-
tons be taken in its behalf SO far as may
be found compatible with other church in-
terests.
o. Hay, Chairman Of the COMMITTEES ap-
pointed at the Laymen's Convention 10
prepare and present an address 10 the con-
ference, presented the address, which was
read by the Secretary. 1t stated that five
only Of all The Annual Conferences bad
voted against the measure, and that the
prepouderance in favor of petitioners 30
his conference was as ten TO one. The adj
dress goes on to argue at length, in the
most respectful language, that all the
highest interests Of the church will be pre-
NOTED by this confession TO the laity. 5
DR.. Haven read a telegram from the
African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church
Conference, now being held in Washing
ton. asking If a delegation would be re-
ceiyed by the General Conference if fur
nished with credentials. To it the Seere-
/ tary was ordered TO answer by telegraph,
Informing them that they would receive a
cordial and hearty reception.

APEACE OFFERING.

The telegraph reports that all the
membersof tie Cabinet have signifed
10 the President their willingness to re.
sign, and that there is a probability that
a reorganization of the Cabinet will take
place. IL is also intimated that the
President, in the event of acquittal, will
accept the Congressional plan Of recon-
struction. The reorganization Of the
Cabinet and the acceptance of the recon-
struction plan Of Congress is said to be a
peace-oaering TO Congress, and especially
to those members of the Republican
party who have opposed impeachment
In this connection, the Washington corr
respondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette re :
fers as follows to a statement Of Senator
Henderson to the Missouri delegation at
an interview they had with him on the
night of the 10Th Instant
"He gave it as his opinion that the
failure of impeachment would not inIure
the Republican party That he had no
political hopes outside of the Radical
party. That he expected to go to Missouri
and support in the canvass of the summer
the nominee Of the Chicago Convention,
and further, that he expected TO favor
negro suffrage. lie then gave as reason
for the belief that the Republican party
would not be damaged by the acquittal,
that according to hA Information the
President would certainly send to the
Senate the day after he should be acquitted,
nominations of full Cabinet, all of whom
were TO be Republicans, and that the
President was committed 10 adopt all the
main features of the Congressional plan OF
reconstruction"

did many others.

THE Press and Times coos as gently
as dove about the Republican Senators
who voted against the conviction OF the
President. As wonderful as it may
seem, that paper has arrived at the cons
clusion that Republican Senator may
vote against conyicting the President and
still be an honest man 1t very sagely
considers that all the bitter words and
angry resolutions expended upon profni-
nent Republicans who oppose the inn
parchment of Johnson is that much
energy spent for naught' The Press
and Times frankly admits that the South
ern Radicals wanted johnson convicted
and deposed for personal reasons" It
might as truthfully have said as much of
the whole crew Of impeachers
