withstanding the seeming advantages "nion
Congress and the military partisans of Stanton
have gained, the President and his advisers are
IN the hest spirits and bide their time without
any serious apprehensions.
The leyee held by the President last night
was complete ovation. The east room was
never more densely filled with brilliant COM
pany, and there was far more eagerness mani
tested to take MIR. Johnson by the hand, and
to give expression to sympathy and approval,
than ia usual on such occasions. Nor is this
spirit confined to Washington only. Not an hour
masses that the President does not receive
dispatches FROM the leading cities, imploring
him not to yield an inch, and pledging him the
cordial support Of an awakened people. The
Radicals of the House will delay as little as
possible in presenting the articles of impeach-
ment TO the Senate, but once the latter body
obtains control of the case, the proceedings
will become slow and cautious to the last de-
gree.
Your correspondent has just returned from
tbe While House. where the President and
his advisers have been in consultation for the
last two hours. I am enabled to inform you
that the President has determined upon C
change OF tact cs tomorrow. Heretofore his
adversaries have enjoyed signal advantage
in having Judge Cartier, a bitter Radical, pre-
siding upon the bench Of the District Court.
The official position Of Cartier enables
him to postpone the Presidents legal
redress from day TO day, and gains time Tor
the pa1tisans of Stanton. To remedy this the
application for writ of quo aoarronto has
been abandoned, and tomorrow the sureties
OF the new Secretary Of War, General L.
Thomas, will proceed to surrender him to the
United States Marshal. General Thomas will
refnse to give other BAIL and will then be sent
to iail. Thereupon writ Of haoeas corpus
will be applied for, and the matter in that
shape will be brought, without delay. before
the Supreme Court Of the United States. This
10 the programme which has been arranged
for tomorrow within the last hour.
An intimate friend of Mr.. Bingham, who has
sean the draft O. the articles OF impeachment,
informs me tonight that one of the leading
comments of that document will charge tho
President with being "an obstruction to recon-
struction."
