Washington March 81 correspondence Of the Boston
Post-demOcrat.]
The friends Of President Johnson less sanguine
Of his acquittal this evening than they have been be-
fore. The impression is being made upon the minds
OF the radicals that unless they convict him their
party is hopelessly lost and fears entertained
that this impression will insure the conviction OF the
President beyond peradventure. II the issue be the
conviction Of Andrew Johnson or the destruction Of
the radical party the democrats feel satisfied that
conviction will follow. Such is the talk tonight in
political circles.
People have wondered why Stanton continues to
lodge every night in the War Department after all
danger of his being displaced seems over 1t has just
transpired that there are no less than three prom
inent officials OF the department who have declared
that they would feel bound to recognize General
Thomas as Secretary should Mr. Stanton walk out
and he walk in, even for a moment. In view OF this
fact Mr.. Stanton has concluded, "by and with the
advice Of the Senate" not to go out of shot OF his
ante beLtEn.

GENERAL HANCOCK HON. THOMAS EWING.

washington March 81 correspondence Of the Boston
Advertiser-republicanl
General Hancock has asked to be relieved from the
command OF the Fifth. Military District. He does
this because the order removing certain members OF
the New Orleans City Council was revoked by
General Grant; and the more recent revocation OF
his order removing the Street Commissioner OF that
city Ia doubtless new aggravation to his sensitive
MIND The request to be relieved is made In formal
manner after the military CUSTOM through the army
headquarters. 1t was communicated to the Presi-
dent yesterday, and to-day he called on General
Grant for copies Of all correspondence relating to the
dfsappproval Of General Hancock's orders. What
course he win take relative to the application for
change Of station s not known.
The Senate Military Committee has resolved not to
take any action at present on the nomination Of Mr..
Thomas Ewing to be Secretary Of War; and it Is pro-
table until the end Of the Impeachment proceedings.
The committee will, at the proper time, report
against confirming the brevet rank offered by the
President to Generals Sherman and Thomas, and in
doing will ask the Senate to pass resolution very
complimentary to these Offlcers.

MEXICAN BONDS.

PARIS, July 25.-The Corps Legslatif was engaged
for long time last evening in an exciting debate on
the question of the Mexican bonds. NJ Rouher IN
his speech denied that the collection of the Jecker
bonds had any share in the cause of the Mexican
war; NJ Jules Favre in his reply insisted thatit was
the main cause as those creditors the only ones
who had received pay. NJ Rouher replied that the
French Government only protected the Jecker bonds
in French hands The bonds paid were paid by
Macmillan. France prevented other payments. NJ
Favre demanded the names of those who had
their pay.

was passed providing that francs in rentes
