he had added his own influence to that
of others in urging the President to issue
his proclamation Of amnesty; and when
the document appeared, and omitted
many entitled to its benefits, he returned
to Washington and asked for an extern

him to issue a pardon to General For

He..wanted to speak plainly to the col

RuD,o,ed Changes in ne cabinet.

The following statement is predicated
on the information derived from highly
respectable sources:
1t is generally known here that some
of the members, If not all, of the Cabi-
net of President Johnson have signitied
their Willingness to retire from office,
and hence there is much speculation on
that subject. Prominent gentlemen of
both parties, in conversation recently,
agreed in the sentiment that much of
the trouble between Congress and the
President springs from II defect of the
Executive administration under our pre-
sent form of government, and that if the
Ministry here, as in England, would re-
tire and give place to one in accord with
the expressed will of the people, we
should have had peace long ago.
Reconstruction under the Presidents
plan having been rejected, it is now
thought by Congressman of both parties
that he will agree to admit Southern
Representatives in any way practicable,
in order that the national interests OF
the South may be heard and cared for
i'll Congress The statement that the
President has made any promises to Con-
servatiVe Senators voting for acquittal-
to support or uphold them by the power
VI MS Untrue. hose
Republicans voting against impeach-
ment claim to be as decid, dly opposed
to President Johnson's political course
as are the most earnest Radicals. They
regard impeachment as u judicial and
not political proceeding.
IL is known that they claim to be rs
determined to carry out the congressiOn-
al policy as are their more radical col
| leagues, but they do not think that the
President either can or will attempt fur
ther Instructions. They hope and be-
lieve that he will change his Cabinet to
n great extent at least, and by Il more
liberal policy secure a better accord with
Congress. But whatever he may do or
not do in this behalf has had and can
have no effect on their judgment in pas
sing on the articles of Impeachment
II, it is said, impeachment had not been
pending, there is little doubt that a new
Cabinet would long sinco have been dcs-
| ignated, composed of the most diStng-
uished and cminentmen of the country.
1t should not therefore, create surprise
ii a thorough change shall be made in
the complexion of political affairs.
If these conjectures should be realized,
it will remain for the Senate, in view of
the probable defeat of the remaining
articles of impeachment on the Goth
inst, to accept or reject what, if offered
and accepted in good faith, must soon
lead to the restoration of the Union and
the peace and prosperity of the country.
1t is not true that President johnson
has indicated the precise party charac-
ter of his contemplated Cabinet appoint
ments, further than that they shall be
men of eminent abilities, such as tC
challenge the confidence and respect OF
the entire country.
