The PRESIDENTS PLoTs.- The following
paragraphs from the Boston Advertisers
Washington special explains the spirit of the
late proceedings of the Executive;
There are grave reasons for believing that
the r esident rs advising and counselling GER
tain parties from the South, who are here pre-
pairing to carry cases under the civil rig hts bill
and the reconstruction acts into the Supreme
Court They represent him as confident that
the court will declare against the constitution
atty of the reconstruction measures at least
and they add that in this event he has given
them assurances that he would at once issue a
proclamation ordering a reversal of much that
has been done in the South ~ thc various u.s.
trct comnaanders. Jerry Black has been EN-
gagged as counsel by these parties and he is at
work upon the points of an argument to be
made hefore the court. 1t is not yet indicated
in what form nor at what time the matter will
be brought up. The movers in it derive much
comfort from the suggestions made by the
President. -..
1t is believed in some circles that the Presi-
dents late acts in the way of removing officers
total defeat of the Congressional plan of re-
Gen. Pope's case was FASTENED, and the re-
moval of Gen. Swayne determined upon, after
conference with delegation of ex-rebels from
Alabama. They informed the President that
unless he acted promptly nothing could pre-
vent the ratification of the Alabama constitu-
ton, and that the removal of General Swayne
as well as of General Pope was absolutely nec-
essary to render the defeat of the constitution
