sident.
Tho publication Of the corrcspcndence between the
President and Geuca Grant in relation TO che surrender
the War Department. Stanton has at last furnished
sufficient groundS Ia tho estUaton Of the radicals
tndnce the inauguration Of new nqGison looking 10
the impeachment OF the President Ever since the
contents OF that correspondence have become xnovn
the radicals hare been plotting together devise
plan 10 consuramate against the Executive
Of TITO government locking not only to further
traction OF Ills powers hut the usarpation Of the Office
itself.
This Determination very evident she disposition
or the correspondence after 1t received By the
House The moss proper committee TO which thR cor
rependence Should have been referred that the
judiciary, and motion 70 effect such rsfcrence
actcay made the House by Mr.. Wilson, or aowa its
chairman But this did meet the views or the ma.
joriy Of the radicals The justice which character
ized the results of the Hrst attesnpt at i'm
peachmext appeared to gve suflcient warn,ag
that necessary and unprinciped movement
partisan annioey shouldhs trustsdao less scsupu-
ious hands. Old Ihad stevens. therefore, moved the
reference Of the correspondence to she Commetse
RecensructoB doubtless considering that he could
there manage the matter in his ewn way. TRis Com.
moe is composed OF so7en radicals and democrats
The leaders the hesh and from. OF radicalsm Old
Yhad is the figure head, while Boutwell, and Bingham
are tho workers. Esrnsworth, Hulburd, Beaman and
Paine the suberdnaes, pssant to the VIII Of
leaders. Beck. Of Kentucky, and BROOKS, of
New York, represent the democratic side. All
the afternoon OF Saturday .tas in the darkness and
obscurity Of baeement roon in the Capitol the commit
tee engaged in planning the schemes maniesty
inmica TO the quiet and security Of the government
Grant, in no friendly spirit toward the President
picked to furnish the basis OF chsrge OF mpeach
ment The whole movement 1t Is attempted to keep
as quiet as possible. Tnis very mystery bodies arm
resolution TO undertake desperate game To give their
operations color OF legality it has been determined
take testimony, but the indications that this will
be but mockery, aud that few days will saiace
bring the committee TO issue. The radicals OF the
House appear sangune OF success in this Eed
tempt aud some go SO far 20 declare that their
opinion in less than ten days articles Of Impeachment
viii have been passed by House. The brewing storm
is already manifest in the gloom which displays itself
she conversation OF peaceabe citizens rhe government
is evidently Oh the verge OF great crisis
1he Presidents ReJoinder To GENERA Grants
Letter.
The Presidents letter TO General Grant 10 response
tho statement by the later, that the conduct of the
Executive AIMED at Involving Dm In The stance OF
the law vefy eagerly by tho pos ticians here
II Is anticipated that the Executive rcjondsr will be
very caustic, and will disclose further details
about the relations between the President aud General
Grant which may place he iat,or In sdinerent Light
from that which ho might desire The radicals al
though they made great ado about calling for this
feature in the correspondence by u resolution intro
duced in the House OF Representatives,, have
undergone within the past twen.y-foar hours
very summary change OF base In tie matter
II would appear that they hapo gol wind OF
tho nature OF this letter, whicn, n is under
stood the President sharply analyses points BY
the statement OF CERTAIN facts which wss primarily
considered there necessity OF msxlng public.
IA the radicals have abandoned their determination 20
call for the letter which TOO, IL was thought, might
present hanclo to take hold OF 20 pump up a OF
impeachment, tho democrats have .akez tho matter
into consideration, and talk OF sPIDgng some
action upon their opponents by attempting them
selves the passage Of resolution calling
for the letter. IL expected that tho Gals viii op-
pose this and II 80 disposed Will defeat tno publication
through that channel The democrats getting their
heads together the subsct, bot have moi yet arrived
nj any determination.
