The Washington correspondent OF the baiti'
more Gazette writes:
For the first time since the accession o. q
President johnson, his Cabinet are now UNIV
upon his policy. You will hear, however, e9s-
ain enough to the contrary, and sage reveia-
tions of audacious projects on the part OF tHe
Executive. General Thomas doubtless attehd-
ed the Cabinet meeting YESTERDAY, aHa Stan.
ton did not but your reanerS are aware tnat
this fact furnishes no reason for interdlctlng
iscakes and ale.n The President can invite or
exclude any one from these agreeable reun-
ions-they being entirely outside the constitu,,
ton, and so far as know, none OF the varied
legislation Of Congress has yet attempted to
interfere with them. Mr.. Summer, sometime
ago it is true, contemplated bringing: IN bill
providing that such consultations should be
held "without regard 10 race or color, but
think it has not vet become "a law'-nor has
that other bill, compelling the President 10
invite Mr.. Stanton and hugg him to his bosom
twice o week. So do not think this last
sThomas embrogio" will even add single
additional article to the string OF high crimes
and misdemeanors" set forth in the nnpeach-
ment.
The President, Notwithstanding the strenu-
low the leek," is still irm and plucEy. He is
confident of victory in the approaching struG-
gle, and assures his friends that ''all will come
around right A good sign that his hopes are
well founded may be seen IN the adherence OF
his Cabinet to his fortunes. 1t is proverbial
that ''rats leave fallen houses" End ifimni-
nent danger we're ahead, | am positive that at
least, four out of the seven ministers would
quickly show the bottoms Of their feet in the
other direction.
RADICAL REJoIc1NGs OVER NEW HAMrsHIRE-Ex-
EMpr1oN OF MANUFACTURES FROM TAXATION.
The Radical gratulations over the result Of
the New Hampshire election are perfectly wild
and uncomfortable. The handshaking which
ensued this morning among the congressman
of that faith was fearful. Mr.. Sumner unbent
SO much from his usual haufeur as to go all
around the Senate chamber to profer his graf
ulation to his party associates During the
day the two New Hampshire Senator's, Messrs.
Cragin and Patterson, were constantly sending
telegrams, which we're quickly passed around
among the faithful. Mr.. Nye, who ls charac.
terized by facetious turn of mind badgere>i
Senator Dixop, and told him Connecticut
would do likewise in April. In regard to this
election, it may be stated that the result has
not surprised the well-iniormed here Of either
party. The Radicals threw all their energies
into the contest. An immense amount Of
money was raised in this city and sent on to
il fuence voters. MIR. Rollins, the commits
sioner of internal revenue, who resides In New
Hampshire, was on the spot, lending all the
influence that he could command in aid of the
Radical cause. Despite all the efforts which
have bsen made the Radical majority, is in
creased scarcely, if any, over that Of last year,
and comparison Of the vote will show that
all the Radical gains are principally confined
to the border towns, where no doubt the sys-
tenn of colonization was carried on to great
extent.
The House bill exempting manufactures from
taxation. which passed Yesterday, is but a
shrewd dodge Of the Radicals to hoodwink the
and is intended particularly to influence New
England elections. The Senate finance COM
mittee had it under consideration this morn
ing. and have already resolved to restore to
the taxable list q number Of articles that were
struck out. 1t will probably not be reported
until after the Connecticut election.
