Special telegram to the Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, January 15.-No impor-
tant occurrence in the Stanton imbroglio
has transpired to-day. 1t is announced in
the city papers that the President has
issued an order forbidding the recognition
of Stanton as Secretary of War, but no
such order has been made, nor is such ac-
ton contemplated. Generals Grant and
Sherman had an interview with the Presi-
dent this morning with view to the
settlement of difficulty and the resig-
nation of Stanton. The subject was tho
roughly discussed, but no definite con-
clusion was arrived at. These officers
then proceeded to the War Depart
ment, and there had q conversation
with Stanton, who is represented as will
ing to resign, notwithstanding the advice
Of some Of his political friends to the con-
trary. Generals Grant and Sherman adj
wise him to resign. There are some who
believe the resignation will be handed
to the President tomorrow; again,
others who should know represent that
Stanton has determined positively not to
resign. There was no foundation for his
report that Stanton had drawn pay for the
salary during the time he was suspended.
The law expressly forbids such payment.
1t is learned from Republican member
of Congress that there is settled deter
mination on the part Of Radical members
to impeach the President upon the first
semblance of cause for such proceedings.
A spirit of revenge prompts some, and
others assert that they must have the Ex-
ecutive Office to insure success in the
Radical plan of reconstruction, and to
make sure Of the election of their Presi-
dent. WALLACE.

THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER ON THE
RECONSTRUCTION BILL.-The National In
teNiqencer concludes an elaborate review
of the new military reconstruction bill as
follows:
alt 1.-THE billy can come to nothing with
out the cooperation Of the General of the
army. 1t all rests on him, whatever his
reticence. This is matter in which reti-
cence might be misunderstood. At the first
overt act, however slight,-ooere 1t but to
orally promise to accept the functions offered
in it after such I'LL had been passed ouer
the veto-he General Of the army must be
cast into Jail to auat his trial for treason
to his country unless the Chief Magistrate
Of that countryis false to the trust Of the
people and his oath Of office"

What's in the Wind /?

In the United States Senate on Tuesday
Mr.. EDMUNDs, of Vermont, introduced o
bill to prevent the holding of civil Offices
by military officers, and to prevent the
holding of more than one office ct time.
What does this mean Is it aimed at
General GRANT or General SCHOFIELD
Does Radicalism mean to declare its indie
pendence of the military power? Or is it
that thirst for office-a great Radical in
frmity--which prompts to rebellion
against one man holding two or more Offices to
the exclusion of hungry expectants )? Some
body, We suspect, wanting Cabinet ap-
pointment, has an eye upon the War Office /;
and fearing General GRANT may incline to
retain General SCHoFIELD, proposes to set
tie that officers hash by making him incl
igible. Certainly the movement is curious,
and whatever be its fate, it is sign that
somebody is not satisfied. All we have to
say is, that the Radical party, whose out
RACES rest upon force, should by all means
keep on good terms with the military.

how to appreciate. There be more Thames
emerging from the weird eauldron
We had determined not again to disouSS
the war. We have learned to regard II aS
a providential dispensation-as Q way 70
the abolition Of slavery-an institution Tor
which tho South (the sufferer) was not
resnons;ble, but the North was yet an In
st;tution which, in its nature, could not
have endured. So considering it, we have
endeavored to school ourselves and, as far
"a our influence could, others into calm
acou;escence, freed from malice and vim
dictiyeness. 1t is time, indeed, that the
neople of both sections should have put
themselves into this salutary mental train
ing. We cannot but express our surprise
at such time that man such as General
SHERMAN should uncover the dying enbers
of strife and heap obloquy upon the de-
feated and the PROSTATE. We trust that
this is the last ungenerous and unjustihable
example of this kind which shall shock the
sensibilities of all thinking and patriotic
men.

The Ravening Wolves.

The "cffrontery Of incompetency," as
RrsKrS calls it, is quite amazing; and no.
where on earth have we had such glaring
instances of it as in this very State from
the men who have invaded it for the pur-
pose of living upon her people, whom they
denounce as rebels. They are men without
character, without capacity, and without
means. They have not been installed IN
Office as rapidly as they expected anu oe
ing in a most needy condition, are reaoy -
play any desperate game wkic may pro
misc q breach in the treasury for their
n;rnble fingers. The mock-judge OF the
limited States district court essays to help
them BY his late outrageous decisions. No
thing is too monstrous for these people.
They would destroy the prosperity Of the
State and bring society to state of anarchy
10 get into Office and divide out the public
treasure amongst themselves.
These brazen-faced incompetents pro-
claim that "rebels" must be expelled from
Office. while, had they their dues, not few
Of them would be added to WARDwELL's
happy family. From the day of LEES sur
render there has not been single arm
raised in resistance to the Government In
this State or in the whole South. The peo-
pie everywhere surrendered, and knowing
that they must live under the Government,
they we're sincerely DESTROYS Of doing 80 IN
peace, and to contribute their aid to pro-
mote the benefcence Of that Government
without qualification or even mental reser-
walton. To applythe term "rebel" tosuch
o people is an atrocious calumny. Ihey
who apply it know this, and but that they
have a motive they would not be guilty
Of SO great q falsehood. That motive
stamps them with the double crime Of
attempting to gain personal benefit by
prevarication. They would disqualify us
all from holding the Offices of our
own Government by proclaiming US "re-
bells" while they would force themselves
into those offices upon their self-asserted
"loilty." There never was more patent
hypocrisy. Never was there such impu-
dent pretension from men of SO little merit.
They move amongst people whom they
insult daily; yet they are bowling for the
common treasure collected from the pockets
of those people to defray the expenses OF
preserving that order and justice which
these greedy men are ever disturbing and
defeating. They claim to be loyal, while
they are traitors to every principle of honor
and truth, and to the country whose welfare
is constantly imperilled by their agitations.
Coming one day into the State, on the next
they claim to be judges, sheritfs, and ma
gistrates, administering the laws of people
who do not know them, and would not elect
them. The very impudence of such claims
is proof of their utter unworthiness.
But these pests will have their day;
after which they will disappear-even be
forgotten for they are too contemplate to
be long remembered. We do not think
their day has long to run. "sundown
will soon leave them to darkness and
death. Even the Radical party cannot
bolster up their enormities, as we shall see.
And thus our people will be left to select
and elect their own officers.
