Special telegram to the Dispatch.
WASHINGTON. Arrua

WASHINGTON, August I, 1869
The Indications are by no means few Of
a dignifed row in the Radical party before
the Inauguration of the new year. Disaf-
fected Republicans in the camp proclaim
without hesitation their intention to have
certain Sights suffered by them since the
present Administration came into Office
remedied; and promise no end of war when
Congress meets unless ample satisfaction
is obtained for their grievances Several
prominent members of the House of Repre-
sentatives are enlisted in this fight, and
from their known selfshness and constitu-
tional tendencies to wrangle it may well
be imagined that war has been determined
upon.
But this is only one Of the minor details
necessarily consequent upon the disposition
Of patronage. Matters of infinitely greater
moment have doomed up to give tone to the
coming "split," and already parties are
organizing for the fray.
The Boutwell, faction, composed of the
ultra Radicals who favor continual proscrip-
ton of the southern people and the cleo
ton of Boutwell, to the next Presidency,
will undoubtedly present strong front,
and rely upon their leader to rule the Pre-
sident in Cabinet deliberations if possible.
These have no hesitation in condemning Vi
olently the natural turning of very large
number of their former political adherents
to the paths of Conservatism, and assert
positively that the dsscnters are not to
receive the slightest favor in the Govern
mcnt patronage now or hereafter. They
toiN open the fight. Creswell and Cox they
regard we'll enough as auxiliarics, but their
reliance is entirely on Boutwell,. 1Ioar is
also counted upon as their ally in the Cab
met; but as he may be requested to resign
in the fall, they dismiss him from considc-
ration in the matter.
These gentlemen are already grumbling
because of the fact that the President has
not entered actively into the Radical cause
in Virginia and Tennessee, and admit that
Texas and Mississippi are drifting into the
same tide of Conservative victory from the
same cause.
It will be to countcract the legitimate re-
suits Of these southern elections that they
intend skirmishing early in December,
when the disaffection which is bound to
ripen into q party war of considerable di-
mansions will be developed.
The organized effort which has been made
to drive Secretaries Fish and Rawlins and
General Sherman into an endorsement OF
the schemes to give the South up to Radi-
calism, despite the popular voice Of the
people OF that section, having failed. a diff
fercnt game is to be attempted.
1t is universally known that so far as
Grants sentiments are concerned he Ii with
Sherman, Fish, and Rawlins, on the qucs-
ton of not interfering in the southern cleo
tons, and in favor of the early admission
of the States and the query is, has he the
strength to withstand the attack Boutwell,
s. Co. intend making upon him.
The present party calm forebodes storm,
and it will come almost before the echo Of
the Speakers gavel calling the House to
order in December next has died away.
