WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
New ORLEANS, Aug. 25th, 1870.

soon as the iteSiGeHb Iettii us W 'iiS
winter Capital there will be a
continuation Of the Cabinet remodel
ing. These changes are intended to
strengthen Gen. Grant through the
Radical successes this fall which are
to be the result Of his dropping Sum
ner and the extreme Radicals and
playing the role of moderate Radical.
General Grant cares for neither wing
of the Radical party any more than
he cares for the Democracy but he
does care for General Grant, whom
he wishes to see re-nominated for the
Presidency. After riding the Sum
ner, Drake &Co., hacks for 81 year
past and finding that from broken
wind and SPAWN they would certain
ly break his political neck, he now
wishes to change and try a ego" on
the Trumbull, Conkling hacks who
are thought by his friends to have
more speed and bottom. Ulysses
Grant would sell out his party:friends
with as little conjunction of con-
science as he would lame horse that
he had no further use for. The ru-
NOR that Trumbull, of Ill. was offer
ed the Portfolio of State is not credit
ed. Secretary Fish certainly wants
to go out and there will be change
there. Grant would like Boutwell, s
place for one who does not aspire so
high ; but can he get it? The jolly
Robertson would no doubt give way
at Grants hint or desire. Creswell
who is of the Sumner clique will
stick until kicked out. Peace has
b cen made in New York, SO
r rumor has it, by collector Murphy's
r not removing Senator Fenton's
, friends. 1--WE have nothing this
g week from our New York correspon-
dent and only give rumor.) General
Grant had better have allowed Sena-
, tor Summers dictatorial manner and
. control, than to have broke with him.
: as he has done, if he really desired
4 peace. His bed at either Capital, al
: the "White House" or the Murphy
It Palace will be anything but one of To-
: ses from this time out.
Sc The Radical journals are very sore
because the Democrats have yer,
wisely left the Negro in the mire o
Radical trickery and uncertainty int
e which they have dragged him. Thu

L the Radical Congressional commit

rs the wool and holds him up as th

Radical address is the weakest an
fumsiest piece of political. charlans

st gro. A narrow platform truly.
CHI The President will arrive he
n next week. It has been determine
by the Radical sharps that a procl
d. nation of neutrality issued by Il
VI President would very much effe
