LETTER FROM B. F. DOWELL.
Wahiii.vgton', D. C, )
'Jlht Jnittinry, 1808. )
StantunV restoration to tlio ofllec of
I Secretin y uf War, refontlructlon, li
i tiaiicu', and tlio juiliciarv, liuvo been
tlienll-abfconiiig topic of tlio week;
but magnificent niiltoud hcIiciik-s loom
ii) in the distance.
Int. Nine day no tho Fcnnto re
jected tho PrcHidcnt's icnhoiiH for tho
f.Ubict)Mon of .Mr. Stnnton as Secretary
of War; and on Monday following
Gcuenil Grant delierod the key of the
oflice to tho Adjiitnnt-Gciiuiul, nnd he
lonnily dclivcicd it to Mr. Stanton
without cousuiting tho wlslics of tlio
Picfldcut or his rebel ndviseis; mid
ever since there has been otio contin
ued howl from Dcinoorata nnd rcbcln
on tho course pursued by General
Grunt nnd Stanton. Many true, and
borne ful co rumors have panned from
mouth to mouth, and from paper to
paper, on tho subject.
In tho morning it was positively its
sorted tlmt tho Piesidout intended to
itomo an order for the arrest and trial
of General Grant by a court martial
tor dlbobedienco of orders; and an
other, that tho President had drawn
up a proclamation to tho Departments
of the Government, prohibiting any
oflieinl intercourso with Secretary Stan
ton; that ho intended to close tho War
Department, tc. Tho truth is, such
things wero in contemplation, and weic
discussed between tho President and
his Democratic friends; but ho was
advinod by tho sober-thiukiug members
of tho Jlouse, if anything of tho kind
was done, he would bo impeached and
immediately removed from office; so
no orders of any kind Jiavo been is
sued by President Johnson relative
to the War Department, and General
Grant is performing his duties as Com
mander of tho Army, and Mr. btanton
is poaceably performing the duties of
hi office,
Tho Inttllifj(ncer, (tho Prpsidont's
orcau), on tho morning after Mr. Stan
ton took possession of tho War Oflice,
was furious and belligerent; but tho
next morning it was calm and as peace
. f T !. V V7! i i M,j.
the Copperheads heaped yial of t
II. I.mU ntij4 Tnrsiit llltiiL' ntlii
on Johnson, Grant, Stanton and Con
gross. Tho result will be to continuo
Mr, Stapton as Sccrotary of War for
?9Jv W'JH u?
an indcGnito time, notwithstanding he
lias snubbed or grossly insulted many
of tho Itadical member of Congress,
nud two-thirds ot them would be glad
to get lid of him in nn honorablo way,
it they could substitute a good, affa
ble, competent, honest man in hi
place. However, they do not intend
for Johnson to put in any man like
Black or Ilnudcock, who will bo an
obstruction to reconstruction ; and it i
certain Stanton would only resign at
tlic request of tho, $o4Ilc.iln, and (hat
ho lias not tho slightest intention of
resigning to gratily Mr. Johnson or
his rebel allies.
The President and tho Copperheads
would bo delichtcd to try General
Grant by a court martial for obeying
the law in surrendering tho War Ofllco
to Mr. Stanton ; but he can't bo triod
by a court martial, because he did not
hold tho position of Secretary of War,
ad interim, under n military order; nnd
to-day all is quiet "on tho Potomac,"
at tho White House, and at tho War
Oflice.
2d. nr.coNSTnucTioN
Has been under discussion in tho House
nil week, but they have not passed the
bill, and it will yet undergo several
amendments bcfoio it becomes a law.
While Congress is trying to aid tho
South to reconstruct on n loyal basis;
the Executive Republican Committee
has just received cheering news from
Alabama nnd Arkansas. The Mont
gomery Jfail, a robel sheet, calls upon
tho whites to eeaso assailing the blacks,
and insists that " they Hhall appeal to
the more intelligent of tlio latter, being
scoies in every county, to keep aloof
from the election." Tho Radicals havo
placed in nomination, not only an en
tire Stato ticket, composed of whito
men, but they me selecting tho best
citizens as candidates to Congress, and
they arc confident of adopting their
free Stato constitution on tho 4th of
February, by u handsome majority.
A citireu of Searcy county, Arkansas,
writes thus to a member of the Com
mittee :
Wu.ir.'r Covi:, Skaiicv Co.,
Aiikamus, December '-'6, 1P07.
Silt: Many thanks for your Kindness
in Jnrwnidiifg to mo nevernl copies ol
tho Washington CinmMe nnd a quan
tity of document. They havo been pf
great service in this county in posting
our pat ty and biiiiging out our sticugtli
in tho leeent election. We havo been
engaged in ilisiiihuiiug them nnd or
ganising tho Itadical party. Wo car
ried tho county by ten to one, and can,
hv nclivitv. hcciira four bundled inn-
joiity to ratily tho now constitution,
it it H truly Jtepupiicau in an us ien
tures. Thero are 677 registered votes in tho
county, only one of them a Hack num.
So you net tere ate not a many voter
here vhojlar the negro as there are
in Ohio; or, at leant, not a many
Conservative JJemocratio rebel. We
had n" war of laees" preached until
the doctrine is completely worn out,
nnd tho Noithern people nro greatly
mistaken as to any such ibsue, for we
liiu i! had Democratic rule under notable-
DemociiitH until wu nro tiuly tiled,
and iustend of looking on tho black as
a inferior being, wo havo concluded he
is otiriiicnd,nud wu intend to ti cut him
as Mich.
3d. FINANCIAL.
Schemes nro very numerous. There
has been moro resolutions and more
bills introduced in Congress on this,
than on any other subject. Kven tho
modest Oiegon delegation iao taken
an aotivo pint. Tho leaders of the
SK.vn.vKhlia o been inado familiar with
the resolution and ndcccIi of Senator
Coibctt to facilitate the resumption of
specio payment. Notwithstanding I
do not exaetly ngreo with either Mr.
Williams or Mr. Mallory In financial
matters, still it is now my ploasuie to
oluoniclo tho resolutions and an act
which had been introduced by Senator
Williams, and also, a resolution which
will bo introduced, at an early day, by
Mr. Mallory.
Senator Williams takes a lively in.
tercst in tho Biibject. On tho 14th in
stant ho introduced this resolution,
wlijch was ordered to Ho on tho table,
and be priute4 :
Jiesofved, That tho Committee on
Finance bo instructed to inquire into
tho expediency of providing for tho
funding and consolidation of tho debt
of tho United States into bondsorobli
gatior,Vthe principal of which shalljtev
or becomo due and navablo. bearing in
tercst at tho ratoof four per ccnL por
annum, payable iQroi-annually in coin,
NO. 5
and to bo exempt from nil taxation, and
to further provide for the purchase and
cancellation of such bonus or obliga
tions from time to time by the) Trthiu
ry as may accord with th pecuniary
abilities of tho Government.
2. To prevent, by tho imposition of
high dutic discriminating against
costly fabrics and luxuries, excessive
importation and the consequent expor
tation of gold to pay balance, reduc
ing thereby tho amount of uch duties
n nearly' practicable to the amount
necessary to pny the interest upon tho
public debt, and further by the removal
of taxo fronv-thaftrodtftiU of mining
and tho capital invested therein, and
otherwise to encourage and facilitate
tlic production ol gold and silver from
tho mitiei of the United State.
3. To amend tho national bank act
so that national batiks may be estab
lished without Unlit as to number a
tho business interest of the country
shall require, nnd to prohibit all other
systems of banklnc, nnd to provide for
tho gradual withdrawal of Treasury
notes from circulation and the substi
tution therefor of national bank note,
and further to piovidu for the resump
tion of specio payments through said
banks, by requiring them to hold tho
necessary reserves in coin, and by ex
tending specinl inducements to the
banks already existing for thcr resump
tion of specio payments.
Again on tho 10th instant, from tho
committee on Finance, ho reported tho
following act, and recommended its
passage :
lie it tnactttt, Tlmt United Stntc
..nt.,.. rtniMttimiltP Mnllml iM.vnl lnmlnM
liuii-r,, ,uiiiiii'ii i wiiiivm "pi ivimi-in,
shall bo receivable in payment of all
taxes, internal duties, excises, debts,
and demands of ovcry kind duo to tho
United States, except duties on imports,
nnd of nil claims and dcmniids ngaiunt
tho United States whatsoever, except
for interest upon bonds when payable
in coin, nud sliall nlso bo lawful money
nud a legal tender in payment of all
debts, public and private, within tho
United States, except when otherwiso
specially provided, in contracts inndo
niter tho 4th of July, 1808, and oxcopt
for duties on imports and interest on
bonds ns aforesaid.
Mr. Mallory, on the first favorablo
occasion, will introduce in substanco
tho following resolutions;
Jiesolceit, Tlmt tho Committeo of
Ways and Means bo instructed to en
quire iu'.o tho expediency ol authoriz
ing tho Secretary ol tho Treasury,
1st, To employ such of tho legal ten
der notes ns may como to his possess
ion, in excess of what I required to
pay tho current oxpeucca of tho gov
ernment, in purchasing at their market
valuo such of tho present interest-bearing
securities of the United States an
ho may bo ablu to obtain therewith,
and to enncol nnd destroy tho samo.
2d. To employ all tho gold in tho
Treasury, in excess of thirty millions,
in purchasing nt their market valuo
such of tho interest-bearing securities
of tho United States ns ho may bo able
to obtain with such gold, nnd to can
cel mid destroy tho same.
3d. To authorize a loan equal to tho
whole amount of tho interest-bearing
dubt ol tho United States bonds to run
fifty years, principal and interest, pay
able in gold, interest payable semi-un-
ntiniiy; titu loan 10 no ouereu ouiy nn
tho gold shall bo required to pay tho
expencc of tho government, or to pur-
chaso tho present interest-bearing e
curilics of tho United States.
4th. To rcqtiiro tho bond now on
deposit in the Tieaaury of tho United
States, ns tho basis of the circulation
of tho National Hanks, to bo replaced
by thu bonds hereby authorized, under
penalty of surrendering their charter
upon failing to make tho exchange
within six months after tho passage of
the bill authorizing the bond.
Ilcforo this session close, Congress
will devise some plan that will be sat
istoctory to all loyal citizen who do
not desiro office. Rebel aud Demo
cratic offico-seckcra no one expects to
please; nothing would suit tho former
but slavery, or a grand system ot negro-vagrancy,
which would be moro
intolerable than slavery.
4th. TUB JVPICUKY

Department.
Wahhi.viiton, I). C, Jan. H.
Tho principal subject of conversa
tion to-day in political circles wa the
War Ofllco business. General Grant
appeared nt tho ofllco soon after nine
o'clock, spent a fow minute there,
looked tho door of tho private room,
put the key in hi pocket and at once
returned to the army headquarter on
tho oppotlto sido of tho street. Mr,
Stanton arrived at the department
about ten o'clock and waited in tho
nnte-room, recoiving tho congratula
tion of several friend gathered there,
while an officer on duty went over to
tho headquarter to got tho key. He
camo back with this, and, by General
Grant's directions, delivered it to Ad
jutant General Townscnd, chief officer
in tho building in tho absenco of the
head of the department, who handed
it over to Mr. Stanton. Rcing thus in
tho possession of tho key of tho office,
Stanton unlocked tho door nnd then re
sumed his duties a Secretary of War.
Tho first business ho did w to rccelvu
a delegation of gentlemen from Ten
nessee, who callod, to urge the Secre
tary, whom they supposed on entering
to bo General Grant, to continue the
Frcediiiau's Rtiroau iu their Statu until
Hummer. .Mr. atauioti nearu in,on
through, aud thou said they would
havo to excuse him from giving an or
der in the premise (or a short time, aa
he had been absent from tho ofllco for
a fow days, nnd would have to look
into tho situation, General G rah t with
drew his Adjutant General Irom the
department in tho course of tho morn
ing, and tho formor Adjutant of Mr.
Stanton entered upon his duties; at
noon. Tho General himself called at
tho department Just beforo 12 o'clock,
passed Into Mr, Stanton room, nnd was
olosotvd with him for half or three
quarters of an hour. Mr. Stanton re
mained iu tho office all Iho afternoon,,
and wa called on by many friend.
When not with them he wa engaged
in looking over paper on hi table,
and in trauiaoting the usual routine
busiucs ot tho day. Ho did not go
to tho Whito Houso, though it was
Cabinet day. General Pope wo with,
him for somo time. When heMt the
offloc at four o'clock, ho gavo hi, cus
tomary direction to tho clerks and
messengers, and then went over te
headquarters, whence ho rode with.
General Grant to tho house of the lat
ter. A man called upon a lawyer the oth
er day and began to stato his caM id
rather an abrupt manner. ''Sir, I havi
