THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
A correspondent of the Bosloa 'Adver
tiser, who -claims to have had recent in
terviews with Senator Sumner and Wil
son and Gen. Butler, communicates to
that paper what purports to be their
views concerning prominent political top
ics and leading statesmen. His report
is at least gossipy and entertaining, as
personal matters usually are, even if he
is not always accurate.
MR. ETJHSER OH STAST05.
Referring to Secretary ; Stanton's re
moval, Mr. Sumner pronounced the event
"a national calamity," because the "reb
els are everywhere encouraged by it,"
a3 they see from it that the President 13
with them. Yet he i3 confident "that re
construction on just principles will pre
vail in the end," though its trials are
generally increased.., In answer to an
observation of 'the correspondent, Mr.
Sumner said of Mr.' Stanton:
'Stanton has not the elements of per
sonal popularity. He never cultivated
the amenities. He is often impatient,
cold, and even harsh and antagonistic,
but he is always a patriot. His fidelity
has been constant, down to the last.
Here," he added, handing it to me, "is
a letter from a gentleman in Washington,
who saw him often 'in his last official du
ne,' and calls him 'one of the purest
and best of men.' Such will be . the
judgment of history. Personally he must
be glad to be relieved. But the office
need him still longer. Nobody, who did
not see him habitually during the war;
can comprehend the vigor, constancy,
and extent of his labors, early and late,
day and night making the War Office
his bivouac. I remember taking Mr.
Emerson with me to visit him at the War
Department, and we found him snatch
ing a repast among his files of papers,
and attending to his business while he
ate. I think ray companion was much
impressed at the scene. But this was
typical, Mr. Lincoln had great faith in
him, and was truly attached to him.
This was because of his great usefulness.
I recall gratefully that during all this
time he sympathized with me in efforts
to induce a Proclamation of Emancipa
tion. He desired it" months bsfore it
came. When we met we often spoke of
the project and regretted the delay. The
night of Mr. Lincoln's death he showed
character,' as he' gave his, cHers and
witch---'-! tho dvin Pres;,! 1. - In u.it
room ,.3 was Cu:r... .,.::r, j'
Ha must have a ' r-.at ph-, - ' -
Louvoi3, Pitt, and Carnot were greatly the late Judge Collamer were good
War Ministers the greatest, btanton,
must find a place in this group.'
GENERAL CRAST
The Senator confessed .himself puz
zled by the position of General Grant.
In reference to his. acceptance or. ine
portfolio of the War Department, he
said:
"There can be no military obligation
on a General, to. assume a civil office.
Grant mijrht have refused and thrilled the
country to the confusion of the President
and the rebels, bo, at last, it seems to
me. Such a refusal would have been no-
tice that a patriot like Stanton should
not be struck througn. nim, ana wouia
have helped to make the President pow-
erless. It would have been notice also
to the -rebels, that they could have no
hone through him. I confess this is what
I most, long for. Now. is the time to
speak out for our4 country. Every Pres-
idential order signed by Grant is an en
couragement to the old rebel spirit. But
while at the War Department. Grant 13
in a certain sense what Lord Derby cal
led himself theiher day, 'a stop gag.
He at least prevents a rebel from being
thrust into the office, btanton has had
confidence in him always: although
Grant is so habitually reserved and tac
hum that it is difficult to know his real
position. .
In response to the question whether
General Grant was a candidate for the
Presidency. Mr. Sumner said that he did
not know, though there were things that
looked that way He continued:
"This is not like Grant, who is a thor-
ourh modesi gentleman. Wellington,
whom he resembles in some respects,
was older and more experienced when
he entered civil life, and it is well known
with what distrust, liut the great difi-
culty of his posuion is that we are left
in hnrrowjDir nnrirtajr -wnn rogrti ' 10
his opinions. We can say that, as Pres -
ident, he would give to the freedmen,
during, the coming year, and through the
process of reconstruction, that kindly and
sympathetic support : which they need?
Can we auord iq oe m any uncertainty
on this, point? 1 have from the begin-
iiing been insisting on 'irreversible guar
antees.' Our next President must be
himself an irreversible guarantee.' Is
Grant such ? I wish I knew. Personal-
ly, l nue mm. ia vuurersauon ne is
neat and precise, with clean cut ideas
w a a 1 " T . .
and words."
ANDREW JOHSSOaV
-Mr. Sumner's estimate of the Presi
dent was expressed freely, as follows:
The President is preverse. pi-head-
ed, and brutal. ' His talent, such as it is,
comes . from pugnacity,. or as phrenolo-
gists have it, combativeness. When ar-
oused against Jeff. Davjs in the Senate,
.he was on the right side, and his temper
gave
re to arguments additional force. Wei
all sympathized with him then. "We did
not know how foolish and shallow he was,
nor did we see his prejudices. Little did
t we tniUiC ci tne evu ne. wouia cq i l have
j often taid that no man in history has ev
er done so much evil to his country in the
same time. Of cousse he is a usurp and
a tyrant. The wonder is Congress did
not act accordingly long ago."
, He- complained of . the hesitation . of
Congress on the impeachment question,
which he considered characteristic of its
whole course during the war. In answer
to a qufstion inregard to the causes
which have influenced Congress espe
cially the Senates-he spoke as follows cf
some of the more conservat!ve Republi
can Senaiois:
"Edmunds, of Vermont, for instance,
coming from that earnest and determined
State, is a prodigy of obstructiveness and
technicality. So, also, is Conklin, com
ing from Central New York, and being
still a young man of admirable tal
ents and with a great fortune, if he dees
not get shipwrecked at the beginning.
Patterson, of New HampshireTand re
lioghuysen, of New Jersey, have good
seniiments, and give you the impression
of personal purity ; but it is strange that
they do not see that something more is
needed in dealing with rebels and their
present chief Johnson. Of these Fess
enden is the captain, so at least it seems
to me." .
SENATOR FESSENDEN18 CHARACTER
was delineated as follows:
"His forte is personality. He runs to
personalities as a duck to water if not
in language, then in manner and tone.
He is nothing if not personal. Until he
gets heated he is dull. He always quar
relled with everybody over the appropri
ation bills which he conducted. The
discussion was once prolonged jar. John
Sherman in the same place is always
amiable often opposes your motion, but
without discourtesy. Fessenden comes
into a debate as the Missouri enters the
Mississippi, and discolors it with temper
filled and surcharged with sediment. But
he has not the volume of the great river.
He is of much finer fibre than An! ew
Johnson, but resembles the President in
prejudice and talent for combativeness.
His words are more select, and his sen
tences better. He Is mere accurate in
speech and logical in form. As a lawyer
he is of nisi prius order. There is noth
ing of the jurist in. his attainments or
hi3 nature. From his position he haa
exercised much influence in the Senate ;
but from the beginning he has been a
drag on reconstruction. He has always
S2?.r4ed to have a soft side for Andrew
Jchnsru ; I ut his report on reconstruction
is excellent it is the best thing he ever
J. ani it contains no personality. . He
friends, and sat side by side ; but on one
occasion he flashed upon th6 judge as up
on everybody else," .
GEN. BUTLER ON JOHNSON.
The next celebrity upon which the cor
respondent of the Advertiser called was
Gen. Butler, and the conversation very
natural turned upon President Johnson
an(j nj3 removal of Stanton, Sheridan and
Sickles. If the President could be cal-
culaied unon as other men. he thought
these acts might be regarded as part of
a pjan t0 the control of he Govern
raeiit, and that is putting Gen. Grant in-
t0 lne War Department his object was to
familiarize the army with his control.
But the imbecility and wavering of the
President heretofore relieved the country
from any pressing belief of danger.
Johnson." he thought, "lacks courage
ac(j capacity," but if he should reorgan
ize his Cabinet with Jerry Black at its
head, he could hardly predict the result.
Of
ME. SLACK
he said:
'He is a man of decided genius er
ratic. bold, and of quick preceptions, and
with strong reliance upon his own pow
ers. He believes thoroughly in the un
constitutionality of the war, and the con
sequent illegality of every act of legisla
tion erowinsr out oi it. iNot doubting on
these points, he would have no hesitancy
ia following their plans to their logical
sequence, which would be, of course,
that
Congress
was an. illegal body, its
acts without binding force or effect, and
that it was the duty of the President to
save the Government by an exercise of
Executive power, and that such action
would be conservative and not revolution
ary ; and if ho wa iu me Government
I believe he would shape us course to
that end, under the full conviction that
1 tion, and for the best interests of the
country. This, with him, would be true
conservatism. H8 looks upon any other
and of course the Congressional recon-
struetion, as revolutionary snd lending
to despotism. Upon his accession to the
Cabinet I should look for great peril to
the country, because there is no man so
dancrerou3 as he will be acting cour
ageously in support of the wrong, under
the conviction that be is in the right.;'
CE5. CHART'S POSITION.
'Grant, he said, "has taken upon
himself a veiy difficult and dangerou
role. If he can carry himself safely
through it. I shall give him credit for
more ability than I have ever been in-
chned to do. He has not
the excuse
As a mili-
that he acted under orders
tary cfiicer be could not be ordered to
take a purely civil office, as the office of
Secretary of War is. Such an appoint
iment would pe simply a request.. And
nobody saw more clearly the difference
between a request
and an order than
Grant, when he instructed Sheridan that
Stanbrry's opinion, then . published by
tne uommancier-m-chiei tor the gui
- danco cf the District Commanders, was
not ah order, and, therefore, as military
men, they were not bound ty it, but could
oliow their own judgment. Yet his
liends claim for him thaLhe has twice,
n his own person, constructed the P. es-
ident's request into an crder first, when
invned to 'swing round the circle, fid
again, when lavited to the VtarOthcca,
ad izkrim. If G ant accented the War
Office froji the raoiire to interpo'e his
high position and personal efforts to i.tve
the country from the illegal rd unpatri
otic acts of the Pies dent, then every
rue man should honor him for his patri
otism, and sustain him to the utmost ex
eat, whatever may be their personal re
ations to him, or their opinions as to his
itness for a civil office : and," added the
General with emphasis, "no man will go
urther than I will m that direction."
STAMT05 AND SEWARD.
Gen. Butler's opinion cf Secretary
Stanton differed but little from that of
Mr. Sumner, and he expressed the opin
ion that Congress would reinstate him
promptly on reassembling. Of Mr.
Seward, he said :
It seems to me that there can be but
one explanation of Seward's course the
determination to run the Republican par
ty, because of what seems to him its in
gratitude in preferring Mr. Lincoln.
Seward holds that he was the father of
our party, and one could easily suppose
the deep grief and mortification which
being ?et aside might cause him. Any
other theory would only lead to the con
clusion that Seward's intelect was wan
ing, because the author of the irrepress
ible conflict could never be so stupid.
The inevitable consequence of Johnson's
can t believe that Seward fails to see,
and if so, why does he fail to oppose the
m m -W 1
course ot the executive, or witnaraw
himself from the Cabinet? There is
certainly nothing in our foreign relations
hat requires him to act.
IMPEACHMENT,
Mr. Butler thought, was sure to come,
but that it had been delayed by the elec
tion of Mr. Wade, President of the Sen
ate. The failure of the impeachment he
thought due to the reorgnization of the
Houe 'Judiciary Committee at the begin
ning of the Fortieth Congress. A3 to the
uture o! this quesiion, he said :
"I c'aim that the people always have
been and are now ready for impeach
ment and will now demand it. New,
however., the condition has changed. If
Congress, on meeting in November,
should commence th9 impeachment, and
proceed with all reasonable rapidity ;
Johnson could not be removed till spring
unless they came up to what clearly is
the land practice, that he should be de
posed upon articles being presented to
the Senate. Now, sappose that Johnson
should not be removed till the spring
that would be too late for Mr. Wade to
aid himself by Executive power in the
Convention which will be held in May or
June. But as Mr. Wade is known to
be thoroughly loyal to the Republicau
party and would heartily sustain the
nominee of that Conven'ion with all the
power cf the Administration, whoever
should be nominated, each and all of the
gentlemen believing themselves to have
possibilities of being candidates, will de
sire that the Administration shall be in
Mr. Wade's hand rather than in Mr.
Johnson's; and therefore being con
vinced that impeachment is just, and
ought to be done will become easily
convinced of its policy, especially as they
cannot fail to see that the people demand
it. and that the situation of the country
requires it for it is the only solution of
our troubles, and the great pacificator.
"For myself," added the General, "I
have never doubted that it would come
to this. I have got accustomed to have
my opinions upon public affairs made
Or SENATOR WADE
he said :
Among tue many aoie men wno may
have hopes cf the Presidency, Mr. Wade
siands in the posi ion of being a true
representative of Radical Republicanism,
honest, sinjle-hearted, courageous, firm;
from the people and after the people,'
he has never failed lo rely upon them,
and never has been found wrong."
CENS. SHERIDAN, 8ICKLE3. AND CANST.
Of Gen. Sheridan he sa'd that 'jf vr6
are to have a purely military man for
President, Sheridan, perhaps, is the best
of any- He has vhown, in addition to
his brilliant qualities as soldier, that
hia political instincts (because he has had

DO irululuLi I am uue auu nu.. oitfcias
has more political experience, and has
shown a comprehension of affairs which
was to have been expected from one
taught in the Democratic faith, and bs
suff ered wounds and mutilation to serve
the country in the war in opposition to
his political ideas. Canby, who is sent
to take his place, is a gentleman and a
true soldier, who will carry out ihe or
ders of his superior officers, whatever
may be his own opinion cf the question
at issue. But he is so truly loyal to the
country that the President could expect
no aid from htm in any revolutionary
movement he may make at Washrngtoa
Hence, probably, his removal to Charles
ton. But, as I said before, he may have
no fear of the President in that direction.
The West is true, and outvie3 the East
ia Radical RepuLlicauisi. And, on any
attempt to overturn the Government,
they would be reckoned by hundreds cf
thousands oa their march to sustain it."
GEN. LOG AH.
"Gen. Logan, who is a true represen
tative man, acd Illinois alone can fur
nish men enough to put Jchcscn down.
Ey the way, the country does not keev
how much it is Indebted to Lo-an. ac-J
with true modesty he will ne?pr tell theni. '
When Gen. Grant v,-3 i.T.r'.i:Lt zi'Ci
delay cf Gen. Thomas in Cjhtirg tha
battle of Nashville, which en Jed ia tha
defeat cf Hood's array, he sent Levari
with an order to supercede hia and tako
command of the army himself. Oa ar
ming ia the Department, Lcgm fc:ad
that Thomas was aboat to fighf I'erlic
the danger cf changing commanders un
der such circumstances, he dec'iced to
serve the order to tale command, at leas;
til after the battle. Such unselush
cess as that on the part cf Logan ia not
loo common, and such patriotism is an as
surance that the interests of the country

sition he may be put." .
mr. Wilson's views or the soctii.
Mr. Wilson's opinion cf the situation.
and especially cf ths prospects ia tho
South, was expressed as lollows: '
"Nothirjg that ths President hss dancJ
has weakened my confidence at all in tha
complete triumph of our friends ia tha
Southern country. I believe that tha
negroes who have been enfranchised and
the loyal men of these States will carry
the election, will ccnforu-i thei? Consti
tutions to the requirement cf CzrHfr
in sympathy with ihe Republican fariy
of tho United States, and thit ifo i'fesi-
dent can do novhiog that will prevent this.
I beliete that bis pol:cy and bis condjet
have the tendency to embitter and ea
courase the rebels, to ret uo bad feel-
W A
ings and make .hings unpleasant. B.it
events are beyond his power and control.
and his course will only sink him-elf.
his ideas and policy, and the friends who
gather arouud him. This is my idea of
the effect of what he ha3 done, that his
conduct will contribute to the strength
ening of the Republicans in tha loyal
States."
On the subject of impeachment, ha
expressed the opinion that "the great
mass of the Republican party believa
that the President will be impeacheJi
and. that he deserves impeachment."
C EN. GRANT,
he thought, had taken the position cf
Secretary of War for the sake cf doing
good to the country. Secretary Stantoa
held it for the same purpose for eighteen
raonih'. He had talked who. Gea.
Grant and Stanton ca this subject, and
he thought it would be found that thsia
was a clear understanding between then.
He said:
'Gen. Grant, as early a.i tSa summer
of 1S03, when before Vicksburg, wrota
a letter saying, much a3 he wanted to
see peace, he wa3 opposed to any peac3
till we had emancipation in the country.
During the last term, when Congress
passed the constitutional amendment, ha
urged with all Southern men who cama
lo him at Washington, warmlyr to adopt
it. He stood entirely with Congress.
During the whole time, while tha South
ern men came to him such as Gov. Orr,
cf Souih Carolina, and Gov. Brown, of
Georgia, and other leadio? politicians
he told them to go to the Republican
leaders in Congress that they had tha
power, and notao go to any Ncrthsra
Copperhead, or hivye anything to do wi.h
them. He told them that the men who
opposed the war would nerer again bo
permuted to govern the country cr hava
any part in its government; that tha
Southern men made a creat mhtaka ia
iobk'ng to these Northern Copperheads
to aid them in getting back; that the
more they looked'to thera the mere ex
citing the Republicans would be and
ought to be, and that his advice, lo theui
was to consult wi.h the RepuM cans and
lo adopt the ccnsJ'.utioual amendmecf,
and to give universal suffrage; that tha
Republicans would exact it, and they
ouht to do it.
JOHNSON.
Wilson's estimate cf Preside
Sir.
Johnson's character doe3Eot yary mate
rially from that of others. Ha said:
I think the President will go by fits
and staru, in carrying out any policy.
He is juit this kind of a man; he is not
a man who is governed and gukied by
fixed and settled principles; he is a man
that is governed by his passions a raaa
of passionate temper and while he af
fects to be a man of will, ha is not a firm?
man but an obstinate man, which is quite
a different thing. He goes by fits and
suns ; in fact, he acts like a "felloa oa
a bust," who goes to sleep and wakes on
and breaks thing3, and then goes to sleep
5in, and so on until he is sober. After
oue or vhese great passion?, and having
avenged himsc-.S either by work'cract.
the President calms down. In my ide
hs is a foolish man, governed byjjuts c
pa&3ion and temper and h8 is a dU.ip
pointed man because he really believed
he was gc:ng to succeed."
"As an evidence cf the temper cf tho
President, I can tell you one secret cf
the White Houe. A primmest Demo
crat whose name is known everywhere
a man whom the President cften ccnsulrs,
tut a personal friend cf S-ac'.cn, called,
ca the Pr23;dem, and earnestly admsd
him no; lo remove the Secretary. He sari
I use hi3 own words that the President
raved like a mad bull, and swore that ha
would remove S'.anton. His friends tell
him that ia hi3 judgmenr it would lead ly
his own impeachment by Centres. Jzz
sen said they might impeach; that h?
would turn Stantca out if he wa3 tried
and shot for it!' The sans friend tail
that Johnjcn had been acting in a t:rrj
bb prssioa lately all the tims."
