President Johnson has removed General Banks from: command in Louisiana, and appointed General Canby in his place. This change is based upon the report of Gen- eral William F. (Baldy) Smith and Mr. James T. Brady, who wero appointed by Mr. Lincoln to investigate the Managoment of affairs under the administration of Generals Butier and Banks in Louisiana. The report of these commissioners was made to the President and | Cabinet on Wednesday and Thursday, and resulted in the order for the removal of Banks to-day. The order re- stricts Goneral Canby’s duties to purely military affairs, leaving the civil Governor (Mr. Wells) full control over civil affairs, the military commandor of the department to interfere only upon the requisition of the Governor. By this order Dr. Kennedy, who was summarily displaced by General Banks, is restored to tue position of Mayor of New Orleans. LOYAL NORTH CAROLINIANS SUMMONED TO WaSsH- INGTON. It is stated that the administration bas summoned the leading loyal citizens of North Carolina to Washington to confer upon the matter of the restoration of that State to its relations with the government. Mr. W. W. Holden, ex-Governor Swain and other prominent citizens of North Carolia are expected soon to arrive on this mission.

CANDIDATE. FOR GOVERNOR OF ALABAMA. The friends of the Hon. W, H. Smith, of Bedoivel, Randolph county, Alabama, are endeavoring to have bim made Governor of that State. H¢ was an original Union man, and wag obliged to leave the State for his Union sentiments. ‘ CHIRF JUSTICE CHASB AND THE PRESIDENCY.” Chief Justice Chase has already entered the field as a candidate for the Presidency in 1868, and i directing bis efforts to the accomplishment of that object.. He wrote @ letter, in the latter part of April or Oret of May, to @ prominent politician in Ohio, which directly reveals his purposes. This letter is now being shown around in the West among those known as faithful to the Chief Justice. In this letter Mr. Chase states that the time has come to reconstruct the political parties for fature operations; that he thinks that by quiet aud skilful man- agement on the part of their friends a strong party can be formed out of the radical element of the republican party and the Hberal portion of the democratic party, which will be formidable. He suggests that they sball adopt the name of “national democratic party,’ with one of its cardinal planks—the reconstruction of the South on the basis of negro suffrage. This letter, as already stated, ia now being used by Mr. Chase's friends in the West in initiating this new party movemeut, intending, of course, to keep it secret until they get their wires laid, combinations made and plans matured. The Chief Justice, in the meantime, bas gone along the coast southward, enjoying the heat of the Southern cli mate. His friends have given out that he has gone to re- open the district courts; but the fallacy of this idea is at once seen when ‘it is known that the Cabinet have had two or three long sessions since Mr. Chase left, discus- sing the propriety of immediately opening the courts, and have not as yot decided when or bow soon the district judges of the South shall assume their duties. Besides, it is no part of the duties of the Chief Justice to open those courts. The fact of the matter is, he is in search of his old friends in the South, and bas gone to initiate his move. ‘ment in that direction while his frieads attend to it iv the North and Northwest, BEORETARY SEWARD ATTENDING TO BUSINS— CONDITION OP FREDERICK SRWAKD.

THE OABINST. Tho reports that there are to be immediate changes in the Cabinet have no foundation infact. It is certain that the Cabinet will remain as it is untilthe army and navy is placed upon e peace basis, and until the trial of the assassin conspirators is concluded and- summed up. What will be doue after that developments hereafter alone can tell. THE GOSSIP OF THE HOTELS, It is generally reported here that Mr. Seward proposes voluntarily soon to leave the Department of State, sa- tisfled with the honors and reputation he bes acquired, and that he will be succeeded by Mr. Adams, whose de- partuse for the United States has actually been recently announced in the Liverpool papers. In that case Mr. Sumner is spoken of as the probable successor of Mr. Adams. Preaton King will, it 1s believed, oither be ap- Pointed to the New York Collectorship or go into the Navy Department, the latter arrangement being quite probable. Mr. Woed was with Mr, Stanton to-day, The latter is also expected to go out of office. It has been also ru- mored here that Raymond and Morgan have formed a ring to hold Johnson. ‘The Blairs have not the decided influence that has been attributed to them.

Mr. Lewis, the Internal Revenue Commissioner, says, ‘as I am informed, that there are manufactured in the United States one hundred million gallond of whiskey annually, and that he will be able to collect duty ($2 per gallon) only on twenty millions.

Important Confiscation =A Coll Between Governor Brownlow nd Judge Tri of the United States Dis- trict Court. Nasuvitie, May 18, 1865. There is a prospect of a conflict between the fudicial and executive powers in Tennessee. An ex- traordimary affair occurred on last Tuesday in the United States Court at Knoxville, Judgos Connelly and ‘Trigg presiding, which promises to lead to legal pro- ceedings of no common magnitude, W. G. Brownlow, special agent of the United Statoa Treasury De- partment, acting under the written orders of that | department, which were made in conformity and in obedience to an act of Congrosa, rented out several pleces of abandoned property belonging to disloyal per- sons who were in the Southern confederacy. Juage Trigg, at the term of bis court immediately pre- ceding the presént one, ordored the tenant of the United States Treasury Department to be dispossessed of 9 farm which he had rented from Mr, Brownlow, and se pro- perty restored to the owner. Mr. Brownlow <pplied at once to General Tillsom for aid to enfosed contracts which he had made for the Treasury Department, which that officer granted, and Ju@f¢ Trigg’s order was disregarded and the issue jotween the Judge and the Treasury agent was Ahethor tho power of the latter to make cpitracts im accordunce with orders from the departwont at Washington, based on an act of Congrags, shou! be respected, or Whether a Judge of the District Coup had powor to set such a con- tract aside and declare 4 void. The miliary authotty of the foderal government de- cided it to favor f she Treasury Departme: 90 on Tuesday Judge Tas dolivored a charge to the Grand Jary, in whict he directed them in strong language to indict Govepor Brownlow for hi; action in the pre- mises, TLS charge is said to have been exceedingly, bitter. Jugs Trigg is understood to be hostile to entire radi- ca} Policy, and particularly hostile to the Confiscation ye. Accollision between bimsolf and the Governor is Yone which will excite deep tnterest in the public mind. Surrender of thc Rebel General Ben. Hill and His Command. Lovisviits, May 19, 1865.
