Rumors in Regard to the Retirement of Secretary Stanton and Re- moval of General Howard. The Office Seekers Opposed to the Presi- dent's Western Trip. &e, &e, ke. Wasuinetos, August 26, 1866. Rumors in Regard to Secretary Stanton and General Howard. A Sunday paper of this city this morning gives cur- rency to a report that Socretary Stanton will leave the Cabinet this week to be succeeded by General Steodman, and that General Howard will be removed from the Chief Commissionership of the Freedmen’s Bureau to be suo- ceeded by General Fullerton, The former statement is Probably unfounded, being based wholly upon street rumor, reference to which was made in your Washing: ton despatches of yesterday; tho latter statement pro- bably -has some probabilities about it, ‘There are strong indications that General Howard will soon be relieved; but when relieved his successor will probably be General Tillson, Assistant Commissionor for the State of Georgia, an officer who has been long identified with the Bureau, and one who has in every ‘way proved himself faithful, competent and efficient. The Ofice Seckers and the Presidents Wes- tern Trip. Strong offorts have been and are stil! put forth by the swarm of office seekers that daily besiege the Presidont to induce him to abandon his proposed Western trip, These patriotic gentiomen urge that the success of the President's policy demands that they be at once por- mitted to enter upon the service of their country, whereas if the President porsista in going away on Tuesdsy he will not have time to ‘sign a tithe’of their commissions, His return will throw their appointments so late in the season that the ap- pointees will not have time to exert thelr powerful im- fluence in the fall elections, Considering that the Presi- dent has been a close prisoner within the four walls of the White House, through cold and heat, and all manner of weather, attending with unequalled application to the public business, and with wonderful patience giving audience to every citizen that has seen Gt to call since the day of his inaugnfation to the presant moment, it is somewhat unreasonable to deny him a few days’ recreation at this time because tho interests of office seekers would suffer thereby. The policy of the administration in respect to changes in office does not seem to bo fully understood. The Secretary of the Treasury, who controls the largest amount of the gov- ernment patronage, is rather averse to changes merely for political reasons, unloas the invumbent of office makes himsolf so obnoxious by his violent hostility to the, government as to become semi-traitorous. Other heads of departments maintain that the administration now has a distinct policy, and has characterized the opposition to it as disloyal because tending to the permanent dissolution of the Union, Therefore it is the duty of the government to dispense its patronage only to those who manifest their loyalty by a cordial and earnest ondorsement of the policy of the administration. Between these two views the President seeks to exercise ‘a wise moderation, examining carefully each caso that comes before him. It may be that the continuance of hostilities against him will compel the adoption of a stern, unrelenting, Jacksonian policy, requiring all eub- ordinates to conform strictly to his political creed or aur- render their offices; but no sach policy has aa yet been adopted. Therefore the President considers that no great interests in that respect will be sacrificed by his tempo- rary absence from the Executive mansion, and therefore the clamor of tho office seekers will pass unheeded. The Payment of Bounties to Colored Soldiers. ‘The recent order of tho Secretary of the Treasury to the Second Auditor directing the suspension of the pay- ment of bounties to colored soldiers, is to operate only till rules are prepared by the Commission of the War Department for the payment of these and all other bounties; one of the objects being to protect all such governmont claimants, Tho Troasury Department has not been advised that the rules have been prepared. The Cleveland Conventi Some of the leading fpapers treat the call for the con- vention at Cleveland on the 17th of Septembor as though it was addressed only to the army. This is a mistake. ‘The call, though originating with army officers, invites to a soldiers’ and sailors’ convention all who have served either in the army or navy of the Union during the late rebellion and who aro favorable to tle reconstruction policy of the President and the principios announced by the Philadelphia Convention. Death of amen Commander Henry M. uc. The Navy Dopartment has received information of the death of Lieutenant Commander Henry M. Blue, at Charioston, 8. C., on the 224 inst. Lieutenant Com- mander Blue was on duty on the United States steamer Tacony at the time of his death. Internal Revenue Assessors Forbidden to Run for Political Omice. ‘The following special order, concerning assistant asses. appointed THOMAS HARLAND, Acting Commissioner. mm the Public Landa. made the following rulings relative to pre-emption set- tlements:— By the eighth section of the Homestead act of 1862 parties who have made entry under that law on the con- dition of five years of continuous settlement and cultiva- tion, have the right at any time before the expiration of that period to make proof of euch settlement up toa given day, and then pay for the tract at $1 26 per acre, and at once get atitle.

MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S FRETIVAL OF THE New YORE KRANZ AOCUETY. ‘The second and last midsummer night's festival of this favorite socioty came off last Friday night, at Paul Falk's Belvidere Lion Park, corner of Eighth avenue and 110th street, The rain deterred many from attending the fee. tival, but there were still enough dancers to keep the {mmonse platform and the splendid orchestra engaged, and numerous groups were chatting in the arbors and alcoves of the Park. The decorations of the hall wore rich and tasteful, consisting of part of the paraphernalia of the last memorable masquerade ball of the LinDmR. ciety, The only masqueraders preseut wore polices men with preposterous looking caps and beads, each of which soomed onpathe of containing the brains in the entire Metropolitan Department. One of these worthies excited much merriment during the evening by arresting a prominent memberof the soclety on the strength of a formidable looking warrant The music of the two bands was everything that could have been desired, and Mess Hensel, Gether, Eroat and Nemiach, who constituted the priuripal committea on the occasion, conducted their department with com Mmendable zeal and wuccess, The ballroom and grounds were brilliantly lighted up, and the merry davcers whirled through walters, gaiopa, sehottieches, polka, o., until the stars faded out one hy one and the nat was all agiow at the approach of the pun. The pleasure Of the festival to those who trusted to the tender mercies of the Eighth avenue cars was considerably marred in the journey from the city Lion Park and back. Many Of the luckiess parties who remained Uli the “woe wma’ hours’ had to take shelter in an old dilapidated car near the entrance to the grounds snd wait whiveringly for two hours before « car bound towards the city conde seended to show itself, Having to change care ate place where there was neither shelter nor convenience, and where io nine cases out of ten the unlucky follower Of Prince Carnival had to stand om the bleak sidewalk, with teeth chattering and limbs benumbed, over @ quar. ter of an hour, i another trial in store for those who vYentare as far as Belvidere Lion Park, on the Righth avenue, after nightfall.
