REINSTATEMENT OF SECRETARY STANTON, Retirement of General Grant trom the War Otice=Stanton in His Old Quarcvers. [From te Evening Telegram ‘cf yesterday.) Wasuineron, Jan, 14, 1868, Stanton 49 reinstated, Grant bas surrendered, the President ts snubbed, and the War Departunont is once more under the Stanteaic régime, Expectation was nm tiptoe this morning in the belief ‘that the citadel of She War Bepartmentavould not be abandopod by tho distinguished tactician who eem- mandet it withott a stout resistance; but in this ipstauce expectation was doomed to disappointment, About ten e’clock Mr, Stdaton’s carviago drove up to the door of the War Department, and the great man passed into the gloomy official shadce of red tapo and formality forthe first time since his abrupt departure, ‘Tho military orderties stationed in-tho halla, who had * Deen for the lest few months enjoyiag a luxurious freo- dom, ai oncb recogniwed the fact thatachango had * come o’er tio spirit of their dreams, and as -the illus- trious Seorstary emverod they straightened ap to the rigid attitude of a seidier, eyes %0 the front and little finger on-e line wah the scam of the pantaloons, The Secretary ontered his old, famitiar audionee chamber, where Groat was found in position, flanked by a multi- tude of official “documents, receipts and invoices. Despiteé! that bes been said from time-to time to the contrary, the twe- Secretaries of War met ana grooted each otber with marked cordiality, afterwhich the pro- cess of transferring the responsibilities ef the War Oiice Was entered upon, A considerable number of the officers, clorks amd Morsengers Of the department were assembled in the hails to witness the arrival of the Secretary, and thoso who were yet in ignorance of his presence in the butid- ing were shortly after made aware ‘of it by the loud, O'Grady-hke ringing of bells. Mercery seemed to bave entered the heeis of messengers and an intensely atu- ious air had settiod upon all the-cierke, 1t may be ‘worthy of mention that at an early hour this mornieg a Bumber of tall, portly gentlemen, with hugo bundles of official papers and plethoric wallets, had assembled in ‘Whe ante-room, Each had hie inquiry to make—‘‘Ie Sec- retary Stamton instaliod yet? Can J see him Notwitastanding the hurry and bustle of a “turning over,” these influential visitors were granted an‘au- dience. The great armfuls of books and documents that were going out atone door and the large quantity ef some kind of office material that was-carried in at another; the ruening hitber and tnitheref clerks and ordorlies, the dilicent searchmg in the torners of desks and drawers for odds and ends; theair of relief manifested by outgoing ollicials;: the sudden appearance of old functionaries, sufficiently indicated the character of the change that going on, At-half-past eloven-Genoral Grant issued forth from the audience chamber, and ‘with an unusual lightness and rapidity of step made his Way out of the building and across the street to his heaaquarters, tripping aloug as buoyantly asdid Pil- grim when te left the sepuichro behind him, and seem- ingly delighted at naviog shaken off his shoulders tho whole department, official correspondence, orders, con- tracts, claims and all other perplexing adjuncts of tho war admimistration, There are those, however, who entertain grave doubts as to whether the General-in-Chiof is really gratified with the change that affairs have taken, Many beneficiat transforma tions that have been effected.by him are in danger of being overthrown, and not. few salutary reforms that he had in contemplation, and some that bad been com. mencod, are nipped in the bud, The General, it sees, is a deliver in the constitutionality of the Tenure of Office law, and recognized the right of Mr, Stanton to the position of Secretary of War and constitutional ad. viser of the President, Not having received apy specific instructions from the President, he was left to adopt whatever course appeared proper under 4ho circum. stances, and he decided to abdicate. Thus the vexed question of the Stanton suspension is settled, and the only question in relation to it which g08sips are Dow concerned about is whether Mr. Stanton Will resign or continue in the office of Secretary to a President who does not want his services, The Cabinet convened to-day promptly at.noon, all of the membors belng present except Attorney General Stanbery and Secrotary Stanton. General Grant arrived a few minutes after twelve and loft about haif-past one A personal friend .of Secretary Stanton’s stated yeeter- day that\itis the intention or Mr. Stanton to.sead to the President his resignation in avery few daye, SPECIAL TELEGRAMS T0 THE HERALD.

Tbe circumstances surrounding the difficulty are of euch an.gnomulous character—nothing of the kind having ever cocurred beforo—that those persons whe are Dest iuformed in such matters are greatly divided in Opinion as to whe is in the right and whois in the wrong, Rumore of al! kinds are floating about the city, prince pally in refercnoeto the action that ¢he Prosident will adopt in the cimougeocy. Gae rumor states that tho President will ware an order removing Stanton another has it that the President wild piace General Grant in arrest for dereliction of duty. None of these cumors, .towever, can be traced to a Feliablo source, H Is douktloss true that the President i incensed at the conduct of General Grant in yielding up to War #epartmont without in stractions from his superior.

The House, at four o'clock, adjourned, AMUSEMENTS, Waxiack’s Tireatre.—Mr. Lester Wallack was heartily welcomed on Monday evening by a fashionable and ap- preciative audience on his return to the stage after twelve months’ rest, He was in splendid condition, and Planche’s charming comedy of “The Captain of the Watch,” as well as J. M. Morton’s now and sprightly comedy of “Woodcock’s Little Game,” enabled bim to exhibit some of the best qualities which have entitled him to his acknowledged position at the head of our light comedians, Everybody is familiar with the fine face and figare of this “gentlemanly actor.” He can make even the “gorgeous swell” reveal those occasional touches of human vaiure that warrant Byron's leniency and almost tenderness towards dandies, In the bali- room, ag well as at Balaclava, the fop is not incapabio pe ners breaking out intoa mano. If Mr, Lester Wallack could only inake up his mind to efface bimesolf more entirely in his various réies according to the exact- ing rule of the French stage, which bids an actor lose and utterly forget his own identity, and inexorably shaves of both moustache and side whiskers, it ts undeniable that his impersonations would gain far more than his marked porsonalty would lose. As it is, his complete sel'-posee-sion sireogthens his influence over the spectators of any scene in which he is con- ‘spit and it ts dificult to decide which most to admire, raceful ease of manner, bis vivacity, or his irresistible and contagious fun. fe have heard his acting called conventional; but, if so, it is the finest kind of conventional acting.
