: the hsnit If c-edisng Tae story is as follows
GA Tuesday, after the interview between the

the. 5 scretary Of War addressed a note 70 the
President demonstrating against the arrange
nlent arrived az, and intimssing that II the tacta
ware IS stated, ne (the Secretary) would feel
compelled to resign. To this letter the Pfesldsni
replied, stating that the exigsncies OF the Tunes
required Inc arrangement, suggesting that II me
Secretary fsls disposed to resign he would isel
constrained 60 accept the resignation. Inc nota
called for The resignation of ths Secretary or the
Endorsement Of the order, and the Cabinet INSET

vacancy If il occurred 49,,
There is ouly one fact which shakes my faith
IN the trutlrOf the latter version Of the affair
and that IS the one ths. Mr.. Stanton was present
at the meeting Of the Cabinet.
The Cabinet meeting Of to-day was long con
4 siuusd. aud the guess is no doubt true that Il
he'd references to our present condition The
government, 1t IS apparent, IS ex9rtipg every en-
ergF for the ciIy's defense. I may be saIeiy
re5ssted there IS 10 panic herei but Of course
there is naturally a generally expressed s0llci-
