the right, regardless of persons or conse-
quences. The latest howl-under cover
of rumor-appeared as follows, in Tues
days New York Tribune, as the precious
contribution Of correspondent -
"WAsHINaToN, June at is reported
on good authority tonight that Mr..
STANTON has resigned. This is not posi-
lively confirmed, but it is known that he
has determined to leave the Cabinet very
soon. There is q report aaoat that the
decision has been assisted by violent
: collision between the President and the
Secretary, both strong willed men, in
which the latter indulged in his brusque
manners, and the former took occasion to
inform him that he (ANDY) was President
of the United States. But it is said that
there is not much in this, for the Presi
dent assured Major General yesterday
that the separation about to take place
was only induced by the prostration Of
Mr.. Stanton by his exhaasting labors

tion of Minister to Berlin, but the place

following emphatic and authoritativ
manner, in leading editorial article G
