pondent says:
Sherman's statement to the committee
on the conduct Of the war, concerning his
negotiations with johnson, is.not as hostile
to stanton as it was supposed. Stanton is
master of the situation. He has more pat.
rouage than ever to use, and of course will
use 1t in pressing his advantage.

Gen. Grant has ordered bar rooms and
places where liquor is sold within the Dis
