AuthOritively Denied.
Press Dispatch.

WASHINGTON June Some persons
may be interested in learning that the
Chronicle of to-day, in order to set at rest
what it calls a malignant false report,
says on the authority of Mr.. Stanton
himself that he has not resigned, that it
is not known that he has determined to
leave the Cabinet very soon, and that he
has had no dispute, no difference, no col
lision with President johnson. His re-
lations with the President are of the
most cordial and friendly character, and
the Presidents relations with Mr.. Stan
ton are entirely agreeable and contiden-
tial. He has never had difference,
much less a collision with his Secretary
of War, nor has he given such assurance
to any one, Major General or otherwise,
as has been attributed to him; and the
Chronicle says that the latter statement
is made by authority of President John
son.
