Otmculty between Stanton ana the

Oepartment-Collisien between Ssere-
tary Harlan AID HGr. Usher.
Especial to Tribune
Washington, juno s.
1t is reported on good authority tonight
that MIR. Stanton has resigned. This is
not positively confirmed, butt is known
that he has determined to leave the Cab
net very soon.
There lie report afloat that this deci-
sion has been assisted by . violent col
llslon between the President and the Sec
retary, both strong willed men, in which
the latter INDUCED 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 President as
sured Major General yesterday that the
separation about to take place was o ply
induced by the prostration OF Mr.. Stan
ton and BY his exhausting lsbors.
Mr.. Stanton has been offered the pbsi.
ton of Minister to Berlin, but the place
Is not deemed of sufficient importance.
Ii his resignation be not already in the
Presidents hands, it will be shortly.
MIR. Harrington, Assistant Secretary Of
the Treasury, has resigned peremptorily,
aud will go as minister resident to Ber.
lin. in place of Mr.. Fogy. He has EN-
gagged passage and will sail by the first of
July.
1t is also rumored that Mr.. Field, an
other assistant, is willing to accept some
position abroad.
The difference of opinion existing be
tween Secretary Harlan and Mr.. Usher,
his predecessor, is very considerable, nd
Is sssuming serious form. The n ew
Secretary is examining in very impair
tisl manner the huge contracts which the
retired officer signed just before leaving
and rs demanding that they be re-estab
Iished on the principles of equity { nd
honesty. Against this rough criticism
Mr.. Usher protests 10 behalf of his ellen ts,
making the fight, it is understood, before
the President. The Interior Depa rt-
ment, consequently. is considerably agita-
ted Just now.
As one result of the complication Judge
Otto, Assistant Secretary. is leaving the
Department and John Wilson, now Third
Auditor, will succeed him.

mcxican Emigration scheme.

1t seems there are number Of persons
even in Iowa who have been infected
with the mania of Mexican emigration.
We have been consulted by several parties
on the subject aud have assured them that
the thing was an arrant humbug and ad-
vised them to have nothing to 60 with it.
And it may be we'll to repeat and enforce
the advice through our editorial columns.
In the 6rst place there is no scheme Of
emf grafton; it is a mere wild sporadic
movement here, there, and everywhere,
headed by enthusiasts or swindiers on
their own motion. The Mexican author
tiles have nothing to do with it, and
neither the Imperial nor the Re-
publican government have any RESPONSE
bility in the matter whatever. There are
no funds to inaugurate it, no provision to
secure compensation to the persone who
engage in it, and no prospects of any in
the future.
Moreover our government would no,
permit the Inauguration of any enter.
prise involving armed emigration to Mex.
leo. 1t is illegal and all parties engaged
in it are liable to arrest and punishment
Our Government is under the most i'm.
perative obligations of law, Of treaty and
of honor to prevent anything OF the kind
and it has already interfered with the
California. emigration to Mexico. Our
troops swarm along the Mexican border
and it is impracticable to get through ths
lines; our fleets fill the Gulf aud there il
no outlet for such expeditions BY sea.
While the Government is thus pledged
by law, by moral obligation and by homo
to prevent the armed invasion Of Mexic
under whatever pretence, and is 30 cspa
BILE of doing it; while the Mexican Gov
ernment has had not the slightest respon
sibility in the affair; and while there ar
neither men Of mark or of pecunisry res
possibility connected with the schemes
we are constrained to endorse most heart
lily the utter condemnation thereof pub
licly pronounced by Gen. Rosecrans an
Gen. Sherman. and warn the citizens {
Iowa to have nothing to do with this ma
project of fllibusterism.
1t will be time enough to engage i
the military invasion of Mexico whe
called upon by the Government to 60, j
vindication of its policy, under our gls
rious national banner, keeping time 10 th
music of the Union as Eyou follow Ii
Stripes and Stars in their victoriou

The public have scarcely heard of Val
landigham since his gres. feat Of engi
neering the Copperhead party at the Chi
cago Convention on to the failure
peace platform. But VAL, the great
Copperhead, after the usual reptile hyber.
nation, has come out rgain to sun himself
IN the genial columns of the Chicago
Times. His letter is long one, and to-
dious as it is long. and we can give but
one paragraph, which, indeed, is the con.
centrstion of its entire vitality:
He says:
"It is, indeed, already to be lamented
that, although Gen. Sherman may not
have had the authority-and he claimed
none for himself, referring all to the Ex-
ecutive-his plan Of paci6cation and re-
union was not promptly confirmed by the
President. II was concise, comprehen-
sive, complete proving him not less
wise and great in the science of states.
manship, than grand and triumphant in
In the arts of war. And it would have
made peace - Immediate and sincere
peace-from the Potimac to the Rio
Grand. This was his proud congratula-
tory boast to his army at the end of the
great struggle, and not of any victory in
the field. Defeating the armed military
hosts of the Confederacy, his aim at the
cose was t, conquer the h.ars of the
people also, and to be exalted TINS ma the
hero of peace-the only true heroism in
civil war;
Evidently the great Gyastieutis of the
"knights of the Golden Circle" the fa-
nous unhung traitor of Ohio, is trying to
fasten his party on Sherman and his pol
icy. and should he succeed it will te
more fatal to Sherman than ell the thun-
ders of Haleck and Stanton combined Il
for while the loyal people of the North,
without exception, condemn the policy of
Sherman's paciication with Johnston they
regard it as simply blunder, and are en-.
tirely willing to- overlook it, and in view
OF his great and gallant services, even to
take side with him against Gen. Halleck's
apparently absurd and vindictive assaults.
And there is not g loyal man in the lard
bnt will resist the attempt of the viperous
Copperhead Vallandigham to coil lis
brood around the neck of Sherman.
