To Lt-COl. Thomas H. Gdrnsey:
Dear Sir:-Your selection as q member of
my staff, originally, was due to a personal re-
gard, but not less to the fact that you were in
which was the organ and representative.
Having seen fit to separate yourself from
that organization, and embrace views and prin-
ciples utterly at variance with those who adj
here to it, of which number I am one, proprie-
ty forbids that the official relation subsisting
between us should continue. 1 await the ten
der of your regisnation, that some gentleman
may supply your place, whose opinions and
feelings are more in harmony with my own
and the party have the honor to represent.
The necessity for this communication is the
most painful Of my public life, severing as it
does one of its most delightful associations;
but it must be obvious to you that it is impos-
sible for me to allow myself to be compromis-
ed by the announcement that "a member of
Gov. Conys STAFF is engaged in active HOSTILE
ty to the principles, policy and party supported
by himself it1 f'ftn
Thanking you cordially for your many acts
of kindness, and the support you have extend
ed me during my administration, which will
be held ever in cherished remembrance,
have the honor to be 'fN t "i (

Col Garnsey replies in letter which fills
three columns of the Times, avowing as his
reasons for adhering to Mr.. Johnson's policy
that he, in common with the Union party, sup
ported the war not for the conquest, of the
South, but to restore the Union-and that,
therefore, in his belief the rebellion being at an
end, the rebel States should ut once be rein
stated in their Congressional approximation
and he accuses Congress at the same time of
opposing such restoration. To the fact that
Congress and the people merely claim right
to make the restoration of the rebels safe for
the country, by enacting such constitutional
provisions as shall reduce their representation
to the same basis as that of the loyal States
and shall prevent them from saddling the coun-
try with the rebel debt, he makes no reference,
though this is the only point of difference be-
tween Gov. Cony and the people on the one
hand and Mr.. johnson and Col Garnsey on
the other cul E r Ao-

Sheriff Ogden took the pistol away and told

who had started for their homes hearing the

GENERAL GRANT AND THE sPRFsDENT.-It
seems that the remark of General Grant at the
theatre in Cincinnati, in regard to the demon
stration rendered him there, was distorted for
partisan purposes and sent over the country as
public speech insulting to the Republicans
of Cincinnati and of the country. This has
greatly annoyed the general, and in CONVEX
sation at Pittsburg with correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune he has taken unusual pains
to set himself right. This gentleman says:
He informed me that he had made no speech
at Cincinnati, at all; that he had private con-
versatlon in his own box at the theatre with
gentleman who called to propose some kind of
demonstration in his honor; that he had
told this gentleman that the President of the
United States was his superior officer. and
that he (Grant) was under the Presidents
command, and that he could not feel otherwise
than annoyed at the demonstration evidently
gotten up to offend the President as it would
emoarrass EN- the relations existing between them.
For this reason he desired his friends in Gin
clnnati to omit their demonstration and leave
hlm to ENJOY the performance at the theatre
adding that he should be glad to see them all
at the Burnet House the next day.
The correspondent continues:
The General added that he had accompanied
the Presidential party at the Presidents re-
quest-that he had abstained equally from de-
claring his own political sentiments, or author
izlng any one else to do SO. He said that nei-
ther Mr.. Seward nor any other person could
commit him to any set Of political opinions
that he was annoyed at the successive attempts
which have been made by Seward and others,
60 announce to the people along the road that
MI ms political views were in harmony with those
OF MT; johnson. l inquired whether it was
true that he had attended the interview be-
tween the Philadelphia Convention Commit
zee and the President upon his own notion
he REPLIED Of course not. That being a
purely political gathering, it was none of my
PRESIDENT, and all attempts to attach politi-
ed and impertinent. :.
