my statement made In this mornings Times
concerning the withdrawal Of Secretary
Stanton from the Cabinet and his appoint

In certain quarters. No one competent to
speak on tile subject has authorized such
denial, and I re-assert the truth Of the

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-The National
Republican Of this morning says, that it
has the highest authority TOR denying the
report that Mr.. Stanton has tendered his
resignation as Secretary of War. While the
National Intelligencer remarks that the
statement that he had written letter to
the President requesting to be relieved of
his position. WAS at least premature, the
| latter paper says II Is understood that Mr..
Stantonohas signified his intention to ask to
be relieved as soon as his annual report is
completed, and also that on account ofbis
health he would not be averse, to spend
ing few years In Spain as the Minister at
Madrid. Without controvertng the all-
thority on which the above publication is
made by the National Intelligencer, and
without. attempting to state particulars, the
substance of the general newspaper dis
patch of yesterday may be repeated name
ly: There seems to be no doubt that Mr..
Stanton will soon retire from his present
position, and in that event there is strong
probability that Lieut.. Gen: Sherman will
be invited to take charge temporarily, at
least, of the War Department. la
Treaties Proclaimed.
The President has proclaimed the recent
treaties between the United States and
Japan, and between the Empire of Japan
and the Governments of the United States,
Great Britain, France and Holland--the
latter for the paymeuto Of $3000000 to the
Governments named-for all claims for past
aggressions, and the former concerning free
and dutiable importations. .s 7v-v
