WASHINGTON.

Secretary stantOn's successOr-GeneraI
Grant Desires the Appointment Of
General sherman-The Nomination of
General steedman Not improbable.
WASHINGTON, October 29.-The impression
that General Grant objects to the appointment
OF General sherman as Acting Secretary of
War is entirely erroneous. On the contrary
when the retirement of Mr.. Stanton was deter
mined upon, the President, anxious to have
harmony between the Commander-in-C Chief and
the War Department., consulted with General
Grant as. % whom he should appoint.
Genera Grant has had reason to regret want
OF harmony between himself and Secretary
stanton, and was anxious to remedy the evil
and avoid the difficulties resulting therefrom
He desired the appointment OF General Sher-
man to the position, because satisfied OF his
hearty cooperation in the important work of
reorganizing the army. At his request General
Sherman was sent for. There is also no ques-
tion OF rank in the matter. General Sherman
can only be Acting Secretary of War unless he
resigns his Lleutenant-Generalcy, which he has
not the remotest idea of doing. Indeed, II is
said that he VIII not accept the post dd interinl,
bat Is to return Immediately to the West
In case OF Sherman's declnation, General
Grant WILL II is believed, ask for the appoint
ment of General James B. Steedman. General
Grant and the latter have compared notes on
the subject of the respective duties OF the Secre-
tary OF War and Commander.in-Chief, andSthe
former is satisfied that he would have the CO.
operation OF General Steedmen IL appointed
Secretary of War. The latter has been for some
time past strongly urged upon Mr.. johnson.
He is positive man, of fine administrative
abilities, and would be an excellent successor
to the present Secretary.
