GRANT AND THE PRESIDENT.
Though the argument between Gen.
| Grant and the President has ended,
neither has accepted the position of the
| other. Mr.. johnson, aided by the legal
/ ad vice of such men as Black, has fatty
told Grant that whatever may have
| been the intention of Congress, 1t did
not really give Grant any power TO in
Struct district commanders, or TO dlsap-
prove any Of the recent orders, except
such as relate to removals. A close
and careful analysis of the law AT head
quarters has convinced General Grant
that the President is right on the strict
construction of the law.
The President told Grant that under
the Reconstruction law the latter
had no right TO issue paragraph i've
of the order to General Thomas, and
Grant replied that the paragraph in
question was issued under army regu-
lations, which, he claims, gave him the
right. He has indicated his purpose
to prepare directions of the same char
| acter and transmit them to Hancock.
| All Johnson's friends are claimiug,w with
great glee, that the supplemental Re-
construction act of the late extra SEES
sion will virtually place no serious OBJ
| stacles in the Presidents way, II he
| desires to defeat Congressional recon-
struction, and that If Mr.. Johnson
should order the time for registering
extended, and the time of election post
puned, Gen. Grant could neither refuse
to transmit the order nor prevent its
execution. Gen. Grant Is determined
to fearlessly exercise all the powers
vested in him by Congress, as they are
interpreted by the best legal advice.
PLOT TO GUST COMMISSIONER ROLLINS.
An effort is on foot to secure the re-
mOval of Commissioner Rollins, and
replace him by Gen. j. 3 Steedman.
SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT.
Ii is considered somewhat significant
that the moment johnson began his late
movement, the Conservative Army and
Navy Union met and reorganiZed. This
is the body that in October last ex-
pressed sympathy with Gov. Swan in
opposing the action of the Union sol
dieIs who had intimated purpose to
| support the Union Police Commission
ers. .Ha
FERNANDO WOOD
Reached the city yesterday, and had a
long interview with the President to-
day. accompanied by COyle, of the In
teLtigencer. On Saturday last Coyle had
an Interview with Johnson, and pro-
ceeded at once to New York. He was
at the New York Hotel, the headquar-
tiers of ex-rebels, with Coy. Swan, on
Sunday. Wood returned to New York
tonight. --.. ave-
20 A LAUGHABLE BLUNDER.
Although Judge Black is hand in
glove with the President in his new
schemes, his late sudden recall TO this
city was the result OF one of the most
ludicrous mistakes conceiva BILE. It APP
pears that Seward had addressed II note
TO MIR. Blacque, the new Turkish Min
lister, intimHting that the Cabinet was
abo ut TO break up, and he would like to
see him. By mistake this reached the
office of Judge Black, who was in Penn
sylvania working up matters. His SON
opened the note, telegraphed in all di-
reCtions, found his fathers whereabouts,
sent a foil dispatch, saying the Cabinet
was going to pieces, and Seward want
ed to see him. Jerry took a night train,
got back at daylight, and at noon, with
Ward Lamon, started for the State De-
partment Seward was just leaving for
the Cabinet, and asked the party TO walt,
as he might not be gone long. The
meeting was protracted, and the clerks
began TO close up the Department. At
ter three hours waiting, the party left.
and returned the uext morning, Sew
ard received them, and asked what he
could do. Black, surprised, said he had
come in obedience TO the dispatch.
Seward, nOnplussed, rang the bell, call
ed his Secretary, Cross-eXamined BLACK
and then the Secretary, when the fact
ofthe error in Transmitting the note TO
the Turkish minister came out, and the
mystery was solved. The above is
Stewards own version of the affair.
Black looks wise when questioned re-
gardiug his return, but says nothing.
