Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.)
WASHINGTON, August 6.


The following is the correspondence
between the President and Mr.. Stanton
connecting the resignation of the latter:
August 5-Mr johnson to Mr.. Stan
ton: k
Considerations Of public interest
will persuade me to accept your resig-
nation if rendered
August 5-Mr Stanton to Mr.. john
son:
Considerations of public interest
have prevailed with me to hold this
office for many months past, and con-
siderations of public interest will pre-
vail with me to hold it till the assem-
bling of Congress"
The Cabinet was SHINY attended to-
day, only Randall, Browning, and Wells
being present.
At the special request of the Presi-
dent, and by his authority, it has been
widely telegraphed that hir. johnson
was not aware until two months since,
and through private source, that any
members of the Commission united in
recommending Mrs. Surratt to mercy
He also authorized and requested pos
tive denial that the recommendation
was ever officially brought to him.
Having thus publicly Joined Issue with
Judge Pierrepoint, the latter made the
following forcible statement concerning

any. That is part of the original record
which have produced. 1t is the hand
writing Of one Of the members of that
Court, towit: General Ekin. The orig
inal of that is now in his possession,
and in the handwriting of the Hon. John
A. Bingham. When the counsel called
for the record, sent on the afternoon
of that day to Judge Advocate Gen.
Holt, in whose possession the records
are. He brought it to me with his own
hand, and told me with his own voice
in the presence of three other gentle
men, that, that identical paper, then a
part of the record, was before the Pres
ident when he signed the execution, and
that he had conversation with the
President at that time on the subject
That is my authority. Subsequently to
this, having presented it here, the Judge
Advocate General called to receive it
back, and reiterated, in the presence of
other gentlemen the same thing. That
is my knowledge and that is my author
ity
This statement of Judge Pierrepont
raises direct question of veracity be-
tween the President and Judge Holt,
but it is well understood by all in Off
cial circles here, that the whole thing is,
on the part of the President, DELHI
crate and malicious falsehood

How they talked when Democracy was
Hopeful.

1OPeIui
Not six months since. when it was
supposed that the Democracy might
come into power by change of base,
the Chicago Times held thus:
1.-THE word white is not found in any
of the original constitutions, save only
that of South Carolina In every other
state, negroes who possessed the quail
fications that were required partially of
al! men, were admitted to vote. And
many of that race did vote in the South
ern as well as the Northern States. And
moreover, they voted the Democratic
ticket: for it was the Democratic party
Of that day which affirmed their right in
that respect upon an impartial basis
with white men. All Democrats can
not, even at this day, have forgotten the
statement of General Jackson, that he
was supported for the Presidency by the
negro voters in the State of Tennessee
And further:
'The doctrine of impartial suffrage
is one of the earliest and most essential
doctrines of Democracy. It is the affirm
alton of the right of every man who is
made partaker of tue burdens of the
State to be represented by his own con-
sent. or vote in it's government. 1t is
the first principle upon which all true
republican government rests. It is the
basis upon which the liberties of Amer
lea will be preserved, if at all. The
Democratic party must return from its
driftings, and stand again upon the i'm
mutable rock Of principle
Not long since, the Boston Post, delu-
ded by the same pleasant hallucination,
said
"Color ought to have no more to do
with the matter (voting) than size. On
~ establish right standard, and then
apply it impartially. A rule of that
sort is too firmly fixed in Justice and
equality to be shaken. It commends
itself too clearly to the good sentiments
of the entire body of our countrymen
to be successfully traversed by obiec-
tons. Once let this principle be fairly
presented to the people of the several
States, with the knowledge on their part
that they alone have the settlement and
disposal of it, and we sincerely believe
it would not be long before it would be
! adopted by every State in the Union.'
Unwittingly, the Democratic Conven-
ton in the Eighth Ohio District, A. D..
1866, said, without thinking once of the
| s'nigger:'
" Resolued, That we are opposed to
any taxation without representation"
Listen too to Moses johnson. He
| went as far as Garrison would have
done. 1t was Andy who would be their
''Moses to lead them on to Canaan" He

The CrOps.

We have had various and contradic tory
reports and rumors respecting the crops
from time to time. At one time it was
said that all the indications were in favor
OF large and unprecedented crops all over
the country; and soon thereafter came
the hoarse ho,ol of the croaker, that the
rains, the weevil, the rust, the cold weather.
and all those incidental drawbacks which
sometimes supervene to destroy crops,
had come upon the land like food and
swept everything away. Now, as the
season advances, and some of the crops
have been, in certain localities, harvested,
and in others are being harvested, VIC hear
more encouraging reports. 1t is yery
generally conceded now that throughout
the Middle States, Virginia and the soulb.
west the yield is abundant and overflow
ing. Indeed, from what we can learn from
our numerous exchanges, VIC set it down
as fixed fact that, averaging the crons
Of every kind all over the country, there
has never been a more plentiful Weld.
Let us, then, thank God, who has so boup.
tifully blessed us, and take courage.

THE NEW DOMINION AND ITS
POLICY.

Wehave watched somewhat closely the
incipient steps our Canadian neighbors
have taken to organize their "New Do.
minion." These steps have resulted in the
success Of their scheme, and the confed.
GRAFTON is, at least for the time being, q
fixed fact. There is not that perfect har.
mony and acquiescence in this new state
Of things among the people over the Dor.
der that is desirable in the beginning Of q
new Government. There is still pretty
extensive feeling in New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia in favor of annexation to the
United States. We sympathize with that
feeling, and believe that IL would be far
better for us and for them IL we were in
government, as we are in language and in
all commercial relations, one people. We
suppose for time it must be otherwise,
and we must make the best trade in regard
to tariffs with our Canadian brethren that
We can.
We observe that at recent convention
in Montreal, called to further the interests
OF this new Government, it was resolved
"that it is alike the duty and the desire OF
the Canadian people to cultivate the most
friendly relations with the neighboring
people Of the United States, and especially
to offer every facility for the extension Of
trade and commerce between the two coun-
tries" and that it was :" the duty of the
Canadian administration to meet frankly
and cordially any overtures from the WASH
ington Government for o new treaty Of
commercial reciprocity between Canada
and the republic, extending over O fixed
term Of years, based on equitable princi-
pies, and consistent with the honor Of both
countries"
This looks we'll; now let us SEQ what
overtures these people or their Govern
ment have to make to us. The late reci-
procity treaty was got up in good faith, by
competent parties, and by men who be-
lieved in it. 1t was popular for time, in
some regions especially, and it was thought
that II would work well. It did not, how
ever, realize the expectations OF its friends
on this side Of the line. 1t was too one
sided, too unequal in its operation. While
1t proved advantageous to some interests,
it completely prostrated others. The Ca
nadians themselves rcaped the great ad.
vantages from it, and in almost every in.
stance received the lions share Of the
benefits.
We have had years of.experience of the
operations Of reciprocity. We have seen
its workings, its successes, and its failures.
II will be a pity if we have not learnt
something during these years that may
guide the counsels of our statesmen, our
diplomatists, and our financiers. 1t is not
for us to go to them for help. They need
us more than we need them; and though
reciprocity can be made mutual benefit
to both sides, we can better forego its ad-
vantges than they can. Let these rulers
Of the "New Dominion" tell us what they
are willing TO do. Let them give us their
views; in short, let them at the proper
time send their commissioners to Wash
ington with instructions, and then we will
see how the matter stands. In the mean
time we may say to them no more Jug
handle trenties
