NEW YORK, Aug. 2l.-The Herald's
special says: Gen. Sickles is likely to
be the next victim OF the President, ow-
ing to his interfering with the man
dates of the Assize Court at Whining
ton, n. c., and ordering his subordi-
mates to give no heed to the order
of the Attorney General to the
United States Marshal to prosecute
criminally all parties obstructing the
execution of the process of the Supreme
Court. Gen. Sickles, it is understood,
takes the ground that if the Federal
rectiOns in his district, they may very
soon declare the reconstruction acts I'M
constitutional and void.
1t Is said that Gen. Sickles has writ
ten IA spirited letter to Gen. Grant on
that subject.
The Times special says: 1t is ex-
tremely probable that General How
ard will shortly be relieved from duty
as Commissioner of the Freedmen's
Bureau and mustered out of his vOlun-
teer rank, which will leave him Brig
adler General in the regular army.
An officer not higher in rank than Col
onel will probably be assigned TO the
Bureau. The name of Gordon Granger
is mentioned as his successor. be is
Colonel of one OF the new infantry reg
iments, but has never yet Joined his
command.
The Tribune's special says: At the
meeting of the Soldiers and Sailors I'm
ion which adopted II resolution denoun-
cling the Presidents action in remov-
ing Stanton, the following resolution
was rejected on the ground that no one
knsw how Grant stood and it would
not do to endorse him:
RESOLVED, That approaching the su-
preme duty which rests upon soldier
of promptly obeying the lawful COM
mands of his superior officer, and look
ing to the assignment of General
Grant as Secretary of War, Gd interim,
in the nature of a military order from
the COMMANDMENTS Chief of the Army
and Navy, not to be disregarded,
although disapproved, without insub-
ordination; we indorse Gen. Grants
action in the premises, and congratulate
the country on having as the successor
OF Mr.. Stanton, one who is his proved
friend, faithful supporter, and un-
qualified endorser.

The Round Table, discussing law re-
form, makes pointed suggestion that
all contracts of pure credit, wherein
one man willingly trusts another, be
taken out of the Courts by being de-
clared unlawful. This would effect a
positive good by reducing the mass of
litigation at least one-halE. The paper
adds:
Cases of fraud would be fewer than
they are now. In the first place, every
one would select his agent and his debt
oIs with more care; in the second place,
fiduciary agents would be better paid
because of general anxiety TO get the
best. In the third place, agents and
debtors would be more faithful, be
cause want of fidelity to a trust would
be punished by society with remorse-
less, unforgiving cruelty.
Society Is instinctively unmerciful 10
sins which iniure it. and which are not
punished, or cannot be reached, by the
iaws-as witness its treatment of fallen
women. Character would have high
er pecuniary value than it has now, to
the great Improvement of the moral
tone of society. Many rich rogue,
now trusted only because of his wealth.
would find himself powerless to COM
mand a dollar on mere credit; on the
other hand, many an honest man now
scrapIng hard for living. would find
his services in ready demand at good
paw. So far from increasing the num-
Der of frauds, the leaving of credit to
regulate itself and the enforcement of
its own contracts would, at the same
time that it lessened the mass o. itiRa-
tIon, improve the moral tone of society
by giving honest men u more equal
chance with rogues than they now
hAve-in fact, by putting them above
the rogues in credit and in power.

GRANTS VICTORY OVER THE PRESIDENT.
The style in which General Grant got
out the Presidents order relieving
Sheridan, is very distasteful to Mr..
Johnson's friends, and particularly to
the Louisiana wing, which kas been
cIamorinR for Sheridan's removal.
The President has made allusion to
General Grants written protest against
IL, and evidently the intention Is to
suppress General Grants letter on the
subject. At any rate the President
went so far last night, as to intimate
that no such document existed. Ii Is,
however, known, positively, that when
the President announced his intention
to suspend Secretary Stanton, General
Grant sent an earnest remonstrance to
the President, in writing, against the
proposed action. This paper is now
buried at the White House in some
way. General Grant on receiving the
Presidents order yesterday, at once
called on him and earnestly protested
against it, and afterwards sent writ
ten protest, couched in very strong and
pointed language, which in all proba-
bility will be Withheld.
POPE AND HOWARD To BE REMOVED.
The evening johnson journals say
that Pope and Howard are 10 be de
capitated next. The President has in
tinIated an intention OF putting Colo
mel Gordon Granger at the head of the
Freedmen's Bureau. Granger has been
loafing around Washington ever since
the Cleveland Convention, doing the
Presidents work. General Grant has
tried several times to have him sent to
his regiment, but in each case the Pres
ident has countermanded the order.
PETITION FOR THE REMOVAL OF
STANTON.
The contents and history of one of
the first papers the President ever re-
ceived, concerning the removal of Sc
cretary Stanton, has come to light.
1t is a petition for his Immediate re-
moval, dated about year ago, and
originated at the Philadelphia Conven-
ton. 1t was drawn up by John Hogan,
of st. Louis, and first signed by the
Wisconsin delegation, followed by the
delegation of Ohio. and part of the Hi
nois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Min
nesota delegations. After the fall
elections, scores OF Office seekers who
visited the capital attempted frequently
to get their hands on this document, to
erase their names, but found on inquiry
at the White House that it had been
mislaid. Those most anxious to get
possession of it were military gentle
men seeking promotion or appoint
