Secretary stanton Suspended.

We publish in another column the
Correspondence between President john
son and Secretary Stanton, in which it
will be seen that the Secretary has been
suspended and commanded by the acci-
dental occupant of the White House to
hand over the Office to General Grant
who by direction of the President is to
perform the duties of the Office al inter
I'M.
The suspension of Secretary Stanton
can only be accounted for on The ground
that Mr.. Stanton was in favor of carry
ing out the reconstruction policy of Con.
gress in opposition to the My Policy"
of the Con servative Democratic Rebel
serving President. 1t would have been
happy thing for the people of the Uni.
ted States of this Rebel serving Presi~
dent had discharged his duties as faith
fully as the man he has suspended. The
American people in due time will mete
out Justice to those who are and have
been in authority. Stanton will be
held as mar who refused to bow to
the base behests Of the man who has
basely betrayed the trusts con6ded to
his keeping and is playing into the hands
of those who for over four years done
everything in their power to destroy the
fair fabric which the loyal people of this
country held so dear and through whose
wicked devices our beloved and revered
President lost his life and left vacant a
seat which is dishonored by the present
occupant, who uses the power placed ac>
cidentally in his Keeping for the attain
ment of base purposes and ambitious
schemes.

General Sickles is personally very pop
ular in Charleston. 1t is generally acknowl>
edged that he executes his duty with q
fidelity that nothing can shake, but he con-
trives to do it in such a manner as to avoid
unpleasant feelings. He places himself in
constant communication with the Oldest
residents and political leadere, and gives
them tn understand the necessity for carry
ing out any policy under the reconstruction
ACT that he may resolve TO adopt. By this
judicious course he secures the cooperation
OF a class whose support is most desirable
for the success of any measure, and the very
radical changes introduced have probably
struck deeper and endure longer than the
changes eIisGted in any other Southern De-
