NEW ORLEANS, z. M, April 1867,N
General .. S. Grant transmit bv NIL
to-day, a communication from Gen G, .;,i'
in which he asks for the removal of Gu Gu
Throckmorton, of Texas. I feel like Cr;s
fin on the subject, that he ought TO be re-
moved, and fear will be OBLIGED tn re-
move the Governor of Louisiana. He iu
impeding me as much as he can, will
commence the registration of Louisiana 90
soon as the supplemental bill reaches mo
| officially. [ feel myself fully equal to the
new task, and hope to get through with il
creditably to the military. send Grifin's
application and this telegram, asking the
benefit OF your judgment. 1t is nv inten.

{" P. II. SHERIDAN, Mai. GenI."
" Washington, Apra 3, 1867.-To Major Gener-
al r. ii: Sheridan, New Orleans, Louisiana : /
would advise that no removal of Governors NJ
States be made at present. 1t is question now
under consideration whether the power exists nm
der the law to remove, except by special act Of
Congress-, by trial under the sixth section Of tha
act promulg gated in orders SO.
U. S. GRANT, General"
Attorney General Stanbery's opinion, as
recently published, was so i'm perfectly trans
mitted or printed that he has determined
that the forthcoming opinion on the DOW
ers Of military commanders shall not be
given to the public until printed copies of
it can be prepared for transmission by mail
to the leading journals Of the country The
main points of this opinion were submitted
to and approved by the Cabinet to-day.
The Cabinet also has under considera-
ton the matter Of the Indian troubles and
Sheridan's removal of Governor Wells.
Upon the former subject. the sentiment
of the administration is generally in accor-
dance with the views expressed by General
Sherman, and steps will be taken immedi-
ately to correct the abuses practiced by In
dian agents, contractors, quartermasters
etc.
The action of General Sheridan in the
removal Of Governor Wells does not meet
the approval of the administration The
reconstruction acts are regarded by the
Cabinet as exceedingly oppressive and
harsh III themselves, and they think that
such a construction as the law should not
be permitted, whereby greater hardshps
can be worked
The opinion of the Cabinet is that there
is no warrant of law for the removal Of the
State officers. All statements about so
called "rings" having urged the President
to remove General Sheridan have but slight
foundation. But one person, Louisian.
ian, q politician and radical has suggest
ed Gen. Sheridan srcmOval, and Mr.. John,
son has not encouraged any one to believe
that he entertained the idea of such n re
mOyJ. The stories about the Presidents
intention on this subject are manufactured
by persons totally unadvised of the pur-
poses or intentions of the administration.
kilograms that the President is very i'll
are untrue. Mr.. johnson was scarcely ever
in better health than he was yesterday and
to-day, and except slight cold on Sunday
last, he has not been i'll for about two or
three weeks. DATA.
