POLITICAL COMMUNICATIONS.

As we occasionally receive communications or
the state of the country, in political point o.
view, which we invariably decline, we wish to de-
fine our position in this matter. .-a#
Such communications are not declined in any
disrespectful spirit towards their authors. We
have no desire to choke down the aspirations OF
sentiments of. any man But the ENQUIRER Is
not intended to be the medium through which the
people may learn the views'' of this, that or the
other. politician. 1t is private concern, the pro
prietor of which does not choose to become lad
der by which others are to climb into office at hi
expense. We have right to publish or not te
publish such communications but as we could not
fairly admit one and refuse others, we prefer te
refuse all. Any other course would soon make oul
paper mere record of private quarrels and dis
cussions, in which our readers generally would
take no interest. ..
To avoid making the paper political hack, ii
was announced in the prospectus that the discus,
sion of political or vexed questions" would be
eschewed. While we claim the right to express
our opinions on such questions whenever we see
proper to do so, as rule, we treat Of politics only
as a,eus, aiming, as family paper, to keep oul
readers posted on the various political changes and
events of the day. 49,. .. ,..... e.. % .. ....

GENERAL sICKLEs' VERSION.

General Sickles in communication addressed
to General GRANT, covering four columns and q
half in the Charleston Mercury, gives his version
of the conflict between the civil and military au,
thorities. The following extracts from the COM
municaton present the cause of the difficulty, and
the basis of his action:
Early in the present month communication
was received from the Marshal for the District Of
North Carolina, dated July &c. 1867, informing ME
that Colonel Frank, commanding the Military Post
of Wilmington, had forbidden the enforcement Of
an execution issued at the Juneterm of the United
States Circuit Court. The communication, al
though exceptional in tone and matter, was refer
red to the Post Commander for report. Colonel
Frank himself, about the same time, reported that
he had temporarily suspended the proceedings Of
the Deputy Marshal, assigning as reason tor his
action, that the enforcement of the execution was
believed to be in violation of Paragraph IL, Cen
eral Order No. 10. This action Of Col. Franks
was approved; and he was directed to report all
the facts of the case, when further instructions
would be sent to him.
On the 18th instant, Col. Frank having report
ed that the Marshal was proceeding to enforce his
process, the following communication on the sub
iect was, on the same day, addressed to the head
quarters Of the Army: :.
