feeling as General Grant did regarding
the policy of making it. The President s
confidential mon have disclosed the fact
that Mr.. Johnson had hoped that the per
emptory order to Thomas 10 displace Sher-
idan would lead to the resignation Of Gen
eral Thomas, and thus two Commanders
whom he specially disliked might lie put
out OF the way. Aside from this II was
known by the President that General
Thomas i'll health would at any rate rer-
der it impossible for him TO 20 South, anil
the use of his name, it was thought, would
serve to soften the order in the minds OF

A CONVERSATION WITH TIE PRESIDENT.
NEW YoRx, August PA Washington
correspondent ofthe Boston Post. in an ac-
count of conversation with the President,
says: 1.-The President remarked that at
one time General Grant strongly minated
that unless Stanton was removed he should
be compelled 10 leave here, as he could be
of no possible use in view OF Stanton's oyer
bearing and dictatorial conduct The
President adj vised him to have a talk with
the Secretary # War, and perhaps they
would understand each other better. He
agreed. however, with the General that Mr.
Stanton ought 10 I've removed, and inquired
of General Grant il he would take charge
of the Department in the event ola change
The latter promptly expressed a willing
ness to do so. | referred TO the rumor that
the General had eventually protested
against the removal The President frank
w said such was the case; that the General
had written him a very. kind but earnest
note in which he had intiinatcd his fears
of anarchy, If not revolution. should Sec
retarv Stanton be superseded, yet as he
c ,uid o. appreciate the Generals feaIs
he had directed the change"
The same correspondent states -ihat the
President said Sheridan was removed be-
cause Of his disrespectful telegram of June
23d, and for the exercise of powers he did
not possess. and the exercise of his legiti-
mate powersin N arbitrary and offensive
manner. He said the removal Of Cover
nor Wells was entirely uncalled for and
unjustifiable. On the other hand General
Sheridan had endcayored, TO execute The
law as a partisan, and had adopted Radi-
calism as the only true testof loyalty. His
sole purpose seemed to be to secure negro
supremacy and degrade the whites, and
for such conduct / deemed II my duty to
relieve him Ifonl that command.
