two to Sheridan's removal, was

b WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.-The eN
citemont in the New York gold
room had its origin in the National
Intclligenccr's editorial Of this
morning, which only tells an old
story that the members Of the Cabi-
net, in view of Stanton's tenacious
moss, had informally placed thoir
effects at the disposal of the Prcsi-
dent. There is no probability Of
any immediate changes in the Cab
'inct. /
Grants letter to the President
says that the people who have sacri-
feed lives and spent money for tho
country's preservation are evidently
opposed to Sheridan's removal He
performed his duties faithfully and
intelligently, and his removal will |
be regarded as an effort to defeat
Congressional views, and embolden
to renewed opposition those whoat-
tempted to break up the Govern
ment by force OF arms.
" Thomas has repeatedly objected /
to being placed in charge, of
the 9th District. Hancock's De-
partment is intricate, and he should
not be removed.
Grant adds: "Thero are military, |
pecuniary, and, above all, patriotip |
reasons why this order should not
be insisted upon" to which the
President, replying, says he is not
aware that the question of Shori-
dams retention has been submitted
to the people. 1t would be unjust
TO tho army to assume that Sheri-
dan alone is capable ofcommanding
the, 9Th District. Thomas admin
istration of tho Department Of the
Cumberland will compare iavorably
with Sheridan's government of tho
9th District.
\ Sheridan has rendered himself
by tho manner of execu-
ting tho law, and more by assuming |.
authority not granted him, His
rule has been one of absolute tyran-
ny, without reforencedto the princi.
pies of our Government, or to tho
nature OF free institutions. His
course had seriously interfered with
tho harmonious and speedy execu
tion of the acts of Congress. His
removal cannot be regarded as an
effort to defeat them. The object of
the changcis to facilitate the exc
cutioR throughout. An officer wha
never failed to obey the statutes of
the land, and within his jurisdiction
like obedience from others.
The President complimented
Thomas and Hancock, and feels as
sured that under Gen. Sherman
guidance, Sheridan will win honors
fighting the Indians. In conclusion,
the President fails 10 perceive any |
military, peeuniary or patriotic !
reasons why the order should not be |
carried intoscifect. m -
