The PRESIDENT AND Mr.. STANTON
dispatch from Washington dated yesterday
says: There is now no doubt Of the fact that
the President to-day formally requested Mr..
Stanton to resign his position as Secretary Of
be has taken this course in order to secure a
unity OF political views in the Cabinet.
The Washington Chronicle says: Mr..
Stanton absented himself from the Cabinet
meeting on Friday, and on Saturday the Pres
ident is said to have stated that the Secretary
of War would be removed before Sheridan.
In addition to the disagreement which has
existed tor some time, between the President
and Mr.. Stanton, on subjects connected with
the present condition of the country, the i'm
mediate cause Of difficulty was the proposed
removal of Gen. Sheridan, which was opposed
warmly by Mr. Stanton. Gen. Grant, Also it
is said, is opposed to the contemplated removal
of Gen. S. Congress, in the Tenure Office
law, placed it out OF Mr.. John.on's power to
remove Mr. Stanton, and he could only request
his resignation; and it is not known that he
will comply with the request, though We pre-
sumo he will; notwithstanding rcport that
he has told some Of his friends that he will not
resign
The Norfolk Firginian mentions several III
stances in our State Of the violation Of our old

ufactures," by the purchase Of articles from
abroad, which are made at home, Just as good,
if not better and it properly extends the
maxim mentioned to the encouragement Of the
products Of the brain as We'll as the hand. -
This is not exclusiveness or SeiGshness-but
wisdom and fair dealing and Judgment. 10
support and encourage one 5 own people, first,
in their labor, skill, and industry, is the way
TO make a united, prosperous, and tiourlshing
community. To pass by and neg lcct the claims
OF cur own merchants, mechanics, manniactu-
rers aud professional men, is to lepress their
energies, blight their prospects, and DO real III
jury to our neighbors and friends. Business
of all kinds is most Aourshing and constant III
any city or town where those who conduct it
are encouraged by those in whose midst they
live.
There is great 'contrariety' Of opinion
among the Radicals and the Cu-operaionists
in Virginia, as to the political condition Of
parties-and the proper policy OF representa-
ton for political effect We noticed, the other
day how Mr.. Bolts and Mr. Tourney differed
concerning the "enslavement design 1t
now seems that Mr.. Bolts is equally far apart
from his co-laborers on another topic-the
Democratic party. They generally say the
Democratic patty is dead-buried- to
rise again. Mr.. B, on the other hand, atfrlns
that ''the Democratic party is not dead but
it is alive, and must be fought against as siren
uously as ever! The leaders ought to settle
down upon the same thing"
The Coalition" is not harmonious. The
difficulties have not been settled. A dispatch
from Richmond dated yesterday says :--"To-
day, In the u s. Court room, All alteration
took place between Mr. Hawxhurst, President
of the late Convention, and MIR. John NJ. Bolts
The latter accused the former of having, ty
trickery, brought about an adjournment OF the
body 10 prevent Bolts from addressing it
Mr.. II. denied the charge and addressed
letter to Judge Underwood declining any long
er serving on the jury with Mr.. B.
Gov. Pierpont, who, not having much TO
DO 10 the Office he holds, it seems is d.voting
his powerful energies to the ''prt gress'' Of
Rod no Sa1; ,ofP
cues, does not appear to think much Of educa-
ton as qualification for colored suffrage
We presume be holds that Conservative black
man ought to be highly educated. Whilst a
RADICAL one may be spared the trouble and
expense Of acquiring any knowledge.
