OF the Presidents views in relation to
the case of Mr.. Stanton and its publica-
ton here this morning was authorized
by him:
Whoever shall take the place will re-
ceiye an appointment outright as Sec
rotary OF War, vice L. NJ. Stanton, re-
moved; for it is the purpose of Mr.. john
son to make an absolute removal OF
Mr.. Stanton under the law as it existed

bill was passed, aud himself pre-
pared part of the veto message
denying the power OF Congress to pass
any such an act, the removal of Stan
ton having been accomplished in the
manner indicated. The President will

out of abundant caution, and in order
that that act might also be within the
terms OF the tenure of office bill but
IL was in the first instance the purpose
of the President to make an absolute
removal OF Stanton sooner or later.
