WASHINGTON, Monday, Aug. 10, 1867
The order for the removal of Sheridan, although
sent to Gen. Grant Saturday evening has not yet
been promulgated. Il is expected it will be on to-
morrow. Gen. Grant was at the White House to-
day. and had long conversation with the President
on the subject 1t is understood he earnestly pro-
tested against Sheridans removal and tried to get
the President to countermand the order, but the
latter is inexorabe 1t is believed the order went to
Sheridan tonight, but Grant and the President de-
cline to furnish il yet for publication. As it stands
now. Sheridan takes Hancocks place, who is trans
ferred to Thomass present command, the latter TAX
ing Sheridans. The President is very generally de-
nounced especially among the friends OF his Ad-
ministration for his action in tins matter the latter
urging that it is now too late. The New-Orleans dis
contents are not very enthusiastic over the assign
ment of Thomas to the command.
The politicians around the hotels and newspaper
Offices considerably excited this evening because
Of report which was generally believed, that all
the Cabinet Ministers had rendered their resigna-
tons to the President that the latter could accept
any one he wished. Mr.. johnson, however denies
that he has any knowledge of the matter; SO the
report may be set down as false.

their regular meeting, held tonight, unanimously
passed n series of resolution strongly condemnatory

retary of War expressing their high appreciation of
the latters zeal patriotism frmness and ability with
which he discharged the duties of that post'On and
declaring that the final triumph of the national arms,
forr xYitb 0i0 fia
was due in small measure to victory organized by
the genius and skill of Stanton, the Carnot of the
great American revolution
1t is stated that Assistant Attorney General Bnck-
ley is preparing what he calls another expose of a
conspiracy against the President. IL is, however,
understood Attorney General Stanbery will object TO
it, and that the President will not be so ready to
print it as he did the other.
Thrty-four members of the bar of the District OF
Columbia, disappearing of any review Of the orders
of the Court at pnblic meetings Of the BAR and disa
vowing the attempt TO bind them to the action Of
the meeting held in the courtroom week ago, have
called public meeting for tomorrow to give express
sion to these views.
