Sheridan and Stanton to be Removed.

The public have been favored for the last
ten days with rupors from Washington, re-
peated every day, that President johnson
had determined to remove Gen. Sheridan
from the command of his military district,
and would send him to fight the Indians,
while some officer supposed to be more friend
" to the rebels was to be stationed in Louis
lana. The order has been moinentarily ex-
pected for several days, but has not, at this
writing, been promulgated. The latest rea-
son given for the delay is that Secretary
Stanton and Gen. Grant oppose the removal,
and both are so urgent to retain so vigorous.
fearless aud valuable an officer that they
effect his purpose of removing Sheridan. 1t
IS said that Attorney General Stanbery, on
the other hand, is insisting on the removal OF
the gallant General. not having had any love
for him since that officer declared the attor-
ney's opinion multiplying the reconstruction
act to be - a macadamized road for perjury
to travel on These rumors are at last still
further complicated by the renewal of the
I'D story that the President was also going
to remove Stanton, that officials opposition
to the Johnsonian notions of reconstruction
having become quite too offensive to A. j.
The civil tenure act, to be sure, provides
