aHs WASHINGTON NEWS.
Chicago, September 5.-The Tmes' special
says that Grant has had long and important
interview with the President in relation to the
proclamation relative to Sickles' order. Rumor
says high words occurred, but nothing is divulg-
ed regarding the interview by either of their
friends. Both agree, however, that the differen>
ces of opinion are irreconceable regarding the
foft tbar L.,
The amnesty proclamation will be issued in a
few days. Only about one hundred persons, now
under indictment, will be excepted from its pros
visions
1t is understood that an order removing Pope
will soon be issued Candy relieved SickIes to-
day. The President remarked yesterday that
one Cabinet Minister will soon be removed,
meaning Secretary Seward.
The 7Ti6une's special says Randall hopes soon
to have postal treaty with Spain, that will en-.
able him to open an American postal department
in Cuba. At present sixty thousand dollars
worth of postal matter goes to Cuba. There is
no American agent to take charge of it on ar
rival.
Specials to the New York papers give different
versions of the interview between Grant and the
President yesterday, conjecturing that serious
difficulties have arisen. Both officers preserve
reticeuce on the subject. Nothing definite is
known as to the character of the interview. 1t
is thought that Grant will soon be ordered back
to the army. Steadman is named to succeed
him in the war office, but he says he would not
accept it.
The papers generally agree that the amnesty
proclamation will be substantially as telegraph>
ed. Grant cencurs with the Presidents views
in regard to the matter.
Washington, September 5.-Sickles' letter to
Grant, written before the publication of tue At.
toruey Generals opinion, is published. 1t is
very lengthy. He says the charge that he made
issue with the Supreme Court and defed its de-
crees, is utterly unfounded, but if subordinate
functionaries of the Court choose to execute its
function they must be controlled, or the military
authority established over those States is defed
and must be set aside. The issue made is osten
sibly with the military commander, but really
with Congress. The same reason that induced
him to stay the collection of debts iu the State
Courts applied equally to cases 10 all the Courts
He believes Congress, Intending TO secure the
restoration of these States to the Union, made
al! other considerations subsidiary to this The
| process OF the Courts must not be allowed tC
override the orders that Congress empowered
him to make for its execution. Sickles saws ht
had never received any inumatiOn directly OF
indirectly, that his superior in authority differed
! with him in this opinion. lie SAYS if we ALLOW
the Courts their authorities and functions in thi
| Military District a wide door for fraud and per
| jury by creditors is opened to secure the iuris
dctou of the Federal Courts in cases whicl
| rightfully belong to State Courts
| The General proceeds to detail the circumstan
ces leading to the issue of Order No. 10. He de
feuds his course at great length, and conclude
is follows DEMONSTRATION in the Carolina
! has been done quietly without violence, withou
| the actual exercise of force, though il is know
| that force is here and will be used if necessary
Nor can hesitate in givirgyou as my deliberate
| conviction that if the civil agencies bad beei
employed in reconstruction or allowed to contro
| the military in the measures taken they woult
have failed and that failure would have rendered
necessary some time resort to military force
not to preserve order but to suppress violenc
and bloodshed. When consider how seemingly
hopeful are this tired out people, and how littl
remains to be done to secure all :he fruits of
difficult war waged, and how near is the ap

ment and regret. That done, and having per
formed the further duty of presenting fully IN,
