WASHINGTON, September 1.-The
recent order of Gen. Grant, that Dis
trict Commanders will make no ap-

selves or their predecessors, does not
make a new issue between the Presi-
dent and Gen. Grant. There is good
authority for asserting that the rumors
OF difficulty having arisen on this
subject are groundless. The Recon
struction Act vests in the General

of Grant is merely considered as q
notice, in advance, that he would dis
approve of such appointments as he
indicates.
