Correspondence Of the Charleston Courier.


Correspondence of the Charlestos Courier.
> WAsHlSGToN, August 7.
The President finding that Secretary Stan
ton would not tender his resignation upon a
verbal invitation, yesterday sent him note,
stating .hat political considerations required
his resignation. The Secretary replied with
equal brevity that public considerations re-
quircd him to remain until the meeting o.!
Congress. The President declares freely in
conversation that be will not permit Mr.
Stanton to attend the Cabinet meetings again.
He claims the right to remove him in spite
of the tenure of Office law, concerning the
construction of which there is some dispute.
But ho says he will suspend him from the
execution of official functions, which he can
,ccrtainlv do. The tenure of office bill ap-
plies, as some suppose, only to heads OF de-
partnerts, who were appointed by the Presi-
dent, and Mr.. Stanton was the appointee Of
Lincoln. But the law in its spirit applies to
any meIaber of the Presidents Cabinet. Il
is plain that Mr.. Stanton intends to give the
law construction which will enable him to
hold the office, and which vii! be sustained
by his T.adcal friends in Congress.
Nearly year ago the President had deter
mined tn dismiss Mr. Stanton, but be was dis
suaded from it by Mr.. Weed, and Mr.. Ray
mond, aud Mr.. Seward.
Mr.. Seward is, no doubt, opposed to any
breach in the Cabinet as now composed. Gen.
Grant, i: is supposed, was favorable to the
retention of Mr.. Stanton.
The President has delayed the removal OF
Gen. Sheridan in the expectation of being rid
of Stanton. He wishes to be relieved from
this encumbrance, before he encounters the
storm which the removal of Sheridan will
make. Besides, it may be an Inconvenience
to give Lis orders through Secretary Of War
who 10 unfriendly to that object.
The Radical politicians all advise Stanton
to hold On and badger the President as much
as he can. They have probably advised
Sheridan to do the same thing, if the Presi-
dent should attempt to relieve him. They
hold promises, no doubt delusive, of high pre-
ferment and popular regard, as the reward ol
his insutordination. LEU.

reapondence which recently passed between

A singular R0BBERY.-One OF the Boston
banss has for some time occupied Il room
over Its banking house for the storage Of It's
old record books, &c. There was also stored
in the same room q valuable library of some
two thousand volumes, belonging to a gen
tleman now in Europe, this being supposed to
be safe place Of deposit. Recently
the discovery was made that the leaves had
been cut out Of these old ledgers and day
books, though the covers were found stand
ing in their former positions, and to casual
observer seemed to be all night. The "in-
sides" of the volumes in the gentleman's
library had also been removed IN the same
manner. Il lie supposed that the removed
leaves have found their way into the colIoc-
tions OF rAg-dcalcrs, and thence to the paper
mills. The perpetrators Of this most pro-
yokip- robbery are unknown.
