Rumored Quarrel Between General
Grant and the President-GeHernl
steedmaa's Prospeets-The Presi
dents Proclamation Secretary sew
ard.
New YORK, September 5th-The Tn
bune's special says: There has surely
been a quarrel of some character to-day
between the President aud General
Grant, but the exact nature of the mat
ter is not publicly known. Grant con,
tinuing his customary reticenee and
johnson telling only those who are III:
friends, or as he terms it, those who
support his policy. 1t appears that
Grant had long interview with che
President and talked to him very plain
ly in regard to their respective duties a:
good officers. 1t is given out as posi-
tive by General Steedman's friends that
Grant will be removed i'll few days
The Times special says: 1t is certain
the relations between the President and
General Grant are not as amiable a.
They might be, and the formers most IN
innate confidants assert tonight thai
General Grant will not be retained II
the War Office beyond a few days, the
President having found him too cOntu
macious as n civil officer. He will, there
fore, avail himself of the loop hole thai
he is GRANTS superior, and order him
back to headquarters. As to who viii
succeed Grant nothing positive il
known. General Stccdman, whose name
has been so freely mentioned, says he Is
not a candidate for the position, and
would not accept it.
The Presidents proclamation is gen
orally interpreted here to mean notice
TO General Grant aud the military dis
trict commanders that Andrew Johnson
is President, and that the reconstruc-
ton laws must he executed according
to the Johnsonian Interpretation OH
pain of Executive displeasure.
The Tribune's special says: AS yet
the President has not given form To the
expected amnesty proclamation, non
has he decided upon its details. The
subject has not been formally considered
in the Cabinet, but it is probable that
it will be discussed ut the session OF
Friday next. 1t is certain that John.
son has determined on issuing general
amnesty proclamation within n short
time, and unless he shall prefer TO
change his purpose his proclamation
will include all who participated III he
rebellion, save 80 to 100 persons, against
whom criminal charges of serious
character are preferred or cases i'll which
it is alleged that the usagcs of warfare
in civilized nations have been grossly
violated.
The Worlds special says: The fact
that General Grant had an important
interview with the President to-day has
given the sensationists an opportunity
to fill the city with rumors that sharp
words were exchanged over the pro-
mitigation of the proceedings in to-day's
papers and OH account of the order di-
rected to military commanders last
week by the General. As the President
deprecates the practice of some cores
pondents who publish private CONVEX
sations held with him, and rs General
Grant universally declines to speak OF
official matters, there is u pretty wide
field for the rumor mOngers of this ru-
NOR. pressing town. The most that can
be said with accuracy is that the Presi-
ident and General Grant still continue
TO differ somewhat widely but honestly
and courteously over the questions
arising in the enforcement of the recon-
struction acts.
The Herald's special says: The am
nesty proclamation was again under
consideration yesterday i'll the Cabinet.
Secretary Sdwara does not exactly agree
with the President, but it is stated that
Grant and all other members of the
Cabinet are in perfect accord.
In regard to Grants acceptance Of the
War Office, it is now stated rs a siguiti-
cant fact that Stanton himself urged
its &C ceptance upon him.
