The President, in his campaign
against the radicals since the reno
val of Stanton, has increased both
their hatred and respect for him.
They are made to feel that he is,
at least a man of brains and energy.
His removal of Stanton was thought
to be bold movement. When this
was followed by the ejectmcnt of
Sheridan an Sickles, the Jacobins
thought the president was the pow
er to be feared rather than despised.
Then came the assumption that he
and not Gen. Grant was charged
with the execution of
the laws, and the victory over
Grant. Thus, in a few days the
president has met and vanquished

eral Americans were presented at
this drawing room, and of course by

They were very much admired; in

admit that American ladies indulge
in more elaborate dressing than we
do even at ceurt, and, though their
beauty is scarcely so durable as that
of our cold. northern, damp climate
bestows on our rountrywomen, in

The Times Washington special says: The
President has sent to Gen. Grant positive or
ders relieving Gen. Sheridan, which he di-
rected him to transmit. The. order relieves
Sheridan and orders him 20 command the
Department of Missouri in place of General
Hancock, who goes to the Department of
Tennessee to relieve Gen. Thomas, who has
been ordered to relieve Sheridan. This
Presidential order was received by General
Grant this morning and was positive in its
terms, leaving no alternative but compliance.
Nevertheless it is known that Gen. Grant
visited the President to- day and entered his
earnest protest against the movement, but the
President was immovable, and the order will
be transmitted with instructions through the
Adiutsnt Generals Office to.morrow. The
change Of Gen. Sheridan for Gen. Thomas
will not change the character Of the execu

hampered by new instructions.
There is no probability that the opposition
