a. Opposiiion Meeting Of the
FinancIsI Military Change.
New Minister 20 Mexieo-A S"ro
from Judge HeIt-Gcneral @ran''
NV yopK. August l9.-The Times
NV NV ,o LIS sneeiai says: About thirty
' aS Of he bar of this city, who
h"II tbat the bar have no right to re-
no,u The the orders of the Court, have
;ssucd a call for meeting on Thursday
of next week, in opposition to the course
of the meeting held last week In the
interest of Bradley. These gentlemen
hold that members of the bar have no
business to interfere irregularly with
the orders of the Court, and that any
member so demeaning himself as to Sc
cure dismissal must rest his case upon
its own merits.
It is ascer tanned that Of the issue OF
Seven-Thirties which matured on the
18th inst, $3.50, 900, 900 have been con
yerted. leaving but $40, 900, 600 still cut
standing. These will probably DC o one
verted by the.timc the oxtenslo" VI uuo
month. given by the Secretary eApiieSIi
The Tribune's Washington sPecia,
o.xs. The President has prepared ana
cent TO General Grant Instructions W
issne an order assigning General Sherl-
dan IN the command of the Department
off the Missouri, General Hancock 10
the Department of the Cumberland,
and General Thomas to the Flfth, Sher-
dams military district. The order
probably will be promulgated to-Tor-
row. upless General Grant shall suggest
the substitution of some other names III
the places of Hancock and Thomas. In
that case Sheridan may he assigned TO
some other command than that OF MIS-
souri,, but certain it is, the order re-
lieves Sheridan from the command OF
his district 1t is understood that I'M
til Friday last it was the purpose OF the
President to assign Hancock to the COM
mand of the Fifth District, but he con-
cIuded Yesterday to give that position
to General Thomas.
The letter of General Pope To Cen
eral Grant has UccasiOncd good deal Oh
comment here and it is generally De-
lieyed the latter officer will order the
arrest of B. II. Hill and Othei dlscon'
tented persons. Under the recolstrnc,
tion bill he has right to do SO. 1t Will
be remembered that some time ago ueu'
eral Grant counselled the arrest of Gov
crnor Jenkins for doing exactly what
Hill is now guilty of. This strengthens
the opinion that Grant will act III mn
case as h. advised Pope 20 do IN Jeh-
kins'. 1.
Mr. Plumb, Secretary of Legation to
Mexico, who has been here for several
DAYS. Yesterday received authority
and instruction from the State Depart
ment to represent our Government al
the city of Mexico, and leaves here to-
morrow for that city. The recent com
mission of Mr.. Ottenburg to act as ouI
representative in Mexico is cancelled
and Mr.. Plumb succeeds him with fniI
| powers.
Judge Holt has written card whicn
will be published on Monday stating
that he did not furnish the afhdavlts
recently published; that they were not
on file in his office, and that his endorse
ment of the application for the pa:don
of Copoyer was made at his house as
private citizen, and had no connection
with the bureau of military justice, and
that il was not "a recommendation, ana
did not contain any expression of con
iidence in the integrity of Conover.
He concludes by saying: All aver
mcnts or iutimations, no matter by
whom made, ar however supported,
which seek tn connect me in any degree
or in any way with the alleged conspira-
CIV against the President, are wholly
false. as are all insinuations that in the
step took in concert with Mr.. Riddle
| either aimed or desired to quailfy
Conover ~ witness for any purpose
whatever.
The Worlds special says: General
Grant has urged the President to dismiss
every member of his Cabinet, IN order
to create harmony between MIR. Johnson
and his advisers. The General is known
to be particularly hostile to MIR. Seward,
whom he regards as too adrolt and dan
gerOus.
The Times special publishes the cor
respOndcnce between Generals Grant
Schpfield. Pope, Ord and Sheridan, i'll
which the former attirms the power OF
removal as existing Oh district com
manders and rcpublisbes the statement
that he disapprOved of its exercise Ill
the case of Governor Wells. He sug-
gests the conditions 10 using reglstra-
ton which arc at variance with the lax
notions of the Attorney General.
