Correspondence Between Gems. Grant,

The President Urged 10 Dismiss His
Cabinet. #tt
New YORK, August 19.-The Times
publishes correspondence between Gems.
Grant, Schofeld, Pope, Ord and Sheridan,
in which the former sfhrms the power of
removal as existing in the district com
manders, and repudiates the statement that
be disapproyed of its exercise in the case
Of GOV. Wells. He suggests conditions
touching the registration which are at va
rance with the tax notions of the Attor-
ney General. -
The Times special says about thirty
members of the bar of Washington, who
hold that the bar have no right to review
the orders of the court have united ia
a call for meeting Tuesday, in opposi-
tion to the course of the meeting held last
week in the interest of Bradley. These
gentlemen hold that the members of the
bar have no business to interfere irregular
ly with the orders of the court, and that
any member 80 demeaning himself..as to
secure dismissal, must rest his case upon
its own merits. ~ .f-a t- r.
1t is understood that Of the issue of Z
switch matured on the 10Th inst, $780,
100000 have been converted, leaving but
S20, 100000 still outstanding. These will
probably all be converted by the time the
ext<asion of one month, given by The Sec
retary, expires
The Tribune's special says the President
has prepared and sent to Gen. Grant in
structions to issue an order assigning to
Gen. Sheridan to the command Of the De-
partment of Missouri, Gen. Hancock to
the Department of the Cumberland, and
Gen. Thomas to the 9th, Sheridan's mill
tary district The order probably will be
promulgated Monday unless Gen. Grant
shall suggest the substitution of some other
names in place of Haneock's and Thomas.
In that case Sheridan may be assigned to
some other command than that of Missouri,
but certain it is the order relieves Sheridan
from the command of his district. 1t is
understood that until Friday last it was
the purpose of the President to assign Han
cock to the command of the 5th District,
but he concluded yesterday to give that
position to Gen. Thomas The letter of
Gen. Pope to Gen. Grant has oceasioned
good deal of comment here, and it is gen.
orally believed the latter officer will order
the arrest of B. H. Hill and other
discontented persons. Under the recon-
struction bill he has right to do so. 1t
will be remembered that some time ago
Grant counseled the arrest ofGov. jenkins
for doing exactly what Hill is now guilty
of This strengthens the opinion that
Grant will act in HilPs case as he advised
Pope to do in Jenkins.
Mr.. Plumb, Secretary of Legation to
Mexico, who has been here for several
days, yesterday received authority and
instructions to represent our government
at the City of Mexico, and leaves here to-
morrow for that city. The recent com
mission of Mr.. Ottenburg to act as our
representative in Mexico is cancelled, and
Mr.. Plumb succeeds him, with powers in
the nature of Charge dAffairs.
Judge Holt has written card, which
will be published on Monday, stating he
did not furnish the afidavits recently pub
lished that they were not on file in his
office; that his Endorsement of the applica-
tion for the pardon of Conoyer was made
at his house as a private citizen, and had
no connection with the bureau of military
Justice that it was not a recommends
tion and did not contain any express
sion of confidence in the integrity
of Conover. He closes by saying
all averments limitations, no matter by
whom made, or however supported, which
! seek to connect me in any degree or in any
way with the alleged conspiracy against
the President are wholly false, as are all
| insinuations that the step took in concert
with Mr.. Riddle, either aimed or desired
to qualify Conover as a witness for any pur-
pose whatever.
The Worlds special says Gen. Grant has
urged the President to dismiss ever mem
Der of his Cabinet, in order to create har-
mony between Mr.. johnson and his advi-
sers. The General is known to be particu-
larly hostile TO Mr.. Seward, whom he re-
CARDS as too adroit and dangerous.
