\ President and GEN. Grant = The
Amnesty Proclamation. ll-5
aTNEw YORK, Sept 5.-The Tribune's
] special of last night saws: There has surely
been quarrel of some character to-day
between the President and Gen. Grant, but
the exact nature of the matter is not pub
licly known. Gen. Grant is continuing his
customary reticence, and johnson telling
only those who are his friends, or as he
terms II, those who support his policy. II
/ is rumored that Gen. Grant had long in
terview with the President, and talked to
| him very plainly In reference TO their re-
| spectiTe duties as government officers 1t is
given out as positive, by Gen. Steedman's
friends, that Gen. Grant will be removed
in a few days. .3F-u WA sA
The Times special of last night says
1t is certain the relations between the Presi-
dent and Gen. Grant, are not as amicable
as they might be, and the formers most
intimate eonfdants asseFtte-night that Gen.
4 Grant will not be retained in the War
office beyond few days. The President
having found him too contumacious as a
civil officer, he will therefore avail himself
of the loop~hole, that he is Gen. Grants
superior and order him back to head
quarters. As to who will succeed Gen.
Grant nothing positive is known. Gen.
Steedman, whose name has been so freely
mentioned, says he is not candidate for
that position and would not accept it.
The Presidents proclamation is gen
orally interpreted here to mean a notice to
Gen. Grant and the military district COM
manders, that Andrew johnson is Presi-
dent, and that the reconstruction laws
must be executed according to the John
sonian Interpretation on pain of Executive
displeasure.
The Tribune's special says: As vet the
President has not given form to the
expected amnesty proclamation, nor has
be decided upon its details. The subject
has not been finally considered in the
Cabinet, but it is probable it will be dis
cussed al the session of Friday next. 1t is
certain that johnson has determined on is
suing general amnesty proclamatin with
in short time and unless he will hereaf-
ter change his purpose, his proclamation
will include all who participated in the re-
bellion, probably, except fifty or sixty per-
sons, against whom charges of a heinous
character have been preferred, or cases in
which it is alleged that the usages of war
fare have been grossly violated
The Worlds special says The fact that
Gen. Grant had an important interview
with the President has given the sensation
lists an opportunity to ill the city with
rumors that sharp words were exchanged
over the PRONUNCIATION of the proclamation
in to days papers, and on account of the
order directed to the military commanders
last week by the General. As the Presi-
dent deprecates the practice of some cor
respondents who publish private converse
tons held with him, and as Gen. Grant
uniformly declines to speak of official mat
tiers, there is a pretty wide field for the
rumor -mongers. The most that can be
said with accuracy is, that the President
and General Grant still continue to differ
somewhat widely, but honestly and cour-
teously, over the questions arising in the
enforcement of the reconstruction act.
The Herald's special says the amnesty
proclamation was again under considera-
ton yesterday in the Cabinet Secretary
Seward does not exactly concur with the
President, but it is stated that Grant and
all other members Of the Cabinet are in
perfect accord with him. In regard to
Grants acceptance CT the war Office, il is
