ny TEtHsEArH TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Aug 20, 1867
At the meeting of the Washington Soldiers and
Sailors Union yesterday. which passed resolutions
denOuncing the action of the President n' suspend
ing Secretary Stanton the following resolution
offered
Resolred, That, appreciatng the supreme duty which
rests upon soldier OF promptly obeyng the lawful com
mands OF his superior officer, and looking upon the
sgnmeDt Of General Grant, Secretary OF War Gd interim
Chief of the Army and Nayy-not to be disregarded,
although dsapproved without insFoordlnatioll-we
ndOrse Gen. Grants action in the premises, and con.
gratulate the country having as the successor OF
stanton one who is his proved friend faithful supporter
and unqualified lndorser.
An animated debate sprung up over tins resolu-
tion, motion being made to strike it out. 1t was
maintained that as no one knew how Grant stood
politically it would not do to indorse him. His
present course in accepting StantOn's place one
calculated to cause doubt as to his being the friend
of the soldier and had the appearance Of his being
in sympathy with the President. The resolution
was then stricken out
A large meeting of members of the bar was held
to-day to denounce the action of the previous body
in reviewing the decision Of Judge Fisher in dis
missing Mr. Bradley. The Hon. f. p. Stanton pre-
sided. Among the resolutions adopted was the fol-
lowing:
Resolued That the rights and privileges OF the bar
should be at all times properly mantained but u IS
grave regard them Independent absolute or
to presume that they be upheld by austery OF de-
me9nOr or by personal vtuperatOn or physical violence
Their best and only true support Will be found in the firm
of moral courage in the dignity Of cultured minds,
and in the decOrum Of refined and cultivated manners
Nor will wise use Of these means fail lhe
OF courts, and alterations COLLISIONS
between the bench and the bar
An evening paper Of this city says that some time
ago the President offered the COInmissiOnership Of
the Freedmen's Bureau to John NJ Langston, a col
ored lawyer of Oberlin, Ohio, in place of Gen. o. O.
Howard, who was 30 be removed. This may be true,
for lately Mr. johnson has expressed great amount
of affection for Mr.. LangstOn, without its being Te
cprocated in the least This is the second Offer for
it is well known that Mr.. johnson has offered Mr.
Langston the position of Minister to Hayt
1t is the intention of Gen Grant, Acting Secretary
Of War, to eurtail the expense of the War Depart
ment fast as possible Alarge number of buildings
in the neighborhOod Of the Department now rented
by the Government will be given up soon as the
papers and records be transferred to the Depart
ment About fifty clerks will be dismissed on
account of the scarcity of work. One or two build

being room enough in the Department to accOmmo-
date all the force.
