WASHINGTON. Monday, Sept. 2, 1867.
The President is determined to relieve Howard, if
what he says on the matter can be believed He is
only waiting to find man to put in the place.
Gen. Pope can not be considered safe in his posi-
ton. The President gives out that he will surely
move him. When this occurs Binckleys services
will again be brought into requsition to make re-
port iustfying the President in making the removal
II is given out that Stanbery's lieutenant, Mr.
Buckley, is now engaged in preparing report on
the Presidents charges against Gems. Sheridan and
Howard similar to his report on Gen. sckles These
reports will be submitted to the Cabinet before beng
made public, and anything in the cases that may
injure Johnson will be suppressed, OF course
AprOpOs of Buckley since he has become so famous
expounder Of law and writer 1T is related here
that not a long while ago he made an editorial
write on The World and that the first and only edi
tora he wrote for that paper was rejected, and the
manuscript enclosed to his friend here who had re-
commended him, asking him if the writer was crazy.
1t is not likely that the President will give the
Sickles and Grant correspondence Grant will not
let it 20 to the public, claiming that he has no
authority to do so When Congress meets, however,
all these suppressed documents will be exbumed and
given to the country. This correspondence, and
Grants letter to johnson on the removal of Stanton
will probably be the first things called for on the
assembling of Congress.

from Louisiana and Texas, to petition Congress at
their next meeting to reinstate Gen. Sheridan in
command of the Fifth Military District They are

by impeaching the President.
