sion.

tFrom the Springfield Mass.) Republican,
With caution extraordinary for him. the
President did not undertake the removal OF
Mi. Stanton. although the members of the Cab
met generally agreed that he has fu powers TO
rcinove. but cenieatcd himself with snspt n
sion. which Is clearly authorized by the Ten
ure Of Office bill.
From The Syracuse Journal.
There ia surprise manifested In some quar-
, ters that Gen. Grant should be willing to ae-
cent the Presidents appointed 10 the temporal
nv ch rye Of the War Department. under the
peculiar circumstances of Mr.. Stantons SIS
pension. 1t ha, been plain for some days that
the President would not retain Mr.. Stanton in
his Cabinet, and that he would sCruple at moth
lug II get him out of the way. Nhea the
President at last issued lis order suspcnding
the SECRETARY, and then assigned Gen. Graut to
the position, there MAS nothing for the General
to do but accept the commission.
