The Times special publishes the corre-
spondence between Gems. Grant, Scho6eld,
Pope and Sheridan, in which the former af-
firms the power Of removal as existing in the
District Commanders, and repudiates the
| statement that he disapproved Of its exercise
in the case of Governor Wells. He suggests
conditions touching registration which are at
variance with the tax notions of the Attorney
General.
The Times special says: About thirty
members of the bar Of this city, who hold
that the bar have no right to review the or
ders Of the Court. have united in Q call for
meeting Tuesday Of next week, in opposition
to the course of the meeting held last week
in tho interest of Bradley. These gentlemen
hold bat members of the bar have no busl-
ness 70 interfere irregularly with the orders
Of thb Court, and that any member so de-
meaning himself as to secure dismissal must
rest his case upon its own merits.

which matured on the 10th inst, $3.50, ,O00,.

bly, all be converted by the time the extcn.

The Iribune's special says: The Presi>
dent has prepared and sent to Gen. Grant
Instructions TO issue an order assigning Gen.
Sheridan to command the Department Of
Missouri; Gen. Hancock to the Department
of the Cumberland Gen. Thomas to the 5th
II 3Sheridan' Military District. The order
will probably be promulgated to>morrow.
It is understood that until Friday last it was
the purpose of the President to assign Ham
cock to command the Fifth District, but he
concluded yesterday to give that position to
Gen. Thomas.
The letter of Gen. Pope to Gen. Grant
has occasioned good deal of comment here,
and it is generally be ieved the latter officer
distrusted persons. Under the reconstruction
bill he has the right to do SO. Some time
ago Gen. Grant counseled the arrest of Gen.
Jenkins for doing exactly what Hill is now
guilty. This strengthens the opinion that
Grant will act in Hills case as he advised
Pope to do in the case of Jenkins.
Mr.. Plumb, Secretary of Legation TO Mex
leo, who has been here for several days yes
terday received authorization and instruc-
tons from the State Department to represent

don Of Conover was made at his house as a
private citizen. and had no connection with
the Bureau Of Military Justice; that it was
not Recommendations and did not contain any
expression Of confidence In the integrity of

avermenis, or ntimations, no matter by whom
made, or however supported, which seeks to
convict me, in any degree, or in any way
with the alleged conspiracy against the Pres

ever.
The Worlds Washington special SAYS:
General Grant has urged the President to
dismiss every member of his Cabinet, in or,
der to create harmony between Mr. johnson
and his advisers. The General is known to
be particularly hostile to Mr.. Seward, whom
he regards as too adroit and dangerous.
