The President ehas issued official order
removing Gen. Sicklcs from the command of
the Second Military District, and appointing
Major General f. X. Candy in his place.
The President, in the order, directs Gen.
Grant to make future disposition of Gen.
Sickles, and Gen. Candy is required to assume
immediate command. There is something
rather curious in the relations of the admin
istration and General Sicklcs. On Gen
Grants accession to the War Office instruc-
tions were issued by him to Gen. Sickles not
to interfere with the process of the courts of
the United States. 1t is reported that Gen
Sickles protested against the enforcement of
this order because instructions had been
issued from the Attorney Generals Office
directing the prosecution of all parties who
might obstruct the enforcement of the
process Of the United States Courts
BE this as it may, the instructions were
withdrawn and the Government stands in the
anomalous position of preventing the cxecu-
ton of the process OF the Judiciary through
1 the action of a military subordinate in oppo-
sition to the known will of the Commander
| in-Chicf in dcrogltion of the authority of
the circuit court of the United States. and in
