TnE irrepressibIe BinckIey appears before
the public again to-day with garbled state
ment of the reasons which led to the removal
of General Sickles. This statement is only

gument 70 sustain his course.
The recent order of General Grant that
s'district commanders will make no appoint
meuts to civil Office Of persons who have
been removed by themselves or their prede-
cessors iu command, does not make a new
issue between General Grant and the Presi-
dent There is good authority for asserting
that the rumors of difficulties having arisen

The disposition to remove Gen. Howard
from the post where he has accomplished so
much good as head OF the Freedmen Bureau
is one of the most significant and unfortunate
drew Johnson. The rare combination Of
qualities which preeminently qualify him for
that station has enabled him IN dischsrging
his duties TO render invaluable services to the |
colored race aud to the country at large. To !
remove him would be an act of wanton vic <
edness and cruelty, of which only an insen- |
safe despot could be guilty.
The pretence of Andrew johnson that the |
removal Of Sheridan and Sickles is necessary |
to insure proper execution of the military |
reconstruction bill is one of the baldest I'M !
postures of the age. His repeated avowsls |
Of hostility to that measure, his attempts TO
defeat its passage, and subsequent efforts to
distort its meaning have clearly shown that |
he was opposed to the law; and the entire |
public clearly understand that he opposes the |
execution satisfactory to its friends simply |
because Sheridan and Sickles have faithfully |
with the wishes Of Congress.
IT is stated that Gordon Granger, a White.
House military politician, who was confirmed /
by the Senate some time since as a colonel in |
the army, but who has done no duty since the |
close of the war, beyond swinging around |
the circle" and advising President Johnson |
to persist in reinstating the dethroned rebels |
of the South, will soon be assigned to regular |
soldier duty, or be compelled to resign his |
position. General Grant 10 understood to
have become thoroughly disgusted with his |
course recently, as he used to be with hospit- |
al bummers who played sick to shun duty |
during the war.
COMMISSIONER R0LNs.-The removal Of |
Commissioner Rollins, Of the Internal Rev |
anue Department, seems to be the chief OBJ |
ect of the professional politicians who have
the ear Of the President There is just one
interest that would be promoted by the re-
moval of this faithful officer, and that is the |
interest of fraud on the revenue in connec- |
lion with distilled spirits In Commissioner |
Rollins the peGured plunderers who are
looding the country with untaxed whiskey |
have found vigilant and relentless enemy, |
and it is from them that this effort for his |
removal comes. We trust that for the sake |
Of the revenue, they may be unsuccessful.
