Tennessee for the purpose OF sunnress;no
Brownlow's State guard; but he doesn,t soe
quite clearly how it can be done under the
Constitution without fequisition from tha
Governor. He thought however that it was
competent for him to station troops at Knox,
vile, Chattanooga and Nashville on recyuitino
service, and then if there was any outbreak.
they could suppress it. He regarded ths State
government of Tennessee as tie worst desuot.

And now, at the mention OF Gen. Sheridan's
name, the valves began to work freely, and
copious stream of denunciation followed. The
General had not given single reason ior the
removal Of Wells-had not shown hoao he i'm
peSed the execution Of the law. People We're
SO unreasonable as to hold tbathe (the Presi-
dent) had thrown obstacles in the way of re-
construction. "Thst's nonsense Ito mo sucb

But Sheridan will not be removed. Nothing
OF the kind will be attempted, and "if any of
the generals commanding in the South want
political promotions they must seek IL in some
other way tnan by trying to get the President
70 tfead On their coat tails. He won't do It."
The President spoke with great warmth and

At times his voice rose high enough for an an.
dience of fse hundred, though the corresnona-
ent was the OILY person in the room, and was
within two feet of him.
His Exeellency Was pleased TO treat the sui.
ject Of impeachment very lightly. He didn't
know or care who or what the witnesses before
the judiciary Committee were. He laughed
heartily with his engaging friend over some
"reminiscences of Mr.. Ashley. Here the hy-
draui'c' of the correspondent failed, and he
departed with an invitation to "call again"
and with strong conviction on his mind that
the President feels little vexedI "when he
