him, but had been prepared las heretofore SHOWN
by General Grants and Mr.. Stanton's testimony
for Mr.. Lincoln by Mr.. Stanton, his Secretary OF
War, and its introduction and approval were the
first business transacted in cabinet after Mr.. Johne
son became President. As a difference of policy
between Congress and the President became sub
seouently developed, several members OF the
Cabinet, finding themselves i'll sympathy with
Congress, res, med, parting, however, with the
President with mutual respect. Ibis was in 1866.
The President adds
THE subsequent sessions of Congress develop
ed new complications when the suffrage bill for the
District of Columbia and the reconstruction acts
of March 2 and March IS, 1867, all rassed over the
veto. 1t was il cabinet consultations upon these
bills that a dlnerelce of opinion upon the most
vital points was developed. Upon these questions
there vas perfect accord between all the members
of the Cabinet and myself except Mr.. Stanton. he
stood alone, and the difference of opinion could not
be reconciled. That unity Of opinion which, upon
great questions OF public policy or administration
Is so essent al 10 the Executive, IS gone.
Il do not claim that a head of department should
have no other opinions than those OF the Presi-
dent. de has the same right, IN the conscientious
discharge OF duty, to entertain and express his
own opinions as has the President. What DO
claim is that the President is the responsible mead
of the administration, and when the OPINIONS o. 4
head QCpartment are lrlecOnCla NlY ODpOSeu w
those of the President, i'll grave matters or policy
and administration, there is but one result which
can solve the difficulty, and that is a severance OF
the ofic.a al relation. This, in the past history OF
the government, has always been the rule, snd 1t
is q wise one; for such differences OF opinion amcng
its members must impair t1e efficiency OF any adj
ministratlon."
The President next refers to the well-known fact
of Mr.. Stanton not having acted upon or commu
nicated to him the dispatch from General Baird,
received prior to the New Orleans riots, as o spe-
cial ground of delinquency. The President knew
nothing of it's existence until ten days after 1t
came into Mr.. Stanton's hands, and not until after
the riot, which, the President believes, would
have been averted if the Secretary OF War, had
given General Baird proper instructions as de-
sired.
In conclusion, the President remarks that, un-
pleasant as this necessary change in his Cabinet
has been to him upon personal considerations, he
has the consolation to be assured that, SO lar as
the public interests are concerned, there is NO
cause for regret, s%alutary reforms having been In
troduced by the Secretary ad interim and great re-
duction of expenses, to the saving OF millions to
tho treasury.
