Removal of Genera, Sickles.

The telegraph informs us OF the assign
ment of Major General CANBY 10 the com
mand of the Second Military District, con-
sistinc of the States of North and South
Carolina. No reason for this change IS as
signed, and we are left in doubt as to the
immediate cause Of the removal % General
S1CKLEs. However, the reason may be
found, no doubt, in the excessive use Of
the authority which a corrupt and part1zan
Congress vested in him; and his harsn con
strlction Of the Reconstruction Acts, and
the differences existing between 1t an1 that
construction placed upon them by the adj
ministration through the Attorney General

The Joianso. Grant Correspondence.

We publish i'll this issue the recent cor
rasnondence of President JOHNSON and
General GEANr relative to the removal OF
General SHERIDAN from the command OF
the Fifth Military District. Ii will be seen
that General GRANT warmly opposed this
removal. and urged that " it is unmistaka-
bly, the expressed wish OF the people that
General SHERIDAN should not be removed, .
and remarks that % this is republic where
the will of the people is the law Of the
land" and begs " that their voice may be
heard"
To all the arguments submitted by Gen
eral GRANT in reference to this matter, the
President replies in clear, forcble anc
statesman-iike manner. The Executive il
placed in his position for a just and faith
| full execution of the laws, and has for hi!
guide the combined and expressed will O.
the people, the Constitution, upon which
the government rests. Why, then, should
the people be consulted when any cause
Of action shall arise Why should the Elk
ecutive consult them in every particular
when he has for his general guide thei
written will, the Constitution itself
President JOHNSON has seen that Genera
SHERIDAN is not q proper person for the pc
sition in which he was placed, and has
therefore, removed hin TO another com
mand. But, after all, we are unable to Sc
how the South will derive any materia
benefit from this removal, but, on the con
trary, greatly fear that it may work he
injury. The President has shown indie

printed in New York, in 2 roview Of the
cotton crop for 1866, as compared with the

sion may or may not prove true; bat one
thing we know, anu that is, greater efforts
have been mode, 1T least in the Carolinas,
for larger cotton crop this year than there
WAS made in 1856. Yet, the crop this yeal

The removal of Secretary STANTON from
the position which he had for so long I'M
worthily held was step on the part of the
Executive which was not wholly unexpect-
ed vet an exercise of frmness that gave
rise to surprise in some quarters. The re-
moval of General SHERIDAN of later date
was an action which caused more surprise,
and although frequently minated, was
less definitely expected than that OF the
Secretary of War, though mono the less
oladlv hailed. STATIONS removal soon
ceased to be a cause of wonderment ana

I'm this reconstruction programme the republi-
can narty as represented by Congress, has been
faithIess to its professions and its pledges ana IL
has betrayed the confidence and disappointed the
inst expectations of the loyal States. No such
dangerous and desperate party experiment as TINS
of Southern reconstruction on the basis OF South
ern negro supremacy was ever demanded by the
DonnIaT voice of the North, before OF since The
surrender OF Lee. But unless these existing re-
construction laws of Congress are reacheo through
Congress itself We fear that the Presldent gan
not divert them from negro supremacy without
bringing upon himself the fate OF stanton. HAat

preaching fall elections.
