The delegates to the recent Republican Conyen-

the lives of Union men are in constant jeopardy,

WASHINGTON, D. c., August l, 1851.

HEApo'gs ARMIES OF TIE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON, D. c., August l. 1857.
His Ercellency 4. Johnson, President Of
the United States:
Sir,-I take the liberty of addressing
you privately on the subject Of the con-
versation we had this morning, feeling as
do the great danger to the welfare Of the
country should you carry out the designs
then expressed. First, on the subject Of
the displacement of the Secretary Of War.
His removal cannot be effected against his
will without the consent Of the Senate. 1t
is but short time since the United States
Senate was in session, and why not then
have asked for his removal, if it was de-
sired. 1t certainly was the intention OF
the legislative branch of the Government
to place the Cabinet Ministers beyond the
power of Executive removal, and 1T is
pretty well understood that, so far as
Cabinet Ministers are affected by the
tenure-ofoflice bill, it was intended
specially to protect the Secretary
of War, in whom the country felt
great confidence. The meaning Of the
law may be explained away by an
astute lawyer, but common sense and the
views of the loyal people will give to it
the effect intended by its trainers. Sc
cond, on the subject Of the removal OF
the very able commander Of the Fifth
Military District, let me ask you to consi-
der the effect it would have upon the
public. He is universally and deservedly
beloved by the people who sustained this
Government through its trials, and feared
by those who would still be enemies OF
II fal 70 lot of
few men to do as much against an armed
enemy as General Sheridan did during the
rebellion, and it is within the scope OF the
ability Of but few in this or any other
country to do what he has done. His civil
administration has given equal satlstac-
ton. He has had difficulties to contend
with which no other district commander
has encountered. Almost, if not quite,
from the day he was appointed district
commander to the present time the press
has given out that he was to be removed
that the Administration was dissatisfied
with him, &c.
This has emboldened the opponents to
the laws of Congress within his command
to oppose him in every way in their power,
and has rendered necessary measures
which otherwise might never have been
required.
In conclusion, allow me to say, as a
friend desiring peace and quiet, the wei,
fare of the whole country, North and
South, that it is, in my opinion, more than
the loyal people of this country Il mean
those who supported the Government
during the great rebellion) will quietly
submit to, to see the very men, of all
others, in whom they have expressed COP
tidence removed. l would not have taken
the liberty of addressing the Executive OF
the United States thus but for the CONVEX
sation on the subject alluded to in this
letter, and from sense of duty, feeling
that 1 know am right in this matter.
With great respect, your obedient SER
want q. S. GRANT, General.

Sominations-Th Veto Of the District Bill
" hat is Thought of the Presidents Message
Recommending Public Recognition or Han.
cocks Conduct-The Resignation OF the Com.
missioner Of Patents-Thc Case OF Lusk.
Special telegram to the Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, December lS.-The fol
lowing postmasters were nominated TO-
day: David Il. johnson, Griffin, Ga.
George ". Tabler, Martinsburg, W. Va.
The Presidents message vetoing the
District of Columbia bill, striking out the
word white in all laws, &C., will be brief
it is understood, and it is expected it will
be presented to Congress tomorrow.
The Presidents message recommending
some public recognition of General Han
cocks patriotic conduct, &C., is the theme
of conversation and remark tonight. By
decided Republicans it is condemned as
being en- expression of sympathy with and
appreciation of Hancock's so-called favor
itism for rebels. By the Conservatives and
decided Democrats the message is unqual-
ifedly applauded as well-timed, just, and
magnanimous. 1t is the judgment Of all
classes that by this public formal notice of
the conduct of General Hancock Mr.. john
son has placed the General prominently
in position as B Conservative candidate
for the Presidency in the election next fall.
This idea being suggested to Mr.. john
son tonight, he replied substantially that
if such is to be the result of his action to-
day he would be satisfied, and that if the
people should feel disposed to reward
General Hancock for his patriotic conduct
and states manlike qualities none would
more heartily endorse their choice on such
grounds than himself.
The official notification Of the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Thacker as Commissioner OF
Patents was filed with the Executive day
before yesterday. 1t is possible the resig-
nation may not be accepted; but if &C
cepted new Commissioner will probably
not be appointed until the middle of next
month. Already there are seven appli-
cants for the position, and about twenty
more threatened.
The case Of Lusk has not yet been de-
cided by the Executive. The matter is
not before him upon question Of facts,
but solely upon the legal points raised by
defendants counsel. The case will un.
doubtedly be turned over to the civil
courts for trial, on the ground that these
courts are the only competent tribunals tc
try tho facts, and that the military com
mission had no jurisdiction over the mat
ter.

rible explosion occurred at Newcastle-on-
Tyne to-day. The authorities last night
received information that quantity of
glonoin or nitro-glycerine had been Sc
creted in that place, it was supposed by
some Fenians. The sheriff and town sur
veyor, with large squad of policemen,
proceeded to the spot, and discovered the
oil packed in the usual manner. While
the men were removing it the substance
exploded with tremendous defamation.
Several policemen were instantly killed,
and few escaped injury. The men who
were nearest to the packages Of glonoin
were blown to atoms. Both the sheriff
and the surveyor were badly hurt, and are
lying in critical condition.
