johnson vs. stanton.

It seems that Secretary Stanton has
become too much of an impeachment in
the way Of "My policy" and. his high
mightiness,. Andrew, has determined
to get rid Of him; ''peaceably II he can;
forcibly II he must.n Considerations
OF thigh character of which, his, Is
to be taken as an index, constrained
him to reluctantly say to Stanton that
he might 60. High considerations Of
public interest induced Secretary STAN
ton to stay at the head of his depart
ment and he has refused to resign.
Andrew, as might be expected, has
become little animated over this per-
picking matter, and has refused to
recognize Stanton longer as Secretary
Of War, and thus matters stand. It is
"pull dick, pull devil.p GsEalf
The course pursued by Secretary
Stanton rendered him, long since, OBJ
noxious TO the traitor Of the White
House, and would have resulted in
Stanton's removal had IL not been for
the restrictions of Congress. -.
Since writing the above. we learn
that Sec. Stanton has been suspended
from his office, end Gen. Grant has
been empowered to act as Secretary of
War, ad interim. As General Grant
has accepted, Secretary Stanton SUBJ
