OF stnnton-why ehcridan was he.
moved, Eto.
.Nrw YORK, August 24.-The wash
ington correspondent Of the Boston fos1,
in an account Of 8 conversation with the
President, says:s The President re-
marked that at one time Grant strongly
intimated that unless Stanton was re-
moved he should be compelled to leave,
as ,he could be of NO possible use In
view of Stantou's overawing dictatorial
conduct. The President advised MN 10
have q talk with the Secretary OF war
and perhaps they would understand each
other better. he agreed, however, with
General Grant, that Stanton ougntto
be removed, and inquired Of Grant II ne
would take charge Of the Department
in the event Of . change. The latter
promptly expressed his willingness 70 DO
so. I referred to the rumor that Cen
eral Grant had protested against the re-
moval. The President frankly said that
such was the case ; that General Grant
had written him o very kind but earnest
note, in which be intimated fears Of
anarchy, If not revolution, should Stan
ton be superseded yet, as he could not
appreciate the Generals fears, he had
directed the change.
The same correspondent states that
| the President said Sheridan was removed
because Of his disrespectful telegram of
June 90, and for the exercise of powers
he did not possess, andthe exercise OF
| his legitimate powers in an arbitrary
and offensive manner. He said the re-
moval of Governor Wells was entirely
| uncalled for and unjustifable. On the
other hand, Sheridan had ~endeavored
to execute the law o. o partisan-7had
adopted Radicalism 40 the only true test
of.loyalty, and his sole purpose seemed
to be to secure negro supremacy and de-
grade the whites. For such conduct |
deemed it my duty to relieve him from
| that command. f,AA

WASHINGTON, August 24.-Commis-
sioner of Indian Affairs Taylor has re-
turned on private business, but will re-
Join the Indian Commissioners in a few
days. If the commission cannot fully
consummate their purposes in harmon
izing all difficulties, they will endeaYor
to separate the peaceful from the hostile
Indians and place the former on reser-
vations under the Government. Gen

are, but is doing all in his power to as
| sist them to accomplish their purposes.
A dispatch from Sheridan, dated New
Orleans, August 10th, says: The yellow
fever has abated but very little. At
Galveston it interferes to some extent
with tho public service, from the STAN
pede and flight Of employees. In this
