Gen Mower has taken measures to stop
rebel interference, through the ciyi, coartS,
with those parties in his district who icas-
ed abandoned plantations from the govefn-
inent during the war and have since been
engaged in cnltivating them. The Former
awncrs have instituted all sorts OF vexa-
tions salts to inva,idate the leases and get
posses sion of the growing crops. Gene
rad Mower. after examining one of these
eases. ina special order dated Oct. 5th sets
aside the proceeding. OF tho eoart, declares
them annnllcd aud ahrogated, and direc Is
that the lessrcs have absolute use and dis
position of the property.
General Seklcs' application for court
al inquiry was returned by the Pre- ident
u the War Department this morning,
with an endorsement declining to graft the
court. 1t is understood that Mr.. Johnson
refuses the request on the ground that
General Sickles had taken his case before
the bar OF public opinion by publishing his
arguments and the correspondence between
General Grant and himself, ana therefore
ID formal investigation could be OF no avail,

WASHINGTON Oct. Is
Great surprise is created in political cir
cles ly the announcement made last night,
by the President and It's publication this
morning. thata permanent appointment
would be made outright for the portfolio
OF the war office in the place OF Stanton
and not one dd interim. and that no rta-
sons would be given to the Senate for this
course, thereby ignoring entirely the ten
ure of office bill.
Also by the further statement that the
Cabinet maintains that said bill TO be I'M
constitutional. These announcements are
regarded as induces to the Presidents ID
ture action.
1t is known that Western politicians
now here have urged upon President John-
con this course, alleging that il woald nave
beneficial influence on the country, and
force Congress to confirm the appointm eat
on its assembling. especially IN view Of the
fact and announcement that pnd"r no con.
sideration would the President allow Stan
tOu to be removed.
