The Tribune's special says, the Presi-
dent has prepared and sept TO General
Grant instructions to issue an order as
signing General Sheridan to the COM
mand OF the Department OF Missouri,
General Hancock TO the Department OF
the Cumberland, and General Thomas
10 the Filth (Sheridan's) Military Dis
trict. The order probably will be pro-
mulgated Tomorrow, unless General
Grant shall suggest the Substitution OF
some other names In the place OF Cen
erals Hancock and Thomas In that
case General Sheridan may be assigned
to some other command than that of
Missouri, but certain it Is that
the order relieves General Shert-
dan from the command of his district.
1t is understood that, until Friday last,
IL was the purpose of the President TO
assign General Hancock 10 the COM
mand OF the Fifth District, but he con-
to General Thomas.
The letter of General Pope to General
Grant has occaSioned u good deal OF
comment here, and it is generally be-

contented persons. Under the Recon-
struction bill he has right to do 30. 1t
will be remembered that some time ago
General Grant Counseled the arrest OF
Governor Jenkins, for doing exactly
what Hill is now guilty Of This
strengthens the opinion that Grant Will
act in Hills case as he advised Pope to
do in Jenkins.

house as private citizen and had no
connection with the bureau of military
Justice, and that 1t was not recon-
