Quarrel Between the President and
Gen. Grant.
Grant TO be Removed in a Few Dn, :.
The Expeeted. amnesty Proelap,asIon.

NEW York, Sept. 5.-The Tribune's
special SAYS: There has surely been Il
quarrel OF some character to-day be-
tween the President and Gen. Grant,
but the exact nature OF the matter ID
not publicly known-C3rant continuing
his customary reticence and Johnson
telling only those who are his friends,
or, as he terms it, those who suPpol
his policy. 1t appears that Grant had
"A long interview with the President and
talked very plainly in regard to their
respective duties as good officers.
1t is given out as positive by Gen.
SLeedman's friends that Grant will be
removed in a few days.
The Times special says, 1t is certain
that the relations between the President
and General Grant are not as amicable
as they might be, and the formers
most intimate contidants assert, to-
night, that General Grant will not be
retained in the War Office beyond a
few days, The President having found
him too contunaoious as n civil officer.
He will therefore avail himself of the
loop-hole that he is General Grants
superior, and order him back to Head
quarters. AS to who will succeed
General Grant nothing positive is
known. General Steedman, whose
name has been so freely mentioned,
says he is not candidate for the posi-
ton, and would not accept 1t.
The Presidents proclamation is gem
orally interpreted here TO mean mo-
tice to General Grant and the military
district commanders that Andrew
johnson is President, and that the re-
construction laws must be executed ac-
cording to the JohnsOnian interpreta-
ton, on pain of Executive displeasure.
The Tribune's special says: AS yet
the President has not given form to the
expected amnesty proclamation, nor
has he decided upon its details. The
subject has not been formally consider
ed III the cabinet, but 1t is probable II
will be discussed at the session of Fri
day next. 1t is certain Johnson has
determined on issuing a general amnes-
~ proclamation within short time,
and unless he shall prefer TO change his
purpose, his proclamation will include
all who participated in the rebellion,
save probably from fifty TO one hundred
persons against whom criminal charges
OF ii heLnous character are preferred,
or case in which II is alleged that the
Rsages of warfare in civilized nations
have been grossly violated.
The Worlds special says, the fact
that Gen. Grant had an important In
terview with the President to-day, has
given the sensationists an opportunity
to fill the city with TumOrs that sharp
words were exchanged over the pro-
mitigation of the proceedings in to-
days papers, ana on account OF the Or
der directed to the Military Comman-
ders, last week, by the General. As the
President deprecates the practice Of
some correspondents who publish the
private conversations held with him,
and as Gen. Grant universally declines
to speak of official matters, there is IA
pretty wide field for the rumor mon
gers OF this rumor passing city. The
most that can he said with accuracy is,
that the President and Gen. Grant still
continue to differ somewhat widely but
honestly and courteousiy over the
questions arising in the enforcement of
The reconstruction acts.
The Herald's special says: The Am-
nesty Proclamation was again under
consideration, yesterday, in the Cab
met. Secretary Seward does not exactly
concur with the President, but it is
stated that Grant and all the other
members of the Cabinet are in perfect
accord with him. In regard to Grants
acceptance ofthe War office, 1t is now
stated as u significant fact that Stanton
himself urged its acceptance upon him.
