| The Cabinet, to-day, had before
them a complete record of the prov
ceedlngs between Generals Grant and
Slckles relative to the latterscourseii Id :
| North Carolina in interfering with
the process issued from a United
States Court. and; which eventually
led to SIckles prompt removal by the
President. This record it was decid-
| ed to publish, and it will be given out.
The correspondence, however, with
Grant, which is spicy and interesting,
will not be made at the same time, /
though 1T was read at to-day's meet /
ing. 1t appears from this that
when Gen. SicKles' military officers
prohibited the execution of civil
process from the United States Court.
the United States District Attorney
reported the fact to the Attorney
General. and Grant was informed of
it. Believing, at that time, he had
the power to annul or modify the or
ders from military commanders, Grant
telegraphed to Sickles to modify his
order No. 10, under which his subor-
dinates Obstructed the United States
Courts so as to obviate said OBJ
structions IA the future. io malr I
( General Sickles replied to Grant,
asking - that the iatter's J order !
might be held in obeyance un-
til he could explain by mall When
this explanation arrived, lit appear
ed to be plausible statement, show
ing that Order No. 10 protected the
people from summary execution for |
debt, and that it gave great satisfaction
to the States of North and South |
Carolina Gen. Grant thereupon tel
egraphs to Gen. Sickles the important |
fact. He withdraws his order to him |
to modify Order No. 10; thus leaving |
the latter in force Ae this remarkable |
stage of affairs the u. S. Marshal of |
North Carolina steps in again, and |
attempts to serve the civil process,
but is resisted by Mr.. Sickles by vir-
tue of the continuance in full effect
Of his order. These facts were re-
ported here when the executive d.
rected the United States District
Attorney to procure an Indictment |
against Daniel E. Sickles for a vio-
lation of the criminal laws of the
u. s. in resisting a u. S. Court.
General Sickles hearing of this, at
once telegraphed to General Grant in
a spirit of fierce denunciation in the
step, declaring that the Post Com
mander of the Military District, made
by an act of Congress, was not anne
nable to any Grand Jury or United
States Marshal or United States Dis
trict Attorney, and intimating that
he would answer no indictment
founded on that charge. It does not
appear that General Grant answered
this, but it does appear that the
President of the United States gave
an order last Monday which removed
Sickles, and thus vindicated the Ju-
dietary of the Government and se-i
cured the execution of a process
issued by the highest judicial Office
in the land. The full correspondence,
of which the above is an abstract, will
probably be made public In due time.
The Times special says efforts are
making to reinstate Governor
Welles, of Louisiana, but Grant has
power to prohibit it.
The Government is informed of
swindlers going about the country
representing themselves as officers of
the Government sent out to enable
discharged soldiers to obtain back
pay and bounty. zLhM -
