The Military Commanders.

By a law enacted at the last regular
session of Congress, it is provided that
neither of the commanders OF the nVe
military districts into which the Ins1r-
rectionary States are divided, snaii De
removed without the consent OF the Oen-
oral of the armies. Hence it will be seen
that the ordor issued by the President
on TIE 18th inst, removing Gen. Sheri-
don from the command OF the Fifth dis
tr;ct was imperative and void until the
consent of Gen. Grant was obtained. In
poine of law and fact the removal was
made by Gen. Grant, and not 'by the
President.
In his order removing Gen. Sheridan,
Gen. Grant especially directs his success
sor, Gen. Thomas, to continue to exc
cute all orders he may find in force in the
Fifth district at the time of assuming
command of it, unless authorized by the
General of the army to annul, alter or
modify them" This would seem, on the
face of it, to be conclusive evidence that
Gen. Grant approves of what Gen. Sherl-
dan has done, and consented to his dis
grace to please the President. If Gen.
Grant shall not feel constrained to speed
ily direct the annullment or material
modification of Gen. Shsridan's orders,
he will certainly stand exposed to the
censure of removing an officer for doing
his duty in the exercise of a sound judg-
ment.
Gen. Grant, was not assignable, by vir-
tue of his military rank, to the admins,
tration of the War Department. That
place is a purely civil appointment, to
which any citizen is eligible. There are
strong reasons of propriety why high
civil and military offices should not be
held simultaneously by the same indl-
vidual. In accepting tho post of Secre-
tary of War, Gen. Grant enabled the
President to do what he long sought to
accomplish, but in vain, that is, the re-
moval of Mr.. Stanton, and within week
after entering upon the duties of his new
appointment, he assented to the removal
of Gen. Sheridan, to prevent which Con-
gress had vested extraordinary discretion
in his hands.
This complication is unfortunate for
Gen. Grant and fer the loyal masses Of
the republic.

HORSE AND THIEF CAPTURED-On
Saturday morning as Mr.. Horace Hogle
was passing in the neighborhood of Mr..
VIM. 2. Joiner's, Southeast of Clark's
Corners, he discovered horse hitched
in the woods, and his suspicion was arou-
sed. Arriving at Mr.. Joiner's he met a
man. and enqlnred of him about the ow-
nership of the animal, and he claimed it
as his property, stating that he had hitch
ed il there in order to protect it from the
rain. Upon the return of MIR. III. and
party they found the horse, and after
searching for some time they met the
thief upon informing him that he was
their prisoner, he made for the woods,
but was overtaken, and taken to Con-
neautyille. where a formal warrant for

Base Bsll.

The two games at Jefferson, for which
we have been somewhat prepared by pre-
vious notice, to come off on the occasion
of the Fair, had their denoument on
Wednesday, and the result proved rath-
er a wayward one, perverse and distaste-
ful, as well to the heretofore almost uni
formly fortunate Buckeye players, as
well as their friends. We are compelled
to say that our pet club was beaten. Of
course, this result is not grateful to our
local pride, and we would find atiason
for 1t, in the bad condition of the ground,
and the want of proper acquaintance
with it, and so on, but though this, mode
of accounting for it is well enough for
the purpose of letting US down with less
suddenness and shock, it is not quite
satisfactory. We may as well, boys,
manfully and magnanimously admit the
fact, that score of SO to 80 was the re-
suit of good playing on the part of the
Jefferson boys. We are happy to learn,
that our boys are not disposed thus to
let their laurels fade upon their brows,
but at once, OIL the spot of their discom-
future, they challenged the victors to an
other contest, to be played upon the
grounds of the Buckeyes on Saturday
next-the 7tb. Another trial will better
enable us to judge of the relative quail
ties of the respective clubs. Let us pos
sess ourselves i'll patience, and bide the
result.
The second game was between the
Rock Greek and Conneaut clubs. Owing
to the shower, the game was not played
out, but at the time of leaving the ground
the tally stood % to 8, the Rock Creek
club being l3 ahead. So it would seem
that the Lake Shore is now here in these
trials, with their interior friends.

EFThe correspondence between Gen. Grant
and the President, relative to Sheridan's reno
val, has atlength been given to the public The
letter of Grant is brief, but extremely forciblc
and direct in its remonstrance. The President
replies at much length, arguing with pertinacity
and making several assertions of fact as to
which the country may for whilebe obstinate
Iy incredulous. The friends of Grant, whether
as General, -or as Secretary Of War, will find
nothing in this correspondence, on his part, to
regret.
EgThe crisis in the cabinet grows interesting.
Two of the Secretaries, McCulloch and Ran
dali, on the 26ih advised the President that
their portfolios were at his command at any mo-
ment. To this the President made no reply,
and many will consider his silence Significant.
Nothing has yet transpired relative to the o'a's
Department OF course the President must
soon signify either, once for all, his desire 70
retain these gentlemen around him, or MS gra-
cious acceptance of their patriotic offer to retire

ing between France and Prussia is con-
stantly increasing, and the prospects of
trouble grow stronger daily, despite the
reiterations of both countries that long
term of peace is expected. The late
meeting of the French and Austrian EN-
perors at Salzburg is looked upon with
suspicion, and it is now definitely stated
that defensive alliance has been made
between the two Powers. 1t is farther
stated, in Partisan dispatch of the 22d,
that the two Emperors have come to an
agreement that the South German States
be formed into Confederation, of which
Austria shall be the head, as Prussia is
