The ReIa lions betvV cen the Preside
and Gen. Grant

and Gen. Grant
NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-The Tribune's spe-
cial says: There has surely been quarrel
| OF some character to-day between the Pres
ident and General Grant, but the exact ma
ture of the matter is not publicly known,
Grant continuing his customary reticence
and johnson talking only to those who are
his friends, or. as he terms it, those who
support his policy. Itappeared that Grant
had a long interview with the President
and talked to him very plainly in regard
to their respective duties as Government
officers. 1t is given out as positive by
General Steedmen's friends that Grant will
be removed in a few days.
The Times, RepOrt-Grant to be Re
EL moved. -@.. tE-.
The Times special says: 1t is certain
the relations between the President and
General Grant are not as amicable as tbey
might be, and the formers most intimate
confidants assert tonight that Gen. Grant
will not be retained in the War Office be-
yond few days, the President having
found him too contumacious as a civil Off
GER. He will therefore avail himself of the
loop-hole that he is Grants superior, and
order him back to headquarters. AS to
who will succeed Grant, nothing positive
is known. Gen. Steedman, whose name has
been so freely mentioned, says he is not a
candidate for the position, and would not
accept it. r,
The Presidents Proclamation.
The Presidents proclamation is general
ly Interpreted here to mean a notice to
Gen. Grant and the military district COM
manders that Andrew johnson is Presi-
dent, and that the reconstruction laws must
be executed according to the Johnsonian
Interpretation, on pain of executive dis
pleasure.
The Expected Amnesty Proclamation
The Tribune's special says: AS yet the
President has not given form to the expect
ed amnesty proclamation, nor has he deci-
ded upon its details. The subject has not
been formally considered in the Cabinet,
but it is probable it will be discussed at the
session of Friday next. 1t is certain John
son has determined on issuing a general
amnesty proclamation within short time
and unless he shall hereafter change his
purpose his proclamation will include all
who participated in the rebellion, save,
probably, from fifty to one hundred per-
sons, against whom criminal charges of a
heinous character are preferred, or cases
in which it is alleged that the usages of
warfare in civilized nations have been
grossly violated. b
The Amnesty Proclamation COnsid-'
cred in the Cabinet.
The Herald's special says the Amnesty
Proclamation was again under considera-
tion yesterday in the Cabinet. Secretary
Seward does not exactly concur with the
President, but it is stated that Grant and
all other members of the Cabinet'are in
perfect accord with him.
Grant and the War Office.
In regard to Grants acceptance of the
war Office, it is now stated as significant
fact that Stanton himself urged its accep-
tance upon him. 1
The Worlds Opinion of the Reported
nifficuitv harVuaen
and Grant.
The Worlds special says: The fact that
Gen. Grant had an important interview
with the President to-day has given the
sensationists an opportunity to fill the
city with rumors that sharp words were
exchanged over the promulgation of the
proclamation in to-day's papers, and on ac-
count of the orders directed to military
commanders last week by the General. AS
the President deprecates the practice of
some correspondents who publish private
conversations held with him, and as Gen.
Grant uniformly declines to speak of Of
ficial matters, there is pretty wide field for
the rumor mongers of this rumor-possess-
ed town. The most that can be said with
accuracy is that the President aud General
Grant still continue to differ somewhat
widely, but honorably and courteousIy,
over the questions arising in the enforce
ment of the reconstruction acts.
Reports from tho Indian Country.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 5.-Judge
Kinney, of the United States Special In
dian Commission, has Just arrived in this
city from Fort Phil. Kearnev, having been
absent six months in the discharge of his
official duties. About 5000 warriors, COM
posed of Sioux, Cheyennes and Arrapa-
hoes, are now concentrated north of Fort
Phil. Kearney, and demand as condition
of peace that soldiers be withdrawn from
the country. The posts are abandoned and
the roads to Virginia City given np, as the
country belongs to the Crow Indians, with
whom we are at peace. The demand. ifl
complied with, the Judge thinks, may sus-
pend, but will not settle the difficulty. HeI
apprehends the next demand will be to
suspend work upon the Pacific railroad, |
which is being built through the same
country without consent of the Indians.
Judge Kinney confirms the report of the |
attack on Major Powel's party on the %
August. and is of the opinion that there
were 1000 Indians, and that Major Powell
killed 200. Kinney thinks the defeat of the
Indians may open the way to a treaty of
peace, and that one more punishment like
that administered by Major Powell would
give us permanent peace.
Acting Indian Commissioner Mix re-
ceived the following:
OMAHA, Sept. 4. 1867.

eighty Indians, arrived at the North Platte
to-day. He is from the Northern hostile
camp.
