washinston Correspondence.

c, - - NEW YORK, Aug. ~.
The Herald has the following: 1.-THE truth
In regard to the various rumors afloat relative
to the refusal and the rupture between Gen.
Grant and the President, is that the two are on
most friendly terms and that Grant has not Of
fered nor the President asked him to resign his
office of Secretary Gd interim. The General,
it is true, did protest against the removal OF
Gen. Sheridan the ground for the protest be-
ing that it would be unjust to remove General
Hancock to New Orleans while the yellow fe-
yer was raging there.
He also suggested that he alone was empow-
cred to control matters in the Southern De-
partments, but after a lengthy interview with
the President, which was conducted in most
friendly and unimpassioned manner, he asked
permission to withdraw his protest, which was
granted. The President in this conversation
confessed that Congress invested Grant with
the control of the Southern districts but con-
tended that his powers were necessarily sub
ject to the supervision of the supreme execu-
tive head. The General without venturng to
offer any refuting argument, assented to the n
Presidents views.

The Chronicle says in the authority of the

vate instructions have been issued that no
freedmen will be allowed to take seats in the
approaching convention. Gen. Pope, in an
swer TO q letter on the subject, states that no
conservation of circumstances could induce
him to interfere with the general business of
the State or the relations of debtor or creditor.
The only orders issued OF to be issued are such
as are considered necessary to the execution of
the reconstruction acts and do not warrant
violent changes in the ordinary course of civil
business. People must look Tor relief to the
State conventions. He does not consider such
matters. within his jurisdiction to adjust.
Gov Orr was to deliver speech at Bolton
to-day, in which he would advise the people to
register and vote for convention, being salts
fed that the attitude of the negro in the con-
