Nav York, Jan. "A special from

case Of Secretary Stanton has been
completed. Senator Howard will lay il b..
fore The Senate on Monday. provided the
executive session IA held. Mr. Stantan has
made very clear case and the report will
fally cXDneratc him from all the charges
made against him by the President in his
message. Ii Will also throw much light
upon the secre, action OF the President on
many questions heretofore enshrouded in
deep mystery. An Intimate friend of MIR
Stanton says TINT there is no doubt but
when the report is rad lclorc the Senate
there Will not Ne " single Re uhican vote
AGAINST Mr.. Stanton's reinstatement. Many
lndical Senator'S are privately urging Mr..
stanton not ~ Immediately tender his res
ignation 10 The President when reinstated,
but to return t. the War Department to
relieve General Grant.
II is stated BY p,rsons who claim TO be
well Informed in regard to General Grants
idea on this subject, that tie latter will, IN
casc the Senate sustains Mr.. Stanton, i'm
N, diatcly retire from the War Office, as
Stunning that the law toibids him to pursue
any other course. This, il is expected will be
done, even in case the President should
order him to remain. stanton. it seems, has
no intention To assume the duties OF the War
ofiiee, permanently. after being reinstated,
for he would then be ia direct and constant
ilct with The President; but will m.ekly
remain few days to show that his action
81 far is approved by the country, and see
what action the President will take.
