The National Inteliigencer, Of the Sd
instant, has the following apparently
official hint Speaking Of the duty OF
the administration as to the issue pre-
scented by Congress, and declaring that
the majority of the States of the North
are resolved that the law of the Constitu-
ton shall be supreme over the law OF
Congress, the Intelligencer says:
1t may be thought unseemly, in the
midst of such deep wrongs, TO inquire
how it is that many of the Offices OF the
Government are filled with revolution
lists. Nevertheless, we submit this
inquiry; we submit it to the country; we
submit it to the officeholders we submit
it, in all earnestness, 10 the President OF
the United States. How is it, and to
what END, that the tens of thousands of
persons employed in the collection OF
the revenues and the management of the
finances, that fill the postofices, that
sneak to the courts, that execute the
laws. that rob the treasury of hundreds
of millions, are enemies of the Constitu-
tor and of the President, who has sworn
to preserve, protect and defend" it2
How is it that officials near the Presi-
dent, and officials far off his privy coun.
sellers, and nearly all connected with
the executive government, are open
enemies or doubtful friends ? Is the
issue not made up between the President
and the revolutionists Is there any
neutral ground between them that neu-
trail parties should be permitted to
occupy2
The President is epjoined to see that
the laws be faithfully executed. Can be
faithfully execute the laws or enforce
the civil power of the State, and yet yield
practical acquiescence or obedience to
an act which deprives him of all control
over persons in Office? Can he pre-
serve, protect and defend the Constitu-
ton" if abnegating his constitutional
duties as chief commander of the army
and navy, and of Executive over those
who are Immediately charged with the
execution of the laws2 The President
is the representative of the constitutional
principle. he has made the issue with
the revolutionists. We sustain him be-
cause he is right; and we fight under his
banner because it is the banner of the
Constitution. Let the camp be cleared
of neutralS, open enemies, and especially
Of spies.

The letter of the President Is accompa-

and the Postmaster General, supporting
his position.
wAsmsaros. February 10. 1905
His Excellenoy, Andrew johnson, President oil
the United States;
Sin: have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your communication OF the
10th instant, accompanied by statements
of five of the Cabinet Ministers OF them
recollection of what occurred in the Cab
met meeting on the l4th of January.
Without admitting anything contained
in these statements where they diiier
from anything heretofore stated by me,
/ propose to notice only that portion OF
your communication wherein l am
charged with insubordination. l think
II will be plain to the reader that, in my
letter Of the Both Of January, / did not
propose to disobey any legal order OF the
President distinctly given, but only to
give the Interpretation Of what would be
regarded as satisfactory evidence of the
Presidents sanction to orders communi-
Gated by the Secretary Of War. will say
here that your letter of the 10th instant
contains the first indication l have had
that you did not accept that iIterpreta-
ton now, for my reason for giving that
Interpretation was clear to me before my
letter of January 30th was written, that
the person having more public business
to transact with the Secretary of War
than any other of the Presidents subor-
dinates. was the only one who had been
instructed to disregard the authority OF
Mr.. Stanton, where his authority was
derived as the agent of the President.
On the 9th of January | received let
ter from the Secretary OF War Ia copy OF
which is herewith transmitted), directing
me to furnish an escort to public trea-
sure from the Rio Grande TO New Or,
leans at the request Of The Secretary of
the Treasury to him. also send two
other articles showing recognition OF
Mr.. Stanton as Secretary of War
by both the Secretary Of the Treas
ury and the Postmaster General,
in all which cases the Secretary of War
had called upon me to make orders re-
quested, or to give the information de-
sired. l believed, in my view as agent
Of the President, with an order SO clearly
ambiguous as that of the Presidents,
here referred to, it was my duty to in
form the President of my Interpretation
of it, and abide by that Interpretation
until received other orders. Dsclaim.
ing any intention now or hereafter of
disobeying any legal order of the Presi-
dent distinctly communicated, | remain,
very respectfully, your obedient servant,
us. GRANT, General.

Grant TmpaIed.

In another column appears CORE
spondencs between the President and
General Grant which makes an end of
the latter in the esteem of all gentlemen.
A breach of faith is crime too grave to
be committed with IMMUNITY by Kings,
Presidents or Generals. There is no
escape. A critical examination of these
letters will show that Grant conyicts
himself. even If the President was not
sustained by the letters of his cabinet
officers. /. The President has no occasion
to exclaim. "0h, that mine enemy
would write book" Grant has written
one, and the President has impaled him
on it. He will henceforth be the
jeer of the rabbe and the mackerels, and
it is within the range of probability that
the Radicals themselves will drop him
for very shame. A stupid article of q
morning contemporary hangs it on the
fence to be laughed at as usual. But the
voice Of the country will be decided and
emphatic. The possession of high place
only makes personal dishonor the more
conspicuous and disgraceful.
The New York Herald thus speaks;
The correspondence of General Grant
with the President, relative to Stanton
and the War Department, shows how the
mightiest heroes and most popular men
NAV fall when they enter into politics
