public business to transmit with the
Secretary of War than any other OF the
Presidents subordinates, was the only
one who had been instructed 10 disre-
gard the authority of Mr.. Stanton,
where his authority WAS derived as
agent of the President. On the 9th of
January I received a letter from the
Secretary of War (copy herewith), di.

ing the recognition of Mr. Stanton as
Secretary of War by both the Secretary
OF the Treasury and the Postmaster
General, in all of which cases the Sec
retary of War had TO call upon me TO
make the orders requested, or to give
the information desired. and where his
authority to do so is derived, in my
