rSchermerhorn's 8. Mr.. Stanton imme-
diately followed him. After some
conversation, Mr.. Stanton said. Then
you claim to be here as Secretary OF
War, and refuse to obey my orders
General Thomas-I do, sir; shall
require the mails for the War De-
partment to be delivered to me, and
shall transact all the business Of the
War Department.
At this juncture Gen. Grant and
4 aid came in
General Grant said playfully to Mr..
/ Stanton-FrieDds, am surprised to
see you here. / supposed you would
be at my headquarters for protection.
GENERAL THOMAs-HE CoNsULTs
! WITH THE PRESIDENT.
After a long conversation with
Robert J. Walker, Gen. Thomas left
his Office
1t is reported that Walkers advice
to him was TO remain passive, and to
carry cut all the orders of the Presi-
dent; but await the action Of the
Court, and not to forcibly eject Stan
ton.
Gen. Grant was not present at the
interview Of Stanton and Thomas.
After Thomas left, the friends Of
Stanton also left.
After leaving the War Department,
Thomas, in company with Robert j.
Walker, went 10 General Grants
headquarters, thence to the White
House, where he was admitted with
out delay. Attorney General Stan
berry, Secretary Welles and r.. j.
Kennedy, we're present at the inter
view. General Thomas conversed ut
some length with the President, Civ
ing an account of his interview with
Stanton. The President then with
drew TO the library with Stanbery,
where consultation was held.
GEN. GRANTS POSITION.
In reply to question from the
Committee as to what he would do if
the President should call upon him to
furnish troops to force Mr. Stanton
out, General Grant, in a very charac- |
teristic manner, Immediately said: =" / |
would like to see him (the President) |
get them from me; can't even raise |
a guard for that purpose"
The President has been comforting |
a good portion Of the day with his |
Cabinet and Senators Dixon and Doc
little, and General Thomas. General |
Banks was called during the day and |
had brief interview. The President
seems to be impressed with the gravity
of the situation and expects the
House to vote for impeachment, but
freely expressed his intention to test
the conflict which has arisen only in
the Courts.
GEN. GEO. II. THOMAS
here, to Senators, that
he had received, in his opinion, all
the promotions and honors that he
merited, and that he had respectfully
declined the nominations of Lieuten-
ant General and General by breVet,
and he hoped the Senate woul reject
them. He was assured by telegraph
that his wishes would be complied
with.

Governor Ogle.by on the situation.

SPRINGFIELD, IL, Feb 24.-Gov-
ernOr Oglesby, on Saturday, sent the
following dispatch TO Schuyler Colfax
at Washington:
The assumptions Of Andrew
johnson have created profound SEN
sation IN this State. His last act is
that Of traitor. His treason must
be checked. The duty of Congress
seems plain. The people Of Illinois,
attached to the Union, / firmly be-
lieve will demand his impeachment,
and will heartily sanction such action
by our Congress. The peace Of the
country is not to be trlhed with by
this presumptuous demagogue. We
know the National Congress will pro-
coed. Millions of loyal hearts are
panting to stand by the stars and
stripes. Have no fear; all will be
well. Liberty aud order will again
triumph.
Adiutant General Haynee also tele-
graphed General Logan to stand firm
ly by Stanton, assuring him Of the
support of the Grand Army Of the
Republic, and the loyal people Of his
constituency, which embraces the en-
tire State.

WHAT motive had the Republican
| Convention in making protest
against the payment of any part of
the rebel debt, or any payment what
ever for emancipated slaves a part of
its platform2-Indianapohs Herald.
One of the motives the Republicans
had in view, in protesting against the
payment of the rebel debt and for
emancipated slaves, was to let the peo-
pie know the views Of their party on
that question, The Democratic party
in the States of Kentucky and Della
ware, where it is largely in the major
ity, has placed itself on the record in
favor of paying for emancipated slaves
The same party in the States of
Ohio aud New Jersey has shown itself
not averse to paying either the rebel
debt or for emancipated slaves, BIZ
passing through the Legislature of
those States a resolution Withdrawing
their approval of the Constitutional
Amendments. Those amendments
expressly provided that no State or
the United States should ever pay any
portion of the rebel debt, or for
any slaves emancipated during the
war. The hostility of the Demo-
cratic party to these benefcent pro-
visions, indicates that it is willing to
make good the losses incurred by the
rebels in their attempt to destroy the
Government. The Republican party
takes issue with the Democracy on
this question, and it is eminently
proper that the issue should be clear
ly defined and set forth il our State
platform The Republicans of Indi-
ana desire the people to know exactly
where they stand.

4 sides, who, with a band of conspira-
tors, murdered Captain Mccarthy, an
enrolling officer ia DaViess County,
IN 1863 The case was referred to the
District Attorney, who reported IN
favorably and said his pardon would
be a great oufrage.-Ind. Tor. GIN
ciRndti COmDterci1L
The assa ;~'ation of Captain Nc
Carthy was yue OF the most cold
blooded and atrocious murders ever
perpetrated IN this State. He was
ambuseaded, shot dead, and his body
dragged for a mile through the woods
and then sunk in the river. Mr.
NIBLACK is eonversant with all the
facts. His influence in behalf Of one
Of the murderers shows that be does
not regard the killing of a Union
soldier as a crime Of sufficient import
ance to justify the Imprisonment of a
Son of Liberty" for six years. To
this transaction Mr.. N1BLAcK informs
the people of Daviess County and the
First Congressional District that his
sympathy is all with the murderers
and not with their unfortunate vic
tim. This was insinuated against him,
at the time Of the occurrence, and in
dignantly repealed. The great re-
action" last Fall has encouraged our
" mild-mannered" Representative TO
throw off all Disguise and present him
self before the people in his true coll
Ors. This is all we ask. We think he
will find the people of this District in
disposed to endorse his attempt TO re-
lease notorious murderers.

" From careful observation and CONVEX

GENERAL HANCOCK AND HIS FRIENDS

GENERAL HANCOCK AND HIS FRIENDS
The friends of Geneldl Hancock continue 10
STOW con-idefable feeling over his defeat in
ihe New York Convention, and complain that
me P' ndletOn men did not show an honorable
reciprocity in retUrpipg the votes given by
Hancock men lor Pendleton in the early ballots.
They allege that the warmest relations appa-
rently existed tween the delegations favora-
BILE 10 those wo gentlemen, and that the friends
OF General Hsueock for many ballc 5 threw
over forty woes for Mr.. Pendleton. with the
desire Of affording every opportunity for his

The fifteenth ballot securrd the nomination of
HANCOCK, yet they ASSUMED the responsibility
of placing Seymour before the people. They
say that The lriends OF General Hancock were
aoiuated by the same motives which influenced
hIm-a belief that he Wa the strongest candi-
date, snd that so many Conservative Republi-
cans would supOort him IS 10 render success
certain. Their further belief extended to
the assumption that has administration, tree
from the control of politicians, would more
surely secure harmony and bring peace and
prosperity upon the country. His warm par
tIssns, they say, have bcen disappointed in
cherished hopes; but the Democratic portion
will, 10 a man, give the most cordial and earnest
support TO the NOMINEES. aud General Hancock
hImseh will soon publish a letter endorsing
them, and recommending all his friends to give
them a hearty support.
In this connection, letter written by
General Hancock TO General j. G. Steed-
man, New York, bearing date July 4th, is
published, in which he posiively declines to
run second on the ticker, as follows:
