| WASHINGTON, February l5.-The Speake,
laid before the House to-day copy of the
correspondence between Generals Grant and
City Council in New Orleans, under date OF
February Z. General Hancock telegraphed
| to Grant that he had removed nine members
of the City Council-two white and seven
colored-for contempt of the orders of the
military commander in proceeding to an cleo
ton for Recorder for the Second District,
| which is an elective office by the people and
not by the Council. In justification of his
conduct General Hancock appeals to that
portion of the Reconstruction Acts which
allows the District Commander to suspend or
remove persons from office, and provides
from time to time for the performance of the
duties of persons removed by appointment.
Under date of February s Grant telegraphs
to Hancock to suspend his order until a full
report has been received. General Hancock
replies under date of February Q, requesting
Grant to reconsider his action and that his
order in the premises to not suspend be
withdrawn till Grant shall have full report
of the reasons for Hancock's action by mail.
He then proceeds to vindicate his conduct in
a lengthy argument. Grant replies that if
Hancock's order, removing the members of
the City Council, has been executed and the
new appointees are in Office he need not sus-
pend proceedings under his orders as direct
ed. Hancock replies under date Of February
II that the change in the City Council was an
