SECRETARY STANToN.-SccretaryS Stan
ton on the morning of Tuesday the l4th,
returned to the duties of Secretary OF
War. 1t is reported, that the return was
talked of in the Cabinet meeting on that
day, but was not formally discussed by
the members. The certified copies of
the Senate resolutions declaring the rea-
sOns for the suspension insufficient were
scverally delivered to Stanton and Grant
the night previous, but the President did
not receive a copy until 8 or 10 o'clock,
Tuesday a. NJ, although copy was left
for him at the executive mansion about
the same tine.
Secretary Stanton was received at the
War Department by Gen. Grant about
10 o'clock, and soon after the former re-
sumed his duties; but it was not until an
hour after the occurrence that the Presi-
dent received note from Gen. Grant, ia
forming him that he had received copy
of the Senate resolution, and that i'll con-
sequence of its action, under the tenure
of Office law, he had ceased to be Secreta-
ry Of War al interim. General Grant
subsequently visited the Executive Man
sion, and had conversation with the
President about his retiring from Office
as Secsetary Of War ad Interim Ac-
cording to the reports, the Presidents
understanding was that General Grant,
before retiring from the Department,
would give him notice to that effect, or
ask to be relieved from the duties of Sec
retary.
The President in conversation with his
friends said the Senate resolution did not
deny his right TO suspend him, but mere
ly declared that the evidence and reasons
given by him were not sufficient in this
case to justify him in the suspension of
Stanton, and the President himself re-
marked that there WAS no authority for
the statement that he will refuse to rec
ognize Secretary Stanton, bat will tran
sact all army business through the head
quarters of the army. Much interest is
expressed as to what steps the President
will take with retert nee to Stanton.

gagged builling roads and in organizing the
transport train.
All the water needed for the troo"s and ani-
mails (5,OOO in number) at Camp Zulla is con-
denscd on board the transports lying in the
Bay, and thence supplied ashore by means of
pipes. Eight to ten Thousand gallons 90 tuns)
are shipped daily, but there is great waste, and
the consequence is great suffering and loss
ImOug the horses and mules. The coast and
Jungle for miles inland is literally strewn with
;orrses.
1t is pretty certain that Maine will present,
1t the Chicago Convention, for nomination to
he Vice Presidency, the name Of Mr. HSmiir;
New York that of Mr.. Fenton; Pennsylvania
mat Of &Ir. Grow; Ohio that Of 3lr Wade; and
Indiana that of Mr.. Colfa1. A most excellent
ist from which TO make selection. If the last
National Convention had tFken either of these
men, the party would have been spared the
humiliation Of great betrayal, and the coun-
ry saved four years Of frnitless.
GENERAL LHANCoCK-Gen. Hancock excluded
negroes from the jury box in Louisiana, in or
Ter that ignorance should not obstruct the due
,rocess of law. Judge Howe who was one Of
lie compIainants to Hancock, after getting
pick aad span new White jury, thought he
vas going to have good time in dispensing
aw and settling court difficulties. Bat 10. the
result! This jury turn round and
ring in verdict so outrageously contrary both
D law and evidence that he had 10 tuIn them
ut Of court with the remark that ''they did no!
osscss the requisite intelligence for the proper
isrharge of their duties" This any decent
IAN would. have known before but now 1t is |
oped the fools can understand the beauty OF
ratfying low, dirty prejudice. They may |
I'D ont sometime that ignorance, virtue, or |
'isdon do not necessarily require q certain col
r efskia for their deveIopemeut.- The pro-
sss of degrading white men by giving them
ivantages over The colored people is gradually
ringing forth its proper fruits. As it is now,
egroes.are excluded from juIies in Louisiana
D account of their calor, ana white men on &C.
ount Of their ignorance. |.
