Washington, Feb II. Grants letter of the
3d inst, enclosing statements Of FIVE members
of the. Cabinet5, present on the, occasion of
Grants conversation with the President, Jan. /
18th, was sent to the Senate to-day. The
Presidents letter Is qHite long and pretty bit
ter against Grant-and says Grant admits
that from the time he accepted the War Office,
nd interim; he intended TO circumTent the
President, and it was to carry out that intent
that he accepted the appointment not in obe-
lience to the order of his superior, as has
heretofore been supposed The President says,
At the time you assumed the duties of the
Ofice you knew it was the Presidents purpose
TO prevent Mr.. Stanton from resumiag the
1fice of Secretary of War, and you Intended
10 defeat that purpose when you acceBted the
1fice, not In the interest of the President but
'f Stanton IF this purpose, so entertained
BY you, lad been confined to yourself, If when
Iccepting the Office you had done so with men
al reservation to Illustrate the President, it
souldshave been deception. In the ethics of
one persons such a course is allowable, but
Tou cannot stand even upon that questionable |
,round In history your connection with this |
as written by yourself, Tlaces you
n different predl dlcauent, and,sh o. ws that you |
lot only concealed your design from the |
President but induced him to suppose that you |
you'd carry out his purpose TO keep Mr.. |
stanton out of Office by retaining it yourself I
fter attempted restoration by the Ssnate-so |
s to- require Mr.. Stanton to establish his |
light BY judicial decision. The President |
hen proceeds to quote Grants language, ad- |
hitting that he agreed to hold on TO the office |
ntil the courts adjudicated the matter OF |
ir TO the President before Stanton |
vas re-instated- He says at tn dateuf this con-
ersatIon you did not intend to hold the Office /
nth the purpose of forcing Stanton into /
ouTt, but did hold then and had accepted /
hal In 9TH wf,rslS
ou said to the President this is the proper
curse; and said 60 yourself, I have accepted |
his office aad now hold it to defeat this
ourse. The President goes on to animadyert 4
pom Grants direct refusal to obey orders or
irections from him not to recognize orders
sued by Stanton, and quotes Stanton's letter
f the 4th inst, admitting he had received no
riders from the President, nor held commu-
ication with the Executive, and adds: !: 4
1t thus seems that Mr.. Stanton now dis
harges the duties of the War Departm ent
Iithout any reference TO the President and
IIthout using his name My order to you
ad only reference to orders assumed 60 be is
ned by the President. The President orders
ou not to obey orders purporting to be made
y direction of the President until you have
sferred to him for approval. You reply that
on have received the Presidents order and
i'll not obey it, but will obey orders purport-
,g to be given by his direction, if il comes
hey no direct order. OF the President, but Will
bey his indirect order. If, as you say, there
as been practice in the War Department. TO
sue orders in the name Of the President with
ut his direction, does not the precise order
ou have requested and received, change the
The President concludes by re-
roaehing Grant for insubordination, with
.tters appended of the Secretarys of State,
Interior, Navy, Treasury and p. M. General,
