Rousseau NOT to take the Place OF
Meade-A iIew Minister to England
TO be Nom mated Soon.
Special telegram to the Dispatch
WASHING TON, February 5.-There is no
foundation for the newspaper rumors that
General Rousseau has been telegraphed
by the President to give up his command
in the Northwest and take the place of
Meade in the Third Military District, nor
does the President contemplate the reno.
val of Meade, as suggested. 1t is not
, doubted that the latter has conscientiously
performed his duty as he understands it
under the reconstruction acts, and there
is reason to believe Meade does not ap-
prove of the purpose Of those laws; he is
simply enforcing the acts as he CONSTITUTES
them.
1t is expected that new Minister to
England will be nominated within the next
ten days. AS before stated, the President
has selected of his own motion the nomi-
nee to the Senate. WALLACE.
