the same time it was also agreed that
General GRANT, in company with Cen
ural SHERMAN, should call on the Pres
ident on Monday to determine finally
whether he would resign as Secretary
ad interim or continue in the office and
test Mr.. STANToN's right as before
stated. General SHERMAN called on
the Executive at the appointed time,
but General GRANT did not.
Instead of faithfully fulfilling his part
of this agreement, it seems that General
GRANT assisted secretly in the reinstate-
ment of STANTON, by delivering to him
the keys, and then informing the Presi-
dent of it!
The act wears all the appearance Of
a gross. aud indefensible violation Of a
friendly compact. 1t was n deliberate
scheme TO induct the Presidents enemy
into an Office which General GRANT held
in trust for the President. There may
be a satisfactory explanation of this
conduct; bnt it is impossible to see it,
at present.
There is no longer a doubt of the eS-
istence of plot at Washington to over
throw the Republic, annihpate the Ex-
ecutive Office for the time being, stitle
the Supreme Court, and make the Gen.
eral of the Army supreme Dictator in
the ten Southern States, with the privi-
ledge of extending the militsry suprem-
acy over the Northern States. This is
the scheme, and General GRANTS singu-
lar conduct creates the suspicion that
he has consented to become an instru-
ment to execute it. Can it be possible
that the promise of the Presidency from
the plotters is the motive that prompts
his participation in it, lfso, had he
not better reflect carefully before he
commits Oh act for which a Thousand
Presideseies would be poor reward.
