1t will be seen by our dispatches
this morning that the President has
been foiled in his latest attempt 70
circumvent the laws Of Congress aud
bring confusion. ifnot anarchy. upon
the country. He had eontriyed a
plan not only to dispense with the
services Of the Secretary of War. but,
also, of General GRANT, as com
mander Of the armies of the United
States. as far, at least, as the recon
struction measures were concerned.
He has created a new military De-
partment, and had intended to assign
Lieut.. Gen. SHERMAN to the com
mand, and issue his orders direct
through him. A dispatch to the New
York World, from its correspondent
at Washington, who has the ear Of
the President, and who published the
recent authorized version of the Cab
met meeting, at which General GRANT
was questioned 10 reference to the
surrender of the War Office, states
that "the insubordinate position of Gen
Grant tos0ards The President IS men
toned as cause for his inansedtate az
rest and trial 6efore a Court Martial"
As part of the plot to carry out these
projects, the President sent in to the
Senate the name Of General SHER-
MAN for promotion to the position Of
BreUet General.
General SHERMAN, however, is not
TO be used for any such base purposes,
and he mas promptly telegraphed te
Washington that he does not wish to
go there. and that he does not believe
the President can legally create a new
military Division. He is 30 deter
mined on this point that he pre- ers
the alternative of resignation, and
will 50 act if ordered 10 accept the
post. He has, also, telegrsphed Sena
tor SHERMAN to have the Military
Committee refuse to sanction the ap-
pOintu1ent.
