ALABAMA ELECTION RETURNs.-Forney
is in receipt of letter from q correspond
emit at Montgomery, Ala, who says:
ct have carefully revised the vote of
fifty-ive counties as unofficially received
to this date, February 16, with the follow
ing result 1852 votes for the Constitu-
ton, and 523 votes against the same,
making the total vote upon the question of
ratification 1905, with seven counties yet
to hear from.
"The seven counties not heard from
threw 1921 votes for convention in Oc-
tober last, which, if to be relied upon as a
basis for calculation, would give US Sl,9l6
votes upon the question of ratification,
,Ohich is, beyond doubt, q majority OF all
the legally registered voters NOW IN ALA
BAMA. It should be remembered, how
ever, that three of the counties not heard
from held no election at all, and it seems
certain that General Hayden will not give
sufficient notice before holding those elec-
tions to even notify the people that an
election is to be held"

The Converse ton between MIR. STAN.
ton and General Thomas.

General Thomas, having just been re-
leased on bail by Judge Cartier, pre-
scented himself at the door of the Depart
ment and told Mr.. Stanton that he would
like to see him. Mr.. Stanton told him to
proceed with anything he had to say. &C.
neral Thomas remarked he had come to
discharge bis duties as Secretary OF War
ad interim, having been ordered to do so by
the President of the United States. Mr..
Stanton replied that he could do no such
thing, and ordered him to his room to per-
form his duties as Adiutant- General. &C.
neral Thomas replied that he had been
ordered by the President to act as Secre-
tary of War, and he intended to do it..
Mr.. Stanton again replied he should not,
and again ordered him to his own room,
and denied the power of the President to
make any such order. General Thomas
said he would not go that he should obey
the orders of the President, and not obey
Tie orders of Mr.. Stanton. Mr.. Stanton
remarked: GAS Secretary of War l order
you to repair to your own place as AdJu-
tant. General" General Thomas: q
shall not do So" Mr. Stanton said {:
Then you may stay there as long as you
please, if the President orders you, but
YOU cannot act as Secretary of War;"
General Thomas I: 81 shall act as Secre-
,ary of War;"
General Thomas then withdrew into a
room opposite, being General Shriyer's
room, Mr.. Stanton Immediately following
him. After some conversation, Mr.. Stan
ton said "Then you claim to be here as
Secretary of War, and refuse to obey my
oTders?"
General Thomas.-"I do, sir. shall re-
qure the mails for the War Department to
be delivered to me, and shall transact all
business ofthe War Department"
At this juucture General Grant and aid
came in. General Grant said playfully TO
Mr.. Stanton 81 am surprised to find you
here; supposed you would be at my
headquarters for protection. "-StGr.

VIEWS OF THE PRESS ON Mr.. STANToN's
REMovAL.-The Presidents removal of
Secretary Stanton of course ELECTS much
comment on, the part of the press.
The New York Herald says the move of
the President looks like bringing the con-
fict between King and Parliament to a
crisis; that if the Radicals fail to act
promptly and decisively they are gone.
If they attempt to act decisively they may
fail, and from their failure Andrew John
son may cut out all competitors and walk
over the broken fragments of the Republi-
can party into the next Presidency.
The New York World says that when
the proper time comes for the forcible
election of Stanton, Stanton and Grants
disobedience Of orders will be but slight
obstacle. He is bound to obey the order
of the President. The right of command
implies the duty of obedience. If Con-
gress tells General Grant not to obey, it
thereby attempts to strip the President OF
the command of the army-an attempt
which can succeed only by the overthrow
of the Constitution. The instructions OF
the Senate to Mr.. Stanton are plain
usurpation Of authority and an imprudent
intrusion into the Executive Department
The 1ribune'S leader on the removal OF
Secretary Stanton is rather indefinite. 1t
says Mr.. johnson will achieve no coup
detat. Nature, in denying him the courage
proportional to his vanity, has made him
proof against great crimes. His forte lies
, entirely in peccadilloes. When Congress
concludes to impeach him for petty INSIDE
meanors it will find plenty of them. But
if it waits for high crimes, he will serve
out his term in feverish peacefulness and
empty feints.
The Philadelphia Post (Republican) de-
mands that Congress shall at once impeach
the President.
The Philadelphia Press says that An
drew Johnson, by the wrath Of God, seems
at last to have eliminated his career of
shame, disgrace, and crime. If he can so
far forget his commission, his oath, and
self, he must repeat the tragedy of April
18th, 1861.
Forney says Mr.. Johnson was by his con.
duct last week bidding for the support OF
the Democratic National Executive Com.
mittee, but failed to receive any notice
from them.
The President and Congress both are as.
sured by numerous letters and kilograms
that the people will stand by them.
