had actually issued .an order to Gen.

received from the Secretary of War.
This turns out to be. true, and. it is: also
true that Gen. Grant declined to. obey it,
whereupon spicy correspondence ensued
which has lasted for, a couple OF weeks,

but also the charges made by the Pres
ident agains Genaral Grant, of dupIcity
in his action on the War Office question,
