standing, therefore, I renew the request
that you will give me written instr uctioDs
and, until they are received, will suspend
action on your verbal ones.
| am compelled to ask these instruct
ions in writing, in consequence of the
many gross misrepresentation affecting
my personal honor, circulated through
the press for the last fortnight, .purport-
ing to come from the President, Of con-
versations which occurred either with the
President privately, in his Office, or in
Cabinet meeting. What is written ad-
mlts of no misunderstanding.
In view of these Misrepresentation re-
ferred to, it will be we'll to state the facts
in the case. Some time after assumed
the duties of Secretary of War, ad IN.
fterim, the President asked my view as to
the course Mr.. Stanton would have to
pursue in case the Senate should not ccn'
cur in his suspension to obtain posses
sion Of his Office. 1880
+ Ny reply was I'M substance that Mr.
Stanton would have to appeal to the
courts to reinstate him, illustrating my
position by citing the grounds I had ia
ken in the caseof the Baltimore Police
Commissioners. In that easel did not
doubt the technical right Of Governor
Swami to remove the old commissioners
and appoint their successors. As the
told commissioners refused to give up
however, | contended that no resource
was left but to appeal to the Courts
Finding that the President was desirons
lof keeping Mr.. Stanton out OF Office
whether sustained in the suspension OF
not, stated that had not looked par.
ticulsrly into the Tenure of Office Bill,
but that what l had stated was the gen.
eral principle, and if should change my
mind in this particular case, Iawould in.
form him of the fact. e
Subsequently on reading the Tenure
of-of6ce bill closely,I found could not,
without violatien Of law, refuse to va
cate the Office Of Secretary of War, the
moment Mr.. Stanton was ''reinstated by
the Senate, even though the President
ordered me to retain it, which he never
did. ID gtsnr sia9 gu Is 5l;.:.
Taking this view of the subject. and
learning on Saturday; the 11th INST, that
the Senate had taken up the subiect3of
Mr.. Stanton's suspension, after some
conversation with Lieutenant General
Sherman, and some members of myfstaff,
in which / stated that the law left me no
direction as to my action, should mr.
Stanton be reinstated, and that / intend
ed to inform the President, / went to the
President fo- the sole purpose of making
this decision known, and did make it SO
known. Inthis fulfilled the promise
made in our last preceding conversation
on the subject. The President, however,
instead of accepting my view of6the re-
quirement Of the Tenure-of- Office bill,
contended he had suspended Mr.. Stanton
under authority given by the Constitu-
tion, and that the same authority did not
preclude him from reporting, as an act of
courtesy, his reasons for the suspension
to the Senate; that having been appoint
ed under authority given by the Consti-
tuition, and not under the act Of Congress
| could not be governed by the act

tracks. Omaha for q year past has boon the Mecca
Of mechanics. At length the market NJ glutted and
the most discOuraging reports come back from that
city. The place Is said TO be full of men looking for
employment, and thousands are almost starving who
would willingly return If they had the means. There
are SO many applicants for work that the Pacific
Railroad Company have reduced the wages of me-
chancs &C., to 81 per day and laborers to 81 2 and
are still OvercrOwded with applications. All the hotels
are crowded. at So so per day. Common board Is 50
per week; out and along the line of railroad for
wOrkmen, 81 per week. Every night hundreds OF
haggard, half-starved men, some with no boots,
others without hats coats can be seen hurryng to
the freight sheds to secure space large enough on
which to lay and sleep. The city Is overrun with
gamblers and thieves and robberies and murders
