The additional dependence Of Grant and the
President adds nothing Of Importance unless
a charge by the President against Grant OF con-
structive insubordination is important. This is
based on the fact that Grant did execute orders Of
the Secretary Of War, after hc had received direc-
tious from the President not to recognize orders
from the Secretary, assuming TO be issued by
the direction of the President unless Grant knew
them to be authorized boy the President. To this
Grant replies that he had informed The President
Of his Interpretation OF that orders that his acts
were in conformity to that Interpretation; and
moreover. that these acts were simply in compli-
ance with requests to Stanton made by the Secretary
of the Treasury and the Postmaster General in the
execution Of the duties Of their respective depart
ments. SO Grant again corners the President.
