THE QUESTION or vERACIrY.

THE QUESTION OF NERAcirY.
Your correspondent has good rca-
son for stating that the several mem
bcrs Of The Cabinet who are quoted by
name in the last White House charyc
on General Grant arc deeply char
grincd at being exhibited in such I'M
i'ricndl y relations to the General, and
one Of them, ut least, has rcpldiatcd
The correctness of the language attri-
bu:cd TO him. Not one of them.
moreover, will, or can say word Of
anything except that which occurred
during the Cabinet meeting on Tues
day, the llth inst, and mono of them
claim that the private and individual
opinions OF Genc.al Grants previous
action is OF any weigh. ~ going to
show what that action was. Their
relations with General Grant have
always been Of 4 pleasant and agrcca
bic character, and there is no desire
or intention on their part that they
should be otherwise.

ly reminded General Grant that The
law had bccn sufficiently discussed
between them on Saturday, whom
General Grant made his promise ::
and
FyM.-That General Grants other
excuses were much confused, and "bad
in them no intclligibility."
General Grant is, in fact, described
as having, after these ESSAYS ON Tues
day the l1th, to explain away his
tnrgivcrsation, retired from the apart
mcnt whore Mr.. } ohnson and his min
istcrs were sitting, in an cmborross-
cd and unlignifcd manner, which
revealed his Keen appreciation Of the
strait in which ho had put himself. It
is with good deal of reluctance that
your correspondent cnforcos tho power
Of all this evidence by adding that one
Cabinet officer is reported to have
branded tho General as u 'liarn and a
''sneak."
Your correspondent takes it that
the above is u perfectly impreenablc
showing Of the first evasion, to use a
mild term, by General Grant. But
there is now equally imprcgnablo evi-
dcnco to show thatthc General of the
Union armies has since been guilty of
another evasion. have said ina

that they would jointly go to Stanton
