The Johpson-(srnnt Correspondence.
Washington correspondence (Feb. 81 Of the

In regard to the correspondence thus far, how
| ever, it is impossible to get calm Judgment just
| now until the bitterness of party strife shall
1 have somewhat subsidized and the sober second
thought of the people shall be brought into play
But there are still some facts connected with the
matter which are interesting. IL is now very
| generally understood that the introduction OF
! the resolution OF inquiry on Monday was pre-
pared at the instance of Mr.. Stanton, who had
received an intimation from General Grant that il
he (the Secretary of War; was called upon for the
| correspondence, copies of the letters would be
given him for transmission to the House. Subse
| quent TO this select few of the republican mem
bers were convened, and il was decided that the
resolution should be offered Then some sharp
| practice was put in play. IL was not deemed adj
| visable that one OF the prominent members of the
| party should offer the resolution, but Mr. Chester
| ID. Hubbard of West Virginia. gentleman who
is but seldom heard upon the floor, was en-
trusted with the introduction of the document.
| Had Mr.. Washburne, Mr.. Stevens, or Butler
or Ashley, men of that class proposed
| the inquiry, it would doubtless have at
! traeted the attention OF gentlemen on the other
side of the House and met with objection. But
| coming il did from a comparatively obscure
! member, who seldom seeks the attention of the
/ House, and who has not been given to the intro
duction of measures of very radical tendency, it
escaped the attention il would have received 9TH
erwise. That the easy passage Of the resolution
was not expected manifest from y remark
| subsequently made by MIR. Hubbard to fellow
member. that he had not expected to have the
resolution passed without objection. The game
was well played, and the radicals got the CORE
! spondence before the country, which was all they
| desired.
