to tho General the confidence Of the loyal peo-
pie of the South in his administration, and to
acauaint him with the condition of affairs and
wants Of the people in those States, and their
indulgence of tho hope that this section would
be remembered by him in the selection OF his
Cabinet. General Grant in his reply stated that
he was glad to receive them, and assur-
ed them that under his administration he
would eudeayor to hayo affairs satisfactorily
conducted in the South, but he could give no
intlmation of what his intention was in refer
ence to member Of his Cabinet from that sec
tion. He stated that military matters in the
South would be changed, and commanders as
signed to duty th.re who vere in sympathy
with the administration. In reply to ques-
ton as to whether General Sheridan would po

that that officer would probably remain for the
