WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Ross, in his speech In the Senate to-
day, said the statements of his inter
view with the President were grossly
incorrect and slanderous, and had
been prompted by parties interested
in manufacturing public opinion
| against him, who were witnesses to
the interview. In simple justice
to the President, he felt it his
duty to say that on the occasion
referred to, no word inconsistent
with the strictest rules of pro
priety and deeorom were uttered
| by either of the parties of the inter.
view. The interview was sought by
him not for purposes of importuniDg
the President to appoint this or thai
man. He had never yet approached
him for that purpose, and had no de,
sign at preseD@ OF doing so. His OBJ
ject was to protest against the sweep
ing removals of Radical Republican,
in his State. During the interview
he was astonished and panied to heal
from the President the assertion tina
where any man had held officI
during the last year and half, i
was presumptive evidence that he wa
a johnson man. He proceeded a
length to critlcise the removals ant
appointments that had been made II
his State A portion of the delega
D ton had demanded and the Presiden
had conceded a summary dlsmissa
of Republican Office holders, on mer
charges of want of fealty to the Re
publicans, which charges the me-
/ making them knew, In man
E instances, to be false and Sian
5 derous. He charged that of th
E new appointments, scarcely on
: had been taken from the soldiers VIII
fought against the rebellion, but /
/ their stead men had been appoints
: who were skulkers in time of danger
c and notoriously unfit for any publ
: charge.
: Mr.. Pomeroy briefly replied to hi
= colleague, saying that he was we'll sa
d isGed with the President and his &C
e ministration. He saw nothing
Q complain of, and nothing to censur
! He argued that the changes were d.
8 manded by and would be sanctiOne
o by the people of Kansas.

e Lyman, of Vermont, who has ocel
/ pied a desk in the Dead Letter Off
