The publication OF the ofllcal correspondence be.

| the retirement OF the latter from she Cabinet
| has raised quite . breeze in administra-
ton circles Az far a. can be ascertained
the President had no idea that the correspondence
would be made public. He had repeatedly refused TO
give 1t out for publication saying that was private
and not intended for the public Judge of his sur
prise when no read It In the papers this morning
at his breakfast table. Secretary Cox was In
vited to the dinner given this evening Al
the White House, at which all tho other
members except Secretary Robson. who Is out
OF town, were present. and in addition Score.
tary Delan0 and Senator Morton Nh. Cox did not
put IN his appearance but his regrets In brief
note this afternoon. Whatever may have been the
feelings of those present the subject Ia known
that no mention was made OF Cox and
no surprise expressed at his absence,
though the dinner was given partly for him, either
by the President or any Of his guests. 1t Is under
stood that the President 10 deeply chagrned both at
the course Of Cox making the letters public and at
the contents Of the Secretary's letter ITSELF
the purport Of which Grant does not
seem to have noticed untn 1t appeared
In print 1t may BIO stated u fact that the true
reason Tor the retirement OF Mr.. Cox from the Cab
net has not yet been set forth. Now that Cox has
seen proper to publish the correspondence covering
his resignation 1t is understood that the real
cause OF his leaving the Cabinet will be made
EVau (~~r u:Ht.
through the same channel that the correspondence
was made public The friends OF the President feel
that In Justice to himself not less than the repub
llcan party and its representatives In Congress,
some notice must be taken or C0xs letter or resg-
nation.
