Causes which Led to Hts Observation-Disclosures
Continuing the Warfare.
The New York Herald has the following Washing
ton despatch:-
The newspapers in all parts OF the country are 80
fun of statements regarding the causes that led to
the withdrawal OF Secretary Cox from the Cabinet,
and these statements are so conflicting and contra
dictory, that the genera public must be sorely
bothered to arrive at any opinion on the subject.
There seems to be doubt of the fact telegraphed
you long snce-namey, that the assessment OF
clerks In the Interior Department for political pur-
poses and obstacles to civil service reform were not
the only why MIR. Cox took his sudden leave.
The course Of the eX-SeCrctaTy on the McGarrahan
most people imagine. Mr.. COX's skirts are not so
clear as his friends would like to make the public
believe and before this war of opposition to the adj
ministration is he will doubtless find out that
he has made a grand mistake in provoking attacks
nom those who otherwise would have suf
fered him to go in peace and rest Ia oblivion.
All the facts may not come out for few days, but
come they will, sooner or later. Little disagree
mcnte and unpeaSantnesseS in the female depart
ment have served to hGighten the new-formed dis.
legged that some of the bitter newspaper articles
Gently published Criticzng President Grants action
or the question of assessing clerks were written by
MIR Patent Commissioner Fisher, who is brother
Cox, after peruslng one Of these Fisher artt-
Cles, cut 1t out and incOsed it to Mrs. Grant,
anonymously. Unfortunately for Mrs. Cox, how
ever, she accidentally put the obnoxious article in
envelope, bearing the family monogram of Cox
and OF course Mrs. Grant Immediately knew whence
Madame Cox, from whom sne had received Ietters :
therefore, when Mrs Grant glanced the article
she naturally felt indignant, and put it into Grant
envelope with the simple but cutting words, IRE
turned to Mrs. Cox, with the compliments OF Mrs.
Grant Since then the two ladies' am informed
