Gen. j. Q. Breckenridge Is in the city
The HsyalCFs Long Branch correspond
ent says Gen. Grant was interviewed and
stated that Mr.. Bancroft, Minister TO Ber
lin, desires to resign and 60 to Italy tC
live, but as he is well posted on the Sau
Juan question, to relieve him now would
be injudiCiOus before the act arrived
The treaty will be fixed all right, and il
Mr.. Bancroft asks 10 ba allowed TO resign
then, he can do SO without injury to our
interests.
In speaking OF Gen. Sherman In con.
neCtion with the Presidency, Gen. Grant
said he and sherman were warm friends.
He was not authorized to speak for him,
but he was pretty certain that Gen,
sherman would not stand on the Demo-
cratic platform. Gen. Sherman is no
Democrat and never was The President
Ii satisfied with Mr.. Boutwell, and his
policy, and saw no necessity toChangc. He
further stated that lie knew but little con.
cerning the disagreement between Mr.
Fish and the Russian Minister but sup.
poses the affair was very trivial. When
Il IL reported TO him, he will be able 10 say
what 10 do with II, shOnld Il be worth
while doing anything. Our relations
with Russia are very cordial, and itw0nid
take great deal to disturb them. The
President had nothing to do with the ap.
pointment Of Brigham Young's son 10
West Point. The appointment was made
By the Utah delegate. Had he been aware
Of the intention, he would have asked the
Attorney General II he had the power to
prevent the appointment, and II the an.
swer had been affirmative, would have
settled tho matter right away, The Pres
ident sent the appointment Of Thomas
Francis Meagher's son u the War Office,
and It was returned with the endorsement
that the appointment had been made by a
