from Gen. Pleasonton the following note:
"'Neac York, July 25, 1S72.-Dear Cen
eral: Of course have no objection TO your
giving my name to the public. In explana-
ton Of the facts, would say that, being a
friend of the President as well as of yourself,
desired you should be on good terms aid
you should understand that there was no
personal feeling in the way of relations
mutually satisfactory. Your statement
is correct that the President
wanted your support for his Santo Domingo
scheme, and that you could have had the
patronage of the Government for giving it.
That was the distinct impression pres
ident's conversation made upon nay mind,
and communicated it to you at the time.
If the President positively denies having
had any such conversation, | regret it. /
may console myself with the reflection that
