| vi w liAorre-vr in an editorial upon the re
moval Of General Sherman s headquortars
authority for saying that the personal re
lations between the Secretary Of War and
the General Of the Army, are cordial and
friendly, and that there has been no open
rupture. General Sherman's removal is
made at this time on account of private
and personal matters, which in his Judge
ment under all circumstances justify his
course, but it is equally true that had he
any duties to perform as General OF the
| Army he would remain at the capital His
letter to the Secretary OF War has as yet
never been answered, nor its receipt ac-
Iknowledged. He has no authority nor is
his position recognized in the government
of the army. Orders go from the Secre-
tary Of War direct to the commander OF
the troops giving orders to company and
moving regiments of which'he knows moth
ing, unless he incidentally learns it in the
newspapers. Court martials are ordered,
the sentences reviewed and punishment
- inflicted without even his knowledge.
The Chronicle further remarks: 1T is
due to the present Secretary Of War to
say that the orders and present usage OF
! the War Department concerning the rela-
tive authority Of the Secretary of War and
the General of the army were determined
and acted upon by his predecessor IN that
Office, and that he did not, as has been as
serted, inaugurate any new doctrine or con
. structions OF the law.
