as not sustaining the present course OF the ad-
ministratiou. Mr.. Fish Mr. Jewell and Mr..

tiou, and it has even been rumored that they
will resign from the Cabinet. They are par
ticularly aggricved over Gen. Belknaps dis
patch to Sheridan which stated that the Cabl-
net endorsed his acts in New Orleans. The re-
port of their resignation was so widely promul-
gated Yesterday that it was thought proper to
send throughout the country, by way OF the
Associa,iated Press, semi-ofticial dispatch to
the effect that Mr. Fish had not offered to re-
sign, but that his future action is uncertain.

has been agreed upon, aud definite settle

over all the States AM people. Every friend I

whatever party name he is known By. NUT 90.
pose and abhor this last most alarming usurpa-
ton.
How can you suppose that the Federal Ad-
mnistration has not authorized, or does not
sanction, these proc eGiEgs? Has not Sheridan,
of all men and on all occasions, trertnd with the
most truculent defiance every restraint which
guards the existence Of the Ststes nnc the right
Of the citizen? Was he not sing led out for
chief command OF the army It New Orleans

gence of d great >tats-a!ter proposing TO sub

YOU make, because the sub ect s being consid-
