Branch: The President hiss spoken will
great freedom and frsnkness to friends O.
Grant. He expresses the strongest desire
to recognize Grant. He points out hi
inestim Bile obligations to Robertson. x
Robertson he ewes his nomination, anC
not 10 reward this would be ingratitude
All asks from the republics organic
alton in New York is that he might be
allowed to pay this debt ia the hsndsom-
est manner. It is not matter of poll
tics, but one of honor.
There are rumOrs from Ohio that dis
turb the equanimity Of the President. Il
has been discovered that there are stall
warts in Ohio who wish fuller explana'
ton Of the Presidents disregard of the
implied obligations Of the last campaign
than have been vouchsafed. Postmaster
General James, who will arrive to-mor-
row. it is understood, will come on this
erEand. James has won authoritative
position in the cabinet, and those who
believed that he, like his colleague,
would say ditto to Blaine" are disap-
pointed. 1t is very evident that the Pres
ident, TO use the words Of one who has
seen much Of him since he came to the
Elberen, twill soon have to decide be-
tween Blaine and perdition
New York, 22.-The San has the fol-
lowing: Grant wrote to President Gar
field yesterday consenting TO the pubica-
tiou'ot two letters which recently passed
between them concerning some of the
Presidents appointments. The CORES
pondence began while Grant was in Mex
leo. He wrote from there to MS friend
Senator John P. Jones. Of Nevada, criti-
cising some Of the appointments and APP
proving the position taken by Senator
Conkling. He enclosed to Jones letter
for the President which was delivered 10
Mr.. Garfield by Senator Jones in person.
The President sent q letter in reply
directed to General Grant at the City of
Mexico. General Grant says this letter
reached him on the steamer at Vera
Cruz, on the day Of sailing, and that
pressing business matters have since &C.
eupied his time so completely that it was
not until yesterday that he found time to
answer the letter. He says that the Presi-
dents letter was courteous and friendly
in tone but that it In no way changed bis
opinions on the course Of the President in
removing from office his friends, Consul
General Badesu and Minister Cramer
aud in appointing his enemy, Senator
Robertson, to the collector of this port.
These things he considers the result of 8
deliberate purpose to injure him and his
friends. The letter he wrote to the Presi-
dent yesterday replies to General Gar
fields letter and the President is author
ICED TO publish this reply also.
Ex-Oollector Murphy is continuing his
efforts to bring about an smicsble under
standing between the President and Gen
Grant. He is not so anxious, however,
abqRt reconciling the President and Sen
ator Conkling. Mr.. Murphy tells his
friends that Just after Mr.. Garfed's
nomination at Chicago, he took Mr.
Garfield to General Arthur's rooms to
meet Senator Conkling. and that Mr..
Garfield waited there four hours for Mr..
Conkling but failed to see him.
General Grant says he will not consent
to meet the President until the latter has
more satisfactorily explained his course
The presentation of the citizens purse
Of $3.50, 900 to General Grant is delayed
for few days at his request.
In another column the Sun has this:

letter, in relation to the New York ap-
pointment. He says he will not give the

quest, or public clsmor for their publicA-
ton, but intimstes that if circumstances
bring it about the letters may be made

He saws be has had no Communication
from Grant upon the subject, nor has he
any other knowledge of Grants permits

rived from the newspaper report OF an
interview with Grant. He has 10 ap-
pointment TO meet Grant here. he says,
nor has he any intention Of giving the
