accused by the President and
his Cabinet Ministers of treaehery and
donble-dealing. Gideon Wells employed
the strongest language in denouncing
Grant $ conduct, and ! never read such an
eXcoriation as the President gave Grant, IN
language as forcible as Johnson could en-
ploy, and he knew how to use vigorous
English. He denounced Grant for his de-
ception and treachery, and charge him with
having played the spy upon the Admins
tration and the Cabinet. After having read
the denuneiation, l asked Mr.. johnson
where Grant was at the time He replied,
with great earnestness - him, as close
to me as you are; and during the delivery
of my remarks | shook NV finger in his
lace. " He Grant," continued General
Saunders, neither looked up nor replied,
SO President Johnson told me-"
ANOTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION.
On the other hand, Major Johnson, who
was Secretary Stanton's private Secretary
at the time the occurrences are said to have
taken place, and who, from the very close
and confidential relations he sustained to-
ward the great War Secretary. was prob
ably i'll position to know something of
the matter, says he believes, from what he
saw and heard before Stanton left the
Cabinet, that the story told by Chauncey
u. CSi'SN dbtt!t AfellSIai tTIaIt ana prCSl-
dent Johnson is true. He could not not.
of course, speak from knowledge OF
what occurred at the White House, but he
says he knew what was said on the sub
ject by Secretary Stanton and Representa-
tives and Senators who called upon him.
1t was known at the War Department that
Johnson was in favor of indictiug the
Confederate leaders for felony and treason.
Afterward, when Johnson had quarreled
with Sumner, the situation seemed very
much changed, and Stanton cautioned
loyal Congressman against "Johnson's
treason Pronounced Democrats were
about the White House and the President
was feasted and wined by them. and they
were on 4 friendly footing This was what
Secretary Stanton and Northern Senators
were talking of with uneasiness, and it is
what made Stanton want to STAY in the
Cabinet, though he had wanted to resign
under Lincoln. Grant had been looked
upon as supporter of the President. but
just then it was talked about that they had
quarreled, and it was Grant who first in
formed Stanton Of ,Johnson's intention 10
put him out of the Cabinet Grant had lust
had an interview with the President. and
went at once from the White House TO the
War Department and made the revelation.
THE coURIER-JoURNAL" SPEAKS.
LOUISVILLE, October 22d.-In view of the
publication of Mr.. Depew's letter relative
to General Grants conversation about eX-
President Johnson, the Courier Journal will
publish tomorrow three columns of Gen
eral Grants testimony before the House
Judiciary Committee, July Is. 1867. lust
prior to the Impeachment of President
johnson. The Courier journal will editori-
ally say: Ii is astonishing that among
all the wise men of the East; among all
those so busy writing history, not one
should remember that General Grant did
appear before the Judiciary Committee and
give his testimony. General Grant GER
talnly does not sustain Mr. DepeW. He
says distinctly that President johnson did
not propose to recognize a Congress COM
posed OF Southern members and the DEM
ocrats of the North. He asserts that in his
public speech, when swinging around the
circle, President Johnson did suppose a
case, and then asked which would be the
legal Congress, and he denies that he said
even this much to General Grant in private
This, and no more, is the substance of
Johnson's treason and it is plain that
what is new in Mr.. Depew's letter is not
true, and what is true is not new

An exciting legal fight is now in pro-

to proceed with the count, by instructinp
him what are and what are not legal re-
turns. The hearing Of this petition is fixed

order issued last night shall be dissolved,
the Clerk might complete his work before

THE RESULT IN CINCINNATI.
CINCINNATI, October 22d.-The official
count of this county, as it Will stand unless
changed by the action Of the Courts, was
finished this afternoon by the recording of
I he vote of precinct E, of the Eighteenth
Ward Judge BucswalteT. in deciding the
case for that precinct. said that
rs Thompson, the Republican Judge, did
not witness the count, the Court could not
compel him to certify to its accuracy. The
other Judges had made a count. and had
delivered their return in improper form.
He would require them to present their
return IN the usual and proper form, talk
ing care to show the date at which II is
made. As to proof Of fraud the Court said
the fact that 60 more votes were cast than
there were voters registered was conclusive
that there was illegal voting. but it was not
clear that these Illegal voters could not be
detected by contest. The Courts order
TO the Judges did not indicate what should
be done with the return, as that question
was not presented by this proceeding.
When the Judges presented their amended
return this afternoon, Justice Sanderson. a
memher of the Canvassing Board, could
not be found, and another Justice
of the Peace was called to act in
his place. The official footing, com
plete, makes Hoadly's plurality SIS.
Kennedy Republican,, for Lieuterant-G Gov

but the Democratic figures are all higher
than the highest Republican vote. The
Clerk will probably issue certificates to all
except the Senators as soon asthe footings
are made. The injunction as to Senators
still holds. 1t was argued all day on the

not supplanted by the other proceedings.
