Sht gedhml 6a??ttr. Friday Morning;, February 21, IMIH. WE print, this week, to theexclusion of our usual variety, the powerful speech of SENATOR DOOLITTLE, deliv ered in the U. S. Senate a short time ago, and the John-on-Grant correspon dence, in which Gen. Grant is so com pletely used up. The editor is also ab sent, which will account for lack of or iginal matter. GRANT'S DISGRACE. Hon are tiie Mistily Fallen ! Falsehood anil Duplicity explicitly prov ed upon F. S. Grant ! I'be President's Last Letter to the I>e m funet Ulysses! Five Members of the Cabinet. Messrs. Welles. McCnlloeli. Randall. Ilrou niiis and Kenard, testify to the Lying; and Donble-dealim; of the Great Military Pretender! A Complete Showing Fp of that Consn inate Impostor, "Grate-yard" Grant 1 Read ! Head ! Read ! The charge having been made that Gen. U. S. Grant hud made a distinct promise to the President that he would either hold on to the War Department and let Mr. Stanton test his right to that office in the courts, or would re sign in time to permit the President to appoint some one who would hold on, and that Gen. Grant had promised the President that he would call on him on a certain day fixed by them to let him (the President) know whether he would hold on, or resign, he (Grant) wrote the President a letter denying that he had made any such promises. The President replied that he (Grant) did make thaproraises and that he (Grant) knew he made them. Grant rejoined in a reiteration of his denial and wound up by charging the President, in an insolent manner, with trying to ennmit him (Grant) to a vio lation of the Tenure of Office "Law." The President now comes in with his rebutter and produces in support of his statement, the evidence of five mem bers of his Cabinet, who were present when Gen. Grant acknowledged that he had promised to hold on to the \\ ar Department, or resign, and also that he had agreed to meet the President and apprise him of the course he in tended to pursue, on the day specified. ; We give below the letters of the Presi dent and members of the Cabinet. Here are six of the most eminent and hon orable men in the whole Union whose testimony proves that Grant has not only acted treacherously, hut in deny ing that he had made the promises a bove described, he uttered a xcilful and deliberate falsehood. Read this corres pondence carefully and then hand to your neighbor: EXECUTIVE MANSION. Feb. 10, 'GB. General: The extraordinary cliamc- j ter of your letter of the 3d instant would seem to preclude any reply on my part; hut the manner in which publicity lias been given to the corres pondence of which that letter forms a part, and the grave questions which are involved, induce mo to take this mode of giving, as a proper sequel to the communications which have passed j between us, the statement of the five members of the cabinet who were pres ent on the occasion of our conversation on the 14th ultimo. Copies of the let ters which they have addressed to me, are accordingly herewith enclosed. You speak of my letter of the 31st ultimo as a reiteration of the many , gross misrepresentations contained in certain newspaper articles, and reassert the correctness of the statements con tained in your communication of the 2Sth ultimo, adding, (and here I give ! your own words,) "anything in yours. In reply to the contrary, notwithstaud-; ing." When a controversy upon mat ter of fact reaches the point to which this has been brought, further asser- 1 tion or denial between the immediate ; parties should cease, especially where, upon either side, it loses the character of a respectful discussion, which i.-> re quired by the relations in which the parties stand to each other, and degen erates in tone and temper. In such a, case, if there is nothing to rely upon j hut the opposing statements, conclu sions must ho drawn from the_ stide ments alone, and from whatever intrin sic probabilities they aft'ord in favor of or against either party. I should not shrink from this test in | the controversy, hut fortunately it is ! not left to this test alone. There were I five Cabinet officers present at the con versation, the detail of which, in my letter of he 28th ultimo, you allow yourself to say contains "many gross misrepresentations." These gentlemen heard that conversation, anu have read nay statement. They speak for them selves ; and I have the proof, without a word of comment- I deem it proper, j before concluding this communication, | to notice some ot the statements con- j tained in your letter. You say that a j performance of the promise alleged to; nave been made by you to the Presi-; dent "would have involved a resis-; tance to law and an inconsistency with i the whole history ot my connection with ttie suspension of Mr. Stanton," You then state that you had fears the President would, on the removal of Mr. Stanton, appoint some oue in his place who would embarrass the army in carrying out the reconstruction acu, and add: "it was to prevent such an | appointment, that I accepted the office 1 of Secretary of War, ad interim , and not for the purpose of enabling you to get rid of Mr. Stanton by mv with holding it from him in opposition to law, or, not doing so myself, SUIT ti llering it to one who would, as tiie statement and assumptions in your communication plainly indicate was sought." ... - | First of all, you hereadmit that from the very beginning of what you term "the whole history" Bf your connection with Mr. Stanton's suspension, you in tended to circumvent the President. It was to carry out that intent that you accepted the appointment. This was in your mind at the time of your accep tance. It was not, then, in obedience to the order of your superior, as has b?en heretofore supposed, that you as ! sumed the duties of the office. You knew it was tlie President's purpose i to prevent Mr. Stanton from resuming i the office of Secretary of War, and you j intended to defeat that purpose. 4 You accepted the office, not in tiie interest of the President, but of Mr. Stanton. If this purpose, so entertain ed by you, had been confined to your self; if, when accepting this office, you had have done so with a mental reser vation to frustrate the President, it would have been a tacit deception. In the ethics of some persons such a course is allowable. Rut you cannot stand upon that questionable ground. The "history" of your connection with the transaction, as written by yourself, place you in a different predicament, and shows that you not only concealed your design from the President, hut induced him to suppose that you would carry out his purpose to keep Mr. Stanton out of office by retaining it yourself, after an attempted restora tion by the Senate, so as to require Mr. Stanton to establish his right by judic ial decision. I now give that part of this 4 'history," as written by yourself in your letter of the2Bth ultimo: "Some time after 1 assumed the duties of Secretary of War ad interim, the President asked me my views as to the course Mr. Stanton would have to pursue, in ease the Sen ate should not concur in his suspension, to obtaiii possession of his office. My reply was, is substance, that Mr. Stan ton would have to appeal to the courts to reinstate him, illustrating my po sition by citingthe ground I had taken in the case ol the Baltimore police com missioners." Now, at that time, as you admit in your letter of the 3d instant, you held "the office for the very object of defeat ing an appeal to the courts. In that letter you say that in occupying the office one motive was to prevent the President from appointing some other person who would retain possession, and thus make judicial proceedings necessary. You know the president was unwil ling to trust the office with any one who would not, by holding it, compel Mr. Stanton to re>ort to the courts. You perfectly understood that in this interview, "some time" after you ac cepted the office, the President, not contented with your silence, desired an expression of your views, ami you answered him that Mr. Stanton "would have to appeal to the courts." If the President had reposed confi dence before he knew your views, and that confidence had been violated, it might have been said he made a mis take ; hut a violation of confidence re posed after tnat conversation was no mistake of his, nor of yours. It is the tact only that needs be stated, that at the date of this conversation you did not intend to hold the office with the purpose of forcing ;Mr. Stanton into court, but did hold it then and had ac cepted it to prevent that course from being carried out. In other words, you said to the President, "that is the proper course," and you said to your self, "I have accepted the office, and now hold it to defeat that course." The excuse you make—a subsequent paragraph of that letter of the 28th ultimo—that afterwards you changed your views as to what would bea prop er course, had nothing to do with the point now under consideration. The point is that before you changed your views you had secretly determined to do the very thing which at last you did—surrender the office to Mr. Stan ton. You may have changed your views as to the law, hut you certainly did not change your views as to the course you had marked out for your self from the beginning. I will only notice one more statement in your letter of the 3d inst., that the perfor mance of the promises which, it is alleged, were made by you, would have involved you in the resistance ol law. I know of no .-tatute that would have been violated had you, carrying out yourpromises in good laith, tender ed your resignation when you con cluded not to be made a party in any legal proceedings. You add; "I am in a measure confirmed in this conclu sioy by your recent orders directing iue to disobey orders from the Secre tary of War, my superior and your su bordinate, without • having counter manded his authority to issue the or ders I am to disobey." On the 24th ultimo you addressed a note to the President requesting, in writing, an order given to you verbally five days before, to disregard orders from Mr. Stanton as Secretary of War until you "knew troin the President himself that they were his orders." Oil the29th, in compliance with your request, I did give you instructions in writing "not to obey any order* from the War Department assumed to he Is sued by the direction of the President, | unless such order is known by the gen eral commanding the armies of the U nited States to have been authorized by ; the Executive." There are some orders whi -h aSeere- j tsry of War may issue without the; authority of the President; there are , others which Jie issued simply as the, agent of the President, and wnich pur ports to he "by direction" of the Presi- ! dent. For such orders the president is responsible, and lie should thereibre know and understand what they are! before giving such "directions." Mr. Stanton states, in his letter of the 4th inst., which accompanies the publish ed correspondence, that he "has had| no correspondence with the President since the I2tli August hen;" and he further says that since he resumed the | duties of the office he has continued to j discharge them "without any personal or written communication with the Presidentand he adds!, "no orders have been issued from tlii- department in the name of the President with my knowledge, and I have received no orders from him." it thus seems that Mr. Stanton now discharges the duties of the War Department without any reference to the President and without Using hjs| name. My order to you had only reference to orders "assumed to he issued by direction of the President." It would appear from Mr. Stanton's letter that you have received no such orders from )llm, However, in your note to 111e President of the 30th ultimo, in which you acknowledge Hie receipt of the written order of the 29th, you say that you have been informed by ijr. Sjian-| ton that iielias not received any tiKH-r limiting his authority to issue orders to theariny according to the practice of the Department, and Mate that "while this! authority tothe War Department Is not j countermanded, it will be stisfuctory evidence to me that any orders issued from the War Department by direction of the President are authorized by the Executive." The President issues an order to you 1 to obey no order from the War Depart- j ment, purporting to he made "by the direction of the President," until you have referred it to him for his appro val. You reply that you have receiv ed the President's order and will not ol>ey it, but will obey an order purpor j ting to be given by his direction if Tt | Ctmes from the War Department. \ o;i will not obey the direct order of* the President, but- will obey his indirect : order, if, as you say tliere has been a practice in the war Department to! issue orders in the name of the Presi-1 dent, without his direction, does not. the precise ord< r you have requested and have received change the practice as to the general of the army? Could not the President conn ermand any I such commands issued to you from the ; War Department? If you should re-j ; ceivean order from the War Depart- I ment, issued in the name of the Presi i dent, to do a special act, and an order from the President directly, not to do the act, is there a doubt which you ought to obey? You answer the question when you say to the President, in your letter of the 3d instant, the Secretary of War is "my superior and your subordinate,'' and yet you refuse obedience to the superior out of deference to the subor dinate. Without further com ment up on the subordinate attitude you have assumed, I am at a loss to know how you can release yourself from obedience to the orders of the President, who is made by the constitution commander in-chief of the army and navy, and is, therefore, the official superior as well of the General of the Army as of tiie Sec retary of War.

Sir: I am in receipt of your letter ol February,calling my attention to the correspondence published in the Chron icle between the President and Gener al Grant, and especially to that part 01 it which refers to the conversation be tween the President and General Grant at the Cabinet meeting 011 Tuesday, the 14th of January, with a request that I state what was sai l in that conversa tion. In reply, I have the honor to state that 1 have read carefully the corres pondence in question, and particularly the letter of the President to General Grant, dated January 31, 18G8. The following extract from your let ter of the 31*t of January to General Grant is, according to my recollection, a correct statement of the conversation that took place between the Preside n and General Grant in the Cabinet meet ing 011 the 11th of January last. In the presence of the Cabinet the Presi dent asked General Grant whether "in conversation which took place after his appointment as secretary of War ad interim lie did not agree either to remain at the head of the War Depart ment and abide any judical proceed ings that might follow tiie non-concur rence by tlie Senate in Mr. Stanton's suspension, and should he wish not to become involved in such a controver sy, to put the President in the same position with repeet to the ojfice as hej occupied previous to General Grant's appoint ment,by returning it to the Pres ident in time to anticipate such action by the Senale." "This General Grant admitted. The President then asked General Grant ii at the conference on the preceding Sat urday hp had not, to avoid misunder standing, requested Genoflll Grant to statewhat fie intended to do; and fur ther, if in reply to that inquiry he (Gen eral Grant) had not referred to theii former conversations, saying that from them the President understood his po sition. and that his (Genera! Grant's) action would be consistent with the un derstanding which had "been reached. To these General Grant replied in the affirmative. The President asked Gen era) Grant if at the conclusion of their interview<;H 'Saturday it was not un-1 derstood that they were tohaveanoth J er conference on Monday, before IF; nal action by the Senate in the ease of Mr. Stanton. General Grant replied that such was the understanding, hut that he did not suppose the Senate would act so soon : that on Monday he had been engaged in a conference with General Sherman, am} was occupied with "many little matters," and asked "ifGenera! Sherman had riot called on that dav." I take this mode of complying with the request contained in the President's letter to me, because my attention Inc hed! called to the subject before, when the correspondence between the Presi dent and General Grant was under con sideration , Very respectfully, your obediant ser vant, AI.EX \NDKR W. RANDALL, Postmaster General. DEPARTMENT OE THE INTERIOR, I Washington, D. C. Feb. G, 18G8,) Sir: I am in receipt of yours of yes terday calling my attention to a corres pondence between yourself and Gener al Grant published in the Chronicle newspaper, and especially to that part of said correspondence-"which referred to the conversation between the Presi dent and General Grant at the Cabinet meeting on 1 uesday, the 14th of Janua ry," and requesting me "to state what was said in that connection." In reply, I submit the following statement: At the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, the Mill January, 1868, General Grant appeared and took his accustomed scat at the board. When lie had been reached in the order of business, the President asked him, as usual, if he had anything to present. In reply the general, after referring toa note which he had that morning address ed to the President, enclosing a <o>y of the resolution of the Senate refusing to concur in the reasons for the suspeie sioti of Mr. Stanton, proceeded to say that he regarded his duties as Secretary of War ad interim terminated by that resolution, and that he could not law fully exercise such duties for a moment aft< r~ the adoption of the resolution reached him last night, and that this morning lie had gone to the War de partment, entered the secretary's room, bolted one door on the inside, locked the other on the outside, deliv ered the key to tiie adjutant general, 'and proceeded to tiie headquarters of the army and addressed the note above mentioned to the President, informing him that lie (General Grant) was no longer Secretary of War ad interim. The President expressed great sur prise at the course which Gen. Grant had thought proper to pursue, and, ad dressing himself to the General, pro ceeded to, say in substance, that he had anticipated such action on the part ofthe Senate, and being very desirous to have the constitutionality of the ten ure-of-oflice bill tested, and his right to suspend or remove a member of the Cabinet decided by tl e judicial trihu nnlsof the country, lie had, some time ago, and shortly after Gen. Grant's ap pointment as Secretary of War ad inter im, asked the General what his action would be in theevent that the Senate should refuse to concur in the suspen sion of Mr. Stanton, and that the Gen eral had then agreed either to remain at the head of the War Department till a decision could he obtained from the court, nr resign the office in o the hands of the President before the ca>e was acted upon by the Senate, so as to place the President in the same situa he occupied at the time of his (Grant's) appointment. The President further said that the conversation was renewed on the pre ceding Saturday, at which lime he ask ed tiie General what he intended to do if the Senate should undertake to re instate Mr. Stanton, in reply to which the General referred to their former conversation upon tne same subject, and said "you understand my posi ion, and my conduct, will be conformable to that understanding:" that he (the General) then expressed a repugnance to.being made a party to judicial pro ceeding, saying that lie wouid expose himself to tine and imprisonment by doing so, us his continuing todischarge the duties of Secretary of War ad inter im after the Senate should have refus ed to concur in the suspension of Mr. Stanton would beaviolaitonoftheten ure-of-offlce bill. That in reply to this he, the Presi dent, informed Gen. Grant he had not suspended Mr. Stanton under the ten ure-of-office bill, hut by virtue of the powers conferred on him by the consti tution. and that as to the tine and im prisonment he, the t resident, would pay whatever fine was imposed, and submit to whatever imprisonment might be adjudged against him, the General. That they continued thecon versation for some time, discussing the law at length, and that they finally separated without having reached a definite conclusion, and with the un derstanding that the General would see the President again on Monday. In reply. Gen. Grant admitted that the conversation had occurred, and said that at first conversation he had given it as his opinion to the President that in the event of non-concurrence by the Senate in the action of the Presi dent in respect to the Secretary of War, the question would have to he decided by the court; that Mr. Stanton would have to appeal to the court to reinstate him in office; that the im would re main in until they could he displaced and the outs put in by legal proceed ings; and that he then thought so, and had agreed that if lie should change his mil d "he would notify the President in time to make another appointment; but that, at the timed' the first conver sation, lie had not looked very closely into the law; that it had recently been discussed by the newspapers, and that this had induced him to examine it more carefully, and tiiat he had come to the conclusion that if the Senate should refuse to concur in the suspen sion Mr. Stanton would thereby be re instated, and i hat lie (Grant) could not continue to act as Secretary of War ad interim without subjecting himself to fine and imprisonment; and that he came over 011 Saturday to inform the President of the change in his views, and did so inform him; that the Pres ident replied that he had not suspen ded Mr. Stanton under the tenure-of office bill, but under the constitution, and had appointed him —Grant—by virtue of the authority derived from the constitution, <kc.; that they contin ued to discuss the matter some time, and finally tie left without any conclu sion having been reached,expecting to see the President again on Monday. He then proceeded to explain why lie had not called 011 the President 011 Monday, sayiegthat he had had a long interview with General Sherman ; ttint various little matters had occupied his time till it was late, and that he did not think the Senate would act so soon, and asked "Did not General Sherman call on you on Monday?" I do not know what passed between the Presi dent and General Grant on Saturday except as I learned it from the conver sation between them at the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, and the foregoing is substantially what then occurred. The precise words used on the occa sion are not, of course, given exactly in the order which they were spoken, hut the ideas expressed and the facts stated are fuithlully preserved and pre sented. 1 have honor to he, sir, with great respect, your obedient servant, O. 11. BROWNING, The President. Mr. Seward writes a long letter which substantially corroborates the statements of the president and Messrs. Welles,McCullocli, liandalland Brown ing. To all of this, Gen.

Grant's ethics, "a lie well stuck to is as good as the truth." lie winds up in the follow ing craw-fishing style: "Disclaiming any intention now, or heretofore, of disobey ingany legal order of the President distinctly communica ted, 1 remain very respectfully your ohediant servant, U.

ANOTHER REVOLUTION.— The New- York Journal of Commerce, which has all along been hopeful that the troub les which now beset the country, as the fruit of radical policy, would blow ov er, begins now to take the alarm, So we infer from the following note of warning which it place* conspicuously ai ihehoat| ofits leading editorial col umn : "it looks as if the zeal of those who care more for party supremacy than for the most vital interests ol the coun try, and who would rather ruin the land we love than resign their rule ov er it, wtis about to plunge them head long into a cuui'ae that must end in revolution. Those who have hither to been the most hopeful are now gloomy and despondent, for madness seems to rule tin hour, and the fully of our legislators appears to be without restraint. If the country must pass through the fire before peace and uni ty can be restored, perhaps it may as well come now as ever."

Do \ou feel weak, debilita ted, easily tired ? little extra exertion pro duce palpitation of the heart ? Does your liver, or urinary organs, or your kidneys, frequently get out of order ?
