From the N. Y. Tribune.
Washington, Friday, August 23, 1S67. Since
tbe recent transactions of the President in re
moving Btanton and Hberldan, and getting up
tbe Hinckley correspondence and other like
rnatterH, letters have been received here by
Erorulnent Republican politicians from mem
en of Congress, which slate that the only
remedy left, to insure Reconstruction, is the
Impeachment of the President, These letters
are significant, from the fact that several of
them are from members who, at the last ses
sion of Congress, were known as Conservatives
and opponents of impeachment. They further
state that prominent movers in lmpeaohment
are busy at work, and are already canvassing
among the members to test the feeling on the
bubject.
Your correspondent, who has for some days
known the character of the correspondence
between tbe President and General Grant,
relative to the suspension of Secretary Stanton
and the removal of General Bherldau, but en
joined nevertheless to make no menilou of the
matter, because Mr. Johnson regarded it as not
Intended by General Grant for publication. Is
now permitted to say simply that tbe General's
letters are marked private, and therefore only
does the President withhold the matter from
the press. In tbe first instance it wus not ex
pected that the subject would assume the form
of official correspondence. Just before the sus
pension of Btanton, Mr. Johnson had a conver
sation on the subjectwltb General Grant, and the
latter, shortly after leaving, sent a letter to the
President, giving reasons why he thought the
contemplated action had better be abandoned.
To this no reply was made by Mr. Johnson.
When the order for the removal of Bherldim
was sent to Grant, a note accompanied it, in
forming the latter that if he had any sugges
tions to make Mr. Johnson would be glad to
hear them. The purpose of this no.e was to
know whether probably some otner successor
for Sheridan might not be named. General
Grant replied by an argument against any re
moval at all. To this the President answered
somewhat at length. The character of the cor
respondence on both sides was energetio and
nrm, dui courteous witnau
Official notice has been received by the Pre
sident that General Thomas is too ill to admit
of his transfer to New Orleans without great
risk. If in a few davs there shall be no im
provement in the health of General Thomas,
tne order recently issuea win db tuwreu uy con
tinuing him In command of of the Department
of the Cumberland, and assigning 'Hancock to
the command of the Fifth District, and Sheri
dan to tbe Department of the Missouri. The
President has no intention or malting wnote-
sale removals of the other district. comman
ders, as suggested in some Quarters. So lar as
Sobofleld and Ord are concerned, there is posi
tively ' no such purpose, nor is it at an iikeiy
that "ope will oe aisturDeu, uuu-ns u uu
hereafter commit some act which Mr. Johnson
deems flugrantly wrong. As. to Sickles, there is
a strong probability of his being relieved.
The lollowlne statement, in response to an
inquiry, has been obtained from a gentleman
who Is in a position to speak with a knowledge
of all the facts upon the subject: On the 14ih
instant tbe Instructions sent to General Sickles
excepting United States Courts rrem the opera
tion of military orders, were suspended until his
report and views upon the matter could be re
ceived. On the 17lh the commanding officer of
Wilmington reported that the Attorney-Gene
ral had instructed tne Marsnai lor norm Caro
lina to proceed to enfarce executions of the
United elates court, tnreatening prosecution
against persons preventing him. Instructions
were issued to Colonel Frank by General
Sickles not to permit the order of any Court to
be eniorcea in violation 01 existing muiutry or
ders, and to report fully upon cases pending.
These occurrences having been reported to the
War Department, the instructions originally
sent to General Sickles have been withdrawn.
The recent newscaDer rerjorts about a great
meeting of conservative politicians in this city,
who put up Mr. Johnson and General Shermun
as their candidates for the Presidency, is all
stuff. The other evening three politicians of
.Louisiana, of the smallest calibre, met la a
room and nominated the gentlemen named
above. One of the three, named Frlsbee, Is a
candidate for Collector of New Orleans.
Tbe other two, like Frlsbee, are adhe
rents of King Cutler's disappointed crowd
of politicians, who are constantly con
structing Cabinets and concocting stories
about Secretary McCulloch, whom they
cannot use. They resorted to all kinds
of tricks to have this officer removed, but
without success. They, as a last resort, hit upon
the dodge of renominating Air. jonnson, mint
ing the President will bite at that, and favor
their pet scheme. A committee ot two was
appointed, one member to go to Mr. Johnson,
Wltn instructions to get iroin una a tenor ao
Dentins the nomination, and the other member
to go to New York and endeavor to raise John
son ClUDB tnrouguout me oiaiu. ouci v,ox
has been selected as tbe Democrat having the
largest influence, and to him a letter of intro
duction hag been given. This crowd, composed
In all of about a dozen men, are the sole authors
of this nomination, which is made so much of
by Mr. Johnson's organ and other newspapers.
Vhe Removal of Btanton and Bherldan
A Talk with tne rresiaent ueneral
Orant's Part in the Transaction Two
Reasons for Sheridan's Removal Govs.
Wells and Throckmorton Abused.
The Washington correspondent of the Boston
Tost telegraphs the following:
"In a pleasant conversation or some length to-day
nith Praniiiant Johnson. 1 remarked tbat be was
charged with bavlug removed Mr. Stanton in order
to obstruct tne exocuwuu ui xei;uuBtrucuuu acta
of Congress. He asked what Mr. btautou bad to do
with I lie execution or non-executlou of tbese acts.
These acts centred tbe power lu tbe hands of Gene
ral Urant, and be bad placed Grant over tbe War De
partment, lie could not understand bow this change
per execution 01 uie jwuuuaHutHuo iuwb. iub
President further remarked tbat at one time General
Grant strongly intimated that unless Mr. Htauton
aa be could be of no possible use, in view ot Mr. Stan
ton's overbearing and dictatorial conduct, Tbe Pre
sident advised him to have a talk with tbe Secretary
of War and perhaps tbey would understand each
other better. Tie agreed, however, with the Ueneral,
that Mr. Btanton ought to be removed, and he then
iuuulred of General Grant If be would take charge of
the Department in the event of a change. The lat
ter nrf.Haad his entire willingness to do so. I re
ferred to the rumor that tbe General had eventually
nrnttwttid airalust the removal, and the President
fra. klv "saEf such was the case; that the General had
written him a very kind but earnest private
note In which he had intimated bis tears of
anarch v 11 I not revolution, should Secretary utantoa
be suoeneded Yet, is we could not appreciate the
General's feaVs on this score, he bad directed tbe
chanae. I then told him that tbo i same charge was
made against him for removing General Sheridan,
and that many supposed his purpose was to prevout
a due eaSoutlon i the law This he thought , was
quite as aonurd as the other, as the law was the same
whether Thomas or Bherldan was In command.
What dlftVrence could It make who executed the
law? Could auyone question the ability i or patriot
ism of General Thomas? I then asked why General
bherldan was removed. Mr. Johnson said there
were two good causes, but only one bad been con
sidered; the first one was rather of personal
ciiAiaUer, and. bod beea ovwlgolwa. The tela-
gram of the 23d ot Jnne, which was so disrespectful
to the Eiecutlve, hal been claimed ov Gnnerxl
Grsntto bee private telegram to himself, and i fiat
no otllclal notice ot Its existence had ever yet reaohe'l
tbe President. But the second ground for the re
moval of General Hhirlilan was the exercise of
powers he did not posie-s, and the exercise ot his
legitimate powers In an arbitrary and oil'enslve man
dh. 1 asked if be would be kind enough to designate
what acts he Included under the latter clause.
He paid tbat the removal of Governor Weils was en
tirely uncalled lor and unjustifiable. Governor Wells
had placed at General Hherldan's disposal the
whole civil machinery of the Slate to Mil
blm In the execution of the Reconstruction
acts. Nor had the latter ver Indicated or pointed
out a single act or word ot the Governor which was
calculated to embarrass him In the proper execution
of his outy. On the other hand. General Sheridan
had endeavored to execute the law as a partisan, and
had adopted Radicalism as the onlytruewwt of loyalty.
Ills Bole purpose seemed to be to secure negro supre
macy ariddegraile the whites, and for such conduct I
deemed It my duty to relieve hlmfiom that command.
I Inquired if he did not think OovernorThrockmorton
had attempted to thwart the General In a properexe
culion of the law. He answered emphatically, "No.
sir; the records prove the reverse. The Governor ot
Texas al-o placed the whole civil machinery ot his
Stale at the disposal of tbe military power, and aided
It in every way possible, except In the manufacture
ot a radical majority of voters, and In securing negro
supremacy. 1 bis was Governor Throckmorton's
Binning, and tor which he was arbitrarily removed by
General Bherldan." I said to the President that his
views as to the proper execution of the Reconstruc
tion acts were not clearly understood by tbe people,
and tbat I would like to hear them. He answered
that he could express them in a few words. He de
sired a falrreglsiration of I'll qualified voters, without
regard to race or color. He did not wish to give any
advantage to tbe white men, but much lews was he
fllHpi'Sed to make them the slaves to the negroes.
Where the negroes had the majority, as
in Foiilh Carolina. he wished them to
exercise the power; where the white
vole was in the majority, as in Texas, he desired
tbnt white majority to control. He wanted ouly the
law to be fairly executed with equal chance to all.
This was being denied them by ueneral Bherldan,
and his manner and mode or acting was fast famlll
llnrl.lng the people with the tyranny of despotic
government, f remarked that the public would not he
able to understand why he struck down despotism In
one department and yet suffered It to continue In
another. He replied tbat other changes would he likely
to follow very soon. A proper investigation was now
holnir marie Into inn conduct of ftnn nr twn nthnr
commanders who, it was charged, were playing the i
autocrat, me rresiuent expreasea me greatest a p
prehension as to the future ot our Goverument, yet
said he still relied on the good sense and patriotism of
tbe people. In his speech In the United Stales Senate,
In December. 18fi0, Mr. Johnson said be had denounced
the party who would break up the Government in
order to preserve slavery, and he had also denounced
those who would destroy the Government In order to
abollshl slavery; he was equally opposed to both ex
tremes now, and his only wish was for a speedy re
turn of fraternal relutlons among tbe States."
THE OIL FIRE AT MONTREAL.
Mlddleton's Warehouse and Contents
Consumed-600,000 Gallons of Oil De
stroyed. From the Montreal Gazette, August 20.
Between 12 and 1 o'clock on Sunday morning,
August 18, tire was discovered in one of Middle
ton's coal oil stores on the line of the Grand
Trunk Station. Tbe store was abont 800 feet
long and 200 feet wide (we judge these figures
from the eyel, and contained, we are Informed,
15,000 barrels of coal oil, each barrel containing
40 gallons, and making 600,000 gallons. The bos
was laid, but the firemen found that they could
do very little good inside the building, for the
barrels began rapidly to burst, and blow
out tbe roof, which was covered over
with sods and earth for better protection
from the fire without. These barrels
as they burst scattered the t fire around. The
bursting of course went on with increased
rapidity as tbe heat became Intense within,
and shortly hundreds and thousands went
together. We should explain that beneath this
building the St. Pierre creek runs towards the
city in a northerly direction. Over this creek,
and commencing at a distance of about two
hundred yards from the coal oil shed, many
hundreds of buildings are erected on wooden
sleepers, in fact, it pusses through a very
populous suburb; and here lay a source of terri
ble danger. The barrels, as they burst, poured
the fiery liquid Into this stream, bearing it
towards the city, which was only 200 yards off.
This roaring flame, on tbe surface of the creek,
which, from the sudden pouring out of thou
sands of barrels of oil, overflowed its natural
bank, making a stream of forty or fifty feet wide
and a foot deep on tbe banks whpre it had over
flowed, went slowly rolling forward, a column
of tbe most furious fire, threatening the entire
suburb. The whole city was illuminated, and
we are Informed by passengers who came up
by the boat that they saw the light thirty
miles off.
On the other side of the railway track, within
forty feet, were two other ooal oil stores, con
taining 20,000 barrels of coal oil and benzine.
To save these other stores, and to prevent at the
same time the fire rolling into the suburb, was
the object of the hour, and the crisis was su
preme. To arrest the column it became evident
that nothing but stopping the current of water
above, and throwing up dams or dykes in the
intervening space between It and the city, would
be effectual. This work was accordingly com
menced with extreme energy, men on the spot
working with spades in intense heat, and men
at a little distance from the stream cutting
large sods, which others carried in their arms
and threw on the dam. Before the first dam
could be completed the liquid tire came on, but
it was beld in check for a while by the embank
ment already raised. The men retreated about
a hundred feet, and commenced another. The
beat at this point was very great. The men
suffered greatly, but did not flinch. In about
half an hour the second embankment was com
pleted to tbe height of three feet, and It was
not ready any too soon, for the fiery liquid now
began to overflow tbe first, and came rolling
along against the second. Again the heat com
pelled the men to retreat, and another embank
ment was commenced forty or fifty feet more
distant. The fire, however, did not pass the
second embankment, the back of which was
kept wet by tbe hose playing upon It, to pre
vent the sods from burning and the clay from
crumbling away. A still further embankment
was thrown up at the bridge at Grand Trunk
street, as a measure of ulterior precaution, and
this was the last.

Chief sent word to Mr. Ferry that unless he
could come with assistance from his side, he was
afraid the stores on the opposite side of the
track (which were covered with earth and sods
in the same way as that on fire; oould not be
saved, and with their ignition nothing oould
save the Grand Trunk Works at Point St.
Charles, in tbe immediate vicinity, and a large
portion of the city. Assistance was immedi
ately afforded, but at this point the fire was
most furious. A culvert passed under the track
of the railway connecting the two sides oppo
site the oil stores. Through this culvert
flowed the burning oil, which ran along the
ditch immediately in front of the other stores,
and the fierce flame was within ten feet of their
doors. The peril was very great. All that oould
be done was for tbe firemen to shelter them
selves behind tbe embankment, keep the sods
wet, and throw wator on the doors.
There was a shunting track alongside of the
store which was burned, on which were four or
five cars, and nothing can convey a better idea
of the beat than the appearance which the
remnants of these cars presented after the fire.
The wheels nearest to the sheds, which were of
cast iron, were melted away, and tbe fire which
melted these wheels was not 40 feet distant from
the stores on the opposite side, and, in fact, it
flowed only about 10 feet from their doors. The
fire was set to this store, beyond a doubt, by an
lnoendlary; and we regret to have to state that
the first line of hose which was put down was
cut open by some miscreant within three in lu
ll tes after it was laid. Over a week ago notloe
was given to several of the insurance oltlces,
in writing, that this store would be burned
down, and two of the insurance agents, for
a week past, have had watchmen there. Tbe
value of theoll destroyed Is very great. We don't
know the exact value, but reckoning the 600,000
gallons at a shilling a gallon, we snail have a
value of 1120,000. besides the sheds and oars
burned and damage done to the railway track.
The fire lasted in force from one to eight o'clock.
It is still burning as we write. We understand
Mr. Mlddloton was very slightly Insured. The
oil belonged to various parlies, many of whom
oould not obtain insurance on it. We have
heard it stated that all the insurance com
panies will suffer, and some of them heavily.
It is said the Western, of Kugland, loses tlO.000
or 115,000: the Western, of Canada, $10,000; and
the Home, $10,000 to 112,000. These are the
largest amounts. The others are losers, but not
w great.

The Terrible Hallway Accident at Bray
Head.
Dublin (Aug. 10) Correspondence London Time$.
A railway accident involving loss of life is
happily so great a novelty In this slow-moving
country, that the oltlzeng may well be excused
tor tbe excitement tbey exhibited yesterday
when the news reached town that such ecatas
tropli had occurred at Bray Head. It realized
a fear wfaioh must lurk In the mind of every
one who has ever visited the locality and
watched a train making Us way along the preci
pitous cliffs with the mingled boldness and cau
tion of Alpine climbers. Little effort of the
imagination is needed to Invest with exagge
rated horrors thereportof an accldentoccurrlng
at a spot which seems adapted above all others
by natnre and by art to be the soeneof a plain
resque tragedy. A deep chasm between steep
and rugged headlands is here spanned by a
wooden bridge resting upon piles and pro Leo ted
at the sides by a kind of trellis work. It is a
conspicuous object, and being painted scrupu
lously white, has a pretty effect when looked
down upon from the road which sweeps round
the rocks, but it cannot fall to Inspire as much
alatm as admiration, the means which have
been taken to secure its salely being jastsulll
ciont to reveal its danger. Before reaching It
the up train has to puss through a tunnel, and
nsuahy proceeds at a slow pace. The train
from Ennlscorthy yesterday morning bad
passed safely through, but on reaching about
half way across the bridge the engine
got oft the line, and, shattering to pieces the
trail burner at the side, sprang into the ravine
at the land side, dragging down witn it a intru
ders carriage, which became at once a shape
less wreck. Attached to this were two ottier
third-class carriages, tbe second of which fell
on end, and, its floor semalnlng unbroken,
supported above tbe next carriage, which buns
suspended half on the bridge. It was most
firovldentlal that the engine fell over on the
and side, where tbe depth to the shelving side
of tbe rock was not more than thirty or forty
feet, and tbe descent of the other carriages in
the train was checked. Had it gone over on
the other side it would, in all probability, have
pulled tbe whole train with it. Tbe first symp
tom of the danger w as noticed by tbe guard, who,
reellngsome jergs in tne motion, pressed down
the breaks. His van was the last vehicle, the In
termediate carriages between his and the third
class group being four composite first and
seconu-class. The first of these was slightly
dispiuced. but the rest kept nrmly on. lu the
first shock the occupants of the carriage next
the engine two woman and a man were
flung out, and escaped without any serious
Injury. In tbe next carriage, .which was not
smashed altogether, but turned over, the pas
sengers'were not so fortunate. The telegraph,
however, has conveyed all the material details
of the accident. Tbe sum of tbe casualties up to
the present is one man killed on the spot, two
women reported to have since died, and about
filteeu others more or less seriously Injured. Itls
staled tbat the rails bave been recently relald
at this part of tbe line, and this statement
receives some confirmation from the Directors,
report, issued yesterday, in wnicn tney aocount
for tbelr inability to pay any dividend this half
year by the fact that they had been obliged to
Incur large expenditure In replacing rails and
sleepers on the permanent way. It Is a sug
gestive coincidence that the engine bringing
the 9 P. M. train from Greystones slipped of the
rails at the same point lastDight, and the pas
sengers esteemed themselves happy in having
the privilege of walking to Bray.

The August Meteors.
Note to the Editor of the London Times.
Sir: The August meteors were observed last
night under veryravoraDiecircumsiancesin tills
neighborhood. They appeared as soon as it
was sufficiently dark, but the brilliant moon
and strong twilight prevented any but the
more prominent being distinctly traced until
nearly 10 o'clock.
The following is my register
August 10.7-50 P. M. A SDlendid meteor of
firs magnitude; white, leaving a slight train,
burst like a blue light above Ursa Major.
Three-fourth magnitude, reddish tinge.
1U1U. x eiiowisn; second magnitude, in nearly
reverse direction, from Kenllh towards N. NVV.
1026. Second magnitude, faint train towards
Pol Btfll.
10'29. Fourth magnitude, ditto.
10-40. Second magnitude, through Cassiopeia.
10-42. Second magnitude, yellowish, reverse
direction, to Capella.
10- 65. Third magnitude, towards Bootes.
11. Fourth magnitude, to zenith.
1102. Third magnitude, Cassiopeia to Ursa
Major, nearly at right angles to radiant.
1103. Fourth magnitude, ditto.
11- 10. Second magnitude, Ursa-to Perseus.
Interval not observed.
11-40 A. M. Third magnitude, from zenith to
Jupiter.
103. Ditto.
1 05. Three small meteors In sight together
towards 8. SW.
109. Fourth magnitude, ditto.
114. Ditto.
1-19. First magnitude, burst with brilliant
stream of blue light, near Jupiter.
1-25. Two of fourth magnitude,
1-20. Fourth magnitude.
With the exception of those specially de
scribed, all the meteors radiated from near the
sword in Perseus, as had been announced.
After the interval at midnight when no obser
vations were made. theydid not become visible
until they had passed the zenith., converging
towards tbe S. S.W. horizon. The moon had
then set, and the sky was brilliantly clear.
Tbe magnitudes are given, approximately, on
the scale of tbe fixed stars, Capella and others
being well placed for comparison. The range
both in regard to apparent size and brilliancy
was about tbat of the fixed stars, while the No
vember meteors last year were equal to the
PThetprobable number. If all had been ob
served and noted, would nave been from ten to
twenty per hour throughout the night.

The New York Tribune this morning says:
"Money Is In better supply and Is qnoted at HtiS
fcr cent., with exceptional luaot oo Governments at
eos. In commercial paper there Is more doing espe
cially lu produce billB, upon which buyers expect
lull leKal rates. Tbe bank statement of Monday Is
ex reeled on the street to be more favorable than tbe
last."
The Boston Daily Advertiser says:
"There appears to be no material change In the
tone of tbe money market to day, a lair degree of
sctlvlly. bi.wever, prevailing. Commercial paper
U iiulte freely ottered, and pnmes at from 6 to 7 per
cent, tor tbe bent grades, the principal movement
I elnf at fl.S; to7'i per cent. Call loans rule at Wry
p-r cent., comparatively tew borrowers now finding
accommodatiun at the former rate."
The Chicago Republican of Wednesday says:
"There is no Improvement to note In tbe general '
business of tbe city. Trade outside the produce mar
ket 1b llubt. Tbe money market is daily growing
more active, the demand being from commission
merchants, grain operators, and from interior points.
While there Is no stringency , the market Is close for
all except strictly first-class paper. First-class com
mercial paper; having but a short time to run Is
readily negotiated. The rate of interest Is 10 per cent,
peraunnm. Loans on Government securities can be
made at 8 per cent."
The Cincinnati Gazette of Wednesday says:
"There is a more active demand for money for
regular mercantile purposes, and the drain to tbe
country still continues; currency Is scarce, and it was '
ordered out from New York te some extent. Ia ;
some cases the ofTerlngs of good paper were in excess
of the ability ot bankers to take, and the market
Generally Is working a little closer, although rates of
nterent remain steadily at 8m10 percent, for accept
able paper ot short date, between bankers and tbelr
depositors, and 10(912 per cent, in the open market."
