WILL GRANT Acor.ei?—Under the Re

le-chief of the military reconstruction
of the &math. . Will he, accept a posi
tion which.wilL force him to show on
which side his sympathies- are? We
cannot see What other purpose is to be
accomplished than forcing Grant to do
what be has all along refused to say
If• he accepts the position thus forced
111 ' 1 , 4(1 him by Congress,' he will be ex
pected to
_carry otit allthe provisions
ui the original Reconstruction bill; and
°veil the supplements to the same. If
he does, then all the odium which at
taebes upon the Radicals for the pas
sage of the same will fall equally upon
Gon. Grant if ho executes the same.
As it has been, the President. executes
the law, but in a way that - Congress
.don't like. He tries to appoint Con
servative commanders in all the die
tricts. Grant .is now, if he accepts,
o;s r pootOt1 to do Otherwise ; and as he
does; an will ho be - judged, whether a
Radical era Conservative. According
to the Constitution, the Pregident is
Commander.in•Chief of, the army and
navy; but according to the new Re
construction act of the present Con
gress an officer of the army is selected
for the position. If Congress will in
sist in "working outside of the Con
stitution," then all the evil which re-.
sults front such unconstitutionality will
bo blamed equally upon those who
cause it and those who effect it. We
aro sorry for Grant that be is thus twis
ted by Congress; but we are more sor
ry for the people that they have suob
arrogating representatives in the Leg
islature of the nation.

When the tenure of office bVI was
under discussion in the Senate:hist ses
sion, Mr. Williams, of Oregon, said
that he bad •"no7doobt-that any Cal+
not minister, Who,het„.cla particle of self
respect, would decline to remain in the
Cabinet after the President had signi
fied to him that his presence was no
longer needed ;" and, during the same
discussion, Senator Sherman, of Ohio,
gave it as his opinion that uno gentle
man, NO MAN WITH ANY SENSE OF HONOR,
W0111,(1 hold a position as Cabinet offi
cer after his . chief had desired his remo
val." - Mr. Sherman said further that,
"if he supposed that either of: those
gentlemen (referring to the Secretaries
of War, of the Navy, and of State) was
so wanting in.manhood IN HONOR, as to
held his place after the politest intima
tion by the President of the United
States that bis services were no longer
needed, lie certainly, as a senator,
would consent to his removal at any
time, and eo would they (the senators)
all." With these words of theirs' on
record, Senators Williams and Sher
man, and the rest of the Republican
Senators voted for Stanton's reinstate
ment !
The following paper, which was
drawn up and presented to Mr. Lin
coln in 1864, is worthy of attention
just now. - This statement was signed
by twenty-five senators, nearly all of
whom are now Radicals. Its language
is emphatic that THE PRESIDENT SHOULD
BE AIRED BY A CABINET COUNCIL SARRE.
ma WITH HIM IN POLITICAL PRINCIPLE
AND GEIVERAUPOLICY : , After this paper
had been signed by the gentlemen
whose names aro given below, it was
presented •to Mr. Lincoln, who Mne
diately requested of Mr. Blair that he
would resign, which he promptly did :
"The theory of our government, the
early and uniform practical construc
tion thereof, is that the . President
should be aided by a Cabinet council
agreeing with him in political princi
ple and general policy, and that all im 7
portant measures and appointniente
should be the result of their combined
wisdom and deliberation, This most:
obvious and necessary condition of
things, without which no admninistra
tion• can succeed, we and the
believe does not exist, and therefore
such selectionsand changes in its mem
bers should be made as will secure to
the country unity of purpose and ac
tion in all material, and essential re
spects,- more eapecially,i9a.the present
crisis of public affairs.
Tho,Cabinot should he exclusively
composed ,of statesmen who are the
cordial, resolute, unwavering support
ers of, the principles , and purposes,
above mentioned.
This statement was signed by the
following United States Senators:
James Dixon, and L. S. Foster, of
Connecticut ;, 0. IL Browning and Ly
man Trumbull, of Illinois; James Har
lan and J. W. Grimes, of Iowa; S. C.
Pomeroy, of Kansas; Lot M. Morrill
and W. P. Fessenden, of Maine; 11. B.
Anthony, .of Rhode Island ; Solomon
Foot and Jacob Collamer, of Vermont;
Charles Sumner and Henry Wilson, of
Massachusetts; Zachariah Chandler, of
Michigan; Daniel R. Clark and John
P. Hale, of New Hampshire; Preston
King and Ira Harris, of New York ;
Benjamin F. Wade and John Sheraton,
of Ohio; David Wilmot and Edgar Cow
an, of Pennsylvania; J. R.Doolittic
and T. 10. Howe, of Wisconsin."
The reador can make his own corn:
month upon the facts given above. We
think. Hon. Senators . ean"be, as ehtinge
able as other moo. If their opinions
were right Men, we cannot see why
the same opinions would not be right
now.'
Lteirlt is very clever to every reading
man that the Radicals in Congress do
not intend to take any.step backward.
Where auoh extremes will soon land
the Republican party and our whole
people, It is not-very difficult to toll.
We had hoped that it was possible for
Gen. Grant, (believing him to be a
Conservative standing between two
extreme political factions controling
parties,) to prevent
.serious national
difficulties, bat we now fear that he
will give way to the pressure made
upon him and that he will be used by
extremists to keep alive the political
passions that have already almost com
pletely prostrated the industry of our
country. What made Gen. Grant most
popular with the people as a candidate
for the Presidency was that they be
lieved ho was not in sympathy with
either the radical Republicans or radi
cal Democrats. If he should' act in
harmony with either extreme in the
future ho cannot expect to retain the
confidence of his first friends. Ex
tremes beget extremes. Peace, we
fear, is afar off. •
The New Reconstruotien
The first elauseof the new Reconstruc
tion act declares that neither the Ex
ecutive nor the courts shall recognize
the pretended State Governments cre
ated under Mr. Johnson's military
proclamation as valid. '.

The second section places the five
military districts under the command
of General Grant, but in no way • dis
turbs the previous and necessary sub
ordination of Gen. Grunt to the Presi
deist, or interferes with his supremacy
as Commander-in-Chief of the Army
and Navy.
The third section repeals those
clauses of the Reconstruction act which
authorizes the President to appoint
civil officers at the South, and author
thelGeneral of the Army to ap
point them.
-
The fourth section forbids the Presi
dent to use the Army and Navy in de
fense of the abolished provisional gov
erments.
The fifth section renders any person
who interferes with the orders of the
General•in-Chief liable to punishment
as for a high misdemeanor.-11 1 : Y. Tri

Johnson, Grant and Stanton,
The Republican press very generally
approve the course yacen•by General
Grant andlf.r. Stanton in the difiloultY
growing out of the reinstatement of
Mr. Stanl4 - fi a 8 Secretary of War. The
Democratic prom take an opposite po
etical. The following article upon the
subject is-from the Philadelphia Daily
News, a National Union paper, opposed
to the extremes of both parties;
"Mr. Stanton is a lawyer, and has
been Attorney General of the United
States. When the tenuro of office bill
was first passed by Congress, and when
the President was preparing WS veto
message, Stanton took strong ground
against it, and furnished the points in
the message against the bill. This is a
well known fact, which Stanton him
self does not deny. Yet he has been
re-instated in the War Office, and ho
holds his unenviable position by virtue
of this same tenure of office bill. .
General Grant surrendered the place
of Secretary •of War to Stanton be
cause.he (Grant) understood the ten
ure of office law to require biin'to do
so, although be know that Stanton
himself bad placed his opinion on rec
ord against the constitutionality, of
that law, and knew that it was at vari
ance with the established practice of
the government and with the opinion
of the best and wisest statesmen of the
country / including the men who fram
ed the Constitution. Knowing this,
why should General Grant have con
stituted himself the Supreme Court,
and virtually adjudicated and decided
the question himself, especially as be
had promised the President to hold
possession of the office until the ques
tion could be settled by the Supreme
Court? General Grant bad no right
to exorcise any discretion in the mat
ter. He was acting as Secretary of
War ad interim, by order of his:superior
officer, and had no right to leave his
post until ordered by that superior
officer to do eo; neither bad ho any
right to surrender it to the keeping of
another. It was his business to remain
where be was placed, and to retain
possession of the office until ordered
to,leave it by the "commander in•chief
of army and navy of the United
States." Grant, in surrendering to
Stanton and deserting his post, viola
ted the "first duty of a soldier"—obedi
ence—and rendered himself liable to
the punishment duo to "disobedience
of orders" and, under the circumstan
ces of his treachery' to the President,
"conduct unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman."
Important from Washington.
The following is the resolution adop
ted, by the Senate in Mr. Stanton's
case:_.
Resolved, That haVing considered.
the evidence and reasons given by the
President iu his report of the 13th of
December, 1867, f:n , the suspension
from the office of Secretary of War of
E. M. Stanton, the Senate do not con
cur in such suspension.
Certified copies of this resolution
wore placed in the hands of Gen. Grant
and Mr. Stanton on Tuesday morning
the 4th. At 10 o'clock on the same
day Ur. Stanton called at the War
_Department and Gen. Grant retired,
leaving Mr. Stanton in possession as
before his removal by the President.
The Washington Iptelligencer of the
15th gives the following as the Presi
dent's version of the Stanton affair:
'The circumstances of the reoccupa
Lion of the War Department by the
deposed Secretary astonished no - one
more than President Johnson, who
was greatly surprised at the surrender
by General Grant of tho trust reposed
in him as Secretary of War ad interim.
In justification of the President, we aro
at liberty to state the following addi
tional circumstances, from which our
readers will draw their own conclu
sions: Some time after the appoint
ment of General Grant as Secretary of
War ad interim, he had a conversation
with the President upon the probability
of the refusal of the Senate to recog
nizo the suspension of Mr. Stanton,
when General Grant stated that, in
that event, ho might not wish to in
dentify himself with either party in
the controversy, but added in effect,
'I shall in that event either hand yon
my resignation as aoting 'Secretary,
Or let amandamus be issued against me
to surrender the office! This conver
sation was renewed from time to time,
and on last Saturday, when Senator
Howard's report from the Senate Com
mittee on Military Affairs in favor of
making Stauton's suspension final was
under discussion, he reiterated the pro
mise previously made, that he would
hand in his resignation as Seeretary
of War ad interim early enough for the
Prceidont to appoint his successor,
or take any other action he might
deem requisite, or allow a mandamus
to be served upon him for the surren
der of the office, adding a promise to
the President that . ho should hear from
him on the subjec on Monday. .1kIon•

munieation. On Monday evening, af
for it was known that the Senate had
passed. Iloward's resolutions, refusing
to recognize the suspension of Stanton
as Secretary of War, General, Grant
was present at the reception at the
Executive Mansion, where be greeted
the President, but mentioned nothing
of any change in the determination
previously declared. TEre President
heard nothing whatever from General
Grant upon the subject until 12 o'clock
Tuesday, two hours after Mr Stanton
had taken possession of the War Office,

Jan. 15.—The Senate to-day passed
the Mouse bill to stop further contrac

The correspondent of the' Pittsburg
Commercial, .writing to-day says
General Grant on being shown the
President's statement to-day declares
that at the interview on Saturday, ho
did say ho had not changed his mind,
and also gave the President distinctly
to understand that 'in the ease be [Gem
Grant] received from the Senate an of-•
ficial notification' that that body did'
not concur in the reasons given by
the President for Ur. Stanton's rem ,
val, he [Grant] would be bonnd under
the tenure of office act to at once with
draw from the War Department, and
cease his duties as Sceretaky of War
ad interim.
The President informs your eorres
pondent that ho did not so understand
General Grunt. If ho had known such
was his intention, 14 should have re
lieved Grant at onco, and placed a man
in the War Departaiont who would
not have given up to Stanton and thus
the matter stands.
A. correspondent of the Philadelphia
Post;Jan. 15, says have official
authority for stating that Generals
Grant and Sherman waited on Mr.
Johnson to-day, and informed him
that they had advised Mr. Stanton to
send in his resignation as Secretary of
War, and asked hint what he should
do in the event of the Secretary's tak
ing such action. The President was
non-committal in his replies, and said
that he bad no sitgg,sstion to offer on
the subject. They had a very pleas
ant interview, anti at the close both
the Generals told the President that
they would go to Mr. Stanton, and talk
with hint on the .subject of resigning.
They called on Mr. Stanton, but the
result of the interview has not trans
pired. There is a very intense feeling
manifested by Congressmen on the sub
jest, many of them affirm that, should
Mr. Johnson dare ignore Mr. Stanton
and direct that no official relations be
held 'with him, ho will be impeached on
sight; and if any subordinate d4reftlg,
nor° Mr. Stanton officially, ho be
impeached."
