'Pa lk with Grant—An Ingenions Theory Xxpounded. This being Cabinet day. the-usual batch - of ru mors concerning everything in general relating to removals, resignations,.&c., has been set afloat. None of them are entitled to any credit. The talk between General Grant and the Pres ident concerning their respective rights and duties still occupies public attention and gives rise to a vast amount, cif discussion; but the general opinion here seems •te be that the Presi dent has taken impregnable ground, and com pletely turned the tables on the radicals by his bold assumption of a superior supervising power over the whole reconstruction machinery. Thad. Stevens's late letter, making extraordinary con fessions as to the understanding of Congress when the Reconstruction bills were passed; has had much to do with turning the feeling in favor of the President's policy, and seems to have damaged the radical cause in no slight degree. In the discussions which have arisen on the subject. attention has been called to the difference in the wording of the original order first assign ing the military commanders under the Recon struction laws and the late orders appointing commanders in the Second and Filth districts. In the first order the five commanders are merely assigned to districts. In the Hancock and Canby orders these two generals are assigned to take c(eamand of both districti and "milli r,v d( • irtmcnts." Why this addition of; the words •- ilitary !departments," is a ques tion that' is itiug SOllle interest. The suppo sition is that ,at the President has used these words in ord, r to avoid diniculties that might arise in the Arrying out 01 orders. Should it torn out :If::: the Presiduit has no right to issue orders in certain ea =e, to mere district comman ders. it contended that he would have the right to enforce his orders through these very district commanders in their capacities as commanders of departments. Thus, in case of a difficulty or combet oC authority between General Grant • and the President, the forutet could not move a single soldier con trary to the commands of the Commatnier-in , Chief. who could thus control the arms' and give directions to the department commanders where by the Congressional plan might be wholly obstructed and his own views radically carried Put. This is perhaps merely au 17tgenious theOry; but as it haS heel talked about very extensively it la worth this, Much notice. The change in the wording of the orders has ,some meaning, and perhaps this, theory may be thetrue explanation; j romthe N. T. Time:.) Tire Prestdcnc and G ricral GrAnt. 31r. Johnson has a hard task in furnishing statements in contradiction of what the papers gay about hint, and if the war keeps on he will have to reinforce his corps of correspondents. A statement was set afloat this morn ing simultaneously in the Baltimore ,S'tii; and the New York n ilfitue, identical in language, and to the effect that Gen. Grant has but recently be come aware of the extent of his power under the RecOnstruction acts, and that, as a cons(- quenee. lie was obliged to back down from the position lie took. Now General Grant has not taken any position -from which he has found it, necessary to back down, and, as a consequence, there has been no backing down. It so happens that as long ago as on or ahont the, ~25. th of July, after the jourritnent certain Members of Congress, calling at Gen. GrautTs headquarters, were there apprised. much to their astonishment, that they had not eonferred the power upon Gen. Grant that they supposed they had, and they could only console themselves with the hope that the power they had given the General-in-Chief would be sufficient for any emergency that micht- arise. in contrast with, the President's free intercourse with and use of certain correspondent:, how differeutdoes the course of General Grant appear, who, while treating all with politeness, firmly refuses to have any con versation with them on the subject of his rela tions to or differences with the Executive, while the members of his staff, like himself, are as ; modest and reticent as is becoming to true sol diers, and ns is required by the responsible na ture of their positions. PROPO,EO REINSTATEMENT OF GOV. WELLS As a logical sequence of,the removal of Gen. Sheridan. an effort is already on foot to reinstate Gov. Wells, of Louisiana, for the alleged .object of giving . validity to the four millions of levee bonds. The parties who seek this claim that Wells alone can legally sign • the • bonds, and - as- - sert that the bonds haveibeensnegotiated at sixty six cents, conditional upon Wells's restoration. A pfessure is being brought to bear upon the Pre sident to induce him to countenance this project, and it is not unlikely that he will approve it. The parties who urge this are ex-Attorney General 'Leman. - Judge Abell, Ex-Lieutenant-Governor Voorhees and - other politicians of the rebel stripe. The restoration of Wells for a day even will be sufficient to accomplish their object. But the publit may look for a defeat of their little scheme. Gen. Grant has the.power under the laW to pro hibit the restoration of any officer ffieretofore re moved, and he will undoubtedly exercise it. We shall then see a fair test of the relative powers of Gen. Grant and the President under the. Recon struction Acts. [From the New York World.] The Case of biekles. The Cabinet to-day had before them a com plete record of the proceedings between General Grant and General Sickles, relative to the lattcr's course In North Carolina in interfering with the process issuing from a United States Court, and which eventually led to Sickles's pronipt removal by the President. This record it was decided to publish, and it will be given out in Monday's papers. - The correspondence, however, with General Grant, which -is spicy and in teresting, will not be made public at the same time, though it was read it to-day's Cabinet meeting. It appears from this that when General Sickles's military officers prohibited the execution of a civil pro cess from the United States Court, the United States Distriet-Attorney reported the fact to the Attorney-General, and General Grant was in- ' formed Of it. Believing at that time that he had the power to annul or modify the orders from military commanders, General Grant tele graphed to General Sickles to modify his order No. 10, under which his subordi nates obstructed the United States Courts, so as to obviate such obstructions in future. General Sickles replied to Grant, asking that the latter's order of supervision might be held in abeyance until he (Sickles) could . explain by mall. When this explanation arrived it appeared to be a plausible statement, showing that order No. 10 protected the people from summary exe-. cations for debt, and that it gave great satisfac tion.td the States of North and South Carolina. General (Iraq thereupon telegraphs Sickles the important fact that he withdraws his order to him to modify order No. 10, thus leaving the latter in force. At this remarkable stage of ad'aira, the United States Marshal of North Caro lina steps in and again attempts to serve the civil process, but is resisted by Sickles, by virtue of the continuance in full effect of his order. These facts were reported here, when the Executive di rected the United States District Attorney to procure an indietnient— against one Dan iel E. Sickles for a violation of the criminal law's- rif the. United States in obstructing.74t United States . Court. - General Sickles, hearing of this, at once telegraphed to General Grant in a spirit of fierce denunciation of the . step,- declaring that he (Sickles), 143.C0M. niander of a military districtereated by, an act of Congress, was not amenable to any Grand Jury or united States Marshal or United States -Dia_ trict-Attorney, and intimating that he would answer .to no iunietment founded on that PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 31,..:1867.' charge. It does not appear, I believe, that General Grant answered this but it iloes appear that the President of the 'United States gave an order on last Monday which removed Sickles,and thus vindicated the judicial) , of the government, and secured the execution of a process issued by the highest judicial officer in the land. The fun correspondence, of which the above Is an ab stract, will probably he made public In due time. [From the N. Y, Tribune.] The President has now under. consideration a new amnesty prodamation to rebels in the South. Prominent Southern men, who were known as Unionists during the war, and who are now Johnson men, have been ur;ig this for some time past. They have been aided - by Demo crats of the North, who have influence with Mr. Johnson. Of course, the details are not defi nitely known to any person outside of official circles. It will probably be submitted to the Cabinet next week. Those interested in the mat ter state that the new proclamation will include brigadier-generals. None above colonels are now included. They assert that the provisions of the proclamation will be very liberal, as Mr. Johnson is inclined to grunt nearly all they ask, excepting universal amnesty. They fear, how ever. that his Cabinet will control him, and make it more conservative. - Soon after New Orleans fell into Gen. Butler's hands the Government sent there by vessel SIO -000 worth of postage stamps. The vessel was seized by the rebel steamer Florida, and the stamps sent in the original packages to England via :Nassau, where they were sold to a broker for for about and the purchaser sent them, still in the original- package, to Canada. Our Consul there. ascertaining the facts, "-applied to the Canadian courts for an injunction to prevent the possessor from parting with them, on the ground that -they were stolen, never con demned in any prize court, and therefore still the property of the United States. The Hon. Caleb Cushing has been retained for the government, and Jo-eph A. Ware, the solicitor of the Treasury Deprirtment, has sailed for Europe to obtain the necessary evidence. A letter received here to-day from the Dry Tor tugas. Fla.. savS: There are but few prisoners here n0w. , 15 in all, and two-thirds of them, if not more, are United States soldiers, wirb have been sent here for va rious crimes, principally desertion. The conspi rators are lootzed, like other prisoners, in the second tier of the caremates. Their quarters are coadry and a iry,and command quite as pleasant a view as there is. They manage to live pretty well with their Government rations and what their friends send them. Arnold is employed as a clerk, and suermThtisfied. Spangler and O'Laughlin work at their trade as carpenters. Mudd works now in the carpenter shop, and is getting quite handy with the tools. They are in excellent health, but are a little thinner than is natural for them. They have the benefit of the library, and Mudd and Arnold read some. On the whole, they are much better off thaw they would be anywhere else. Certainly they-are better off than any prisoners I ever saw. THE LANSENGBIURG HORROR. - , The Examination Continued—Arrest of the Three Alleged Prinetitals in the . Terrible Deed—One of them Confesses to flaying Thrown the Young Girl from the Carriage. [From the S. Y. Herald.] • Tni , v; - Au. 30, 1867;—The examination in the Carrie Hubbard case was continued yesterday. afternoon. Oscar. Williams, a young man of twenty, was placed upon .the st,and.. , ard *Witted; that be was a resident of Pittsfoitn had been intimately acquainted with the murdered Carrie Hubbard, she having lived at his father's house, which she left in July last. He had met her fre quently since in New fork, at the house of Mrs. Pamela Wager, the raid-practitioner, in Harrison Place. The interviews with Mrs. Wager. as usual under such circumstances. were strictly private and confidential. Williams being advised that he was bound to break this -. illicit confidence, stated that he had seen Miss Hubbard "at Mrs.Wnger's six-or seven weeks since, that being the first time and place he had met her since she left her father's house. and had seen her fotir or five times since at the same place. Williams professed not to know whether the deceased was a servant or a boarder at Mrs. Wager's. He further admitted that upon first calling at Mrs. Wager's he inquired for Caroline Hubbard, and that at no one of the several in terviews he sought and obtained did he hear that she was'"either sick or anything the matter with her." During the examination the witness was heal tating and inclined to be contradictory,and twice declined•to answer direct 9uestions, but finally yielded. Williams is now in jail, and the further investigation of the case has been postponed to Monday next. As stated previously, a man answering to the name of John Henry, at one time, and John •lienr3,- Wager at others, was taken into' custody by Sergeant King. Ile is said to be a son ofMr. Wager, but this Ido not believe. He freely con fessed quit he was the companion of Miss Hub bard in the carriage at the time of her death in Lansingburg. and that he alone was instrumental in her violent ejection into the street. Thus, it would seem, that one of the inhuman principals in this deed of blood has been secured to answer, for this great crime. Mrs. Pamela Wager. who lied from Troy on the discovery of her alleged connection with the crime, was brought to this citvrfrom the home of her brother, at Kinderhook, 'Columbia county, this noon, by Chief Detective Hurlburt and Ser geant King. Upon her arrival at the jail and . delivery to Sheriff Cornell, she appeared to ex a vast deal of contrition, and finally went oil in a swoon,after a considerable and prolonged scene. She has been placed in the same cell wherein Henrietta. Robinson, the famed veiled murderess. resided previous to her conviction and life sentence at Sing Sing. At this writing Mrs. Wager exhibits more. composure, and be fore morning will probably be calm enough to set about extricating herself from her most unplea sant durance. The funeral of the unfortunate victim of this appalling tragedy took place ut Lansingburg this forenoon. and was largely attended. Hundreds of women belonging to all classes turned out to witness the transit along the streets of the mel ancholy cortege. The remains of the dead were exposed to view, and rarely has a more beautiful .corpse been looked upon. The byes were open and Intelligent, while a benignant smile seemed to play around the mouth, which, added to. the well nigh angelic features, presented a most mournful and touching scene. The intonations of the clergy were impressively solemn, and all the surroundings of the last sad rites were sad indeed. The girl's afflicted mother we's abso lutely stricken down with grief. Mr. John H. Colby and Mr. Robert A. Lott ridge, the former an ex-District-Attorney, and the latter holding that office at the present time, have published a joint card, stating that, after a perusal of an article in a morning paper charg ing official corruption against the prosecuting. officers of this county in relation to the disposf-. tion of indictments previously found against Mrs. Wager, "justice to ourselves compels us • to say that no indictments were over found against Mrs. Wager, nor were any such, indictment or indictments,upon the records of the criminal courts in this county during the terms of either of US . as prosecuting officers of this county. We make this statement from no desire to screen or shield Mrs. Wager from punishment for any offence she may have been implicated in, Wit because, after the edito rial in. this morning's Whip, we shout do our selves great injustice to allow such charges to remain uncontradicted as far ati we are coil ! cerned." ' It is currently- believed, however, that indict- • raents were found against Mrs. Pamela Wager, Dar producing abortions during the official term - of the bite lion.

Warren and , Nagive, A llle eri eangleen lan Prisoners in Ira.. lard—lnteresting Carrompoktdeace onal the Subilettt, it the New York Tribune.) WAsnixoTow. Aug. 30.—The following corres pondence has been furnished : Aran Yom ,'Aug. 16, 1867.—Dear Sir: I have just received a. letter from Col. Jno. Warren, late of the Federal Army, and a citizen of the United States. dated Aug. ftt, and written from the jail in Dublin, where he is confined a . prisoner, without specifisk charges and, as he be lieves, without just grounds. This is but one of many cases where AnleriCan citizens of Irish birth. and some of American birth, are detained by the British i r ,ltAernment under some pretext or other. It a common thing in Ireland for the emissaries of this tyrannical power to arrest and incarcerate in dungeons your own countrymen. for no other reason than that they are your conntrymen. The fact that the person is an American appears to be sufficient justifica tion for the- perpetration of- these wrongs. - This is a . national Insult, which our Government is act at liberty to over look. .Every citizen, whether na tive or adopted, is entitled to protection, and in the present ease the obligation rests upon us with more than ordinary flirce. The reasons which render our Irish adopted citizens so ob noxious to English eyes arc because, as a class. they are so entirely and purely American in their views of republican liberty, and in opposition to despotism. They hate England, because England oppresses their native land and the faith of their fathers. They would be unworthy of their own history, and ilerencrate Americans. If they could feel otherwise, tinder the circumstances. I there fore, Mr. President, respectfUlly but earnestly ask your immediate attention to this subject. I know that other public duties are pressing, but still the urgency of these cases,and the national honor involved, and the duty we owe a largeatriotic and valuable class of our fellow-citizens, et uires prompt action. The neople have tonfic mac m your devotion to the interests of all, without iir‘,...ift, distinction of nationality or cash., and hope that you will Watt aside for a moment from the cares of other public questions to give this immediate thought and official action. Respectfully ; your obedient servant, .., FEnNANDO Wnosi llon. Andrew Johnson. ' The President placed fir. Wood's letter before the Cabinet on 3ionday, the 20th inst., , and Mr. Seward was directed to confer at once with the Mr. Bruce, the British Minister, OR the subject, and to reply to Mr. Wood.

On Thursday eveninv a meeting of the officers of the Circhis of the Fenian Brotherhood com prised Within the Distridt of Manhattan was held , at No. 10 West Fourth street, District-Centre E. L. Carey. Esq., In the chair. After the transac tion of . the usual routine business, a preamble dud resolution _were introditeed,and unanimously adoPted, setting forth the eminent serVices.ren dered to the cause of Ireland by Colonel Roberts,: and providing for a committee to prepare an ad.: dress to be presented to that gentleman. In pursuance of the resolutions adopted at the meeting on Thursday, the officers of the Circles comprised within the District of Manhattan As sembled at the Headquarters of the Fenian Bro therhood yesterday, when the . District Centre, in the name of his brother officers and members, read and presented an address, to which Presi sident Roberts replied as follows: Gentlemen. and linghers—To site that I am over whelmed by the very warm encomiums with which you are pleased to convey your apprecia tion, and that of your associate members, of my humble labors in . the cause of my native land, would be to convey to you but a very inadequate expression of my feelings. I feel that yeur friend ship forme, as a co-laborer in the holy cause 'in ' which we are engaggd, has prompted your warm hearts to place far too high au estimate upon my humble services. I claim to have done nothing but my duty, as I understand it t asking of Heaven , light and strength to gtude my efforts on behalf of an op pressed-and oft-deceived people. Your warm anticipations of the results flowing from a union of the Irish people; a union which is one of the proudest events of my life; have been instru mental in accomplishing, is fully shared by me and my associates. In tact, its importance can not be estimated at present. II is only when the result •of wise and patriotic labors come to be. realized, that will be seen and felt for the benefit flowing from a union of patriotic men, on sound and uncomprom ising principles—a union, singlein its object, and practical in its aims. The organization,. of which -you are a part, stands higher to-day in the esteem and confidence of the Irish people at home, than any similar one since the days of Tone and Fitzgerald; and it remains for you to strengthen and still further justify those feelings, -by following that wise, bold and patriotic course, which has brought your organization safely. through so many difficulties, and placed you in, your present proud ,position. Gentlemen, you, judge me truly when you say that my "hopes extend to a higher eminence, the noblest a patriot can aspire to." Yes, my hopes do ascend to a higher, II grander and a holier eminence; they centre in a nation made free and a race re deemed by their own sacrifices and devotion, and in a land consecrated to freedom and virtue with. the purple cement of Irish hearts; and if it pleases God to make me one of the' humblest in struments in the ranks of Ireland's saviors, my highest hopes and ambition will be tilled to over flowing.`The retharks of the. President were received with repeated rounds otapplause. After the interchange of mutila courtesies and congratulations, the officers of the Brotherhood took their leave. minirs Au St. Louts. ST.

The Recent , Drowning A.Tcident at Georgetown, Mass.—lrbre Fanerall tiCrTICOM. worrosponthsoce of tare Boston POot.) , Ni:wytml PORT, Thursday, Aug. 29, 1867.—To day has been a :Fad- day, and one that, front its mournful associations, will be long remembered. Same account of the disaster at Pentucket Pond, Georgetown, by whleb the lives of three of the -party were lost,' and two nthera narrowly escaped, has already been given. To go more into detail, it appears that a party , of five persons, four members - of the Beecher family and one connected by marriage. left the home of Rev. Charles Beecher about '. -. o'clock Tuesday forenoon, for a sail on tin:por.d, They were seen about 11.15, and in a few moments after the alarm was given that the party were all n the pond. The citizens quickly rallied., but three of the party had disappeared. The two daughters were the youngest children of- Rev. Charles-Beecher, Esther Lyman, aged 15 yeara, and Edithdfarriett, aged 13 years. They were very interesting children, and gave promise• of much usefulness to their parents and friends. Albert Beecher, aged 20 years, was the youngest son of Rev. Edward Beecher. of Galesburgh ; and with an older brother had arrived in George town only the evening previous to the disaster which has curried so much sadness and gloom,to a very large family and circle of.friends. These three sank at once. Eugene Beecher. an elder brother of Albert. was rescued just_as . .„he was disappearing in an unconscious condition. Lockwood Coffin, the fifth of the party clung to- the boat. The bodies of Mr. and the Misses Beecher were not recovered until nearly three hours after the alarm was given. Physicians nod friends Were in readiness, and every means known were used for their reS-tora tion, 'to ifo "purpose,- The family in different sections were notified and there were present to-day Rev. Wm- li. Beecher, of North Brook field, Mass., Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, of Hartford, Connecticut, Mts. John Hooker, of same city, the Venerable , Mrs. Dr. Lyman Beecher, Prof. Wm. Smyth, of Bowdoin College, and Prof. E. C. Smyth and wife, of Andover. Many others would have been present could- the semises have been postponed until they could have reached Georgetown. The church where Mr. Beecher officiates was opened for the cere monies, and was very beautifully draped with emblems of mourning. At 3 o'clock the,remains were brought into the church, after private .sei vices had been held at Mr. Beecher's residence, the Sabbath-school class, of which Mr. Beecher's daughters were _members, pre ceding them. The services were. conducted by Rev. T. N. Jones, of North Reading, Mass., reading appropriate selections of Scripture, fol lowed by Rev. Dr. S. J. Spaulding, of .Newbury port, who spoke of the sadness of the occasion Ichich had called them together, of three who were joined' to 'Christ on earth, but now were joined to him where partings and deaths are un known. Ills remarks were brief but affected the audience very strongly. Rev. - ffr.Tliumton then read a hymn,whieh the ehoir sang,after which Rev. Dr. Spaulding offered a deeply-affecting prayer, amid a breathless silence, closingwith-the -Bene diction. The choir sang with beautiful effect. the chant, "Who are these in bright- array." ,Dr. Sprullding, in behalf of the Minify, returned their thanks to' all who had assisted them in their bereayement,- and by sympathies, showed their sorrow for diem. At the close of these exercises an opportunity was given to look upon the, face of the deceased. 'The remains were then placed in separate: hearses, and, • followed by a long pro cession, were conveyed to Harmony Cemetery. The two sisters rest in one grave, and Albert beside them. A triple funeral never occurred in' the town before, and the circumstances called forth nearly every one from their other pursuits, business being almost entirely suspended. These deaths make five that have resulted from drowning in the same generation of this widely known family within a short space of time.

Augustus H. Tack yesterday went to Phila delphia, and there gave bail to answer the charge against. him. Ex-Judge Beebe, counsel for the accused parties, said he was anxious to proceed with the examination and in a feW remarks ad dressed to the Court, examination,' Mr. O'Connor in harsh terms, and said he dare not come to this city for fear of being imprisoned on a civil order of arrest for false Imprisonment. The annual fate of the German Liederkranz Society came off last night with less eclat than formerly, as the wealthier portion of our German citizens are becoming naturalized, and find the calls of the institutions of their new fatherland on their time and purse about as much as they can possibly attend to. The only 'draw back, with the exception of the abscrice of an aristocratic num ' bly, was the chilly Weather, and many of the young ladies felt rather cool iu their light. dresses, and neither-the. inspiring strains of the music nor the exercise of the dance were suffi cient to dispel the intrusive fact. Festivities, however were kept up , to an early hour. and the gay revellers'returned to their own root trees full of love and lager beer. An affray occurred, last evening about eight o'clock on the corner of Avenue B and Fourteenth street, between a party of men who had been seen Munging about the vicinity:during the early part of the evening, during whieh a man named . Ber nard Keenan was shot in the head with a pistol by one of the gang. Officer Sheehan, of the Seventeenth precinct, who happened to be in the neighborhood, on hearing' the report of the pistol repaired to the locality whence it had pro ceeded, and discovered, as he says, a Man named. Patrick Collins h the act of striking Keenan. on ,the head with the butt end of a pistol, which he threw away on discovering the officer's approach. Coffins was arrested and conveyed to the station house ' and Keenan to his residence, corner ave nue Aand Fourteenth street, where on examina tion by a physician the wound he received was pronounced to be of a serious nature. Col lins, after being sent home, seta word to. Captain Mount that a man by the name of Daniel Maher had shot him. On receipt of this intelligence, officers were Immediately detailed to, ferret out the lafter's whereabouts, and at a late hour they succeeded in finding him and three other men who had been mixed up in the affray. They were all locked up in the 6tatien-house to. await their arraignment before a magistrate. The case of Wynna vs. Vinton was argued yes terday, in the Supethe Court, before Judge Bar nard, and the decision reserved. Numerous davits were read, In which :Rev.
