The President this afternoon sent the
following lettere to the Hems of Repre
.
sentativen, in accordance with the resolu
tion adopted yesterday: • 1
Exuctrrive Maatstos, Fob. 10, 1008.
Onstrmat., The extraordinary charac
ter of your letter of the ad inst. would
seem to preclude any reply on my part,
but the manner its which publicity hes.
been given to the correepondenee, of
whirls that letter forins a part, and the
grave questions which are involved, in
duce me to Lake this mode of giving, as
it proper sequel to the communications
which have 141,4041 between us, the etat••
manta of the five members of tho' Cabi
net who wens present on the tension of !
our conversation on the 14th ult. Copies
of the letters which they hive addressed
to me aphis the subject are . accordingly
herewith enclosed.
You spent - of my letter of tho Int talk,
. a reiteration of the many soil gross
misrepresent:aloes eontained in .certain
newspaper articles,.and reassert the cor
rectnessof the etatements contained In
yonr communication of the 28th ult., aci•
ding tend here I give your own word:lj
tt Anything in yours' in rep ly to it to the
- contrary notwithstanding. " When it
controversy upon matters of foot reaches
the pain' to which this !tube:in brought.
further umertion or denial between the
immediate partici should roux', especial•
lv when upon either nide It 'loosw the
the character of the respectful iliscussioe
required by the parties standing to
each other and degenerates in tone and
teniper. In such n rose, if them Is noth
ing to rely upon but the opposing state
ments, concluelene nnt.t. be drawn from
them statement , ' alone and from whatev
er intrinsic probabtlities they afford in
favor of or againet either of the parties.
I should not shrub from the controver
erhut fortunately it is not loft to' this
test alone. There wore nee Cabinet
mire present at tho con remotion, the die

you Allow yourself to any contain' many
and grow misrepresentations. 1 These
gentlemen heard that writer...lion end
have read my statement. Thee - speak
for thernwirm, nod I leove the proof
without a word kihmrnent.
I deem it proper, blame coneluding
this cemmunicatieu, to 11o:ice some of
the eLttetatettts eontained in your letter. i
Ycti nor that a performance of the 1
'premises R 114 0 ,410 have been made by
you to the Presiden d would have in- 1
volved "a rmistanee to the law and an !
ineonsietency with the whole history of
tut connection with the ettepenelon of 1
Mr. Stanton." You then elate that you
had fear, the Presideut would on the re-;
moral of Mr.niontia appoint some one
in his tame who would embarrass the
army In carrying out the recomarection
sets, and add "it wan to prevent seek en
appointment that I cecepted the ore. of ;

the purpose of enabling you to get rid

On the 2,lth ult. jots raltindwed a note
