Grant President, 1ms recently written a letter
to A. T. Stewart, expressing his change of mind
and determination to oppose Grant's election.
The course pursued by Grant in relation to
Stanton’s re-instatement as Secretary of War
is the cause assigned.
We apprehend thousands will pursue the
same course. Grant’s behavior displayed a
littleness that disgusted his friends and aston
ished the remainder of the American people.
Not So Fast.
A number of Southern journals have hoisted
the name of Andrew Johnson for President,
subject to the decision of the National Demo
cratic party in Convention assembled. This
action on the part of our brethren of the press
has, to our mind, an appearance of haste.—
While it is true Mr. Johnson has done many
good things, it is equally ti ne that he has done
many things that were not good, not just, not
acceptable to the Democratic pariy. At this
particular time, when Mr. Johnson's history is
■o fresh in the minds of our readers, it is un
necessary to reiterate it. Again: Mr. Johnson’s
term of office has not. expired, and he may yet
do some act that would make his nomination
Imprudent, and his election uncertain or im
possible ; and to commit any portion of the
Democracy to his nomination might have the
tendency to produce party divisions and secure
Radical success. The times are so peculiar
that the party should be left free to adopt
whatever line of policy a majority of delegates,
untrammelled, assembled in convention might
think best. The success of the Democracy in
the ensuing Presidential contest, would be the
■uccess of true Republicanism, and the defeat
of the Democracy would be the defeat of Con
stitutional government; and so deep an inter
est do we feel in the success of the Democratic
party that we arc content to leave the choice
of a candidate to the Northern Democrats.—
The Northern popularity alone of the candidate
should be discussed, for the white men of the
South will vote in mass for any Democrat in
good standing, and of course the Northern
members of the party are better acquanted
with the wishes of the No» them wing of the
party than we of the South. It is true Georgia
and her r sisters should send delegates to the
Democratic Convention, with no design, 1 ow-
cver, to be captious about candidates, but to
simply express the determination of their con
stituents to give their hearty support to any
good Democrats selected as candidates for Pres
ident and Vice President. Therefore let no
preferences be expressed; but, on the contrary,
let us inform our Northern friends that all we
ask of them is the nomination of popular,
available constitutional men, and in turn
promise the nominees our united and cordial
support.

A Word Mere.
Mr. Editor: 1 have l.ceu>mnch pleased with
the communications of ‘‘Citizen and “Suf
ferer,” on the subject of wood-thieves. The
ideas contained in those articles are eminently
proper and just. I am also happy to add that
they are having the desired effect. Since their
publication I have heard -numbers of our citi
zens express a determination to make no more
purchases of stolen light-wood from the classes
referred to in those communications. Every
sane man expected this action on the part of
the reputable and honest, for no man can hear
that character who will insist on buying any
species of property, it matters not how cheap
it can he obtained, which he knows or believes
to he stolen.
The word I desire to add is this: The class
of thieves referred to have found out that their
game is being blocked, and now instead ct, as
formerly, representing their wood as obtained
from Mr. Dougherty’s, Berry’s or Beadle s land,
they declare they have brought it from planta
tions miles distant from Newman. Ibis is in
tended for a dodge and satisfac tion of the con
sciences of buyers : but it is no dodge at all.—
It is as much a crime to steal from A, who
lives four miles from Newman, as B who lives
in Ncwnan.
There is a way, however, to correct nil of
this. If the seller has permission of the land-
owner to still the wood, let him or her bring
it in writing. This will be a protection to the
honest wood-peddler, and exclude from the
market the dishonest.
I will add there is no plea, except that of
economy, which can he offered in favor of the
purchasers denounced heretofore; and econo
my at the expense of honesty is never com
mendable. Daily the streets of Ncwnan are
filled with wagons loaded with wood not stolen,
which those in need of it can buy at fair prices.
In future I hope and believe no good man or
woman will patronize the despicable traders in
wood, from whom others aud myself have
heavilv suffered. Sufferer No. S.
some members of my staff, in which 1
stated that- the law- left me no discretion as to
my action should Mr Stanton he reinstated. 1
went to the President lor the sole purpose of
making this decision known, and I did
it so known. In this I lultilled the promise
made in our last preceding conversation on the
subject. The President, however, instead of
accepting my view ot the requirements ot the
Tenure of Office till, contended that he had
suspended Mr. Stanton under the authori y
given by the Constitution, hut the same au
thority did not preclude from the reporting as
an act of courtesy, his reasons for the suspen
sion. He stated that having been appointed
l»v authorise given by the Constitution, and not
under ;he act ot Congress. 1 could he governed
by the act. i stated that the law* was binding
me, whether constitutional or not, until set
aside I y the proper tribunal. Au hour was
consumed bv each of us in reiterating his \ iew
oil this subject, until getting late, the Presi
dent said he would see me again. 1 did not
agree to cal! again on Monday, nor at any other
definite time, nor was 1 sent tor by the 1 resi
dent until the following Tuesday, from the
Hth inst.. to the Cabinet meeting on the 14lh
inst. A doubt never entered my mind about
the President fully understanding my position,
namely: That if the Senate refused to concur
in the suspension of Mr. Stanton's right to re
sume at once the functions of his office would,
under law, be indisputable, and I acted accord -
ingly. With Mr. Stanton 1 had no communi
cation. direct or indirect, on the subject of his
reinstatement. During his suspension, .1 knew
it had been recommended to the President to
send the name of Governor Cox, of Ohio, for
Secretary of War. and thus save all embarrass
ment., a proposition I sincerely hoped he would
entertain favorably. General Sherman, seeing
the President at my particular request, urged
this on the 13th. On Tuesday Mr. Stanton re
entered iiis office. General Comstock, who
had carried my official letter announcing Mr.
Stanton’s reinstatement by the Senate, and
that 1 had ceased to he Secretary of War ad in
terim, and who saw the President open and
read the communication, and brought back to
me from the President a message that he want
ed to see me that day at the Cabinet meeting,
after I had made known the fact, that I was no
longer Secretary of War ad interim. At this
meeting, after opening, as though I were still
a member of his Cabinet, I reminded him of
the notification already given him that I was
no longer Secretary of War ad interim. The
President gave his version of the. conversation
already alluded to. It was asserted that I
had agreed to hold on to the office of Secretary
of War until displaced by the courts, or resign
so as to place the President where he would
have been had I never accepted the office. Af
ter hearing the President through I stated our
conversation substantially as given in this let
ter. I will add, my conversation before the
Cabinet embodied other matters not pertinent
here, and therefore are left out. I nowise ad
mitted the correctness of the President’s state
ment of our conversation, though to soften
the evident contradiction of my statement, 1
said, alluding to our first conversation on the
subject, that the President might have under
stood it the way he said, namely, that I had
promised to give him sufficient notice if I did
resign, if I did not resist reinstatement.

I did not think that, in the selection of a
Cabinet Officer. I should be trammelled by
such considerations. I was prepared to take
the responsibility of deciding the question
in accordance w ith my ideas of constitutional
duties ; and. having determined upon a course
. which I deemed right and proper, was anxious
make j ],> ;tril the steps you would take, should pos
session of the Wat Department he demanded
by Mr. Stanton and hud your action in conform
ity. In submitting this request, with which I
complied on the 2'Jth instant, you take^ occa
sion to allude to the recent publication, in re
ference to the circumstances connected with
tiie vacation by yourself of the office of Sec
retary of War ad interim and with a view of
correcting the statements which you term mis
representations, and give at length your own
recollection of the facts under w hich without
the sanction of the President, from whom you
had received and accepted the appointment,
you yielded the Department of War to the
present incumbent, as stated by your commu
nication. Sometime after you had assumed
the duties of Secretary of War ad interim, we
interchanged views respecting the course that
should be pursued in the event of the non-con
currence hv the Senate in the suspension of Mr.
Stanton. I sought that interview, calling my
self at the War Department. My sole object
in then bringing the subject to your attention,
was to a«c« i tain what would be your own action
should such an attempt bt made for his resto
ration to the War Department. That object
was accomplished for the interview terminated
with the distinct understanding that, if under
reflection you should prefer to become a party
to the controversy, or should conclude it would
he your duty to surrender the department to
Mr. Stanton upon action in his favor by the
Senate, you wete to return the office to me
prior to acting by the advice of the Senate, in
urder that if I desired to do so, I might desig
nate some one to succeed you. It must have
been apparent to you that, had not this un
derstanding been readied, it was my purpose
to relieve you of the further discharge of the
duties as Secretary of War at! interim, and to
appoint seme other one in that capacity. Other
conversations upon the subject ensued, all hav
ing on my part the same object, and leading
to the same conclusion as to the first. It is
not necessary, however, to refer to any of them
except to the statement mentioned in your
communication as was then known that the
Senate had proceeded in the case of Mr. Stan
ton. I was anxious to learn your determina
tion. After a pointed interview, during which
the provisions of the Tenure of Office bill were
freely discussed, you said that as it had been
agreed upon in our first conference, you would
either return the office to my possession in
time to enable me to appoint a successor before
the first action by the Senate upon Mr. Stan
ton's suspension, or would remain at its head
awaiting a decision by judicial proceedings.—
It was then understood there would be a fur
ther conference on Monday, by which time I
supposed you would be prepared to inform me
of your final decision. You failed however,
to fulfill the engagement, and on Tuesday no-
j tified me in writing of the receipt of your of-
I ficial notification of the action of the Senate in
■ reference to Mr. Stanton. With the under
standing between us I did not believe that the
embarrassment would have attained its present
proportions or that the probabilities of its repe
tition would have been so great.
I know that with a view to an early
termination of the state affairs, so detri
mental to the public interest, you volun
tarily offered, both on Monday, the 15th
inst., and on the succeeding Sunday, to
call upon Mr. Stanton and urge upon him
that the good of the service required his
resignation. 1 con less that I considered
Sincerely out having countermanded
anxious, however, to be correct in my
statements, 1 have to-day read ihis nara

the members of the Cabinet, who were
then present, 'i Iiey without exception,
agree, in its accuracy. That on Wed
nesday morning, the 15th, you called on
me in company with Lieutenant General
Sherman, and after some prelim nary con
versation, you remarked that an article in
the National Intelligencerof that date did
you much injustice. I replied I had not
read the Intelligeucer of that morning.

urge Mr. Stanton to resign his offic . Alter
you had withdrawn I carefully read the
article of which you spoke, and found its
stati ments of the understanding between
us was substantially correct. On the 17th
I caused it to be read to four or five mem
bers of the Cabinet, who were present at
our conference on the I4th, and they con
curred in the general accuracy of the
statements respecting our conversation on
that occasion. In reply to your com
munication, I have deemed it proper, to
prevent further misunderstanding, to
make this simple recital of facts.

After a careful reading and comparison
of the article in the National Intelligencer

I find them to be but a reiteration, only

and gross misrepresentations confined to
those a r ticles, and which my statement
of the facts set forth in my letter of the

herein I reassert the correctness of my
statements in that letter, anything in

Bradley's Expulsion-
The Menagerie, on Wednesday, unanimously
e-xpelled A. Alpeoria Bladlev, not for the crime
of seduction, hut for base and vile insinuations
upon the character of some of the members of
the Convention. It appears that somebody
had written Bradley an anonymous letter, say
ing that there was a member of the Conven
tion who had seduced his sister-in-law, etc.,
and referred Bradley to Parrott, the President
of the Convention, and Bradley, in making his
defence, referred to that letter and said:
I have a letter, which I could not find this
morning, involving the delegate from Gordon
and the President of the Convention, and their
families in a like offense. I do not wonder at
the gentleman’s being nettled, but he should
not murder me. I am not the man.
Whereup Mr. Cotting offered the following
resolution:
Resolved. That Aaron A. Bradley, for the
gross insults offered to this Convention and the
members thereof, be forthwith expelled from
his seat in this body.
Before a vote was taken the Chair gave the
delegate an opportunity of making his defense,
which he did at some length, and, under the
rule, retired from the Hall.
Mr. Whiteley called for the yeas and nays,
which were ordered, and resulted yeas 130.
So the delegate from Chatham, A. A. Brad

Mr. Bullock offered the following resolution:

from this Convention, we recognize only the

Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: I have recently
given your *“ Worm Destroyer” several trials’,
and find it wonderfully efficacious. It has not
failed in a single instance to have the wished-

practice, and have daily use for some article of
the kind. I am free to confess that I know of
no remedy recommended by the ablest authors
that is so certain and speedy in its effects. Ou
the contrary they are uncertain in tin* extreme.
My object in writing to you is to find outur n
what terms I can get the medicine directly

shall use a g^eat deal of it Iamawircthat
the use of such articles is contrary to the teach

Washington, January 2-5, 1867. j
HLs Excellency Andrew Johnson, President of
the United States:—
Sir:—On the 24th instant I requested you
to give me in writing instructions which you
had previously given me verbally, not to obey
any order from E. M, Stanton, Secretary of
\N ar, unless it came from yourself. This writ
ten request I have not received. The message
has lett doubt in my mind as to your intention.
To prevent any possible misunderstanding,
therefore, I renew the request that you will
give me written instructions, and until they
lie received I will suspend action on your ver
bal ones. I am compelled to ask these in
structions in writing in consequence of the
many gross misrepresentations affecting my per
sonal honor, circulated through the press for
the last* fortnight, purporting to come from
the President’s conversations, which occurred
either with the President privately in his office
or in the Cabinet meeting. What is written
admits of no misunderstanding. In view of

in the performance of the duties especi

was to prevent such an appointment that
I accepted the appointment of Secretary
of War ad interim and not for the purpose
of enabling you to get rid of .Mr. Stanton,
or withholding the office from hun in op
position to the law, or, not doing so my
self, to surrender it to one who, as the
statements and assumptions in your com
munication plainly indicate was sought,
and it was to avoid this danger, as well as
to relieve you from the personal embar
rassment in which Mr. Stacton’s res
tatement would place you, that I urged
the appointment of Gov. Cox, believing
it would be agreeable to you, and also to
Mr. Stanton.

and at the same time yon informed me that,
according to the act regulating the tenure of
certain civil offices, your functions of Secretary
of War ad interim ceased from the moment up
on receipt ot notice. You thus, in disregard
of the understanding between us, vacated the
office without having given notice of your intent
to do so. It is but just to say, however, that
in your communication you claim you did in- :

I was wounded about two years ngo—was

I was wounded. I am shot through the hips.
My general health is impaired, and I need

wish that that is genuine. Please express me

Johnson was a skillful surgeon and physician
in Central New York, where he died, leaving
the above C. P Johnson to my care. At thir
teen years of age he had a chronic diarrhea
and scrofula, for which I gave him your Sarsa
parilla. It cured him. I have for ten years
recommended it to many in New York, Ohio
and Iowa, for scrofula, fever sores, and general
debility. Perfect success has attended it. 7“
cures effected in some cases of scrofula and fever sera
were almost miraculous. I am very anxious for
