Admiral Ammen and General Sherman Called as lVitnenHeM to What Hap pened !n 18(17—What Senator Henderson has to Say. Philadelphia, October 23. — Colonel Frank A. Burr, of the Philahelphia Times, lias finished his mem* rial volume of I he “Life of General Grant” The chapter con cerning the differences between General Grant and President Johnson is very inter esting and is in parts as follows : It would appear that General Grant’** Interest in Mexican affair* kept coming hack to plague him du- riugalltke boistrou* times of Johuson’* odininte- f ration. General Sherman and Admiral Am men boUrtell a most interestino story. Admiral Animen take* up the narrative by haying: “While I wan atill a guest of General Grant at hi* own house, Gen. Hhernmu appeared one morning before break fast, when Gen. Grant, with a twinkle in bin eye, aaked: ’What are yon doing here. Sherman? Do you know that under the exirting law your leaving your etatiou without my authority subjects you to grave penal tie*?’ ‘Yea/ replied Sherman, ‘that i* very true; but I have come on here upon a telegram from the President, and have called to see you to find out what i* in the wind.’ I never inquired of either party the ntatUH, which seemed to me to be ex plained by subsequent events. Gen. Sherman now in speaking to mo of this incident says: I recall very clearly being called to Washington by a tele gram from President Johnson during his trouble with Cougress. I did not kuow what was going on, but I came to Washington as rapidly as possible, and immediately went to Gen. Grant’s house to find out. When we were together, I asked him what wua up. His reply was that he did not know. but that there was some thing going on. He said there was a dispo sition iu the cabinet to get rid of him. The proposition had been made to send him to Mexico, bat ho bad determined not to go. He said be would stand a court-martial first. General Grant urged that it was a diplomatic mission aud one un der which be could not be sent under the law. He aahl if they wanted to send an army down there with him at the head, that was a very different thing; but that he could not l>e ordered by the Sec retary of War upon any diplomatic missiou what ever. After this I said to him: ‘Well, rahat do they want of me?* ‘I do not know, was his Yeply. After this conversation - I went over immediately and called upon the President, without visiting Secretary Stanton on any other member of the cabinet. The President told me frankly they were going to sout Lew Camp bell as minister to Mexico, accredited to the Juarez government, aud that it was thought best to send General Grant along with him; that his high position and his known friendship for Mexico would give this act high standing and place our minister in a commanding position with the government to which fho was accredited. I asked where Juarez was. The answer came that he was either at El Paso or near Monterey, I then said: ‘Mr. President, why do you want to send General Grant upon this service?’ ‘Well,* said the President, be has a groat reputation there as well as here; and Will pn»i*erly introduce our representative.’ 1 said: •Mr. President, this Is a diplomatic mission, aud Gen. Grant will not go upon it. He will disobey the order if It ta issued.’ The President seemed very much surprised and said he bad a very gteat regard for Gen. Grant and would not like to do anything that was distasteful to him; yet he thought it would be to the interest of Graut if he would go down with Mr. Campbell aud preseut him to the Juarez government. The upshot of the matter waa that I waa sent to Mexico. Thus was the difficulty, ao far aa Gen. Grant waa concerned, bridged over, and he waa kept from open rupture with the executive. My opinion is they desired to get rid of him aud keep him from being a candi date for the Presidency. What they wattted of me in case General Grant was sent out of the country I do not know. The discussion between President Johnson and myself never got that far.” In relation to the belligerent side of President Johnson’s acts about this time and the organizations of force to sustain him in open rupture with Congress, of which Gen. Horace Porter speaks, Mr. Burr continues: Gen. Grant’s differences with Andy Johnson were continuous, without an open conflict, during all his terra ma President. As the difficulties between Grant and the President grew, Gen. Graut was in formed that an arrangement waa being made in Maryland for the organization of a force to support the President in case there waa an open rupture l>e- tween himself and Congress. He directed tbe of ficer* commanding in Washington at the time to aend a trusted officer into Maryland to aarertain tbe strength of the force, and what was being dono in the way of arming and drilling it. It «w the duty of the first officer sent to only report as to the strength of the force, and he per formed that duty, and his present recollection fa that the militia force of the State did not exceed A.uoo, and after this officer had reported upon strength aud location, another officer was de spatched. who reported was handled, etc. Bot! were sent upon this du the report of the las Governor Tom Swann, tion for all field Htate waa entitled.

Under the law this vote ipso facto reinstated Htauton and removed Grant. Next morning Stanton ap- }>eared at the war office at an early hour, be fore the arrival of General Grant, and. ou the arrival of General Grant, Stauton informed him of the action of the Senate and said that he was now again Secretary of War. General Grant retired, and iu a few days occurred a scene between Johnson and General Grant, in the execu tive mansion aud in the presence of all the cabinet except possibly Seward. In that interview it will be remembered that Johnson stated to Grant that he (Grant* had accepted the portfolio of the War Department with the agree ment that in case the Senate disgreed with the action of the President in removing Stanton, he (Grant) would either hold the office and contest with Stanton the constitutionality of the tenure of office act, or in the event of his unwillingness to do so, he would give timely uotice thereof to the Presi dent, iu order that the latter might substitute the name of some other person contest the validity of the at tion with Stanton. Mr. Johuson claimed that, tn his opinion, the act was unconstitutional, and declared *J3 wit br'lsre thatUeu. Graut con curred with him te-iuck Dpiolon. As to what was said aud dons InTthat inturirlow. Gen. Grant and the President ttrToualy differed, and the members of the cabinet who were present were called upon to substantiate the President's version. Up to tliut time i never knew or heard of auy serious misun derstanding between Graut and Johnson, ami I am satisfied that - up to that riod (ion. Graut was op]*OHed to action looking to the impeachmeut of Johnson. Af ter this difficulty, which so fur as I could under stand involved nothing but a question of veracity between the parties, 1 can say positively that Gen eral Grant became a firm aud zealous advocate of impeachment, and continued ao till the final vote ou the subject. I speak only from memory as to dut« s, hut the substantial facts are correct. Governor Ross, of New Mexico, who was thou in tho United Strtes Senate mul voted against impeachment, iu reply to a tele graphic inquiry, says: Gen. Grant was understood to oppose th** im peachment of Andrew Johnson until nc.tr the be ginning of his trial iu the Senate, but to have fav ored it during the trial. Lyman Trumbull, Senator from Hlinois, when approached on the subject last night, declined to discuss it, ami said he knew nothing about General Grant's feel ing respecting the impeachment of John son, except what was of public record. He, however, entirely discredited the interview with Gen. Gruntt as related by Depow. , ANOTHER WITNESS. Indianapolis, October 23.—Hon. David S.

Henderson, who wax in the Keiuite at that time and will be remembered aa one of the very few Re publican Senators who voted Against the impeachment. General Henderson was alao An intimate friend of Gront’H, aud had . superior onportanitien for knowing the Gencrui’H viewa at that time. The Htate- ment is aa follown: There were two separate and distinct movements to Impeach President Johnson. One was In the House in December 1»67, immediately on the as sembling of Congress. It was baaed on tbe action of a committee appointed during the special ses sion of Congress In Jnly, 1B67, to investigate and re port whether it was advisable to impeach Mr. John- eon. 1 speak only by memory, but at least action was taken in December and the proposed articles of impeachment were voted down by a very large majority. Gen. Grant was then Hecretary of War and a member of Johnson’s cabinet, aud 1 have various reaNons for stating that at that time he was opposed to tbe impeachment of Johnson. Gen. Grant had accepted the position of decretory of W? r in the preceding August, on the suspension of Fduiu If. Htanton by the President under the pro visions ot the tenure of office act. That act provided that in cases where Che Pnddent suspended an officer his reasons for the suspension end the name of the pro ten, appointment should be submitted to the Senate.

It did not occur to them, however, that the legro guide was disposed to deal foully with them. Subsequent developments tend to nhow that bo a* a traitor, and betrayed them into a trap. At lost, after wandering from place to place until the night was half-spent, tbe negro told tho officers that he would conduct them directly to the place. The party followed him, and about 12 o’clock found themselves in tho neighborhood of Peter McBride’s store near Long Pond court ground, fifteen mile* from Lumber City. The moon was shining brightly, and everything wo* proceeding quietly. When tho store was approached nothing was said, and tho party drove by. As they were turning a bend in tho road leading from the store, suddenly the door was opened and a volley of fifteen shot* were fired into the party. In a moment everything was in a panic. CoPcc- tor Clements’s homo sprung loose from tho buggy, ; orkiug him and Rose violently out, and dragging diem some distance. Clemen u. bold to the reins tightly and was dragged from the scene. The liorse driven by Marshal Wall was also badly frightened and attempted to run. The party concealed in the store ceased firing after the first volley and escaped in tho darkness. Au examination showed that Rose was nlightly wounded in the side, a number of shot entering hi* clothing. Tho negro was also hurt, though not se- riously. Wall escaped uninjured. It was thought that Collector Clements had been killed, as he could not be found, aud this report obtained currency. It was afterward* learned that be was not h^at all. Rose, whose horse had escaped, walked back to Lumber City, and told what had happened. Mr. J. D. McLeod, proprietor, of the McLeod House at Lumber City, immediately telegraphed the tact to McVille, and from that point it waa communicated all over the State. It waa imposalble to tell who did the firing. It waa done quickly, and was followed by a hasty re treat, all of tho party escaping in the darkness without disclosing their ideutlty. Exactly who composed the entire party will perhaps never be known, bnt suspicion rests strongly on two or three, and efforts will be made to bring them to im mediate justice. It was learned Saturday that the negro guide, who Is still confined in hi* bed by tho wound he re ceived. confessed that he communicated hi* inten tions to another negro, who carried tho informatou to the moonahiner and hi* friends.
