AT WASIIINGTON, A SUPPRERSED Lerrin, Bpretat Miapaten to ‘The Uhleago Tribune, Wasirnaton, D, 0., June 1.—In view of the publication of Gen. Grant’s letter to Sen- ftor Jones, attacking President Garfleld, and the freedom with which the General 1s eriti- elsing him by means of interviews, it iy re- garded as yory strange that Gen. Grant does not give to the press a letter addressed to him upon the aubject now In controversy by Prealdent Garfield. At tho timu that the lat ter of Grantto Senator Jones was printed the announcement was made that tha’ Sena- tor had also recelved and dutlvered n letter from Grantto the President, It was de- elared that it was equally deetded fn {ts ex- pressions regarding the President as the let- terto Jones, Although doubts were ex- pressed nt the thine about THE EXIBTENCE OF SUCIL A LETTER, the statement, that it was recelved and de- Itvered was true, But It Is nlse true that President Garfleld wrote at tength ta Gen, Grant in reply, taking direct issue with hint upon pasitions which he assumed in the let- ter, and polnting out to him wherein he had written from Incorrect Information, Abun- dant time has elapsed since this letter from the President to Gen. Grant was tailed for It.to reach the Jatter, even If it did not reach the Clty of Mexfep until after Gen. Grant. had left, op a . f 4 TNE PRIRARGOF THE PREADENT Tord who aroawnre of the existence of this Jetter,and the gonernl terms of its character, express much indignation over the Inte at- tacks of Gen, Grant on the President, which have none of them contained even ‘9 hint thatthe President had presented: his aide of the caso to Gon, Grant very fully and in clear and forelbte terms. "They ‘feel that Gen. Grant cannot withhold that letter after the publication of his own to Senator Jones, supplemented ns that and the one directly to the President havebeen by tho Jute de- nunclatory interviews. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. New York, June. 1.—Lhe Times’ Wash- ington special says: “Prior to the adjournment of tho. extra seasion uf tha Scnute there was published a letter written by Gen.
