Grant, as Secretary of War ad interim, in the nature of a military order fromthe Com- mander-in.Ohief of the Army and Navy—not to be disregarded. although disapproved, with. out insubordination—we endorse Gen.Grant’s action in the premises,and congratulate the country on having as the successor of Stanton one who is his proved friend, faithful sup- porter, ahd anqgualified endorser." Major Wells advocatea the passage of the resolution at some length Major Doughty had no particular desire to oppose the resolutions, but he did not think it necessary to call Stanton “the Carnot of the great American revolution.” He opposed the ten:h resolution, endorsing General Grant, and in accepting the position he was not prepared to emy that Grant did right; and he did not tbink that he was a frend of the soldier ia do- Ing so, for it appeared to him that he was in sympathy with the President and his policy. Major Doughty moved to strike out all that part of the 10th and 11th resolutions relating to General Grant. Lieutenant Young maintained that it was the duty of General Grant to obey the order of the President, and he did not think the res- olutions endorsed Grant any farther than that he is the friend of Stanton. Copgress had re- cognized in Grant one that could be trusted, and he boped the motion to strike out would not preva Major Ous said the military reconstruction bills provided for the assignment of military ¢fiicers to civil office, and advocated the adop- tion of the resolutions. T. Smith said,as no one knew Grant stood politically, he did not think it well to endorse him as a friend or enemy. He thought it improper to censure the President tor his removal, for he believed the President acted as be should have acted, as it was his undoubted privilege to choose his ad- visers from those who supported his policy, however distasteful that policy is to the es. He only acted as his predecessors acted in calling around him those who endors- | ed him, and be moved that the first resolution | be so amended as to approve his course in sus- | pending Stanton. Ne objected to the resola- tions until some respectable party should put on record that Andrew Johnson had failed to aiscbarge bis duties as defined in the Cons tation Major Doughty did not desire to attack Gen. Grant, but he endorsed all that was said in fa- ' Yor of Stanton. and said the President had ‘acted in violation of the tenure of office bill in suspending him. He knew of no act of Gen. Grant's that was not true and loyal, but his present act in accepting Staxton's place was one of great doubt in his mind as regards pro- pricty. He was opposed to dragging Grant inio ihe resolution, simply because he com- plimented Stanton in his letter accepting the place. Capt. Manning had fall confidencé in Gen. Grant. and if he deserved anything it was praise; and be opposed the striking out of any expression in the resolutions endorsing him, Capt Brock said the Union should walt, and not be ina hurry to endorse Gen. Grant, | us he cannot carry water on both shoulders, and he wanted him smoked out before en- dorsing him. Major Otis remarked that all were in favor | of Gen. Grant, but they were afraid to endorse jum Lieut. Young said that Gen.Grant was a true friend to tbe soldiers and sailors, and had given many members of the Union po- sitions Capt. Brock said that all the copperhead pa- pers aud the rebels were irying to secure the nomination of Gen. Grant for the Presidency, ana the New York Herald advocated General Lee for the Vice Presidency, because Grant was using his best endeavors to procure Lee a pardon. ‘The question being taken, the 10th resolution Was siricken out, and Gen. U.S. Grant’s name am the 1th. The resolutions were then unanimously adopted, it was ordered that a committee of three be appointed to draft resolutions, should G Sheridan be removed, and the commitiee wa: given power to submit resolutions in case of any other arbitrary removals by the Presi- ent. —— at ORPHANS’ UoURT, Judge Purcell.—To-day, the will of the late James S.

She had, it is alleged, been for some time the victim of severe punishment on the part of her tather, who, a few minutes be- fore her attempt to destroy herself, struck her with bis fist and knocked her down. She im- mediately proceeded to an adjoining room, where a vial of landanum was on the mantel- piece. and seizing the same she poured its con- tents dowm ber throat. Soon afterwards, how- ever, she became alarmed and informed her mother of what she had done, and begged her to save ber life. A physiciam was sent for, who resorted to the usual remedies in such cases, and succeeded in causing the ejectment of tbe poisonous Huid trom the unhappy girl's stomach before it had disseminated itself throughout the system. It is also intimated, as another reason for the attempted suicide, ‘hat Mabala bad been frequently visited by a colored man whom she entertained feelings of affection for. and bad engaged herself to be married to him, but that recently he had been ordered to keep away by her father, since which she bad threatened to take her life. paula trees ‘THREATS —A man named Thomas Brown was vesterday arrested and taken before Jus- tice Walter, at the Second Precinct, charged witb baving made threats of personal violence iowards one Ellen Brown.
