Some Mistakes, Tre records St the War department show that General Grant, in his comments and criti- eism upon General Hancock’s administration of civil affairs in Louisiana, made some serious mistakes, Gen. Grant, speaking from memory, no doubt, got {shee dates and transactions He spoke of Gen. Hancock's having re- ‘he governor and state commisstoners,” whcm Ger. Sheridan had appointed, lotimating carry Out A fraud ant ut a fraudulent scheme for the raising of money on state ponds, rter was sent tothe War depart- m the files prec ired copies of the telegrams Gen. Grant refers to as 1s D> tween himself and Gen. Hancock. ‘These tele- grams show that the correspondence was rela- Ive to the removal of mixed. moved * MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL of New Orleans, and not of governor and com- missioners, On February 7th, 1863, Gen. Hap. Cock issued an order removing nine members of the city councils “for proceeding to hold an election for recorder of the 24 district of New Orleans in contempt ot orders trom these heai- quarters; also appointing nine men to fill the vacancies thus created.” On the same day (Feb. 7,) Gen. Hancock sent a tel im contain- ing 200 words toGen. Grant, Informing him of ‘hhis (Hancock’s) action In removing the councll- men for proceeding to elect a recorder, which Was an “elective office (under the law) by the peoue and not by the council” The telegram ther informed Grant that the attempt to hold the election was made while Hancock was in Texas; that the council was referred to Gen. Sheridan’s order forbidding election, until re- construction was completed, without the au- thoriiy of the commanding general; neverthe- less the members deposed voted for an in Mediate election. General Grant 1s cited to @ case in point where General Mower had removed tne city council of Jeffer- son, La., for like offense. In conclusion Gen. Hancock referred to the reconstruction acts as his guthority for the action he had taken. A copy of Gen. Mower’s order, dated Oct. 15, 1857, removing the city council of Jefferson’ “tor passing an ordinance for the election of city ofticers” and appointing others to fill the vacan cles, appears in connection with the telegram of Gen, Hancock. On the sth of February , Gen, Grant telegraphed Gen. Hancock: “sus pend you crder removing city council of New Orleans until full report of reasons is sent. An swer by mail.” TANCOCK’S REASONS. On the 9th of February Gen. Hancock replied to Gen. Grant by telegraph—the dispatch con- taining about 500 wor He acknowledged re celpt Of Grant’s order, and requests the latter to reconsider his action, and that “my (Han- cock’s) order in the premises be ngt suspended until you have the full report of the reasons called for by you. J telegraphed you at the mo ment the order was issued, giving as fulla state. ment of my reascns for action as I veallevea could be made. | I referred you to the orders of Gen. Sheridan forbidding elections, which you have on file at your headquarters, and stated that the city council had been previously notified of this order by me. I also referred you to an order of Gen. Mower, issued in October last, whten Sets forth a parallel case, and which you have on file. In that case an appeal was takea to you for a reinstatement of the council removed by Gen. Mower, which appeal you have Not sustained. The present. was in defiance of that example, of Gen. Sheridan’s orders, and of my own letters cautioning the council to de sist in thig election, and forwarded to you ce copy,) January 26. It waslilegal under tbe law by which they claimed to act. I Was astonished at this action of the couacil, and could not account for lt, except in the fact that they bad been tnstigated to It by designing men, who believed, it I dared to make these re- movels, that it would end in my own removai from this place, and that they would be pro- tected. At any rate, my self respect, as the commander of this’ district, made It abso. lutely necessary that I should take sum- Mmsry measures, regardless of cons. quences with which parusans might threa’. en me. I do not know what fuller repor: could be furnished in this case, fo. all the papers explaining my action havé been Sent to you. To suspeud my order would be to destroy my usefulness here; aad in such case a sense of what I consider due to me and my position in this matter would necessitate a re Speciful request to be relieved from my present command. Although I have been here seventy days, Ubis is the second occasion I have taken on my own responsidility to make a removal, t-e first one two days previous to this—both fo grave reasons reported to you in detail by tele graph; and while I fully recognize the power 0. e geberal-in-chtef to disapprove my action. 1 respectfully request that, a3 I have acted upd": a full knowledge of the facts, the general-in. chief may delay his action until’ he can inform me what further papers or information he may desire in addition to what has been furaished, for a full understanding of the case under con- sideration. My action in the premises was originaily based upon the first and sezond séc- tions of the Supplementary, reconstruction act of July 19, i867. 1 wait your reply before issuing the order directed.” On the 11th of February Gen. Grant virtually approved Gen. Hancock’s position, it would ap- pear, by sending the latter the followisg dls. atch:—“If your order removing city council a3 been executed and new appointments are in, you need not suspend orders as directed.” (Signed)— U. 8S. GRant, General. Gen. Eancock replied to this dispatch of Gen. Grants, saying the men he had appointed were aiready sworn in and were the best men he could find. Subsequently Gen. Grant reinstated the men Gen. Hancock had removed, and there- upon the latter requested to be relieved of com- mand of the department, saying he could no longer be of use there. His request was granted. Political Notes, ‘The democrats as well a3 the repubileins ar working the “business” issue for all tt 13 worth in Obio.

Dav- eLport's orders to his supervisors to seize th: naturalization papers of voters, said the order Was illegal and such a setzure would be robbery. Mr. Kelly said: “I say it, and I say it boldly, that any voter who applies to have his nam: registered and presents a certificate of natural- ization issued by a court should resent physi. cally apy attempt of Davenport’s men to take from him.

This matter is talked about all over tho city, and looks like the inception of a bitterness in politics very dangerous to the peace at the NEW YORK. jolts. Notwithstanding reports in this moralng’s newspapers to the contrary, Gen. Hanc%ek came to New York from Governor's Island yes- terday in a rage about Gen. Grants alleged interview with Dr. Fowler.

But before long he ylelded, and uvon their suggestion cetermined not to do anything about it at present, but treat the matter as beneath his notice. This will be his course under the re- straint of his friends. Up to this afternoon he has no idea of replying, and the most Influential men in the democracy are strengthening their advice for him to keep quiet. The probabilities are that he will ee no written reply, and, ia fact, he Is strongly urged to stop writing letters upon any subject so far in any degree seeming to justiy one. The republicans to-day seem more hopeful about In and certain of a good majority in Ohio. At demccra ic headquarters advices are bluer on the subject of Indiana. They agree thatthe state will go democratic by a reduced majority. Great dissatisfaction is expressed at English’s management, on the ground that he has not accomplished anything like what was expected of him, and the demand for more money is urg- ent. A considerable sum was sent to the dem- ocratic mana; at Indianapolis yesterday. But the democrats now feel very hopeful about Ohio because of some inner workings at Cin- cinnatl. They calculate on the latest estimate that they will roll up an Increase in Hamtiton county sufficient to offset the republican ma. jority in the remainder of the state. On ths account the republican leaders here have to- day advised renewed energies in the whol: state of Obio.

THE AGITATION IN IRELAND. Fenians and Land Lenguers Allied. New York, Oct. 7.—A cable special from Dub- lin says: Mr. Parnell bas formed an alltance with the physical force party. The land league ard nationalists (or the Fenians) must hereafter be considered friendly organizations, working aide by side fer a common object. The agitation is no longer merely a land movement. It is becoming more far-reaching, and it would b dificult to conjecture the result. The Fentans hope for open rebellion; the land leaguers firmly expect to obtain home rule, and it would be idle to deny that 1 &@ geveral strike is made against rents. “which becomes more and more ole every day, the movement will be well nigh irre- sistible, tor the entire army of England could hot evict the people, and if they could the land. Jords would be still deprived of rents, and wouid also be obliged to pay the cost of enforcing the Jaw. What with land leagues on one side to keep the people inflamed, and secret societies on the other to intimidate, and occasionally an assassination, such a state of affairs has been created as no Irish rebel ever before contemn- plated.- No Engiishman at present realizes the direction which affairs are taking, It is be ginning to be realized in the north, where the dea gains ground that the southern agitation threatens to become a separate movement, THE DEATH OF OFFENBACH.
