WASHINGTON. 2, 1863, } bee gc ete s The Report on the Removal of Pe*retary Mant: Tho case of theremoval of Secretary Stanton, wen to the Committee on Military Affuirs of the Senate, , by them entrusted to Senator Howard for examination, is now completed. tenator Howard is ready to place the matter before the committee tor action.¥Al! speculations ‘as t the disposition of the committee aro not based upon any official sanction, as no meo! bas been held since the case was taken up, and therefere no satisfactory expression of * views could be had, The Senator will urge @ speedy disposition of the matter by its introduction to the Senate early next week. The views of Senator Howard are favorable to Mr. Stanton, considering the removal as based upon grounds equally frivolous and un- tenable, The Secretary in hie own advocacy, it is con- tended, will produce some interesting revelations of bis intercourse with tho President, Tho opinion is given that Mr, Stanton’s case will bo so strongly preseutea that the Senato will be compolted to vote {n favor of the reine statement of the fallen Minister, It is possible, but not probable, that the radicals will put this climax tothe affair, and the friends of Mr. Stanton are ¢on- tinually dictating a course of conduct afford. ing them an opportunity to strike a blow over his bead at tho President. To accomplish this Purpose, it is anid, they have induced the Secretary to withhold his determination to resign, and to accept the place if restored by the Sonate. The stories afloat that General Grant will at once rotire upon the reinstatement of Mr, Stanton, and will rofuse to retain his position in the War Office if so ordered by tho President, cannot be traced to any reliable source. Gencrai Grant will at least characteriza the resumption of bis true sphere of duty by the usual courtesies, and in the event of so extraord- inary @ measure as a peremptory commandsto continue in the War Department, the order will be received and acted upon with a proper senso of right and duty.

The Whiskey Tax and the Whiskey “RI 4 Tho rumors of singular oporations now going on in some notorious whiskey “rings” aro beginning to elicit attention.
