Lona Branen, June 5, 1871, The thunder shower that poured so plentifully on New York last night touched us very lightly, not enough falling to wet @ summer coat. While tt was passing over us very many people were driving on the road, enjoying the breeze from the sea and the delicious odor of the blooming fields of clover that skirt the shore. The President was the last to re- treat, but ne reached his cottage before the shower came on. Tom Murphy ran under cover of the West £nd Hotel; and Edwin Booth, in his little basket wagon, drove directiy for his residence when the first flash and reverberation from the threatening banks of cloud put mettle in his pony. The cloud paled before the rising wind at seven o’clock and the moon shone out.brightly at a later hour on the calm sea and picturesque landscape of the Branch. A dead calm prevaiied this morning, and early risers were gratified by the sight of these usually turbulent waves sleeping peacefully in the lap of the land. After the enjoyment of a capital breakfast pro- vided by mine host of the West End and half an honr’s musing by the water tn company of a good cigar I strolled over to nftet the President. I found him in a conversational mood, his morning labor of LOOKING OVER HIS DESPATOHES having been concluded, He was quite friendly and expressed himself much pleased to see me. Atter discussing the important question of the weather in all its bearings—tho President is very weatherwise—and exchanged views on the best drives and walks inthe neigh- borhood, we naturally fell into conversation on poltucs, I say naturally advisediy, for after one is talked out on the weather, driving and walking. there is nothing else of absorbing interest to talk about here but politics, “How did you like my report of the last conver- sation I had the honor to enjoy with you, Mr. Presi- dent?” I asked, as L drew my chair further back out of the sun. “Tt was quite ¢ ory. Alter a pause of a few minutes be remarked that he had recelved the morning papers, but had not time to look over them. “You will find,” I said, “a good deat of interest- ing reading in them. For instance, it 1s reported that Baneroft wants to resign THE BERLIN MISSION. A number of patriots will be here this evening to ask you for lus place.”? “Bancroft is anxious to be relieved; he wants to £0 to Italy to live. He made his wish known to me some time since. Tcan’t, however, relieve him just now. He Js thoroughly informed oo the San Juan question in all its bearings, and nis services will be requtred at Berlin until the treaty between us and Great Britain is fually aisposed of. His advice and assistance, you see, will be necessary, To relieve him now would be injudicious, to say the least. Sut as he has asked to be allowed to resign in the fall he can then do so without injury to our interests, Before October arrives the treaty will be fixed all right.” “You are sure of that, sir’ “Oh, yes. Lam satisfied that the whole matter ot the treaty with England will be settled by that time. I don’t see any reason why it should not.” “It would be absurd to ask if you have selected Mr. Baucroft's successor ?”” PROMISES INCONVENIENT. “Yes; it is too soon yet to speak of that. I never make promises before I am sure | can fulfil them. Itis very inconvenient to have to keep a promise made long before circumstances occurred render- ing the fulfilment of the promise undesirable; and it is more inconvenient still to break a promise. So it is always best to wait until you know if you can do a thing before you promise co doit. That's my opinion at least.” “Well, then, Mr. President, I suppose you can read that paragraph in the papers with equanimity, How about the appointment of Brigham Young's son as a West Point cadet? Your attention ts culled to that mutter this morning.”’ “What have Ito do wlth that? If there ts any blame to be attached to any one on that account it will not be tome. Iknew nothing about it, nor do I ever know anything about the appointment of cadets, excepting of those lam myself authorized to make, The law allows me to make ten APPOINTMENTS TO THE ACADEMY each year. 1 am pretty careful to select from the applicants the sons of soldiers killed tn action and from the sons of men who have Joue the State ser- vice, These boys have & certain right to the ap- pointments above ail others, and the country at least owes them the recompense a good education will give. The appointments | made this year were of that character. Now the law gives to each Con- gressional district the appowwtinent of one cadet each year, The member of Congress makes the nomination and sends it to the Secretary of War. He sends it probably te the wppomtinent clerk in his office, the necessary order is made and the thing is done. The politics of the member of Congress de- termines the politics of the boy selected; and so it ts that there is always at the Point a party majority about equal to the majority of the dominant party in Congress. Now, about this matter of BRIGHAM YOUNG'S SON. He was appointed by Hooper, the Delegate from Ulah, [knew nothing of it untill saw something about it inthe papers. Provably the Secretary of War never noticed the name on the nomination paper.” “But what will be done about tt, Mr. Presiaent? You have a good mem- BC Wil not the Mormons be likely to argue from this quast recognition by the govern. ment of polygamy, in the appointment of the son of Young to West Potnt, that their other and larger claims will be favorably considered when presente “[aon't think they wil. They know very well how cadets are appointed, Had I known of Rooper’s intention I certainly would have asked the Atvorney General whether I had the power under the law to prevent the appointment, and if advised afirma- tively 1 would have settied (he matter there and then.” “As the affair now stands what to do, sir?” “LT have not determined on dotng anything. Lam endrely blameless, and am not accountable for what has been done. You stated the case strongly, how- ever, and 1 do you propose WILL THINK ©F It." “A good deal of comment, Mr. Prestoent,” I then remarked, “was made in democratic papers on ac- count of your supposed unwillingness (to appoint the son of the late General Thomas Francis Meagher to West Point Academy.” “And just as baseless asthe charge against me concerning Young’s son. Certain parties came w me and asked the appointment of Meagher's son, and I marked his application to be favorably con- aidored, When. some time after, | semt the aupoint- ments to the War Ofice, Meagher's was returned to me with the endorsement that the appifeant had already been appoinied by Mr. Roosevelt, a New York memoer of Congress, TUE CASK OF MR. MEAGHER was one very interesting to me, and was withfe the rule I have expiaimed to you. His friends were too impatient." “You made no promise to the parties who went to you, sir, that you would certainly appoint General Meagher’s son ¥"' “Why no; I told you before what I thought of hasty promises, 1 am reticent on such occasions.” “Will you excuse me, sir, for recalling wo your recollecuon a ment that appeared some time since to the effect that you were sorry for promising to be tie republican candidate YOR THE PRESIDENCY? 1 don’t think that it was ever contradicted,” The President laughed and threw away his elgar. “I wasn’t sorry to be a candidate, but I was very sorry to leave the command of the army, There appeared to be @ unanimity im the pubilc mind before the nomination was made that I should be the nominee of the re- publican party, and it seemed to me that it would be impossible to concentrate on any other candidate. Oi course won’tsay that any other candidate could not be elected by the republicans, but my acceptance certainly relieved the party from the danger of disagreement and dissension, and made it solid and compact. I consented to give up a life ofice fora tewporary, though a higher one, for good reasons. I believed that if A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT was elected there would be Littie chance for those who fought for the Union, They would certainly have got rid of the oMice of Commander-in-Chiel of the Army, and so sh: dime. Believing tus I went into the contest in earnest, These were the motives that actuated me. I think they were correet, At least I am not sorry that 1 a “General your suce Wootd he take the nomination “Well (alter a pause), I don’) know. and Lare warm iriends, and Lam not speak fur him. Of one Ung I feel pretty certain, howeyer, and that is, that Sherman won't stand on any platform the democrats will make, See wnat the Ohio democrais are doing. In thetr new de parture’ platform: they adhere to the repudiation plank, Thatis not much of & eeparture trom the old stand.’ “But they have thrown over all the other dead issues.”” “Phat does not matter, Wendleton, Davis aud THE FIRE-EATING SOCTHERNERS will pull them In fact, they have done Itnow, No, sir; Sherman can have no aMlation with suck men. He 1s no democrat, and never was. He probably knows very well that if the democracy sic ceeded, the Southern leaders, Who are Stull Hostile to the Unton of the States, and, i that view, enemies of the republic, would gain possession of ut ernment and before long annul, so far as they the acts of the republican party. That will hardly be permitted, in this century at least.” “1 notuce, Mr. President, tiat you do not seem Much disturbed about these new party movements South and West,”’ “No, L think ever that the couutry is effects of the war,’ “Nevertheless, the flaancial policy of your admin- istration does not seem popular, Mr. President.’? “Well, L think it 1s about as popular as any policy Would be which was based on the reduction vl TUB NATIONAL DEI We have done very well.

Mr. Boutwell will remain Secretary of the Treasury, and there will be no change in ihe financial policy of the government. I am satisfied with both, and, not- Withstauding tie opposition of some of the public journals to the Secretary, I believe the country geu- erally 1s satisfied with him. “You said, Mr. President, when I saw you on Fri- day, that Mr. Fish would remain im the Cavines Wu the reported disagreement between him and the Russian Minister have the effect. of qualitying your decision in that respect 1” “No; I suppose the affair to which you allude was very trivial. 1 don’t know the facts sufl.ciently well now to feel justifed in speaking further on the mat- ter. It will be reported to me, of course, and 1 will then be able to say what I shalldo about tt, It, in- deed, 1t will be worth while doing anything.’ “In any case it is not likely to be a second King William-Benedettt affatr ” “No, indeed,” replied the President, with a staile. “THE RELATIONS OF KUSSIA with this government are, as they always have been, very cordial, and it would take much to dis- turb them.'? “The Prince Alexis will, I suppose, receive a warm welcome on his arrival here?” “Yes, his reception by the citizens wili, I have no doubt whatever, be very hearty. The government will receive him with the same honors as were ac- corded the son of the Queen of Great Britain, There Will be a squadron in New York w greet him when he arrives.”” The hour for luncheon having arrived I took my leave, and the President retired to read the papers. He wuil leave to-morrow morning by the early boat for New York, and put up at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. In the evening he will take the boat for West Point. ompany him, To THE PUBL The article appearing in a datly paper of Saturday morning last (and from that paper copied by the press), entitled “Foster’s Plea,’ although bearing my signature, Was not written nor its pubiication authorized by me.
