»th, »» Indications flf the War" l>e part- a renewal of con i;,%#tween the Seertaiy Sheridan, and it is it an order by the Presl- fortlicomltijf upon tho re- "Secrerary of War. which I be the limits of authority WtAiiant general In exact terms ^iVmllar difficulties will be ob- lii the'future. This conflict so.<!» "Secretary of War and rtdan is nothing new. but that the whole matter ^permanently settled. S^me _ _ e before the close of Secre* Lincolu'a administration,; the i-retary was embarrassed by what considered the unauthorized as- «attif»tlon of power by Lieutenant pieneral Sheridan In Issuing orders to she army without the direction or ap­ proval of the Secretary of War, arid he felt compelled to call General Sherl* «1 aii's attention te the matter. The !wsl! known independent disposition tiftlie latter rendered him loath to ^recognize any higher authority that >*is own In connectfou with the military H» alters, and a very inarp correspon­ dence resulted, which was, concluded fey Secretary Lincoln's final letter to the Lieutenant General stating just tiow for h!s individual authority ex tended In controlling the army, as in­ terpreted from law, and adding in tftect if the lieutenant general Ins ted in assuming the prerogatives of the Secre tat y of War; the interference ; % f the executive would have to be in toked. From what can be learned it appears that ^Ir. Lincoln's prompt action did not have the desired effect, aud is understood that the new Secre tary has called upon the President to interfere In the matter. Just what *he cxpected executive order will con- lain cannot be learned but it is under­ stood to be a radical one, which will vftectuallr prevent a recurrence of the difficulty. There is a floating rumor, apropos of the unpleasantess between the .Secretary of War an J Gen. Sheridan, to the effect that Army headquarter? were to be removed to Chicago. Such :i change is within the range of pos t-ibilities. A law was passed in 18G7 fixing the headquarters of the army permanently at Washington, but in j870 that was repealed. Accordingly In 1874, at the request of Gen. Sher- •uan, and with the consent of the President, the headquarters were transferred to St. Louis, April 6. 187G. the President with no reference to legislation, re established the head- quarters at Washington. There has Leen no legislati >n which would pre- *.-«nt a transfer to Chicago now if •leemed advisable. It is impossible, however, for Gen. Haucock or any : other officer to succeed Gen. Sheridan under the circumstances. y General Sheridan Is much liked r socially in Washington, and is a man of simple tastes. He is more proud of jame trophies adorning his house than of anything else. On the walls of his hall are several magnificent deer Heads, mountain sheep, and goat. The latter is so rare that but tiiree others known. One of these belongs te General Sickles. In the dining room are several verities of quail, and on a pedestal i« a splendid specimen of the wild turkey, with shining bronzed feathers. It came from the Indian Territory, and from a spot discovered and named by him "Sheridan's Roost." Mrs. Sheiidan hast favorite picture which rests on an easel in the parlor* It shows a long stretch of dusty road nnd a single hone in an riding for life, "to Winchester, twenty miles awiy." A la ly who has held sweet commun­ ion with Appointment Clerk Higgins sends me the following roseate view of him: "Appointment Clerk Higgins id making himself personally agreeable to those who have occasion to call on Mm, He isn't half so black as he's l»een painteJ. In fact, he's a blonde, and looks leke a village doctor of the benign, half-featherly type. Suavity is ne name lor his politeness. He is pleasant and courteous to men and women alike, and quick to answer questions. He doesen't sit in his chair !ike a grand mogul and compel you £to approach him tremblingly and abjectly .'ike a1>egger or servant, after the man ner of Butler, who was Such a terror, to women clerks {so long.

Col. Lamont, the President's private secretary, is somewhat Improved in Health, and was able to-day to take a carriage ride into the country. It is not expected, however, that he will be iuliy able to resume his d'uties before next Monday. Cel. Lamont and his family are now guests at the White House at the urgent request of the President. It 1b also expected that r* they will accompany the President to tlM Soldier's Home in a few weeks.
