The President is really going to execute the Act for

the mili- tary government of the South which he vetoed,—and so, no doubt, will avoid impeachment. He has appointed Generals. Schofield, Sickks, Ord, Thomas, and Sheridan to be commanders of the five districts,—all sound men. The distrust felt for the President by the now expired Congress is shown by their forbidding him in the Army Appropriation Act to remove General Grant, or to assign him duty elsewhere than in Washington, without the approval of the Senate, and requiring him to issue all his military orders through a General of the Army. Congress also ordered in the Act the disbandment of the Southern Militia. The new military riginte had commenced in the Carolinas.
