Revealed-A Scorching Re? view of thc Bx-Seeretary'a Course. We have heretofore published, through our correspondence, tho main points of the message transmitted by Piesiient Johnson to the Senate assigning his roasons for suspending Mr. Stanton from the War Department. Tho message has since be^u published in full, and contains state? ment- and reasonings tho ibrco of which wo pro? pose now to further notico . The President begins by quoting his letter to Mr. Stanton, of August 12, suspending him from office, and that to Genoral Grant, directing him to enter upon the discharge of the duties of the War Department, after which Mr. Stanton's reply is giver, in which ho denies the right of the Presi? dent, under the constitution and laws of the Unit? ed States, to snsp. nd him without the consent of the Senate. The President next gives his note to Mr. Stanton, of the 5th August, in which he in? forms him that "public considerations of a high character constrain"' bim to say that Mr. Stanton's "resignation of the War Depaitment will be ac? cepted," and Mr. Stanton's reply, in which that functionary retorts that "pr ilic considerations of a high character, which alone have induced mo to continue at the head of this department, constrain me not to resign tho office of Secretary of War be? fore the next meeting of Congress." The following calm and cogent commentary by the President disposes very effectually of Mr. Stanton's "consi? derations," and places that individual in the unen? viable light of professing himself compelled by a sense of public duty, under the constitution, "to assume the vindication of a law whicu, under the solemn obligations of public duty, imposed by the constitution itself, ho had advised the President was a violation of that constitution." The Presi? dent says: "This language is vory significant. Mr. Stanton holds the position unwi.,iui?ly. Ho continues in office- only under a sense of high public duty. He is ready to leave wheu it is safe to leave, and as the danger he apprehends from his removal then will not exist when Congress is hero, he is con? strained to remain during the interim. What, then, is that danger which cai only be averted by the presence of Mr. Stanton or of Congress ? Mr. Stanton does not say that 'public considerations of a high character' constrriu him to hold on to the office indefinitely. He does not say that no one other than himself can at any time be found to take his pine? ai 1 perena its duties. On the oontriry, he expresses a desire to leave the office at the earliest moment consistent with these high public considerations. He says, in effect, that while Congress is away he must remain, but that when Congress is here he can :o. In other words, he has lost confidence in tho President. He is un? willing to leave the War Department in his hands, or in tho hands cf any ono the President may appoint or designate to perform its duties. If be resigns the President may appoint a Secretary of War that Mr. Stanton does not approve. Therefore he will not resign. But when Cougress is in ses? sion the President cannot aj.ooint a Secretary of War which the Sonate does not approve. Con? sequently, when Congress in co s, Mr. Stant:n is ready to resign. "Whv.tever < ogency these 'considerations' may have h .td upon Mr. Stanton, whatever right he may have had to entertain such considerations, whatever propriety there murin be in the expres? sion of them to otheis, one thing is certain, it was officiel misconduct, to say the least of it, to parade them before bis superior officer. "Upon the receipt ot this extraordinary note, I only delayed the order of suspension long enough to make the necess try arrangements to fill the office. If this were the only cause for hie suspen? sion, it would be ampio. Necessarily it must end our most important official relations, for I cannot imagine a degree of effrontery whio i would em? bolden the head of a department to take his seat at the council ta ole in tho executive mansion after such an act; nor can I imagine a President so for? getful of the proper respect and dignity which be? long to his office as to submit to such intrusion. I will not do Mr. Stanton tho wrong to suppose that he entertained any idea of offering to act as one of my constitutional advisers aftor that note was written. Thero was an interval of a week be? tween that dato and the order of suspension, du? ring which two cabinet meetings were held, Mr. Stanton did not present himself at either, nor was M^Ld-expecteil. ?On tho 12th of August Jlr. Stanton was rotified suspension. anL*M| General Grjit hicLl ^^^ho. izei^^^^^^^L^'c ol' tba1. JL't?3q|fl M*ffejft"(*fl HL|ti!ic.itiu#i"i^ Bi?ydaa? to \.

In this note of August 12, a new and ditieror.t sense of public duty compels him to deny the President's right to snspjnd him from office without the consent of the 8enate. Thia last ts the public duty of resisting an act con? trary to law, and he charges the President with violation of the law in ordering his suspension. " Mr. Stanton refers generally to the ' constitu? tion and 1:~V8 of the United States,' and says that % sense of public duty 'under' these, compols him to deny the right of tho President to suspend him from office. As to his senso of duty under the constitution, that will be considered in tho sequel. As to his sense of duty under 'tho laws of tho United States,' he certainlv cannot refer to the law which creates tho War Department ; for that expressly confers upon thc President the unlimi? ted right to remove the hoad of the department. The only other law bearing upon tue question ia the tenure of office act passed bv Congress, over the Presidential veto, M ireh 2,1SG7. This is the law which under a senso of public duty Mr. Stanton volunteers to defond. "There is no provision in this law which com? pels any officer coming within its provisions to ro? main in office. It forbids removals, not resigna? tions. Mr. Stanton was perfectly free to resign at aDy moment? either upon Iris own motion, or in compliance with a request or an order. It was a matter of choicoorof taste. There was nothing compulsory in the nature of legal obligatio:). Nor does he put his action upou that imperative ground. He says ho acts under a 'sense of public duty,' not of legal obli?rD*'ou, compelling him to hold on, and leaving him no choice. The public duty which is upon him arises from the respect which he owes the cons'ttutiou and tho laws, v.o lated in his own case. He is, therefore, compelled by this sense of public duty to vindicate violated law, and to stand as its champion. "This was not the first occasion in which Mr. Stanton, in discharge of a public duty, was called upon to consider tho provisions of that law. That tenore-oi-office law did not pass without notice. Like other acts, it was sent to tho President for approval. As is my custom, I submitted its con? sideration to my Cabinet for their advice upon thc question whether I should approve it or not. It was a grave question of constitutional kw, i i which I would, of course, rely most upon tho opinion of the Attorney-General, and of Mr. Stan? ton, who had once been Attorney-General. "Every member ol' my Cabinet advised me that the proposed law was unconstitutional. All spoke without doubt or reservation; but Mr. Stanton's condemnation of the law was thc most elaborate and emphatic. Ho referred to the constitutional provisions, the debates in Congress, especially to tue speech of Mr. Buchanan when a Senator, to tho decisions of the Supremo Cou**;, and to the usage from the beginning of the government through every successive administration, all con? curring to establish the right of removal as vcjtcd by the- constitution m the President. To all these Lo addedithp weight ol'his owu deliberate judg? ment, and advised me that it was my dutv to de? fend the power ot the President Iroui usurpation and to veto tho law. Tho President was so much struck with tho full mastery of the subject manilestod by Mr. Stauton that, being himself engaged with a veto upon the pending reconstruction act, he requested him to preparo the veto upon the tenure-of-office bill, which he declined on the ground of physical disa? bility to undergo the labor of writing, but s tated his readiness to furnish what aid might be re? quired in the preparation of mat'-rials for the pur? pose. At the time thc subject was before the Cabinet it seemed to be takeu for granted that as to those members of thc Cabinet who had been ap? pointed by Mr. Lincoln, their tenuro of office was not fixed by tho provisions of the act. The Presi? dent does not remomber that tho point was dis? tinctly decided, but he weil recollects that it was suggested by one member of the Cabinet, who was appointed by Mr. Lincoln, and that no dissent was expressed. The President next passes v a to the plan of re? construction, which he says was not originated by him, but bad been prepared (as bcrotoforo shown by General Grant's and Mr. Stanton's testimony) for Mr. Lincoln by Mr. Stanton, his Secretary of War, and its introduction aud appro* ai were the first business transacted in cabinet alter Mr. John? son became President. As a difference of policy between Congress and tho Prende nt became sub? sequently developed, several members of the Cabinet, finding themselves iu sympathy with Congress, resi .ned, portius;, however, with tho President with mutual respect, ibis was in 186U The President adds : "The subsequent sessions of Congress develop? ed new com plications when tho stiiTrago bill for the District of Columbia and the reconstruction actu of .Mareil 2 and March 23, 1807, all passed over the veto. It waa ii cabinet consultations upon these buts that a din'eieiiee of opinion upon tho mose vital points was developed. Upon these questions t?tere was perfect accord between all the members of the Cabinet and myself except Mr. Stanton. He stood alone, and the difference of opinion could not be reconciled. That unity of opinion which, upon great questions of public pjlicy or administration, is so e&sent al to the Executive, is gone. "I do not claim that a head of department bnould have no other opinions than those of the Presi dent, ?ic has tho Baine righi, in thc conscientious discharge of duty, to entertain and express his own opinions us" has the President. What I do chim is that the President is thc rcaponsible head ut tba idmini?tratioii, and when the opinions of a head department aro irrecoucila ly opposed to tho.-o ol tho President, in trravc matters of policy and administration, there is but one result which can solve the difficulty, and that is a severance of tho ofhc al relation. This, in the past history of the government, has always been thc rule, and it is a wise one; for such differences of opinion among its members mUat impair toe efficiency of any ad? ministration." Tho President next refera to the well-known fact of Mr. Stanton not having acted upon or commu? nicated to him the dispatch from General Baird, received prior to the INew Orleans riots, as a spe? cial ground of delinquency. Tho President knew nothing of its existence until ten days after it came into Mr. Stanton's hands, and not until after tao riot, which, the President believes, would have been averted if thc Secretary of War, had given General Baird proper instructions as de? sired. In conclusion, tho President remarks that, un? pleasant as this necessary change in his Cabinet has been to him upon personal considerations, he ha? thc consolation to bo assured that, BO iar us the public interests are conctrned, thero is no cause for regret, salutary reforms having been in? troduced by the Secret .ry ad interim and great re? duction of expenses, to the saving of millions to tho treasury. Winter Fashion* In Kew- York. [From the Kew York Post, December 23 ] The winter bonnets arc models of artistic skill. White bonnets are much worn, not only at eve? ning entertainments, opera and theatre, but are fashionable on ad dress occasions. STYLES OF BONNETS. A pretty bonnet of white material ?B noticeable for the chasteness of its style. It has a slight crown, with narrow, staudiug front. The material is plain in the centro, but has four plaits on each side, running from tho edge of thc front to thc back of the crown. A band of Bismark velvet covers the joining of the front aud crown, crossing the edge of the latter. This is tho only outsido decoration, and a fall of nat row blonde, a spray of foigct-me-nots, form the inside trimming. The strin s aro white. A pretty bonnet for evening is of pink tulle, shirred over a Fanchon shape, with a slight point in front, and edged with narrow blonde, and hav? ing wide pink strings. Worn ny a brunette, it is exceedingly becoming. A handsomo carnage bonnet is of golden brown velvet, odgod with whito b.onde, plaited full at the back, and having a cluster of brilliant flowers in front. A black velvet has a fall ot black point lace dependiug from t .e crown, a cluster of whito velvet leaves in front, and scarfs of velvet edged with white blondo failing at thc side. Black velvet bonnets made plain, with no outside trimming but a fold or two, and a bandeau of some bright color or a spray of flowers, aro chaste and pretty. In round hats the "sensation" shape is, perhaps, most worn. It hes a low crown and narrow droop? ing brim. Anothor style has a low crown and nar? row brim, slightly robed at tho sides. The turban shape also has many admirers, and thero is always such a variety of styles that each particular fancy may be suited. A new featuro observable in millinery is pat? tern bonnets that are not expensive. These are composed of a real frame-one of the best-cov? ered and trimmed with paper ot harmonizing colors, to imitate thu style of real trimmings.. Those designs give the samo ideas as a pattern bonnet costing thirty dol?is, and can bo pur? chased for a small sum. CLOAKS. In cloaks thero is more than ihe usual variety this season, the prevailing stylos being sack and paletot. Manj' of the loose sacks have wide ribbon sashes attached to the sido seams, and tied at thc back with long onds. These sashes are also worn with the new style of pelisse. Among the new styles recently brought out a few with tho ap? propriate namos are worthy of notice. "The Espa na" is of black beaver, sack shape, and trimmed with black satin folds and jets. From the shoulders tho trimming curvea toward the centre, at, the waist, from which each descei. 3 separately, widening into sash ends that are tipped with jet fringe. A pretty cio*k, called thc "Mariline,'' is of black velvet edged with chinchilla fur. A cloak of Hum? boldt purple cloth has a wide sash at the back, and is trimmed with heavy satin folds. This is styled tho "Grattan." Tho ' Almahale" ip rather unique. It is slocv*^ less, falling loosely over tho arms, and is mo>??of black cloth, with narrow, short strjupsr-^f" scarlet cloth crossed with gold braid-*Tnamenting the edge. TherenotfTover tho arm; this, with epaulott/f^gjvr* it the appearance of having steer is^iJ/aandsome black velvet cloak is trimmed withjfSJyskin. It is sackshapod, and is cut in four rut the bottom, ^elegant opera cloak, the "Selika," is of white [satin, elaborately embroidered and edged with Lwii.i down. Another, a beautiful opera cloak, [tie "Espriolla," is of whito velvet embroidered j.virh floss, it is circulai' iorm, with wido sleeves, i no collar is in form of a yoko at the back, thc corners tu;rning bactt in front. DBESS MODES. Tho short walking dress continues popular, and appears to bc a permanent improvement. No other style of dress is so well adapted to walking, particularly in winter. But there is a new style of dress which can easily bo adapted to both the house ead the street. The skirt is full and goted with a train, having a belt of the same material, with sash ends at tho buck. Along tho folds of thc skirt is a button, and when leaving the house this is raised to a loop under the sash, fastening the dress gracefully, and making it tho right length. On entering aga n the Lutton is eaB?y slipped from the loop. This is a decided improve? ment wben a lady wishes to mako calls, and does not keep her carriage; but for ordinary s;rcet wear tho shor, dress is loss voluminous aud preferable. The latest styles of walking suits aro made of cloth, with dress and sack to match, and trimmed with black satin piping or narrow f dds. The most econcmical and most useful, because the most durable, aro the walking suits made of water-proof cloth, and when neatly made they look well. Serge, winsev, tweed and silk arc each much used for suits or dresses for walking, and over them a cloak of heavy material is worn. Materials for dinner dresses, evening wear and grund receptions, were never more rich or elegant than now. Low necks and short sleeves aro more worn than formerly-a style that ruins the health of many who follow it. A neat evening ureas was recently worn of white silk veined or cbenod, with just enough black to slightly tinge the grouud. It was cut with high bodice at the back, the tront ?ow and square, Pom? padour style, and worn over an underwaist of lace. It was becoming, and loss injurious to thc health than low neck and abort sleeves. COLORED MEN LEAVING THE LOVAL LEAGUES. The Warrenton (Va.) Index publishes the follow? ing card Crom Beverly Thornton, colored, of that place, to a citizon, which explains itself: Mr. J. L. F.-Having been a member of the Fnion League, with thc understanding that it was tbe best step to take to pr moto pea.-e, but now seeing that it Ls a peace-breaker of thiscomtnunitv, and being a lover of peace at all times, I do with? draw therefrom. Yours, very trill v. BEVERLY THORNTON. Wo aro requested, says tho Index, by Daniel Brown, carpenter, colored, to say thai lie "has also withdrawn from tho Lcaguo * for th^ reasons assigned in tho above card of Thornton. Wm. Webster, blacksmith, wishes tho public tokno.v that he hus withdrawn from the League, and trill not hereafter havo anything to do with it. Minor Grayson, blacksmith, goes a step further. He will have nothing to do with the League, and promises to vote thc Conservative white luau's ticket. Music OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH.-A meeting has been lately held to discus:; the present style of music ot the Episcopal Church, in Boston. The "quartet choira" aro not liked, and the stvle of church nii'sic is olten not considered suitable for the sanctuary. At a convocation to be held ir January, choral music is to be presented al thc churches of St. Paul, Trinity aud Emmanuel. At two of our city churches, the Advent and Messiah, eu-, ced choirs ol men aud boys perform the music, which ia or the grandest aiid niost simple style, aud the whole congregation unite iu this sublime and solemn service. Gregorian chants are mainly sung, with psalms and bvmns of a very plain but grand character. Full choral services will probably be soiut iui.ro lucod ai th? o th or churches mentioned obovo, as th? present music does not give general satisfaction.-Uor'.c.i Travel? ler, Ikcembir 21st. -.?The bark Texas, from Bremen, arrived at Gal? veston on the 11th inst., with twa hundred German immigrants, who intend settling m the Lone Star State.
