or required of a horse he should b male to
do;;, yet 'nothing unreasonable, 6 " what lie
does not know how, and is able to 16, should,
be required of him. When you halve tiught
a horse tjiat you arc his friend, and master.
you laid the foundation ot complete success
in his management. " '!',' '
If you are afraid :oi' horse, do not go:
nearhim, and haYe nothing to do Jwith him ,
pcrsbnally, till von make him. ear you. A
horse knows when his driver is afraid of him,
alndhe will have his own way accordingly;
but ho horse should lie expoctcil to do what
has never been taught him to do. Vou mighj,

of his uditerini secretaryship in the rooms for

of the headquarters of the armies will be trans-;

General Townsend will retain supervision over
that class 01 business in tne y arepartment j

will be interesting to know that General Grant
looks upon his assignment to the War Depart
ment by the President in the light of a milita
ry order,- which he had no right . to decline
obeying, nor even the right to protest against.
He and Mr.- btanton have rully, understood
each other from the first develppment pf ; the
attempt to oust the latter from office, and it is
understood that in their; conferences retrard-
ing the matter: they discussed at length '.the
influence of the acceptance bf the . assignment
on Grant s political status, as welfas the wcll-
khown efforts of' certain parties to identify:
him with the policy 01 the administration.
