Grant md Sherman on Tcnura

An anecdote is told of Grant and Sherman
which Is too good to be lost. It will be re,
ntHbered that some months ago the rebel
Congress at Richmond, with great conf]ezcen-
sion, passed set Of resolutions rendering to
TIE people Of the great Northwest the free na-
viEation of the "Father Of Wa'ers,' on con.
dltlou lat they would Iay down their arms
and acknowledge the Southern CoDfaderacy.

tiohs to carry tho T:llahatchee liues bv a

river, fur the capture Of every stronghold by
which that river was held. In the midst Of
these plans and calculations, and while these
two officers we're comforting together, Gen,

The Toronto G'ode publishes the details Of
the transfer Of the Hudson's Bay Compauy's
property to 3 new association. The gisA Of
the affair L., that the fur trade and all other
property, rights and interests Of the old mon-
opoly are sold to new company. Of rather
more extensive capital, with q fresh board Of
management. and probably some larger aud
broader ideas and Intentions. The position of
the public questions in which the old COM
pany we're concerned Is but little altered by
the transfer. The consent Of the Colonial
Secretary has not been asked in making the
arrangements. Sir Edmund Hall is Governor
Of the new company. The half continent
which the Hudson's Bay Company has ruled
so long Is still to be ruled By Joint stock
corporation in London, and the same un-
founded claim will doubtless be set up to the
possession Of the land as well as the trade Of
the Northwest, as Was practically asserted By
its predecessor at Red River.
