WHY GRANT DID NOT GET Tbs NOMINATION..
The New York H,rald has very bitter article
on the Times, OF that city, for defeating Grant
the Ealum Te Convention, with the help "f Con
iederatc bullets. 1t says:
On Friday last an action occurred before Rich
Iiohd, OF which Grn Grant gave the following Ell
cient account:
ave assaulted at half past four, driving the en-
envy within his entertainments at all p0 nts, but
without gaming any decisive advantage. Our
troops no" occupy position close to the enemy
some places wi'hin iiity yafds-and are remain
ing Our loss Was not severe, nor do suppose
The enemy to have lost heavily We captured
over BOD p'isoneia, mostly from Hffckinfidge -
Our own reports, and those OF all the other pa
pers, including the fist OF the reports published
by the Times, give fuller details OF this action but
do not differ La regard 10 its main features. On
Tuesday moTning, however, the Times came out
with long account If tbs battle, piinted in tho
largest type, and covering over page OF the pa

Upon this report the IVO,ld bases 4 COpperhead ar

quesinnabiy be used by SecessiOnistS abroad ike

Our readers Will remember that the Baltimore
Convention assembled on The very morning that The
Times published this report, ana we have no doubt
that il was written at the suggestion Of ChcvalieT
