Gossip ab0nt General Grant---The VeXed
Question of the Generals Politics Settled at
last---Mrs. Grant says Her Husband is a very
Obstinate Man

Many inquiries have been made about Gen.
Grants politics. l am happy to inform your
readers from his own lips to what party he
| belongs and under what banner he marches.
time in this city, Mnhas been passing some
at the West, before he was made Lieeftl Grant
General, the friend said to him: General,
| have been inquired of to-day about your
politics" did you give the party any in
formation J" was the quiet query 81 did
not, was the answer, for don't know what
your politics are" Knocking the ashes from
his cigar, the General continued: "WhenI
resided at the South, [ had the opinions and
prejudices of Southern people against the Re-
publican party. l brought those opinions
and prejudices with me when | came to Hi
nois. Had taken an active part in politics
L should have been with the party opposed to
the Republicans. [ watched Mr.. Lincoln's
course, and was satisfied with his patriotism.
But these are not the times for parties. In
deed, in this crisis there can but two parties
those for the country, those for its foes.
[ belong to the party of the Union Those
who are the most earnest in carrying on the
war and putting down the rebellion have my
support. AS soldier obey the laws and
execute the orders Of all my superiors I
expect every man under me to do the same"
When Mrs. Grant left Washington for her
w toIcIu uOlllc SIG IcllldlllCu Il SllOTG Illne IN
New York at the Fifth Avenue Hotel Seve-
raj gentlemen called upon her, and in the
course of the conversation congratulated her
on the elevation of her husband, and express
ed hope that he would be successful in this
campaign Her whole manner, quiet, digni-
fed and reserved, seemed to express surprise
that any one could doubt his success. Paus-
ing a moment she replied az have no
doubt but the General will succeed, for he is
a very obstinate man." This remark ended
the conversation. A Galena neighbor of the
Commanding General has been stopping here
some time and seems utterly confounded with
the sudden growth of his neighbor, the tan
ner. He can't account for it, for he was
not a marked man in his home, and
nobody supposed him great man; he seldom
talked, asked no advice, gave none to any
one, but always did what he agreed to and at
