Personal GOssiD,

The Voice Of the Fair has the follow
ing in its "Fair Gossip"
"Our lady readers who have not seen
the wives of Generals Grant and Sher-
man will no doubt be interested in
knowing how they looked and what
they wore, at the Grant reception on
Saturday, when both of these ladies
were on the platform with their distin-
guished husbands Mrs. Grant was
dressed in plain travelling attire, hav-
ing but just arrived from the cars. She
wore a white straw hat, with green
trimmings, travelling mantle and a
short black veil over her face-alto~
gether a modest, unassuming attire.
She is of medium height, not exactly
slender, and has an exceedingly cheer
full countenance She and Mrs Sher-
man are about the same size and age
probably about 35 years. Mrs. Sher-
man wore mourning, having lost a son
some months since. She is graceful
and easy in her manners and has a
pleasant face. Neither of these ladies
are handsome, but both of them are
very lady-like, modest and unpreten-
ticus-iust such women as men of good
common sense would select for wives.
" Every body who has seen Gen. Grant
remarks how much he looks like the
pictures that have been published Of
him-only that he locks somewhat
older, having some prominent wrinkles
on his face, apparently the marks of
time and care. But what a plain, hon.
est, manly physiognomy he has, and
how his characteristic quality of ffrmness
sticks out on his facial features When
he makes up his mind to fight it out
on that line, he will do it, you may wa
ger your head"

AT HONE, SBELBYvILLE, IESN',
June l6, 1865. J
GENTLEMEN: Your note of Jure =
| 1865, requesting me to become a candi
date for Congress, from the 4th Congress
ional District of the State of Tennessee
composed of the counties of Ruther-
ford, Cannon, Coffee, Franklin, Lincoln,
Giles, Marshal and Bedford, was deiiV'
cred to me on the same day it bears
date.
I would have answered it immediate
Iy, but believed it due TO you, as well
as to myself, that we should return to
our constituents and learn what their
wishes might be on the subject.
Ours have been difficult task. We
have been laboriously engaged for
months in endeavoring to reconstruct
the "ciyil polity" of the State, out of
broken and discordant materials. 1t
has not been in our power to work mir
aeles, therefore, we must be patient,
and assist and encourage each other in
the work yet before Us.
A few days soiourn among my inn
mediate constituents, as well as person
al interviews with very many Of the
qualified voters from the counties
which you respectively represent, has
satisfied me that they cordially approve
of your choice.
To say that am profoundly grateful
for such manifestations of esteem and
respect is but feebly to express, my
thoughts and feelings Hence, &C
cept the position rendered to me, and
hereby announce myself candidate
for seat in the next Congress from
the 4th Congressional District.
Words fail me in expressing to you
individually my sincere thanks for this
OF your confidence IN my
integrity and loyalty, and esteem it
the more highly, coming from you as
members of the Legislature with whom
l have been associated for the past two !
months.
All that 1 can promise you, and |
through you your constituents, if elect |
ed, is that l will devote myself to their
interests with the same energy, the |
same industry, and the same loyalty |
that marked my course whilst in the |
Accept, therefore, my kindest re-
CARDS, and believe me,
Now as ever, your friend,

GEN. Grant KIssed By be FaIr LadIes

''~N " ~ A~h A"NAN'
From the Voice of De Far.
On Monday, at o clock, the Genera
performed the greatest military move
ment of his life. He performed a sue
cesstul flank movement on the people
o. Chicago, and visited Union Hall in
quiet and peace, remaining there till 10
o'clock. There were present a large
number OF the most beautiful 'aids,
and the General was instantly sur
rounded by the volunteer staff Here
a most laughable incident occurred.
Mrs LiVermore said to him, General
Grant these girls are dying to kiss you,
but they don't dare to do it" "Well," {"
said the gallant General, ''if they want
to kiss me why don't they2 Nobody
has offered TO since | have been here"
Instantly about a hundred fairies
pounced upon him. He attempted to
retreat, but in vain; he essayed to
break through the rosy ranks, without
success. Then, for the first time, he
confessed himself vanquished, and
calmly awaited the event. Never was
such man subjected % such an ordeal
On came the maidens by squads, in
file, or singly; they hit him on the
forehead; pelted him on the nose;
smacked him on the cheek, chin or
neck. There must be d1zens of kisses
lying around loose. hidden in the Cen
erals whiskers. During the terrible
ordeal, the hero of hundred battle
fields blushed till his face became al
most purple. At last the girls were
partly appeased in their ''noble rage,
and he escaped.

President JOhnsOn'S Views OF Negro
.s. Suffrage.

WARRINGTON, June Is.
The most pointed views of President
johnson on negro suffrage, have .iust
been made to the delegation of Qua
kers, who called on him with petitions
asking that the influence and power of
the Government may be so welded as
to secure to all persons, without distinc-
ton, equality in the right Of franchise
In response, President Johnson said ne
would not make a speech, but would
talk to them in the spirit of friendship
and fraternal regard He wished 10
talk to them as though they were 81
members of the same family. He told
them of the difficulties in the way of
comforting the right of suffrage, as they
desired, and gave them many instances
of his experience among the slaves of
the South, whose habits and feelings he
professed thoroughly to understand.
But one great act might be said to have
been fully accomplished by the wsr,
after the restoration of the Union, and
that was the complete abolition OF
slavery. There weie many other things
that would require time to accomplish,
and among these might be the question
Q suffrage.
The President referred to his own ex'
perience in the rebellion, and to the
fact that while he had suffered person.
ally and pecuniarily, and in other ways,
he bad no complaints to make, but
would do his best 10 bring peace and
order to the country.

Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs will
be able IN state that distinctly.

Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs vii
be able TO state that distinctly.
Mr. Layard-The case is very simple
The original demand was that contain
ed in papers which have been laid on
the table of the House last year, or al
the end of the present session. When
ever cases have arisen, whether solita-
ry or otherwise, of vessels captured by
ths Alabama and other ships of that
nation, Mr.. Adams, in putting forward
the particular case, has reiterated the
original claim almost in the same words.
A short time ago, in note which reach
ed Her Majesty's Government before
the death of President Lincoln, that
demand was incidentally renewed in
words almost identical with the origi-
nal claim That is the state il, which
the case rests at present. There has
been no fresh demand, neither has the
claim been Withdrawn. The demands
which have been made of late are con-
tinuations Of the original demand.
The Daily News has the following
upon this debate:
If notification Of losses by the Ala
bama or any other vessels of her class,
based, as they all were, on the original
claim made by the Government of the
United States, and accompanied by a
of that claim, constitutes
the formal demand" which has been
so much spoken of, then formal de-
mands" have been made without inter
ruption for the last two years. If those
are not to be so consider
ed, then, after Mr.. Layard's explana-
lion, the statement that formal de-
nand has lately been made falls to the
ground In any case, nothing has hap |
oened to jnstify the assertion that the |
Of the Union armies, or the |
leaIh of Mr. Lincoln and the success
ZION of Mr.. johnson, have been follow
I'd by a change in the policy of the |
United States. The public must have
lad enough of this controversy, but the
that have been made
we're 80 mischievous that it was impos-
ible not to notice and expose their
alsehood. And if we are not mistaken, |
he public will distinguish between
hose who, for partisan purposes, and
egardless of consequences, have striVen
o mislead it, and those who have main
aimed the truth in the face of the most
inventions.
