What Grant Said.

A friend who was with General Grant
Immediately after the capitulation of Lee.
relates a conversation which that brave
and modest soldier had with his wife and
a staff officer at City Point. 'sWell, Gen
eral,'' said the latter, you will go up to
Richmond to morrow. l SUPPOSE mo
said Gen. Grant, l have days work in
Washington, and then l want to go on
with Mrs. Grant to New Jersey and sec
the children" Whats to be done at
Washington p was the astonished reply !;
zone would like to see the inside of the
city you have been pounding at for a
year" Said General Grant: Why we
must stop the draft let the sick soldiers
that can travel home and want TO be paid
off be sent home to their friends, and
begin to cut down expenses. If there is
no more fighting to do, we have more
than enough men to do it,
The General went to Washington as
he had planned, making no triumphal
entry into Richmond, put the sick sol
diers in the way of getting home nursing,
set the War Department to reducing
expenses, and then fastened to Burling
ton with Mrs. Grant to tssee the children"
He had hardly reached the depot there
before he was recalled by the assassina-
ton of the President. His return to
Washington from North Carolina, where
Johnston's surrender to Gen. Sherman
makes the assurance of peace doubly
sure, is signalized by similar orders, all
tending to lift off the people the griev
Gus burdens of war orders for retrench-
ing expenditures, stopping manufac
turers Of arms, discharging convalsecent
soldiers, cancelling the charters Of need
less vessels, and whatever else may tend
to the speedy restoration of a happy and
lasting peace

When President johnson brought before his
Cabinet Sherman's shabby peace memoranda"
he is reported to have said. ,Gen,lenen. the
proposition is not debatab!e, and only submit
il to ask you how il is TO be set aside" This
has the ring Of the true Jacksonian metal
Buchanan cunctasof ard such professional
statesmen would not thus promptly have called
