THE POPULARITY AND PosITGOy OF GEN. GRANT.
The universal popularity of Lieutenant General
Grant and the unrivalled position which he occupies
above all cliques, factions and parties were never
better illustrated than at his reception at Washing
ton on Friday evening, an account of which we pub
lished yesterday. The excitement about the vote on
the veto was at its height and the feeling on both
sides was very bitter; but representatives of all
shades of national and political opinions met at
General Grants house as upon neutral ground.
President Johnson was present and assisted the zen,
eral to receive his guests. Among those VINO caiiea
TO paw their respects was MIR. Tha1deus Stevens.
Quite as prominent as this radical Stevens was the
ex- rebel Stephens, of Georgia. The Marquis de
Montholon encountered Senior Romero and the wife
of President Juarez. Secretary McCulloch elbowed
Mr.. Freeman Clarke, Montgomery Blair and his
Congressional opponents, engaged IN friendly dis
course. In the presence of General Grant there was
n truce to all hostilities. This shows the truly ma
tional-we may say the universal-iame OF the Lieu
tenant General, and the remarkably liberal and com
prehenslve scope OF his Character. NO man since
Washington has ever held so conspicuous, so central
and so acknowledged a position as the true represen'
tative of the whole country, towering above all differ
ences of politics and opinions-N. y. Herald.
