Grant, stnn.sn and Lincoln.

When Grant was about to leave Wash
ington to enter upon that sublime cam
paign which began those terrible battles
in the Wilderness, and closed with the
capture of Richmond and the total over
throw of the rebellion. he called upon
Secretary Stanton to say goodbye The
Secretary was anxiously awaiting him.
During the two and half years that
the President and Secretary of War had
managed the Federal armies, it was the
first point in their plans to keep Wash.
ingtOn heavily garrisoned with troops.
Large bodies of men were stationed in
the Notifications around the city, and
other large bodies were kept within sup
porting distance. Now that Grant had
come into power, Stanton wished to see
that the defense of Washington was not
overlooked. Accordingly, after o few
preliminaries, the Secretary remarked:
"Well, General, I suppose you have
left US enough men to strongly garrison
the forts2"
NO" said Grant coolly. II can't do
that"
"Why pot?" cried Stanton, jumping
nervously about. why not2 Why

Because have already sent the men
to the front, replied Grant, calmly.

nervously than before. 'It's contrary

very we'll" said Mr.. Stanton, little
warmly. well see the President about
that I'll have to take you to the Presi-
dent"
"That's right" politely observed the
General, "the President ranks Us both"
Arrived at the White House, Grant
and the Secretary asked to see the Presi-
dent upon important business, and in a
few minutes the good natured face of Mr.
Lincoln appeared.
"Well, gentlemen" said he, with a
genial smile, what do you want with

General" said Stanton stifiy, state
your case"
II have no case to state" replied the
General. II am satisfied as it is." thus
outfinnking the Secretary, and display
ing the same strategy in diplomacy as i'll
war
Well, we'll" said the President,
laughing, state your case, Mr. Secre-
tary."
Mr.. Stanton ebeyed; General Grant
said nothing; the President listened at
tentively. When the Secretary conclud-
ed, Mr. Lincoln crossed his legs, rested
his elbow on his knee, twinkled his eyes,
and quantity said:
Now, Secretary, you know we have
been trying to manage this army for
nearly three years, and ysu know we
haven't done much with it; we sent over
the mountains and brought Mr.. Grant,
as Mrs. Grant calls him, to manage it for
Us, and now guess we had better let Mr..
Grant have his own way"
From this decision there was no ap-
peal, So General Grant went to the front,
and Secretary Stanton went back to his
office. Hours at Home.
