GRANT on CONFERENCE.-The
Cincinnati Enquirer was notorious
COpperhead journal during the war,
and still holds its own remarkably
well. General Grants opinion OF it
is pointedly given in the following
account Of an incident which occur
red on the Presidential tour:
An amusing occurrence took place
at the Presidents reception. Gen
eral Grant was standing engaged
in conversation with some one I'M
known to him, when John Hogan,
of st. Louis, approached him and
said, "General Grant, | want to in
troduce you to a friend of yours, the
correspondent Of the Cincinnati En-
quirer." To which he General
promptly replied, II have no stock
in that paper, and don't want to
have any friends connected with it. >
Mr.. Hogan Immediately said, "Well,
but he is a personal friend Of yours
when the General said. "Well,
| want to be friendly with every one,
but don't want my friends connected
with that paper" Hogan then said,
in great astonishment, swell, but
You are talking with the editor
"Am II" said Gen. Grant, IL did not
know that; but, at any rate, | have
nothing to apologize for. | have
declared my opinion of that paper
before in an official capacity, anC
| am of the same opinion now" JOIN
and the gentleman in question thel
retired.

well pause awhile-thelf work Is ike
ly to be carried on by more influential
personages. Lucy Stone can yield
gracefully to Senator Wade; Mrs.
Stanton need have no ambition to
hasten to get into Congress, for her
work there can be done just as well
by b. Gratz Brown and Mr.. Cowan;
while Susan b. Anthony finds an
able representative in Senator An
th0ny of Rhode Island. To Show
the style in which some of these dis
tinguished Senators manage the dis
cussion of this unwonted but inter
esting subject, we copy briefly from
their speeches.
Mr.. Cowan Of Pennsylvania said:
He who thought women were
represented by their husbands,
might go to the proceedings Of the
Woman'S Rights Conventions re-
Gently held to learn differently. He
was willing now to look facts in the
face. He was willing to stand upon
old institutions. sanctitied as they
were by the past; but when the time
came to take a step it should be
made in the right direction. He did
not intend to let the inggernaut OF
progress run over him.
Mr.. Wade Of Ohio said:
".\s to the pending Qcmale Suii-
rarc) amendment. he intended to
vote for it. He might not have III
PRODUCED it, because this might not
be the best time and place to agltate
the subject. But as to the right OF
women to vote be had no doubt
whateycr: he was fully convinced on
that subject. il would puzzle amy
