ernor of Pennsylvania, saying that to ask any
| soloier to vote for such man. Of at one time
| known disloyalty, against another who had
served four years in the Union army, with

was gross insult. If men desired to sup

events let them vote only for such men as

Gen. Grant indorses nobody's policy. OF

Will give them expression in his vote but
until he shall himself express them, or become
candidate for some political ofhce-a very

IN any one to inquire what these opinions are,
or to presume to speak for him, or to associate
him IN eny way with men who cannot show
clear record foF loyalty.
THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER AGAIN.
10 refer again to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
An amusing occurrence took place to-day at
me Presidents reception, the account OF
which L have unquestionabe authority.
Gen. Grant was standing engaged in copver-
satlon with some one unknown to him, when
John Hogan of st. Louis approached hin
| aud said Gen. Grant, 1 want to introduce
you to friehd of yours, the correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Enquirer To which the
General promptly replied, - have sock in
y
| connected with It," Mr.. Hogan immedlately
said, - Veil, but he is u personal friend o
yours" When tho General said, {" Yell,
want 10 De friendly with every one, but dom
| want my friends connected with that paper
| Hogan then said, in great astOnlshment
{" " eli, but you are talking with the editor. >
" A,n |, =" said Gen. Grant, - did not kno !
that, but, at any rate | have nothing to apollo
glzc Ter, | have declared my opinion of tha'
paper before IN otfcia! capacity, and | auu
OF the same opinion now Jonn and III,
gentleman IN question then retired.
The New York Tribune last week also h.d
the following SPECIAL despatch respecting
Grant and Farragut:
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. l3, 1866
Ia cJnyers- tlon with Cen Cox last evening
I Gen. Grant AMI Admiral Fsrragus declar ell
their dlsapproval oi the Presidents policy

tie men ta d substantially that they par
tlcipants IN the Presidential campaign tour
| by express instructions, ami not from any III
,l.nauon On ;helr part. The conversations
were not strictly private, for several parties
were present.
The following is an extract from e letter
written by Gen. Grant, just before the PleSI-
dent and hia parry started from Washington
- II bang The desire Of the President that
shouLd accompany hun on has trap 10 Ch'cago

4usuratipn OF the statue OF WashIngt. a
the Military Institute OF NTginIa.'
A correspondent Of the Chicago Tribune
, gives the following:
The General added that he accompanied
The PRESIDENTIAL party at the Presidents g re-
Iauest--thAt he had abs.ainei equally from
declaring his own political sentiments, or au-
thuriziug any b >dy else u do so. He said thai
neither Mr.. Seward nor any other persOI
could commit him - any set OF political opIn
lIUns--thAt he was annoyed ~ the successive
lattempts which have been made by SewarC
and Others, 70 announce 10 the people along
the road tha, his political views were IN haI
mony with those OF Mr.. Johnson. l inquired
| whether It was true that he hai atteaced tn,
interview between the Philadelphia Conven.
non Committee and the President, upon hi'
own motion. lie replied OF course not
That being purely political gathering, i
was none OF my business. L was there at the
request OF the President, and all attempts tt
attach political significance To my presence
zre unwarranted and imper tlnent."

President, en- route To Chicago, bread-lnd

=. What makes you ieei confident? in

:. Because, said the Johnsonite, - We cuun
Oh .ett ng tie large, part ot the soldiers vot

Il ehink you will be mistaken IN that
Clymer Is u Copper head, ana the soldier VIII
votes tor him Will disgrace himself and th'
d,g he fought under" was the Gene al's reply
as he turned on his heel and walked away.
Gen. Grant makes no secret of his deslr
that the gallant Gen. Gcary shall be elected
Governor OF ennsylvauia.
In reply to al Iavtation to attend tbs
PIttsburg Convention Gen. Grant has instruct
ed his and, Col. Bodeau, ID say that - 1t |
contrary to his habit AMI TO his conviction
of duty to attend political meetings of an.
character whatsoever, AMI that he sees with
regret the action Of any officer of the army
taking a conspicuous part in the politica
disseasons of the day"
We do not think the success of the princi
pies OF the Republican party depends upoi
the endorsement of any one man, or thai
their defea. can be accomplished By the hes
ulity OF any o2e man, and, therefore, W
regard this ,tf,rt TO claim Gen. Grant by on
or the other party, as not quite worthy o
men who are contendiog Tor great principles
But it is due to Gen. Grants fame that tn
lrn npudent fAisehood, that he approves of tn
doctrines and political conduct of the cop
perhead Johnsonj party, should be exposed
and we have therefore given considerable
space to an accurate and careful statement o
his real position
The Reform Movement in Eng
