The irascible Pollard does not think
30 highly Of the suppression Of newspa-
pers a. be formerly did when anti.sls-
very presses, and subsequently, Union
newspapers, we're destroyed by mobs, or
By Confederate military orders. Nor
has he any great admiration for General
Grant, who snmmarily closed hts treas
ON mill. OF his interview with him he
says: Esv
al saw that officer but s,nce, when he
refused emphaticaily to revoke the order
for the seizure Of the Office. 1t was evil
dent that I had nothing to hope from
him, for he said to me expressly that, if
be had authority, be would, that day,
suppress the New York News, the Gin
scinhati Enquirer and the Chicago Times,
adding that the "Copperhead papers of
the North" as he designated them,
"Were doing quite as much harm as the
p4psrs ID the South Deriving no salts
faction from him, / was forced to ap-
peal to the. President"
Il If P6llArd's testimony is true, Gen.
Grant hasa correct appreciation of the
"Copperhead papers of the North,'
but bis plan of disposing of them is UNI
Necessary now. The following (" instruc,
tionsn indicate the terma upon which
Gen. Giant consented to let Pollard " try
again.Pit These instructions win show
that Pollard will have to walk a chalk
iins,,' notwithstanding he talks 50 saucily,
The. conditions Gen. Grant lays down
are trying to a mans nerves like Pol
lard, and we shall not be surprised to
hear soon that his paper is again sup
