him. 1t is difference of opinion which does in
the least detract from his renown as a soldier, nor
from his patriotism and fidelity citizen but
do most decidedly object to the attempt of the Times
to make hin. Radical, when there is written
spoken word, that we have or heard of, to
dClS anu dCtS ol
his loudest friends lead to contrary Inference.
These friends of Grant are not dishonest. The Her
aid, until last week extremely Radical, bosts the
name of Grant for President, with Lee, of Virginia,
Vice-P President, and is furious in its assaults
upon Congress- and hows what it pleasantly calls
nigger supreme in the South The Herald is probably
as well informed the Times and it openly claims
Grant its ally The World writes long article to
show that in entering the War office, Grant acted of
bis own free choice and was not cocrced by the COM
pulsive strngency of military discipline. Grant him
self notified Stanton of his acceptance. The World
is plain enough to all The editorial is therefore
conclusive, aud we challenge the statement of the
Times that Gen. Grant supports Congress, and demand
the evidence"
