General SohofieId on the Presidency

The following letter from General

aud causes quite huttering among po-
liticians:
HEApoU'Rs FIRST MILITARY DISTRICT,
RicnMoSD, VIRGINIA, May %, 1868. !
General Uiysses s. Grant;
DEAR GENERAL--l hope you will not
think II out OF place for me TO tender my
hearty congratulations upon the action OF
the Chicago convention. The perfect un-
animity and great enthusiasm of your
nomination was certainly gratifying, Us
being formal ratification OF the popular
endorsements OF your public record which
have heretofore been made throughout
the country. But your unanimous uom-
inption was long predetermined, aud was
but the fulfIlment OF universal expecta-
ton. Ga the other hand, when the con i.
vention met, there was ground for appre-
hension that its action IN other respects
might not be 80 wise. But that appre-
hension has, at least In a great degree,
been dispolled. The judieious selection Of
Mr.. Coliax as second on the ticket, aud
the general practical wisdom displayed la
irsining the platform; that is, in laying
down practical rules Of action, based upon
the actions of the country. instead ofab-
stract political theories, have greatly in.
creased the probabilities Of success, and u,
the same time made that success the more
TO DO desired. iIl4t at,f.
/ have always believed that the Union
could he fully restored only by the men
who put down the rebellion, while have
not been without serious apprehension
that by forcing upon the country extreme
radical theories the stability Of The Gov
ernment might be endangered. Great 70.
forms require time for their full Develop
ment; time Ia which theories may be an
alyzed, aud that which is sound and Of
practical sbility separated from the un-
sound and chimerical. Wisdom and mod.
Grafton in Congress will now give the
country restoration and peace. Your
election to the Presidency will be the end
Of our political troubles, as your access
sion TO the command in chief Of the army
was the end of the Southern rebellion.
Very respectfully your obedisot servant,

Grant as an Eoonomist--Th Sentiners
Testimony.

Testimony.
The Indianapolis journal quotes from
the indianapolis Sentinel, OF May 3, 1865,
the following able and just tribute TO
General Grant, in which il declared that
his early efforts for the reduction OF Mill
tary expenses, demonstrated that, great as
were his military laurels, his civil talents
were equally great. Read it, Republicans
Read IL, Democrats The Sentinel said:
AS soon as General Grant felt that the
rebellion was crushed be Immediately in-
augurated measures to cut down expenses,
thus demonstrating that he possesses
qualities that are MS we'll adapted to the
cabinet as the field. We are happy TO
notice that the policy Of General Grant
had the full sanction Of the Secretary Of
War, aud the recent orders Of that func--
,ionary will cut down the public expeedi.
lures fully one-half. The promptness
with which he commenced the work of
reIrenchmenl is further evidence Of his
remarkable executive ability, and there
are few men who could have discharged
the arduous duties which have been i'm.
posed upon him, as successfully as lie has
done.

"In this connection we give the follow.
Ing conversation with General Grant, which
shows not only his great modes,y, but his
great merits. We quote from the New
York World: .lt .tl g,si
"A friend who was with General Grant
Immediately after the surrender Of Lee,
relates Us u conversation which that brave
aud modest soldier had with his wife aud
a staff officer at City Point. "Well Cen
eral, ' said the latter, "you will 20 up to
Richmond to- morrow, SUPPOSE NO.
said Grant, II have days work in WASH
ington. aud then want 10 20 on with
Mrs. Grant to New Jersey aud SOC the
children Whats to be done at Wash
ingtonY" ives tho asionished reply. "0ne
would think you'd like to SEQ the inside of
the city you have been pounding ut for Q
year. Said the General: "Why we
must stop the draft; LOT the sick soldiers
that can travel home, and want TO, DO paid
of aud be sent TO their friends. aud begin
cutting down expenses. IL there Is any
more lighting to do We have moro than
enough men 10 do it." l sfa4ff .4a.lf
To this the Sentinel added tho follow
ing. .sniaa aass.s .n.f, l
elf the counsels of such men as Gen.
eral Grant control the action Of the adj
ministration, we shall hope that the old
peace footing will be restored, not only ia
retrencement and economy 10 the public
expenditures, but in the complete supre.
macy OF the civil authority" isi lna
The Sentinel in it unqualified approval
OF Grant, is not an exceptional instance
among the Democratic organs Of the
country. They were nearly unanimous 10
