Gen. Steedman was one of the most
prominent men in the Hancock move

Seymour called on him at his hotel, the
mission being one of Cancellation. But,
as the result showed, very little com
fort did Seymour receive. Steedman
told him plainly that his nomination
had been accomplished by a trick
which was but another name for a
fraud; told him that no honest soldier
could support him that he was a repre-
sentative of the Peace Democracy alone;
and that, however much he and his
friends might attempt to distort, con-
ceal or apologize for his record during
the war, every soldierin the land would
scorn it, and desert the man or the party
which approved it. There was but a
part of Steedman's honest language,

he does, tells every one openly that he

Mr.. Stevens gave this account, in re-
cent conversation, of his business ca
reer:
snThe greatest qualifications of my life
resulted from my ability to give my
mother farm Of $50 acres, and n dairy
of II COWS, and an occasional bright gold
piece, which she loved to deposit in the
contribution box of the Baptist church
which she attended. My mother was a
very extraordinary woman, and | have
met very few women like her. My
father was not well-to-do man, and
the support and education Of the family
depended on my mother. She worked
night and day to educate me. | was
feeble and lame in my youth, and as |
couldn't work on the farm she conclud-
ed to give me an education. | tried to
repay her afterwards, but the debt of Il
child to mother, you know, is one OF
the debts we can never pay. Poor
woman the very thing I did to crafty
her most fastened her death. She was
very proud of her dairy, and fond of her
COWS, and one night, on going out to
look for them, she fell and injured her
self so that she died soon after.

Mr.. Stevens had on one occasion given

had induced me to embark in the enter

When men so far consent to confer
honor upon the enemies of the princi-
pies they profess, and to repudiate for
little, personal reasons, the friends and
upholders of those principles, it is time
their counscls were heard with distrust
if heard at all, and Indignantly rebuked
at the ballot box.
1t seems clear to us that any fair re-
preventative of Republican principles
should receive the support of his party,
beyond all mere personal differences,
rather than that support should be con-
fcrrcd upon any one whose claims are
only upon the antagonistic party. Let
us support in good faith the nominated
candidates ofour own progressive and
constitutional party, and the friends of
our own cause; for they are certainly
moro worthy of our support than the
candidates of our political enemies.
GRANT AT NICKsBuRG.-Gen Badeau,
in his work on the military history OF
Gen. Grant, tells the following anccdote
of Gen. Grants reception by the rebel
Generals whom he had defeated, when
he entered Vicksburg on the 4th Of July
1868:
He went direct to one of the rebel
headquarters, but there was no one &c
receive him, and he dismounted and en-
tered the porch, where Pemberton sat
with his Generals; they saluted Grant,
but none of them Offered him chair
though all had seats themselves. Meth
er the rank nor reputation of their cap
tor, nor the swords he had allowed then
to wear, prompted them to this simple
act of courtesy. Pemberton was espe
cially sullen, both in conversation anC
behavior. Finally, for very shame, one
of the rebels offered a place to Grant
The day was hot and dusty; he wa,
thirsty from his ride, and asked for
drink of water. They told him he coulC
find it outside; and no one showing
him the way, he CROPPED in a passage
until he found negro, who gave him ;
cup of cold water only, which his enc
my had almost denied. When he re
turned his seat had been taken, and h'
remained standing during. the rest of tn
interview, which lasted about half al
hour.
