DEAR GENERAL: I heve just 1e-
ceived your letter of Sept. 8, inviting
me to attend mass convention Of the
war veterans at Philadelphia, on tho
1st and I'd Of October next, in the in
tere't Of the Republican party in the
present canvass.
1t will be impossible for me to do SO
for many reasons, and [ know no one tn
whom 1 can impart them better than
to you.
First, I have too much to do iu nv
proper legitimate business, which keeps
me west of the Mississippi.
Second. I am required BY a sum-
mons to attend called meeting of the
Indian Peace Commission at Chicago.
on the 7th of October.
No one, trust, doubts my respect
for, and absolute confidence in Gen.
Grant; at least, he himself does not;
and l extract for your information,
from letter of the Generals, dated
Washington, June 21st, 1868.
"DEAR SHERMAN Your kind let
ter written from Mexico, is received.
You understand my position exactly.
l feel very grateful to the
officers of our army, whose military
achievements made my reputation a.

support me in this new field. / do not
expect or want active support, but
merely the satisfaction of knowing what
your letter assured me of on your part.
Ohcers who expect to make the army
their home for life have to serve under
successive administrations, and should
not make themselves obnoxious to any
party likely ever to come into power. +
This covers the whole ground, and
WILL feel assured, prove perfectly sat-

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 10, 1868.

GENERAL GRANTS PoLIcY.-Notwltn-
standing that nearly four months will pass
before General GRANTS inauguration, ana
notwithstanding his declaration in his let
ter of acceptance that he will have "no
policy" to enforce against the will of the
people, the Washington newsmongers are
constantly sending ont sensation paragraphs
purportinr TO give reliable information as
to his purposes. The last we have seen
(at the present writing we must ADD, 1or
we know not how many others will come to
hand to-dav.) are in the Washington teie-
grams in the New York Herald Of Wednes-
day. They are ss follows:
"1st. Tn the railroad car from Chicago the
"otber dav gentleman said to GRANT :
"'General. I hope when you are in Office
styou will let MS have peace in fact AZ well
"as in name To this the General an
"swered you may he sure will, sir,
az shsll make peace, and solid pence
(which will satisfy all good men North,
South, East, and Vest
"2a. A brother Of General GRANT, who
I" lives in Chicago. is reported to have said
" o few days ago that GRANT intends to en-
q force the reconstruction laws to the very
"lettcr, go far as that duty may he be-
"queathed him By the existing administra-
"tion. Perhaps by the time Of his inau-
"guration the whole business of recon-
obstruction will have been disposed Of =;
"hut if not, according to this fraternal nu-
"thority, GRANT will execute them strictly.
"The reason alleged for this is that GRANT
"holds that sthe will Of the people is the
"law of the land and that in the election
"just decided the people expressed their
"will to have these reconstruction mea-
"sures enforced by endorsing the measures
"snd platform of the Republican party.
/" From his natural modesty he does not
"presume to think that it was his personal
popularity that imrelled the people to
"give the Radical ticket n majority so de-
" cidcd, but rather that it was due to their
endorsement Of Congress and its policy.
$50 SAYS GRANTS brother"
We have no idea that General GRANT has
decided upon any "policy." He will
await the developments of the future.
Doubtless he expects the reconstruction
question to be disposed of before his Access
sion 70 power by the admission of Virginia,
Mississippi, and Texas into the Union. As
to the rest, he will govern all the country as
il it were a consolidated empire. State
lines will be apt to go for nothing with him.
We shall probably not be more troubled
with military interference than Ohio or
New York.
