ANEcDorE OF GEN. GRANr-During
the Petersburg campaign of 1864 several
privates were engaged in unloading bar
rels of sssalt horse" from transport at
City Point, and were. in charge of q
Lieutenant OF New York Regiment,
who took every occasion to show his au-
thority, To one of his abusive remarks
one of the priyates made reply, where
upon the Lieutenant administered severe
kicks to the offender, who offered no re-
sistance, but continued on with his work.
A short, thick set man, wearing a
slouched hat, and rather seedy officers
cloak, who had been standing by for
some time, hereupon threw off his cloak
and coat and proceeded to help unload
the transport. Nsx - 2
After the task was accomplished the
officer donned his coat and cloak and
asked the Lieutenant, in very civil terms,
his name and regiment.
"Lieutenant--,o of the New
York Volunteers. By what authority
do you ask such a question p la,
"Report yourself Immediately to your.
Colonel under arrest, by order of Gen.
Grant, for cruelty to your men, and re-
member that abuse of privates by Off
GERS is not tolerated by the present COM
mander of the army" replied the thick
set officer, lighting cigar, and walking
slowly away.

is to serve the country in her present
trials. To do this efficiently it is neces-

Torrance of my duties. So long as I
hold my present position 1 do not be

the policy or orders of those above me,
or to give utterance to views Of my own,
except to the authorities at Washington,

In your letter you say that I have it in
my power to be the next President
This is the last thing in the world de

ton as being highly unfortunate for my
self, if not for the country. Through
Providence have tatained to more than
ever hoped, and with the position l
now hold in the regular army. if allowed
to retain it, will be more than satisfied
Icertainly shall never shape sentiment,
or the expression of a thought with the
view of being candidate for Office. /
scarcely know the inducement that could
be held out to me to accept Office, and
unhesitatingly say that I infinitely prefer

how the debt will be paid and taxa
ton lightened, BY economy and hon
esty. they also show how our paper
money will be made good as gold.
The downward course of men In
power admits of traficking in the
honor of the country. They
can sink it to that point
that the payment Of the debt
| will be an easy matter, but will be at
| the cost of the honor, the peace and
| the welfare of our land. While, there
! fore, we may differ as 10 the constitu-
ton of the contract with the public
| creditor, we must not confOund the
| position of those who think it right
to pay In paper, bat aVho battle TO
make that pdDer as good as cold, with
the position of those who mean not
only to pay in paper, but who are also
destroying the value of that paper.
This is reputation. We are not try
ing to give paper to the bondholder,
but gold and silver to the people.
There is nothing TO fear from those
who think bv the contract you should
take the paper. if they take a course
which will make that paper good as
cold. There is everything to fear
bankruptcy, and it matters not what
their professions may be. a $500
[ deem it my duty to speak frankly
on this subject of the debt We owe
it to our friends In other States to let
them know our position, so that we
may not fall into the fatal error of
making sectional questions part of
our national platform. They would
with justice reproaeh us if we suffered |
them to hinder US in our battle in |
this great State, which must be won,
or our country is lost. We have issues !
enough with the party in power upon
which we think as one man, to over |
whelm it with disgrace and defeat. |
We must not distract our counsels |
with questions, however important |
they may be, upon which there is so |
much doubt, and which cannot be |
settled in many years to come. We |
must not thus turn away the public I
mind from the dangers which threat |
en- the immediate destruction of |
the fabric of our government |
and thes liberties of our people. |
Even now the hand of usurpation is |
stretched out to rob us of our rights. |
and it must be struck down first of |
all. w hatever our views may be, the |
payment of this debt viii fall upon |
the future Do what we may, gen.
Grafton that will come after us will |
decide its modes without regard to
anything we may say. The depressed
industry of our land, its sufferings
and labor, demand that the load Of
taxation shallr be lightened How
few of those who now discuss the
question will be living then. IF, in
the meanwhile, our country is well
governed, if there. is is economy in
the conduct Of its affairs, and the
rights and liberties of our people
shall be unimpaired, our population
will be increased from thirty-fve to
fifty millions-our wealth will be
more than doubled. Then this debt
will rest more lightly upon greater
numbers and greater wealth than it
presses to-day upon the depressed in
dustry and depressed spirits of the
people.
