military and sent to Holly Springs

charge against them is that they went to

provoked a difficulty with the freedmen

~ When, on Sheridan's removal
from Louisians, Meade heard that the
President had been thinking of plac-
ing him there, he sent word to the
President begging him to abandon
the purpose, and stating that he was
san awful Radical-more radical than
any of them" Now, there is no
evidence that meanwhile General
Meade has altered his views, and
there is little probability, therefore,
that he will be sent to Military Dis
trict No. 2. In conversation with
the writer, General Meade expressed
himself as very strongly in favor OF
Grant for the Presidency. Not but
that he would prefer civilian for the
office; but if, as seems likely, the
chair is to be filled by soldier, then
he considers Grant the ittest person
the "most self poised of them all. "
The Genersl represents Pennsylvania
as strong for Grant, and even the ex-
treme Radicals, who at heart felt like
spewing him out of their mouth, are
now fain to throw up their caps for
