AnecdOte OF General Grant.

After the capture of Vicksburg, steam.
ers ran in there to take furloughed troops
up the river, charging as high as $50 for a
passage from Vicksburg to Cairo. Says
our author
The steamer had Its decks crowded with
soldiers, and Grant said to man standing
on the wheelhouse giving orders loudly
Are you Captain of this boat ?"
Yes, General"
How many soldiers have you on boardN
about 1880"
" What have you chaSged for fare tc
Cairo?'
From ten to twenty-five dollars each
General"
Ten to twenty five dollars eschH L
that all? Why that is too moderate L
IS pity you should have to take the boy
for so small sum. You had better wal
while"
Speaking to the officer on board, he
walked away. The steamer whistled, the
bell rang, the wheels began to move slow
ly; but for'some reason, she was not cast
oil. The men could not understand II
until, in few moments an order came
from the guard to keep the steamer until
the Captain paid back all over 81 taken
for fare from each officer, and all over So
from each soldier, and the order was
obeyed. The men knew they had been
victimized, but felt helpless. When they
learned what the General had done they
gave three cheers for Grant" with a
will
Grant said to one of his staff "rll
teach those steamboat men that the boys
who have opened the river for them are
not to be plundered of their hard earnings
on their first trip home. If trade is to
follow the flag so soon, 1t shall be honest
trade, so far as can control IT,"

After Grant-What! !


Hon. Henry Wilson, in the last number
OF the New York Iadependeat, makes the
following reply 10 this query:
This significant question was asked by
MIR. Phillips on the eve of the election
Mr.. Phillips seems to distrust General
Grant, and the men who gave him their
support. have undoubting confidence in
General Grant, and the men who have
made him President of the United States

that make for peace;" il they shall fail to

all citizens of the United States; if they
shall fail tn establish justice and protec-

own thoughts, utter their own sentiments,
and DO as they please, provided they do
not interfere with the rights of other men,
Mr.. Phillips distrust will rest on better
foundation than my confidence

have read what he has written and studied
with some care his acts. have heard him
converse with public men for hours on
matters pertaining to public affairs civil
and military. His deeds are historic as
they make him one of the great historic
characters of the age. What he has writ

have found nothing in It, even for historic
criticism. In all the hours Of his conver-

secures equal rights, and which forbids all

Administration will take care that they

under which the Southern whites are suf.

is oppressed. In every one of those States
there are nothing but American citizens.
American citizens have equal rights; and
the Administration Of General Grant, sus.

people, will see that those rights are pro

One of WashingtOn's Supporters Votes
for Grant.

Great enthusiasm was created at the
Davenport township polls on the Fair
grounds yesterday by spectacle which
would have stirred the patriotic blood of
every true-hearted American in the land.
In the afternoon low seated buggy
was driven up to the polls by beautiful
young lady. BY her side was seated Dea.
con Gilbert, father of e. s. Gilbert, Esq,
after whom Gilberttown was named.
Deacon Gilbert is upward of one hun
dred years of age. He cast his first Presi-
dental vote in 1888, in tho State of New
York, for George Washington, and has
voted at every Presidential election since
that year.
Miss Holmes assisted the centenarian
and patriot TO alight, and placing her arm
in his, accompanied him to the polls. He
handed an open, straight Republican
ticket to the judges. AS he did 80 the
bystanders broke into cheers, which did
not cease until three times three had been
given for the aged Republican, followed by
three more for the young lady who ac-
companied him. The citizens present
gathered about the good old man, and as
they did so he said: "Gentlemen, voted
twice for George Washington. He was
the best man for the Presidency in his day.
Now, l have voted for General Grant
thank God that have lived so long-whom
believe to be the best man for President
in his day. He was instrumental in saw
ing the Government which Washington
founded"
1t was no wonder that as the venerable
supporter of Washington and of Grant
what leap in time l-made his way to the
carriage again, with his beautiful friend
upon his arm. many ia the scrowd uncov-
cred their heads As he seated himself the
