HGNefAl NRmmAs
We copy the following from the New
York SslN:
General Grant has been accused Of in
temperance. The copperheads fight him
with talk about this alleged bad habit, Just
as the rebels fought him with powder and
bail In the war; but the case is set right in
q little speech which the Hon. w. E. Dodge
made on Thursday evening. Mr.. Dodge
said that he had just been In Washington,
and had had q long interview with General
Grant, and continued he, II left him with
the conviction that neither we nor the
friends Of temperance have any cause for
anxiety 10 this respect.n Mr. Dodge is
president Of the National Temperance So
ciety, and no one can be more hostile
to everything approaching intemper
ate habits IN public man. The
truth is that the practice of General Grant
is total abstinence. In camp he-almost
alone, among all the prominent officers of
either at his table or about his tent. Fa-
tiguing marbles and the excitement and ex-
haustion OF battles did not make him break
over his rule not 10 touch or taste anything
alcoholic. Again and again we have seen
wine offered hin at pubic and private din
nerg, only TO be steadily refused. We are
assured that now in time Of peace, and in
the society Of Washington, he still main
tRins the same custom, His enemies must
invent some other story. The people will
never believe that General Grant is drunk.
srds and If, from not personally knowing
Grant. they are not sure Of the lacta, they
win answer a. President Aineoln dds Let
me know what kind Of whisky Grant drinks
And win send barrel 70 every cne Of our
generals ~
