siasm in prsising Gen. Grant after this fashion;
In the contagious glow of feeling we spoke of
General Grant as lover would speak of his rlis-
tress or rather as all patriots have spoken of all
successful generals in the hour of victory. But
probably such efusions are not the sources on
which historian would chiefly rely for Just estl-
mate of military commanders"

the carpet bsggers, and to turn his attention to
true interests Of the State and the people. War
moth has future before him. Will he render
himself infamous! Let us hope not
