Who Is Genera, Grant,

The time was when Democrats we're
willing TO concede the matchless genius of
General Grant. There are yet rebels of
prominence who will not get down with
the Northern Democrats, to the vile work
of traducing the modest, unpretentious,
yet truly great citizen, who fnds 40 villi-
fers save ia bis own country. Alex.
Stephens, the Vice President Of the
southern Coniederacy, recently said OF
Grant:
"IIe is entirely underrated by the
country aud the press. know him very
we'll. He is a remarkable man, aud one
that few appreciate; Of decided military
genius, iodomitable energy, aud deter
mined will"
When Congress was debating the bill
to revive the grade of General, aud con-
fer that rsuk upon General Graut, Hon
A. j. Rogers, Democratic member ol
Congress from New Jersey, said:
III believe that the mantle Of the illus.
trious Washington may well fall upon the
shoulders Of General Grant. believe
that be has walked ia the footsteps oI
the Father OF his Country"
Congressman Finck, an Ohio Democrat
also used this language
IL honor him, sir, not only for his bril-.
liant services in the field, but because oI
his magnsnimity in the hour Of triumph,
and bis genuine modesty."
Iu ia issue of April IL, 1865, the New
York World says:
General Grants last brilliant cam
paign sets the Rnal seal upon his reputa.
tion. Ii stamps him as the superior ol
his able antagonist as we'll as of all the
commanders who have served with or un'
der him in the great campa igns Of the
last waI."
To these extracts il is only necessary
to add the fact that the late General Scott
just before his death, presented General
Grant q copy Of bis memoirs, with an api
propriate inscription: "From the oldes,
10 the greatest General"
