The so called Jew order" issued by Grant
during the war, to prevent Jews trading with
the rebels, brought him great deal of abuse
during the late campaign, and secured him the
enmity and oppositiOR of nearly the entire body
of voting Israelites. 1t was taken as an attack
on the Jews as a people and, as Gen. Grant
never publicly retracted its terms or explained
its language, though hundreds of letters were
written to him on the subject, he was held to
be still dangerous enemy Of the whole race.
The Jewish organ, the Israelite, publishes a
correspondence on the subject, which took
place sometime ago, and in which there ap-
pears q letter from Gen. Grant, explanatory
of the issuing of the order, and his present
feelings regarding it. Gen. Grant saves him
self and his friends all trouble in the way of
defending the anti jew order, by at once
emphatically remarking, " do not pretend to
sustain the order" He explains the circum-
stance of its appearance, says it was issued
without thinking of the Jew as a sect or race,
declares that he has no prejudice against any
sect or race, and shows that the order in ques-
tion was written without reflection at time
when he was incensed by a reprmand received
from Washington for permitting acts which
Jews within his lines were engaged in.

ANECDOTE OF GENERAL GRANT. After tho
capture of Nicksburg, steamers ran there to
take turloughcd troops up the river, charging
to Cairo. Says our author:
The steamer had its decks crowded with SOL
dicrs. Grant asked man standing on the wheel
house, and giving orders loudly
Are You the Captain Of this bOGt?'
Yes, General
=" How many soldiers have you on board?'
"Ahout 200"
"What have you charged for fare to Cairo?"
" From ten to twenty five dollars each, Cen
eral
Ten to twenty five dollars each + that
all? Why tlat is too moderate, 1t is a pity
you should have to take the boys for so mod
crate a sum. You had better wait awhile"
Speaking thus he walked away. The steamer
whiStlcd-thc bell rang-but for some reason
the boat did not move off The men couldn
unders and it, until, in few moments. an order
| came from the guard to keep the steamer un-
til the Captqin paid hack all over - for fare
from each officer, and all over S6 from each
soldier, and the order was obeyed. The men
knew they had been victimized, but felt help
! less. When they learned what the General
| had done they gave three cheers for Grant
with a will
Grant said to one Of his staff "T'll teach
/ these steamboat men that the boys who
have opened the river for them are not to be
! plundered OF their hard earnings on their trip
home. If trade is t. follow the fag SO soon, it
it shall be honest trade, so far as can control
it.
