l. Alet1of is published that was Wfltteaa ey
Grant to his father in April, 1868, during
the campaign againsF Yicksburg. It is
longer than any speech the General ever
made, and, without disparagemeht to the
speeches, is likely to be more effective than
any of them. The letter is full of the man,
and shows, as plainly as anything Of his
that we have ever seen, how far removed
his quietness IS from that affficting stolidity
charged upon him by the TREMENDOUSLY SEN
sltive Democrats: ...,.
at is painful to me, as matter Of
course" the General says, "to see the
course pursued by some of the papers.
But there is nc one less disturbed by them
than myself. have never sought large
command, and have no ambitious ends to
accomplish. We're it not for the very natural
desire of proving myself equal to anything
expected of me, and the evidence my reno
val would afford that was not thought equal
to 1t, would gladly accept less RESPONSE
BILE position. have no desire to be an OBJ
ject Of envy or Jealousy, nor to have this
war continue. want, and will do my part
toward it, to put down the rebellion in the
shortest possible time. without expecting
or desiring any other recognition than a
quiet approval of my course"
Evidently the criticisms had touched him
and evidently they had not turned him.
Justice has hardly ever been done at all
it certain is not popularity done-to this
very remarkable part of Grants life. We
must remember he was then comparatively
obsure man; he was fighting in an unknown
and most difficult country; his most trusted
military friend and coadjutor, Sherman,
had very strongly ekpostulated with
him as to the plan of the campaign
which he had resolved upon, and,
when the expostulation did not shake
Grants purpose, had written out and ten
dered his resignation Mr.. Lincoln bad
written to him to tell him he was mistaken
in his strategy and that meant that all Mr..
Lincoln's military advisers thought him
mistaken, and that the Commander-in-
Chief gave him chance to withdraw his
army before it should become necessary to
remove him from command ; the press was
raving about his manifest incompetency.
But he made no reply to the letter, for
writing which Mr.. Lincoln afterwards
apologized; he put Sherman's resigns ton in
his pocket without forwarding it, and after
wards, when Vicksburg was taken, gave it
back to hint is Sherman who tells the
story-he made no public justification
of himself till he telegraphed that
Pemberton had surrendered; and but
for this letter to his father-which, by the
way, he requested his father to burn-we
should hardly know Of his magnificent ex-
ercise of moral courage and how much it
cost him. We are curious to see the men
who, as members of Grants Cabinet, are
going to make him mere tool and pup
pet,-Ne,o YorI: Nation.

AGHANnR TO BET.

We are informed from credible source
that there is placarded at the Office of the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, an offer
from responsible parties to wager 5000
that Seymour and Blair do not go out of
New York City with $4,000 majority.
This offer has been open for some ten
days with no takers. We do not think
much of betting as an argument, but this
bold offer, and its acceptance by no one,
shows very conclusiyely the public senti-
ment of New York City in reference to its
own political status. J ..aoa
The Democratic majority in that city in
1867 was some 10000. If it can now be
reduced even to 1000 the Republican ru-
raj dist riots will neutraiize the city, and
save the State by strong vote. 's ''rt

THE SURRENDER.

No gentleman of intelligence arriving
here from the North affects to question the
result Of the Presidential election. All
agree that to-day the election of General
Grant is a moral certainty. The North,
East and West are for Grant and Colfax.
The Democracy of those regions have
practically surrendered. 1t is not unlike
the great surrender at Appomattox Court
house, which really closed the rebellion.
Buckner and Dick Taylor held out few
days longer, but the cause was broken.
So it is now; the main armies have yielded
and our friends of the gay professions and
torchlights will doubtless soon see the pro-
priety of furling their sad banners and
economizing their oil for other and future
campaigns, where success may at least be
contemplated as possibility.

He bas appointed Mr. ". 2. Gray and
Mr.. F. A. DeWolf deputies 10 the places
respectively of Messrs. S. A. stOckdale and
C. II. Shute. As yet no other changes have
been made.
We gladly avail ourselves of this oppor-
tuuity to speak Of the high character and
valuable services of Mr.. Stockdale. He
has been skillful, industrious and upright.
With his fine natural abilities, and his
thorough knowledge Of the law of customs
and the needs of trade he has
made himself troop of friends
among our business men. He has made
New Orleans his permanent home, hav-
ing been a householder here for some
four years. We learn that he Intends to
go into business here, in connection with
large Western interests, and we wish him
the entire success his merits deserve.
Mr.. Gray is well known here
as an efficient officer. He was
educated, so to speak, in the New York
customhouse, and has had wide expert
ence in New Orleans as the deputy of the
lsmented Denison. His well-known activ-
ity and ability will doubtless be exercised
to the benefitof our commerce.

rHE PROCLAMATION OF THB eovBRNoR.


The Democratic Journals of the city are
very unhappy because the REPUBLICAN did
not comment on and interpret for their
comprehension the proclamation of the
Governor in regard to the coming election.
They evidently look to the REPUBLICAN for
ideas on such subjects, and feel sense of
Tgoneness" when we do not tell them
what is the precise purport OF every public
document. a .
So far as this last proclamation is con-
cerned, we beg to say, that in its reference
to Presidential electors It is precise copy
of one issued by Governor Wickliffe in
1856, il we do not mistake the date
As to the policy Of choosing electors by
districts instead of by general ticket the
Bee ard the Picapne are at daggers
drawn, not of course as to the question of
rightfnlness or lawfulness, but as to whether
the one course or the other will be of most
benefit to the Democratic party, the true
and only test in their view Of things.
When they have settled this important
point we shall have something to say on
the subject. . U.s.. .,...
