A Republican who allows himself to be nom

the great chieftain who is to be our next Pres
ident, is guilty of criminal negligence. There
is no historical parsonage whose life is freor

falsehoods in relation to Grant is as abundant
as anyone can desire. Don't let them get by

Spectator in cotton call your interlocutor's
attention to the following card published by
Mr.. Henry Mack one of the defendants in the
suit brought by Grants father, out of which
the whole story has grown: ..
Jesse Grant did furnish letter to an agent
OF the house of Mack Brothers & Co., address,
ed to General Grant, recommending that spe-
eial favors be granted him. which was duly
presented. The General received the gentle
man courteously, and said, in substance as
| follows: 81 am always pleased sir. to render
| any proper assistance in my power to nv
friends; but 1 am general of the army of the
United States Government, and 1 cannot dis
criminate between its citizens. / do not know
why my father should write asking such ia

not be diverted from the work in land viz
saving the country. You can take ont y ner
