uen. blalr, ~ ms speech yester-
day, said ne had nothing to say
against drant personally; that his
services would ever DC remembered
WITH prlde, but that since ne had en-
tered the arena OF politics, his acts
pontlcauy, were proper matters for
Puonc cfitlclsm; tnat Hrant had
cnsneeo ms views-on the SUBJECT OF
reconstruction inconslstently; hay
!ng e !ne close o. the war urged the
and Representatives az The soutbern
States, chosen then by the people of |
those states. But he said the secret |
of the adherence Of Gems. Grant, |
Sheridan and other regular officers |
to, the radical party is that the ten- |
dency of that party. which has over |
thrown the preroratiye Of the SUI |
preme Court and the Executive |
branch Of the Government, is toward |
military despotism, which being nee |
essarily based upon military mower
would give consequence to promi-
nent officers of the army.
He denied that the sentiments ex- |
pressed in his letter or New York |
speech were revolutionary; that the |
people OF the Y 8 at the last election |
had repudiated Negro Suffaage, up
on which was based the whole re-
construction scheme, and that to
overthrow, by proper constitutional
means, the reconstruction acts, is but |
carrying out the will of the people.
