18th inst His instructions are very
brief lie Is TO go there and await
events. Grant was in no hurry
about tho matter. but Sumner strong
~ urged Motley's early presence al
tho Court Of st, James.
The papers a" contain speeial re
port Of Leo's visit 10 Grant. Thoy
state that when Gen. Leo was an,
nounced Grant dismissed u number
of visitors including Congressman,
telling them he had an engagement
with Gen. Lee and must be excused;
then followed an interview of hall
an hours duration, strictly private,
between tho two. This was the
iirst meeting since they parted April
9th, 1865, at Appomattox Court
House.
Tho Herald correspondent says no
ono really knows what transpired at
tho interview between Grant and
Lee. Some consider Lees visit wal
merely mark ofrcspect; others say
that the subject ofthc reconstruction
Of Virginia was discussed; and an
improbable rumor is mentioned
that Grant requested Leo to act as
special Commissioner to Cuba.
The world says Grant desired to
find out exactly Lees sentiments in
regard to the South and Virginia,
and drew him out; that Leo reitera-
ted tho opinion expressed in his let
ter to Gen. Rosccrans. He said
Virginia had accepted tho recon
acts and complied with
every condition laid down by Con.
grcss. She needed full restoration
to the Union and the development
of her internal resources. The pres
entconstitution was unobjectionablc,
except the prescription and disfran-
clauses, which should be
submitted separately to he people,
or tho constitution would DO rejcc-
ted. lie approved tho adoption of
the Conservative Republican ticket
put forth by the late Richmond
The World says Con. Grant, it is
understood, said Objectionable clau-
'es in tho Virginia constitution
should be submitted to the people
separately, and no hoped Virginia
would soon be ready for complete
restoration.
The interview was most cordial
md satisfactory.
Tho Herald and World both init.
nato it caused much bitterness of
ceiling among extreme politicians
md place hunters.
