How often II has boon remarked by
tho people that Grant was q fool
for accepting tho Presidency. Hold.
ing, as he did, tho position Of General
Of the Army at an enormous salary,
with q chance to rest upon his militia
ry reputation, crowned with the hon.
ors bestowed by n grateful people, and
that Office being for life, II seemed the
utmost folly on his part to surrender
1t for ourycars' term in the White
House.
II seems that tho President has at
last reached tho same conclusion. The
Washington correspondent of the Day
writes that, "a few nights ago, when
some ladies were spending tho eve.
ming at the White House, one of them
in conversation with the President ref
rcred TO the herculcan labors to be per.
formed by one holding tho Presiden-
cy, and remarked that she deeply
sympathized with him in the cares of
his office" To this the President rc-
piled, MADAM, don't sympathize with
me, for ! have concluded that n man
who is fool enough to give up tho po-
sition held in the army 10 accept the
Presidency, deserves no sympathy"
1t will be noticed that il was not
tho "herculcan labors' that troubled
Grant. As he thought Of the good
times he has had at Saratoga, and bo.
hind Bonner's blooded stock, and at
the Agricultural Fairs of several
States, he doubtless smiled at the idea
of the lady that ho was working him.
self to death.
But the remark brought up TO
Grants memory all the money that
ho lost by surrcndering the General.
ship. He is beginning to think that
when he retires from the Presidency
he will not be held in universal es.
