Grant and Hancock

Some time since, General Han.
cock wrote to Lieutenant General
Sherman, inquiring why he was
not promoted to the position made
vacant by the death of General
Thomas, which belonged to him
in the order of precedence. His
letter was shown to President
Grant, who dictated the substance
of the reply. Shortly afterwards
General Hancock received a cnrt
answer, couched in the followipr
insulting terms:
II am requested by the Presi.
dent to inform you that there il
nothing in your personal relations
to General Grant, or in your off.
cial relations to his administration
that could justify your promotion
now, or lead you to expect it here.
after.n
Even if the President had deter.
mined to ignore the just claims of
this distinguished officer, why
should he descend to this exhibi.
ton of insulting insolenceq He
might have closed the door against
Gen. Hancock without slamming
it so rudely in his face. A cold,
stiff civility would have been irri.
tating enough, without q display
OF spltetul personal feeling, or a
gratuitous threat to obstruct Gen.
HancOck's rise in the army so long
as President Grant remains in
power. No 0the President than
Grant would have thus gratifed
his personal malignity at the ex-
penSe of the official decorum. ANY
other President, even if he could
have acted on so ignoble a motive,
would have had the decency to
veil it under the specious forms of
official etiquette. An answer
might easily have been made to
Gen. Hancock, which, while ex-
tinguishing his hopes, would not
nave stung his pride or wounded
his sensibilities. But the Presi.
dent could not restrain himself
from offering an affront; and the
sharp pen of Gen. Sherman gave
terseness and point to the insult.
So far as we can reeollect, this
is the first time that Gen. Grant
has authorized an expression in
writing of the princi les Oh which
he makes his appointments, and
Of the extension Of those principles
to promotions in the army N.
