PLACE OF LEES SURRENDER A.
Poilards "Recollections of Appomattox Court
House," published in Old and Neao for August
we find the following account of the circum.
stances attending Lees surrender to Grant.
1t has been popularity reported that the first
lnlerView between the two commanders took
pace under an apple-tree, which has conse-
quently been crowned with historic associa-
tions. This is false. The fact is, on the morn.
ing OF the 9th OF April, Gen. Lee, with single
memper o. ms stan was resting under an ap.
staff, rode up under flag of truce, saving that
II Gen. Lee would remain where he was. Gen.
Grant would come to him by the road the lat
ter was then pursuing. This was the only in
.eavle Nv unaei OF near TIE apple-tree; and it
Col. Marshall, who attended Gen. Lee on the
occasion, was surprised to find Federal soldiers
hacking at the tree, and was amused at their
idea OF obtaining from it mementoes of the sur
render Obtaining news of Grants apnroocb
Gen Lee at once ordered Col. Marshall to find
hit and convenient house tor the interview
Col. Marshall applied to the first citizen he
met, Mr.. Wilmer Mclean, and was directed to
house vacant and dsmantled. He refused to
use 1t; snd Mr. Mclean then offered to conduct
him and the general to his own residence a
comfoi table frame house, with a long portico
and convenient "sitiiug-roOm furnished after
the bare style of the times.
Aho houeo was duout udll mile distant from
Gen. Lees camp. The Confederate comman-
der was attended only by one of his aids, Col.
Marshall, boysh, yOuthful-looking scion of
the old and illustrous Marshall family of Viz
sinia, who had been the constant COMPANION
OF Gen. Lee in all bis campaigns. and, as his
private secretary, bad done good literary ser
vice In the preparation of reports of battles
&c, which are now historical. With Grant
there were several of his staff officers; and
number of Federal generals, including Ord and
Sheridan, entered the room, and Joined the
there.
The interview opened without the least cere-
mony. The story has been frequently repeat
ed that GEL. Lee rendered his sword, and that |
Gen. Grant returned it with a complimentary |
remark. There was no such absurdity. Gen.
Lee wore his sword (Which was not mis- usual |
habit; and, on the exchange of salutations,
Gen. Grant remarked 81 must apologize, gen.
eral, for not wearing my sword; it had gone off |
in my baggage when 1 received your note"
Gen. Lee bowed, and at once, without further
conversation, asked that Gen. Grant would

The defenders and apologists of the Tam.
many ring attempt to shield Mayor Hall and
Controller Connolly under the shallow pre-
text that they are in no manner bound to
examine the accounts for the payment of
which they give their warrants, the duty de-
volving upon board Of Supervisors. 1t
would then become question why the ofic-
ers were called upon TO sign warrants at all
had not the Supreme Court of New York de-
cided that it is the duty of these officers to
scrutinize all bills and refuse to sign all that
are not, in their opinion, just .4a.t-
The Times defies the Mayor and Alderman
to print the full accounts of the city, and pre-
diets that they never will do it. g
1t is worthy OF note that while every Demo
cratic paper of New England that we have
seen that noticed the matter at, all, volunteers
