sued bv ordinary mortals. Somehow Oh
other this personal phase Of the Grant char.
acter obtrudes itself in nearly all the work
ofthe administration.
IL ia fresh in the recollection of the PEG.
nile how the hero of Vicksburg and the VII
darness coWardly conceded the claims set
mn tv Great Britain in the case of the Ala.
bama treaty and ignominiously retired the
American eagle under the menacing roar OF
the British lion.
Sure enough it turns out now that this
was the personal work of Gen. Grant, him
self, against the advice of Fisk and other
members of his cabinet. 1t seems that for
several years two of Gen. Grants chief ad-
yisers and indeed the most eminent func-
tionaries in his kitchen cabinet have been
Louis Jennings of the New York Times
and Henry Clews banker. Both ofthese
men are unnaturalized Englishmen, and treat
with open disdain all suggestions that they
become Americans. They are here simply
for money making and will leave for Eng
land when they shall have gratified their
greed. These are the pals and cronies of
GRAFT. Jennings is the editorial mouthpiece,
and Clews is his monied man of all work.
Clews viii be remembered IS the accom-
plice of Bullock and Kimball in the finan-
cial undoing of Georgia and negotiated for
bis associates here and abroad that fearful
pile of bonds which the Legislature of
that State has Just declined to
pay as having been fraudlently is-
sued and fagitiously misappropriated.
He is the financial agent of the United
States in England by the grace of Grant
who year ago superseded with Clews the
old and respectable American house of the
Earrings, which for quite half century
has been doing the business of the United
States in that country. This, more than
probably any other act of Grant, has served
to excite disgust with our Government
among respectable financiers.
When the great Grant meeting was held
last spring at the Cooper Institute, Clews
will be remembered as having been selected
10 preside over it. This was in obedience
20 orders issued by Grant TO Murphy, and
he farce occurred of an unnaturalized Bull
presiding over monster political assem-
Dlage of the friends of the Administration. |
This was the meeting that advised retreat |
md concession in the matter of the Ala |
Iama treaty. t
The resolutions were written by Jen- |
lings. The intimacy Of Clews and Jen-
lings with Grant continues, and queer as
t may seem, they are his advisers in the |
oreign policy of the United States.
The British Ministry could well have az
orded to have paid them 100000 each |
or their work. The question is, have they |
lot received il? That they earned it is
ute certain. lizard.

| To the Editor of the Union and Americans:
MCMINNLILLE, Aug. 10, 1S72.-The
Banner in its issue of the 9th says ave
met Gen. B. ]. Hill on the street yesterday,
who tells US queer story about the late
Warren County Convention; he says while
T. 3. Murray, w. j. Cliff, ID. F. Wallace,
E. j. Wood and himself, had retired from
the Convention as an appointed commit
tee TO draft suitable resolutions, number
of the ex-President's friends hurriedly
rushed through resolution instructing the
delegates to the State Convention to vote
for a. j. for Congressman at large, thus
DENYING the committee chance TO have
say" Now we are very much surprised to
hear you state this upon the authority of
Gen. Hill, who very well knew that there
was not the semblance of truth in the state
ment.
The truth is, as Gen. Hill and all the
committee well know, that not one scord
lcdS said IN the Convention IN their Gb
Sence. No motion of any kind was
made until the committee returned
and their chairman, Col. Murray, read their
scout and dried" resolutions. The proceed
ings then took place just as copied into the
UNION AND AMERICAN of the 18th inst.
The convention was well attended, and
the motion to instruct the delegates to vote
for johnson was almost unanimously adopt
ed. Gen. Hill was in the convention, and
poured out his vial of wrath upon the head
of Andy to his hearts content before the
adoption of the resolutions. Col. Ii. L. W.
Hill vas present, and replied to him with
his Characteristic vim. Has Gen. Hill for
gotten this in so short a time, or does he
mean to misrepresent the good people Of
his own county whose will it was and is to
vote for Hon. Andrew johnson for Con-
gress? CITIZEN.

To the Editor Of the Union and American.
ASHLAND CITY, TENN, Aug. 10, 1871
l have been watching "The Peoples" for
some time, and seeing that no one is
making any move for convention of the
counties of Cheatham, Dickson and Hous-
ton for the purpose of nominating candi-
dates for the Legislature, think we
should stand firm and keep well organized.
In order 10 do this it is necessary to have a
convention. would suggest to the above
named counties that we have a convention,
say at Charlotte, Dickson county, about
the 18th of September. Who's duty is it
to call said convention? We would like to
hear from some one on this subject. We
should also have Senatorial convention in
this district. Let's hear from some district
man Oh this. Since our election has passed
off times are very dull, our unsuccessful
candidates have all played" as We scarce
IL ever see one. Saloon tenders are In
mourning for the lost cause and "dead-
heads" are very dry. Won't Grant or some
of his ring send little Government funds
to give them "wee drop" PORTS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8. 1S72.-During our
late negotiations with England, growing out
of the Alabama claims, the queer figure cut
by the administration was sought to be ex-
planned, and al the time was attributed to
the various causes of ignorance, imbecility,
stupidity, timidity or venalty, all of which
qualities at one period or another it had de.
yeloped in its foreign or domestic transac.
tons. There were those, however, who
sought an explanation of its phenomenal
conduct by usiGg the diving rod in sound
ing the depths of ''Grant nature" which
differs essentially from human nature and
moves by methods and on plans not pur-
